Long Time No Log On
Long Time No Log On
My goodness, has it been a year since I have done anything here? I suppose that I am looking at Facebook most of the time because that is where I find all the "news." I have stopped doing Farmville, although I have not deleted the application. The game has changed since I started it, and has gone from being fun to being a source of stress. When I began doing it, it was under my control, and now so much has been added that I just can't keep up with it all. It has gone from one farm to five, and there are different building projects, quests and other things to do on each farm. I couldn't finish even if I had 25 hours in a day! I have decided not to go back there for awhile.
So what else have I been doing? EBay! It all started when I found out that the Vogue Doll Company had come out with replicas of dolls from long ago, namely Jill and Ginny. I still have my original two Jill dolls (actually, maybe there were three - I now recollect a doll with tape on her knee) and a Ginny doll and the replicas were very well done, so I ordered a couple. The vintage dolls are not all that expensive, especially compared to vintage Barbie, so I got me a few of those, too. Then I had to check out the Madame Alexander department and discovered Cissette. A few Madames later I gave Ginny a look. I never really liked the Ginny doll that I had and never played with her, but now, looking at the different stages in Ginny's development from painted eye Toddles to Strung Ginny to Painted Lash-Molded Lash and from Straight Leg to Bendable, I found Ginny quite interesting. Virga dolls were also quite nice, so I had to add a few of those to the growing crowd, along with a couple of Ginger dolls. It's a good thing that I am working again. Well, I have decided that enough is enough and have deleted my entire eBay watch list (again!). Really, this time I mean it.
OK, now for the reason that I am really here - the Monica Chronicles! Stay tuned.
Oh, and Happy Birthday to DH. Sonny B and Bride to B are coming over for pizza tonight.
