Busy Day at the Post Office (Photostory)

It's Saturday morning and the post office is packed.

Brad is there filling out his new address card.  Apparently Sunni found him a new place to live.

"Ma'am that will be $12.95."  (Postal worker)

"Ok.  I have my card right here."  (Dominique)

"Is it still raining out there?"  (Postal worker)

"It's pouring.  It's the kind of day where you just want to curl up with a good book."  (Dominique)

"Hi.  What's your name?"  (Ciana)

(silence)

"My name is Ciana." (Ciana)

"Ciana are you being nice?"  (Leslie)

"Uh huh."  (Ciana)

"You mean, yes."  (Leslie)

"NEXT." (Postal worker)

"Okay Kimaya.  Let's go get some lunch."  (Dominique with her granddaughter)

"Can I get a money order for $135?"  (Kurt)

Kurt has the girls today.  This probably explains why the kids are out in the rain without jackets.  His wife, Samantha is home trying to get rid of a migraine.  Let's hope the kids don't catch colds.

Kurt's oldest daughter, Bethany, hasn't spoken a word to Ciana, yet.  She seems to be a little shy.

"Wait a minute, Jessica.  Mommy's almost finished with this paperwork."  (Stephanie)

"If we don't get this gift in the mail today, it will not get to your granny in time for her birthday."  (Stephanie)

Halle is the latest customer to walk through the door.

"Well hello there, handsome."  (Halle)

Joseph is loving the attention and starts smiling and giggling.

"Are you flirting, Joseph?"  (Leslie)

"I sure hope so.  It's been a long time since someone so cute has flirted with me."  (Halle)

"Please look everything over sir to make sure it's correct."  (Postal worker)

The line has grown longer and doesn't seem to be moving too quickly.

"Is is always this crowded?"  (Brad)

"I try not to come on Saturdays or after 3pm on weekdays.  There is always a line."  (Halle)

"NEXT."  (Postal worker)

"I need to get 2 books stamps."  (Leslie)

"Do you have a preference?"  (Postal worker)  

"Do you have any other good tips for a newcomer to Morristown."  (Brad)

"Oh, you just moved here?"  (Halle)

"Yes.  Just a few weeks ago."  (Brad)

"Well, welcome to Morristown.  I think you will like it here."  (Halle)

"Does that welcome come with a tour of the town?"  (Brad)

"Well it would, but I'm not sure my boyfriend would approve."  (Halle)

"Jessica, don't pull on the bow.  We want it to look pretty when Granny gets it."  (Stephanie)

"By the way, I'm Brad." 

"Pleased to meet you Brad.  I'm Halle." 

"The pleasure is all mine."  (Brad)

"NEXT." (Postal worker)

"Mommy, I got to go potty."  (Ciana)

"Oh Ciana.  There's no bathroom here.  Come on.  Let's hurry.  We are close to the restaurant."  (Leslie)

"NEXT."  (Postal worker, again)

"I think that yell is for me and I can't go until you release my hand."  (Halle)

"I'm sorry."  (Brad)

"Mommy, I can't wait!"  (Ciana)

"You are wasting time.  Turn around and start walking."  (Leslie)

Leslie always keeps a change of clothes in the car, so she's not terribly worried, but she would really like to  make it to the bathroom.

"I don't know why people think it's okay to hold up the line with idle chatter.  I sure wish they would hurry.  You are getting heavy little girl."  (Stephanie)

I'm sure the post office will be busy all day.  

In case you missed it, I posted Part 2 of the Disney articulated body review earlier this morning.

Articulation Surprise

I told myself no blogging today.  We see how well that worked.  But I just had to share this one. 

I have some wonderful "light bulb" moments when I am replying to comments or emails.  It happened again this morning.  I was conversing with mrscarissa (a blog reader), who was sharing pictures of her Kara on a DG Reese body.  She also shared Kara's two kids and mentioned that her husband was a curly haired MyScene guy.

I know that curly haired MyScene guy.  I had just brought him up from (all together now) THE BASEMENT, so that I could steal his outfit for Darius.  Hadn't quite gotten to that project yet.  As I sat there replying to mrscarissa, I was about to offer her my nude MyScene guy, but then it dawned on me "I think he is articulated"!  I never paid attention to that because none of the MyScene girls that I have are articulated.  I never imagined the guy would be articulated.  I ran downstairs to check.  Yes, he is fully articulated in the arms and legs.  I quickly snapped a picture of him in his box, then proceeded to remove him from the box to check the neck connection.  I then looked for one of my males that could use some articulation.  There he was!  The Kurt Fashion Fever doll I bought from Ms. Leo. 

He has slightly longer arms than Ken and bigger hands.  He can fit some of the clothes, but the long sleeved shirts will have to be pushed up. Now that I think about it, some of Ken's shirts are too small for Ken.  LOL.

Did you know he has real feet?  I had no idea.  From the looks of those oversized rubber shoes, I thought they were built in, like the Bratz shoes.

The neck connection is a really good fit. The body is a tad darker but not noticeably so.  His wife is awfully happy.  He can now hug her back.

I immediately ran to the basement to recheck my other two MyScene female dolls.  No, they are not articulated.  Madison does have real feet, though.  Another Mattel mystery.  Why make him articulated and not the girls?
