AG Spotlight: Zoe Barber

Ey laba (hey there)!  I just celebrated my first adoptaversary.

FULL NAME:  Zoe Elise Barber

NICKNAME:  My friends call me "Skylark" because I love birds and singing, and because I like the Sarah, Plain and Tall series

WHERE I GOT MY NAME:  The Moon Girl says I just looked like a Zoe.  "Elise" is one of her cousins.

BIRTHDAY:  May 19th

JUST LIKE YOU NUMBER:  #26

HOMETOWN:  Westwego, Louisiana 

HEAD MOLD:  Addy

HAIR COLOR:  Medium brown

EYE COLOR:  Medium brown

FAVORITE COLORS:  Medium brow...I mean purple and yellow.  Long live Louisiana State University!

THINGS I LIKE:  Jesus, cheerleading, wearing nice new clothes, falconry, summertime, hair do-dads, my doll (Cecile Rey), juvenile lit (Sarah, Plain and Tall is my favorite kiddie book, as I said above), knowing a language none of my friends speak (I speak Louisiana Creole, and I've thrown in a few short phrases), Egyptian mythology, Cajun food, LSU football, flamingos and birds in general, Tinkerbelle and fairies in general, Licorice the cat, music.  MUSIC!!!  I love to sing!

THINGS I DISLIKE:  Hitting bad note when I sing, tight shoes, super-loud thunder, conflict, stage fright, having my hair fooled with (unless I really trust the person doing it; Silver Bird doesn't like it PERIOD), not being able to fly, licorice the candy (blah)

MY CHOICE OF MUSIC:  Anything I can sing to, but Stevie Wonder's "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" is my favorite song.  I still can't believe Stevie was fifteen when he made that into a hit.

PET:  Licorice, a longhaired tuxedo cat, and Geddy, a snowy owl.  Geddy is away at the moment, so y'all can only see Licorice.

Using a snowy owl for falconry purposes is one of the dumbest things I've ever done.  They do make good falconry birds, but not as far south as I am.  And in Louisiana, forget it!  To properly use a snowy owl for falconry you have to be on their turf.

BEST FRIENDS:  Justine-Marie and Sadie because they like to play "dress-up," and my fellow members of the Four-Eyed Freaks.  

SOMEONE I'D RATHER AVOID:  I get along with everyone pretty well.  Doremi can be difficult at times, but we get along.

HOW I CAME HERE:  I came from eBay, as many of my friends did.

ABOUT ME:  Some of my friends have baggage, so I try to be warm, outgoing, and polite to everyone, just as I want them to be to me.  While many of my friends like to play music or dance, I prefer to sing.  Indeed, singing is my favorite pastime.  Besides "Uptight," my favorite songs to sing are "Think," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," and "You Are My Sunshine."  I love the beat Josh Turner puts into "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," LOL.  Anyway, Moon Girl says she'd like to set up a stage with a karaoke set for me.  I told her I wouldn't mind the karaoke set since American Girl once made one anyway, but as for the stage...well, the world's a stage!  Obnoxious Second Uncle's shed can be a stage!  Not a bad place to watch birds, either.  I wish I had my binoculars.

Ca fe sho (it's hot)!  Last week the weather was delightful, but it's getting warm again.  The summer is ending the way it began:  springlike, rain, hot.  Springlike, rain, hot.  Sometimes the mornings are foggy, as they can be during the spring and the fall.  I love fall, because it means time for Halloween and for college football.  Go Tigers!

Tigers are usually known for having stripes, but my tiger is a longhaired tuxedo.  Her name is Licorice, and her favorite spot is on my right hip...or chewing on my lip.  Li fol (she is crazy, LOL).

Not much longer, puddy tat, and then we can sit outside and read.  Or we can play in the leaves, I like that too. 

Now for some weird reason, the Moon Girl wants to use me to show y'all something.  It's MY spotlight, Moon Girl! 

*Side note from the Moon Girl:  I think you'll like this, Zoe.

Like it???  This dress is supposed to be a summer dress, but it's got a FUR WRAP.  Who wears FUR in SUMMER???  But anyway, the Moon Girl threw me in this outfit, fur wrap and all, because she noticed something.

She says I look just like Claudie Wells, the new historical girl.  Hey, that is kinda cool!  What do y'all think?  Doesn't my outfit look like her Jazzy Flapper and Fur Coat set?

Coincidence, I promise!!!  Claudie is a sharp little dresser so I won't knock being compared to her.  I still prefer this dress for winter, though.

I guess that's all there is for me to say.  Like the Moon Girl's other dolls, I'm pretty easy to please.

Swenn-twa (take care)!
Zoe Elise Barber

AG Spotlight: Kyle MacDonald

So far I'm the only boy.

FULL NAME:  Kyle Andrew MacDonald

WHERE I GOT MY NAME:  I came with the name "Kyle," and the Moon Girl threw in a middle and last name.

CUSTOMIZED FROM:  An unknown Just Like You girl.  Somewhere along the line I got a new wig and a pair of Pleasant Company Samantha eyes.  Better than Bette Davis eyes, I guess.

HOMETOWN:  Inverness, Mississippi

HEAD MOLD:  Classic

HAIR COLOR:  Light blonde

EYE COLOR:  Dark brown (I'm the third brown-eyed blonde that y'all have met, LOL)

FAVORITE COLOR:  Red, yellow, and green

THINGS I LIKE:  Playing basketball, tractors (especially John Deere tractors), climbing trees, being a country boy, playing make-believe, scavenger hunts, tornado history (my hometown took it on the chin once, just like Silver Bird's and Denise's did), the sciences (particularly earth science and medicine), dogs, comic books (The Amazing Spider-Man is my favorite), MARCH MADNESS!!!

THINGS I DISLIKES:  Cities, getting caught crying (hey, I'm human...well, humanish, sometimes I needs to cry too, but do I hate it it when someone catches me), people who don't have imaginations, unfairness and injustice, feeling useless

HIS CHOICE OF MUSIC:  John Mellencamp, preferably the songs "Paper in Fire" and "Small Town."

PETS:  Meatloaf, a bulldog, and Dixie, a young St. Bernard.

BEST FRIEND:  Julie and Kailey.  They're both brown-eyed blondes, and Julie loves basketball, just like I do.  It was my idea to start up the Dumb Blonde Society, so I'm pretty close to all my fellow blondes.  Kirsten is also kinda special since she'll sometimes cook something special just for me.  I like talking politics with Felicity too, and I like talking tornado history with Silver Bird.  

SOMEONE I'D RATHER AVOID:  Mainly Luciana.  I like talking the sciences with her, but she's WAY too serious at times.  Lindsey and Molly talk too much, but I like them better since they like to play outside.

HOW I CAME HERE:  Moon Girl's mama got me for her!  She got another boy doll too around the same time, a brown-eyed brunette pirate named Lucas, but poor Lucas never arrived and thus I'm the only boy.

ABOUT ME:  I love country life.  Inverness, where I once came from, is a small town, and so is my current home, Malden.  If you've lived in a small town all your life you don't know anything else, and I figure that city slickers probably feel the same way, but the closest I want to be to a city is Cape Girardeau.  You learn to entertain yourself when you grow up in the sticks.  You gawk at freight trains, you count airplanes, you turn over rocks and look at the insects underneath, you hunt toads, and if you have more than two people you play whiffle ball or Hide and Seek...unless it's raining, like it's done a lot this week.  Just as well, since July was unbearably hot.  I'm used to heat and humidity, but not inside, for crying out loud!  So the rain has been greatly appreciated and enjoyed, though the Moon Girl tells me the cotton farmers probably aren't loving it.  As an aside, Moon Girl's porch is perfect for basketball, funky blue light and all!  Too bad Julie and I don't have a hoop...or a ball.

Wait a minute...Silver Bird and Rita Cheryl both have balls for their respective sports, so how come we don't???

*Side note from the Moon Girl:  Well why didn't you two say you wanted one???  I'm not a mind reader!

Oh yeah...well now you know, so...can we please have a basketball???

*Side note from the Moon Girl:  Y'all have been good kids lately, so I'll see what I can find.  I've been wanting Julie's basketball uni for awhile anyway.

YES!!!  Julie's a pretty mean player, so I'm excited to see how I do against her this winter.  Since we don't have the proper equipment neither of us can really practice.  But the Moon Girl has been very good to us, so I know she'll make good on her promise.  We can always jerry-rig a hoop, but without the ball we're kinda outta luck.

And believe it or not, that's pretty much me in a nutshell.  Basketball is my favorite thing, though I do also love to climb trees.  I don't collect anything like some of the girls do...not yet, anyway.  But I do like Marvel Comics...and DC, I'm not picky.  I prefer Marvel, though, particularly Spider-Man.  He can climb far better than I ever could, and he helps people instead of fooling around, like I like to do.  The Moon Girl says I'll find my own way to help my friends, and I hope she's right.  Julie says that I always cheer her up when she's down, and I'm glad of that.  I'm glad I've got a friend like Julie.

The Moon Girl's mama says we look enough alike that we could be brother and sister.  Sometimes I pretend that we are!  For the record, I also enjoy Kailey's presence in my life, but she says it's too hard for her to move right now.  I understand what that's like; at my old home I had to have my strings tightened.  I promised her that when her strings are tightened we'll play more together.  And for that matter, Julie could probably do with a tightening, as she kept falling over during the pictures.  Oh well, she stays positive, and that's the most important thing.

Yours truly,
Kyle Andrew MacDonald

Adric, the golden star

Or in this case, the golden furball!

In a bizarre repeat of Tommy and Lancelot's adoption, I went out late last night and heard "mew, mew, mew" coming from across the street.  This time instead of actively searching, I just stood in my yard and yelled "Here kitty, kitty, kitty!"  My efforts were almost instantly rewarded, as this yellow goober came running across the street.  He didn't try to climb my leg like Tommy did, but he acted like he'd have liked to.  Like Tommy, he's about half-grown.  

The last time I had kittens I named them after Game of Thrones characters (Eddard/Sansa and Arya) or songs (Mustang Sally), and they all promptly died.  This time I went the Doctor Who route, naming my young rascal after one of the Doctor's more obnoxious comrades (and he's had plenty of those, LOL).  The real Adric ended up dying due to his own know-it-all behavior, so I hope his namesake won't end up the same way.  So far my little Adric appears healthy, but he is a pest, LOL.  I think I named him well.

Yes, shred my old pajamas.  Be my guest.  Like Mustang Sally, Adric came from a family down the street that apparently doesn't believe in spaying and neutering.   Seriously, there's ALWAYS kittens there.  Last time I counted there were four of them:  one black, one calico, one dilute calico, and this yellow chap that roamed a bit too far from home.  Since he came from the same house as Sally I figure Adric is either her younger brother or cousin, and I suspect that he may be related to Tommy as well since Tommy and Sally were so much alike.  Having previously been an outside cat Adric has a lot of spunk, but he also has been socialized.  His favorite things to do are tackle my arm and purr while digging his claws in.  Ouchie...LOL.

Welcome home, Adric.  Please stay healthy.  Don't leave me like Sally did!

Love and purrs,
RagingMoon1987

Rita Cheryl meets another baby

This one was pretty different from Mirabel, but she's no less cute.

"Sandra," named by her mommy on the spur of the moment, is one of those vinyl-and-cloth jobs that one can get from Wally World for a fiver or so.  She's got a cute little face and quite pretty eyes.

Not bad for a cheapie!  I think that with a few adjustments she could wear Bitty Baby clothes, but what caught Sandra's mommy's eye was Rita Cheryl's necklace.  It's your average charm-keeper necklace that American Girl released for their dolls about ten years back, but Sandra's mommy liked it...and wanted it.  LOL, I think she was hoping that I'd just take my necklace off Rita Cheryl and hand it over!  Not likely, little one, but now I know what to get this little girl for Hanukkah (her family celebrates Hanukkah over Christmas for commercialization reasons).

And yet...still no Nellie!  The wait continues...

Love,

RagingMoon1987 

Meeting Mirabel

Rita Cheryl continues to wait at the library for Nellie, whom one of my friends owns and intends to bring.  So far no dice, but y'all may have gathered yesterday that Rita Cheryl is a little stubborn.  Yesterday that stubbornness paid off, as Rita Cheryl got to meet a really cute baby.

That's Mirabel Madrigal, of course.  Goodness knows where her glasses have gone, but seeing as she belongs to a five-year-old, she's still in good shape.  Of course I got the gimmies when I saw Mirabel's curls, but I'll hold off for now, LOL.  I do wish I hadn't photographed these two against a black background, because their hair blends in!  

Love-love,
RagingMoon1987

AG Spotlight: Rita Cheryl Lassiter

I'm Rita Cheryl.

FULL NAME:  Rita Cheryl Lassiter

WHERE I GOT MY NAME:  I'm somewhat morbidly named after a little girl who died in a bus accident in 1958.  I look nothing like my namesake, who had reddish hair and blue-green eyes, but it's a nice name.  Rest in peace, Rita Cheryl Matney.  My last name came from a book by Zane Grey.

JUST LIKE YOU NUMBER:  #49

BIRTHDAY:  November 23rd

HOMETOWN:  Vinegar Hill, Brooklyn, New York City, New York

HEAD MOLD:  Classic

HAIR COLOR:  Black, with some caramel-colored highlights mixed in

EYE COLOR:  Light blue

FAVORITE COLORS:  Red, royal blue, and purple

THINGS I LIKE:  Volleyball and cheerleading, the New York Yankees, kids' cartoons like Doc McStuffins and Paw Patrol, Hello Kitty and her various Sanrio cronies, early summer days (the kind when it's neither too hot nor too cool), Star Wars in moderation (kill Jar-Jar with fire), sunglasses, lounging in pajamas, storm spotting (I sometimes join the Moon Girl in gawking at thunderstorms, like I did last December), being held, pandas (both red and the regular kind), and my beanbag chair.  It's got butterflies on it!  See?

The Etsy seller liked that picture so much that she used it on her shop!  She asked for Moon's permission, of course.

THINGS I DISLIKE:  Feeling unwanted, my own personality flaws, going outside without sunglasses (a woe of all blue-eyed folk), dropping my flyer (Doremi, wouldn't you guys know), being treated as a cut-rate person because I'm half-Native American, falling off the Moon Girl's bed (I do that a lot), extra-hot weather (the Moon Girl says I'm handling it better than she is)

MY CHOICE OF MUSIC:  Boston and Shinedown are my favorite bands, even though they're pretty different.  "Hitch a Ride" and "Bully" are my favorite songs, though "Bully" is a little bittersweet since I've been both the giver and the receiver of bullying.  

FAMILY:  Rilla Louise is my cousin, much to my dismay.

PET:  I'm babysitting Gabriela's cat for now.  I guess that counts.  Gabby wrote to me saying that her name is Maya.

Don't worry, Gabby.  Maya is in good hands.  In fact you may not get her back, as she's too darn cute!  She's WAY cuter than the stock photos!

BEST FRIENDS:  I used to be a loner, but but Justin and Samantha have taken a liking to me.  Courtney, Z, and Luciana have also accepted me into their little clique as well since I'm a casual Star Wars fan.  I think they're hoping that I'll become enough of a fan to pick a side, and indeed I'm leaning towards Sith, largely so Luciana won't be alone on the dark side (the Moon Girl also identifies as a Sith, LOL).  Z compares us to the girls on Turning Red, and I don't disagree too much with that...except she compares me to Mei, because I love red pandas.  LOL, I don't relate too well with Mei, but I won't complain.  I'm also on the cheerleading team with Justine-Marie, Doremi, Zoe, and Joss, and I like Zoe and Joss a lot.  Joss never quits, even when the going gets tough, and I respect that.  Zoe is always positive and encouraging, and I respect that as well.

SOMEONE I'D RATHER AVOID:  Rilla Louise, Justine-Marie and Doremi, for reasons I'll share in the "about me" section.

HOW I CAME HERE:  I came from eBay, in a sparkly blue tracksuit, no less!

ABOUT ME:  I'm kinda hard to get to know.  I hide a deeply insecure heart behind a wall of bossy confidence, and sometimes that grates on people.  I don't mean for it to, but it is what it is.  My family was highly dysfunctional; my mother is full-blood Iroquois and my father is white, and my egg donor's family never let me forget it.  As that broad Cher sang, I'm white by law.  And yet those same people are the ones that collectively had a stroke when I renounced them all.  My dad's side of the family wasn't much better, as his elitist sister and her family were much wealthier than I was.  Rilla Louise is that witch's daughter, and she's just like her mother:  an elitist snob.  She tells me now that she's sorry, she's sorry, and she may very well be, but I can't bring myself to forgive her.

But then why should I?  Doremi won't forgive me.  I know I was wrong for wanting to be Doremi's only friend.  I know I was wrong to be jealous of her friendship with Justine-Marie.  I know I was wrong for being mean to Justine-Marie and trying to drive them apart.  I want to apologize, but...I'm so afraid now.  What if they won't accept me?  I know I don't deserve it.  I should probably sit down with Rilla Louise and ask her if that's how she feels; that might be a good way to break the ice with her.  Oh well, I have my circle of friends and that's enough for now.

Alrighty, enough negativity.  I like to play volleyball, though I'm the only one who likes it (Luciana got smacked with the ball the last time she tried to play).  As a result I have to use the wall for practice.

Oh well, I make it work.  Like Kailey I collect stuff, but unlike Kailey I do the Sanrio thing.  Kuromi, Badtz-Maru, and Aggretsuko are my favorite characters (Aggretsuko gets double points because she's a red panda), but any of 'em will do.  See my necklace?  Told you guys I like Kuromi!

I apologize for not having anything else to show you guys, like Kailey did.  Moon says she's going to make up for that, but in the meantime she got me a miniature of my favorite American Girl doll.  Good ol' Gabby.

I wonder how Gabby would feel if she knew I had her as a mini-doll?  Doremi and Silver Bird have their pen pals as dolls too (Addy and Maryellen, respectively), while Courtney and Denise own miniature versions of two dolls here in the Moon House (Molly and Luciana, respectively).  Molly just accepts her mini-me, but I've never asked Luciana what she thinks about Denise owning a Mini Luci, as we all call her.  Come to think of it, Denise never asked Luciana either.  If I know Luciana like I do she'll probably blame her miniature's existence on aliens and laugh it off.  Now that she's got that crazy Tribble Luci laughs everything off.  Like Doremi, Luciana has changed since I've known her...but she's changed for the better.  Maybe Doremi needs a Tribble.  I'd suggest that Doremi pet Luci's Tribble, but Luci doesn't like Doremi much, and the feeling is mutual.  Not many of the dolls in Casa del Luna do like Doremi, mainly because of the way she treats Justin.

More about me, now...hmmm, what to say, what to say?  Sheesh, I'll say that I am MELTING!!!

*Side note from Luciana:  YOU'RE MELTING, MELTING!!!

Yeah, what a world, what a world, LOL!  Who'd have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?  But seriously, it got hot in New York City, but not quite like this!  The Moon Girl says I'm getting my Moana vibe on with this outfit, but in truth I'm just trying to stay cool.  That's a panda dangling from my necklace, by the way; he's since migrated to my wrist.  My top is a cloth face mask that was too tight for the Moon Girl.

School will be starting soon, so these playground pictures will have to stop.  The Moon Girl says she doesn't want to go poking around school when it's in session (or soon after it lets out), lest she look like a creeper.  Anyway, I told Luci that she needs a long, loose skirt like I've got.  Seriously, girl, it'll feel some better.

*Side note from Luciana:  I've got THIS skirt, for crying out loud!  

But it's denim, and denim's heavy!  Mine's made of linen.

*Side note from Luciana:  I'm fine!  Besides, isn't that equipment hot on your feet???

Nope, can't say that it bothers me!  I guess I'm more cut out for hot weather than I thought, even though it still isn't much fun.  Now to you folks still reading, we did get a lot of rain this week (and we may get some more), so it hasn't been as miserably hot.  In fact, the evenings have a slightly autumnal feel and smell to them.

Autumn can't get here fast enough!  It was September when I arrived (last year, LOL), so I've got plenty of cute outfits to wear.  The Moon Girl says that Luciana needs some fall garb.  Can't wait to see what she gets!  

Love,
Rita Cheryl Lassiter 

AG Spotlight: Kailey Hopkins

The Moon Girl once said she'd never own me, but here I am!

FULL NAME:  Kailey Sabrina Hopkins

HOMETOWN:  Small-town southern California.  I'm the fourth California girl, after Julie, Courtney, and Amanda.

HEAD MOLD:  Classic

HAIR COLOR:  Sun-streaked blonde

EYE COLOR:  Dark brown

FAVORITE COLOR:  Blue, green, and gray, the colors of the sea according to Sarah Wheaton in Sarah, Plain and Tall, and the colors of beach glass too, for that matter.  I also like tan, the color of sand, and orange, the color of the sunset.

THINGS I LIKE:  Surfing, boogie boarding, and water sports in general, beachcombing, summertime, Monster High and Ever After High (Lagoona Blue is my favorite character, for reasons listed below), bowling, irises, snow, watching dragonflies (and fireflies too, for that matter), cicadas and the noise they make, insects in general (except red wasps, shudder).

THINGS I DISLIKE:  People using the ocean as their own trash dump, a sentiment first made by the one and only Lagoona Blue, plus people who won't take the time to learn the difference between me and Julie.  There are ways to tell us apart if people will just LOOK!!!

MY CHOICE OF MUSIC:  The Beach Boys are my favorite band, mainly for the song "California Girls."  I like Van Halen too, learned to like them after I heard "Unchained" and their cover of "California Girls."  I'm not a big fan of Van Hagar, though I do love "Humans Being."

PET:  Sandy, a golden retriever.

BEST FRIENDS:  Julie, because she cares about the environment, and Marina and Joss, because they like to beachcomb and swim.  I also appreciate Silver Bird setting me up with a pen pal (I write to Kira Bailey a lot).  I had no idea that people even bothered to write to each other anymore!

SOMEONE I'D RATHER AVOID:  Sometimes Julie, because she and and I look a lot alike.  This hasn't stopped us from being good friends, but it still irks me.  I wouldn't like living with Kira for the same reason, but she WON'T be coming to live with us so I can rest easy.  

HOW I CAME HERE:  Another eBay find!  

ABOUT ME:  I haven't changed much since 2003.  I love nature and animals and I do what I can to help out.  Since I live in the middle of the country now I've started volunteering at a safari ranch, one that has a wide array of critters, like Slow Moe the sloth... 

...and Grasshopper the baby wallaby.

Despite being a California girl I've adjusted well to the fickle climate of the Midwest.  Winter is just an opportunity to wear sparkly, fuzzy things!

Snow rarely fell where I used to live, so I had a lot of fun with the last snow we had.  Justine-Marie is a proficient skier, and she's offered to teach me to ski in exchange for boogie boarding lessons.

The heat isn't as bad as it was since last week we got a lot of rain (and we may get some more today), but it's still warm enough for boogie boarding.  Too bad American Girls can't boogie board for real!  One of the cardinal rules for owning one of us is DON'T GET US WET.  But we can always pretend; in fact, for us dolls fake water is better than real water!  And just between you and me and the cocoanut tree, my posing is even worse than Lindsey's.  I have a very hard time standing up and thus a very hard time moving.  The Moon Girl says that Lindsey and I are both a 3 on the scale she made up.  Oh well, all the easier to sit and listen to the cicadas.  I like cicadas, just like the Moon Girl does.  See the big shell?

The Moon says he hatched out right on her doorframe.  She says she even got pictures.

*Side note from the Moon Girl:  Indeed I did.  It isn't every day that one gets to see a cicada shedding its nymph skin, so I took advantage of the opportunity to pop a few images.  Here he was still in his skin, but not moving much.  I could see his new skin underneath the old.  When they stop moving like this they need to be left alone so they can do their thing, so that's exactly what I did.  For reference, I'm 5'8" and the insect was about shoulder-high to me (I had to hold Kailey in the frame above, LOL).

Half an hour later I checked in and found the cicada half-out of his shell and letting his wings unfurl.

I love how bright their eyes are when they're new!  The next morning the cicada was gone, so I assume that he dried out sufficiently and flew away to spend a week or so singing his heart out (cicadas are sadly rather short-lived in their adult form).  Pretty cool, right Kailey?

Yes, very, though I admit that I prefer to play with the husks.  I can wear them in my hair or on my clothes.

Shame I can't keep this one, but these things are kinda fragile.  That, and Moon has enough stuff for me as it is.  I collect Monster High stuff.  See my toys?

That's not even all of 'em; I just picked my favorites.  I picked three of Moon's favorites too, since she asked nice.

Most of my Monster High dolls are those little blind box figures that look like rag dolls, but I do have one that is like the larger ones, joints and shoes and all.  Can't beat Mega Blox!

Moon says that if she can ever find the room and the time she's going to set up rooms for each of us large dolls, just like another blogger once did.  She says that's why she's bothering to get toys for each of us (she calls them "props").  Not that her reasoning matters to me!  Once I was loved by a little girl, so it's nice to be that loved again.

Stay chill,
Kailey Hopkins

What we get

Jaylin got a new dress...

...I got bitten on the finger by a carpenter ant...

...and Mama got to go back to the hospital!  She's having severe pain again.  We don't know why yet.  Sigh...this summer has sucked, and it's not over yet.

Jeers,

RagingMoon1987
