Back to school

Oh, back to school...that was a naughty phrase when I was a little girl.  Mama, my sister, and I all had to go back and it wasn't too much fun, though I will admit that I liked shopping for school supplies (especially when Lisa Frank was big).  But normally Mama didn't want to go back (she was a teacher), my sister and I didn't want to go back, and Daddy didn't want us to go back!  The teachers have ALWAYS had to go back before the kids, and they've always had to leave a few days after us, and I never thought that was fair.  To me it wasn't officially summer until Mama got out for good.  But that's all past us now as my sister and I are out of school and Mama retired several years ago.  But with the new school year looming...well, of course y'all know what I have.  I think the Etsy shop is LittleBelleBowtique.
Mama got that for me clean back in March, when the END of school was in sight!  When it comes to clothes and accessories it's always best to plan ahead, so I won't complain.  I'll just watch the school buses and think "SUCKAS!!!" with a sadistic grin on my face.  Some of those kids are seniors, but the little ones have a long road ahead!

Despite my negative comments school was mostly a pleasant affair for me...until I got to seventh grade, that is.  The bullying began in fifth grade, but it didn't get bad until seventh grade, and it didn't stop until tenth grade when I turned the tables on the main instigators.  Ugh...I wouldn't repeat high school if you paid me, but grade school was pretty awesome.  I was a perfectionist and a crybaby, but for the most part I had fun.  My classmates and I were all working class with clothes from Wal-Mart and local mom-and-pop stores, and race and gender weren't a big deal...okay, sometimes gender was a big deal.  Girls had cooties, after all!  And boys were downright yucky, LOL!

Love,

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

Image
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...
