The 9 Barbies arrived yesterday and I decided to keep 6 of them – 4 blondes, 1 black, 1 Asian. At least I think the Kira doll is Asian. Anyway, there are 2 brunettes and a blond I don’t want. They weren’t in as good condition as I was told they’d be in, but they were good enough for used dolls. I brushed out their hair and scrubbed off some spots that were on one of them. One doll was in a silver ball gown that was torn in a couple of places. It was in such shabby condition and I didn’t like the dress anyway that I ditched it. Barbie dressed as the lead from Gone with the Wind was boring, plus a yellow gown that one came in, along with a green gown. I don’t really care for yellow and dark green, so when we sell stuff I’ll sell the 3 Barbies in those outfits.

I’m also going to sell the Alex and Eve fashion dolls and two porcelain dolls – Samantha and Amelia.

Today I ordered a dozen rainbow Barbie stands for $20. The colors are 3 pink, 3 lavender, 3 sky blue, and 3 mint green.

Also, for just a little over a buck, I sent for a trial diet thing. It’s these pills that are supposed to help block fat absorption. It mentions that green tea that was in those vitamins, so hopefully I won’t end up puking or getting too jittery. I guess it’s similar. Anyway, for a lousy buck-something, plus extra points on Netflip, I figured why not? I believe I’ll always be heavy, though, and will probably get heavier and heavier with age, but oh well. There’s more to life than being skinny.

My letter is on its way to Rosa. It cost 60¢ to mail.
