Miss Perfect called today. It may’ve been only because she wanted something, but that’s ok because there’s plenty we want from her as well, like her old shit she’s too lazy to sell or dump. She may be a dependable worker, but Mary’s so lazy that she won’t even move and if anyone needs a bigger house, it’s her. And of course she could afford it, too. Anyway, she wants to buy the turntable so she can digitize her old records. Whether or not she’ll give us old junk to sell or any money, in the end, beats me. I have my doubts about them buying the RV because of how much money they’ve already lent us, though I say they could never give us enough after the time they stole from us as newlyweds as I’ve said a million times before. The time we lost to them was priceless. Anyway, I’m sure we’ll at least get one of Ma’s famous $20 bills.

We saw Kate guest starring in that show. She looks great for a rich person of her age yet lousy compared to 30 years ago. Again, TV today really sucks. It’s too damn predictable. In the 70s it was fun and entertaining. Now it’s too real, too graphic and too violent. And everything’s child abuse, childbirth, drugs and sex.

I made my final decisions, now that it’s getting closer, as to what my top 5 picks will be when getting the larger lifelike dolls. First, though, there was this site that had an amazing variety of eyes. I didn’t know so many existed! They had everything from realistic eyes to cat’s eyes, rainbows, metallic and all kinds of far-out colors. I’d go as far as violet or cornflower eyes, but metallic silver would detract from the realism of the dolls which is what I’m after in the first place. If I want far out I can get that with Barbie.

Anyway, my picks are “29 Spanish Alexa which I’ll get undressed and in a sitting pose. They’ll all be sitters except for Shani, the 22” black doll which I’ll get dressed. I’m getting 24” undressed Mandy with violet eyes and strawberry blond hair and 24” dressed Jamaica with auburn hair and green eyes. These 4 will come from Gwen at the Doll Market. From Linda at Doll Creations (because Gwen doesn’t have her) I’ll be getting 28” Becky with red hair and cornflower eyes. I hope to have them all within a year of him beginning a job.

Incense Galore added 13 new fragrances: chamomile, Egyptian goddess, first kiss, forbidden fruit, gingerbread, happy, holly berry, Hugo boss, Indian fruit, J. P. Gaultier, oriental nights, pleasure & unforgettable. Each time I order I’ll rotate between fragrances. When you have the same ones going day after day you tend to get so used to them that you can barely smell them. It’ll make them more special to take some time off from them. I still have hundreds of sticks, though, so it’ll be several months before I order again.

It doesn’t look like the person who won the first or the second set of incense is going to pay for them. At least we can do something about it for once. The first step is notifying eBay, then we give them a negative write-up.

We have 5 things ending tomorrow, plus we’ll be listing several more. I’ve got a few more Barbies I don’t want that can go up, plus more incense (I just hope that someday one of the winners will pay for it), the large rodent lot, plus a slew of other things. I may even try to auction Maria or sell her at the swap meet. The worst that could happen is that no one wants her and she goes with us to sit in our store forever.
