Not too much longer

Yesterday I wore my jelly bow and it didn't rain a drop.  Today I wore a bow that ISN'T jelly, and it's pouring!  That said, Easter/Resurrection Day isn't too far off!  Here's my bow for today; it's Peeps-themed!
Some of these came in pairs and are presumably meant to top pigtails (or dog ears, as some of my older friends call them), but I don't have enuff hair for pigtails anymore, and they always looked kinda dumb on me anyway.  Go figure; my favorite American Girl doll looks great in pigtails.  Notice that she too is clad in bows; I hate bare rubber bands on doll hair...and people hair too, for that matter.
Maybe Rita Cheryl's pigtails look better than mine because her hair is thicker than mine.  If you part my hair you can see clean through to my scalp.  My hair has always been thin; when I was a teenager it was so bad that during summertime I'd take a small paintbrush and paint sunblock on my part so that I wouldn't have a line of sunburn on my scalp.  No lie.  I could've worn a hat, but who wants to wear a hat when one's head is already hot and sweaty???  ANYWAY, this bow didn't come as a pair.  Rather, it is attached to a headband like so.
I never can get the bow placed right if I wear it as a headband, so I use it as a scrunchie instead.
A little clunky, but it works. 

Oops, I included "ear baubles" in the tags but didn't show 'em!  Here's the dangles, from DecorDelightsForYou...
...and here's the studs, in my favorite apricot shade, from SunburstLaserCo.  They look white/off-white in the picture, but trust me:  they're apricot.
Anyway, Easter.  Easter is my favorite holiday, both for the religious significance and for the candy.  Peeps are some of my favorite candies, but as long as it's not licorice or jellybeans I'll cram it down my craw.  In addition to Peeps I love Cadbury eggs (both the fondant kind and the mini kind), Reeses anything, and malted milk balls in moderation.  Oh, and Milk Duds.  I love Milk Duds ANYTIME, but they tend to melt and clump together during summer so I don't eat them then.  And the decorations!  Bunny rabbits, chicks, and lambs everywhere, in soft pastels that are perfect for the blooming spring.  Here's my bunny; my uncle's significant other gave her to me.  She decorates the foyer at the library where I work.
She doesn't have a name.  I need to think one up for her.

Likely tomorrow will be another Easter-themed bow.  Wal-Mart had a sale last year on these, so I've got several.

Love and marshmallows,

Let freedom ring

Image
Yet another patriotic one.  This one came from Etsy, but I don't know what shop it was. This one is one of three that my mother got for me in one fell swoop.  The others are the jellybean bow from June 3rd and the flag bow from June 14th . Like them, this bow is a big one. Let freedom ring, baby!  I remember sharing my memories of Flag Day, but I don't remember sharing memories of the Fourth of July...at least, not here.  Oh, I've got so many!  Halloween is my mother's favorite holiday, and Independence Day was my dad's for reasons unknown.  May have had something to do with his love for history.  But anywho, about April Daddy would start setting aside a little money here and there for fireworks, and as July 4th rolled around he'd buy fireworks with that money.  A few here, a few there, a whole sh!tload at Reeve's Boomland in Charleston...oh, Boomland.  I liked going there, but as I grew older I began to realize that it was kinda a dangerous...

Pac-Man fever

For the record, I suck at Pac-Man.  I've only played it a handful of times, but each time I couldn't get past the first level.  I guess it's one of those games that requires practice and patience...and patience is NOT one of my virtues!  Regardless, I do like Pac-Man.  Compared to the dumb video games we have today Pac-Man's simple innocence is...well, it's pretty nice.  Unfortunately I'm about to make myself look like a complete hypocrite, because my Pac-Man is munching more than just little white pellets! Phooey on pellets and fruit and ghosts, Pac-Man's hitting the hard stuff!  The Etsy carrier, DollfaceDesignss , goes heavy on the horror, so I guess Pill-Popper Pac-Man is kinda tame compared to Psycho .  Whatevs, I like my accessories a little (or a lot) on the offbeat side, so I'm happy.  This is a mighty nice bow, by the way.  Some of my bows pull my hair like mad, but this one slid right in. In addition to the goofy hair bow I've gone ...

International Sloth Day

Y'all know what that means! I think I've worn and shown this bow before (shop name is CherylsBowtasticBows ), but it's one of my favorites because SLOTHS, that's why!  I don't think I ever showed y'all my earrings, though. Those also came from Etsy (shop name is JMDesignsbyUS ), and they're made of wood.  JMDesigns is located in Sedalia, so usually when I order from them I get my item(s) toot sweet.  I never have been to Sedalia, by the way.  They seem to be a tornado magnet, having been hit in 1952, 1973, 1977, and 1980, so maybe I'd best NOT go.  The tornado in 1952 hit the Missouri State Fair, by the way.  Normally it's a bad thing for a tornado to hit during the night, but in that case it was a very good thing, as the fairgrounds were fairly empty.  Indeed, the only fatality in the 1952 storm was in a mobile home, not on the fairgrounds.  But enuff of that; this is supposed to be about sloths, not tornadoes!  If you've read my doll blog t...
