New Residents to Venus

Well I got lucky again last night and won some $$$ in the lottery. A week's pay actually *big grin* So off I went shopping. I splurged most of it on more lottery tickets since my numbers have now changed with today's increase. And a new hair cut, which was badly needed. My hair has grown incrediably long, half way down my back. But it was just getting too much to handle and so I mostly wore it in a ponytail. Now I have it all layered and it is shoulder length. Once in awhile you just have to splurge on yourself I guess.
Of course I also went doll shopping *even bigger grin* MFD had some big girls on sale and so off I went to buy them. There is still one more to add to this group, she is coming later. I'll keep you in suspense as to who she is! I also saw the new Rhett today (the 17" guy) not impressed. He looks more like he should be in Morticia and Gomez's family than Scarlett's! Although if and when he comes on sale I will most likely buy him as I do need more males for Venus.

Here's the group that arrived today. I also bought an outfit for the new girl that is coming and an extra pair of shoes. These seemed to be a different shade of red that I don't have. Whether you are a doll or a real life woman, one cannot have too many shoes! I have a terrible shoe fetish....LOL





Here's the latest Brenda Starr, she is supposed to be undercover, hence the name 'Aurora Starr' and different colour hair. Brenda's is normally red. I coveted this gal for a long time! I posed her sideways so you could see the flower in her hair. I love her outfit too. Very classy!




Here's a close up of her face.












And here is another gal from the Oz collection. Of course I have had my eye on her since she first appeared on the scene. But there is always so many dolls to buy so waiting for a sale is a must sometimes so you can afford more LOL She is called Ambassador in Pink, but I have named her Annette.

She looks much better without the coat, don't you think. The bow and flower will have to go too. Makes her look more mature without it.

As you can see by the pix I was in a race with the impending storm clouds closing in. Marg from MFD is already in Orlando (convention) and she said it's pouring buckets there. So any of you that are attending that convention, take your umbrella and high boots LOL



The kitchen is at a standstill now until the counter arrives. Should be next week. Boy I hope so. This living without a kitchen sink (and running water) is the pits! Although my dishwasher is installed and I can use it. Still for cooking we have to go to the bathroom to drain stuff. We do have a water cooler for fresh water, courtesy of Jack's workplace who loaned us one of theirs.


So other than that, not much else is new. Lots of rain here though, thanks to the remnants of Gustave. Yes those storms do travel this far north. Hannah has not affected us as it travels up the east coast and we are too far in land for her to bother us. Although our maritime provinces are really taking a beating. Lots of flooding there.


I hope you are all staying dry and are preparing yourselves for Ike. He is gonna be a killer I fear.

Stay dry folks. I'm heading for higher ground (Lofton LOL)
