When in doubt....
Thursday, I stopped by the animal shelter to renew Mr. B's license and in a moment of total "blind-sided by cuteness", I adopted ANOTHER DOG. Her name is Molly and she's a chihweenie (chihuahua/dachshund mix) with cut vocal cords. We pick her up tomorrow and even though I have class until 8 p.m., I planned a tiny tea party for her so she could introduce herself properly to the Mystery Beast (Mr. B.) Of course, I spent the weekend personalizing a hideously tacky dog bag for her, buying her a dachshund-appropriate pea coat, and swiffering every possible surface of the apartment.
After punching myself in the head a few times for giving in to my massive do-gooder maternal urges, I somehow acquired this weird remorseless senility and BOUGHT A DAMN BETA FISH. Her name is Gladys and she just needed to break free from the Petsmart constraints. She'll have a tattoo and a boyfriend named Sharky within a few weeks. Trust.
This is definitely a reaction to Heather's scheduled c-section this week and my flaming lunatic schedule. Every minute I'm not at school this week, I'm either working, grading papers, attending ridiculous honor society meetings, or weeping...and going to temple because I am a Jew and that's what Jews do.
The girls (Blythe sisters, Genevieve and Emily) have been keeping me in stitches...in so many ways, man. I set up the sewing machine and started constructing a few dresses when I noticed that the episode of the Twilight Zone was on the tube, the episode where the DOLL KILLS PEOPLE. AARRGH. Luckily, I had so much cutesy material from Saturday's Methodist rummage sale, I could easily tame the girls' criminal urges with faaashhion.
A couple current projects: Ventura County Animal Regulation is in dire need of feeding/water bowls and dog blankets. I loaded up a bag of metal dog bowls and fleece baby blankets from Target and the 99-cent store and dropped it off. If you have some time, please help them out. You don't want puppies and kitties to freeze, right? Swing by 600 Aviation Drive in Camarillo. It's right next to the airport.
I also noticed that I was wasting a lot of toys and doll supplies while I was creating a wardrobe for my girls and going thrift crazy. Project Understanding in Ventura needs toys for homeless and at-risk boys and girls. I'm loading up all of my dolly spares and board games and taking them to ProjUn at 43 E. Vince Street off of Ventura Avenue. If you want to donate, let me know.
Not-so-charitable projects: screen capping, making greeting cards from "The Bad Seed" stills, Blythe wardrobe overhauling, finishing my Girl Scout badge lamp shade, doing some insane cake decorating....maybe sleeping. Who knows? Pictures soon!
