There is a yarn store three blocks away from work. They are having a *sale*. This *cannot* end well.

I looked up the garage sale listings for this weekend. Whatever money the yarn store and the comic book store don't get, I expect will go to yard sales. I'm hoping that I can find things for an arts-and crafts day next weekend-- anyone game? My house has air conditioning again! We even filled in the moat!

Work, while fun, concerns me because the woman who runs the summer program clearly had no idea what she's doing. Since I am new there too, I don't really blame her, except for when our paychecks are three days late. Then, there is blame. On the bright side, I have eight hundred dollars more than I used to!

I spent like *two hours* last night talking about American Girl dolls with Jori and LC. We decided that we should launch our own, historically accurate line of dolls.

plainsong x (10:11:14 PM): *kicks people*
hollimicheleh (10:11:20 PM): so yeah. clearly we should market our line of Historically Accurate American Girl Dolls.
plainsong x (10:11:41 PM): *snickers* clearly! cuddly, posable dolls with real hair and tragic pasts
hollimicheleh (10:11:46 PM): hee!
hollimicheleh (10:11:57 PM): oh man. they'd have the WORST accessories.
plainsong x (10:12:06 PM): i am so afraid of where your brain is going.
hollimicheleh (10:13:33 PM): hee. There'll be one who, like, has to pick fruit in California because her family farm got repossessed during the Depression.

The other dolls would include: Kanako, who lives in an internment camp in Utah during World War Two! Hannah, who wants to be an Olympic swimmer-- but since she lives in the '50s, and is Jewish, she's not allowed in the pool! Josephine, whose family plantation was put to the torch by Union soldiers, because they hid Confederates in their barn, and who much now suffer the indignities of Reconstruction! And various other, equally evil ideas. Possibly I have problems.

Also! If you are not reading Sprinklins!, well, why *aren't* you reading Sprinklins! ?
