So on Thursday I'm off to Vancouver for some mental R&R from reality.
I've got pretty well everything on my list done that needed to be checked off ~ with the exception of last minute chores that have to wait till the last day anyway (ie., picking-up some rhubarb tarts & bakalava from the local bakeries for my pc techboy), lay out the schedules for everyone since they don't actually live here and have a clue... and packing.
YES that means the walls ARE DONE! Or at least what I intend to do in the way of painting is completed. I leave the furniture moving and arranging to the teens. It's THEIR dressingroom afterall.
It will be good to get away from online doll forums for a bit ~ I have been keeping to the threads involving tinies for the most part ~ because collectors of the small resins seem to me to be the most laid back and least self-absorbed of the bunch. It's all about the cute ~ period. I can't seem to disengage my temper completely so time to just disengage period, and pull the plug for a few weeks.
That doesn't mean no dolls though. The Feline siblings and Bonsai Boys are travelling with me, and I will be meeting up with the owner of the online dollshoppe, Featherfall while out in BC ~ which I am very much looking forward to. On the other hand my mother is insisting I look up my fathers' cousin which just makes me cringe. WHAT is the daughter of a former AD-man supposed to say to the man who invented National Buy Nothing Day??? The mind boggles.....
Anyway I will probably be posting daily while I'm away to keep you abreast of any adventures (or misadventures) :)
Okay...off to fold laundry (not going to miss that I can tell ya)

busy
And I am also not drooling over one certain face-up artist's site either. Hmph.
Have fun with Xan. Give her a big hug for me, would you?
Which reminds me, I need to pack tonight when I get off from work. Going to Denver on Thursday for an all day meeting/conference Friday. Might need to leave a little earlier to do some sightseeing up north before the evening wears away :)
*of course you're not*
If you deny it long enough you might even start to believe it ;)
I will definately give her a huge smooshy GLOMP for you *^___^*
Oh have a safe drive up to Denver and I hope you have a chance to take some time for yourself and enjoy the drive up there and back (CDs I pressume of the yummy bishie kinds?) and a bit of sight seeing. YOU deserve that! :)
Thank you. I'm sure she'll be ecstatic to see you! What a fun time you'll have. :)
I must remember to switch out the CD player in my car for the old one before going to bed tonight. The newer one I got skips at the tiniest bumps in the road. So not a good thing. The little light behind the clock burned out of the older one, but other than that everything else works much better. I don't need to see which track I'm on or what time it is as long as I can hear the CD. With the bishi. Moaning without hiccups.
Boss just told me I could leave tomorrow at 2 o'clock so I miss the rush hour traffic. That should get me there in plenty of time to go wandering around a bit. This will be like a nice little mini-vacation. Can't wait! I bet your visit with Xan will be much the same for you even if there is work to be done :)
