The Pediatrician's Office is Packed! (Photostory)

 It's flu season in Morristown, and that means lots of shots, especially for the kids. This explains the overcrowded waiting room at the pediatrician's office.

The receptionist is busy sorting patient files.  Let's take a look to see who's here.

There's Mia (from Chang Realty) and her daughter, Isobel.

Sylvia is there with both her daughters.

Sophia and...

Jessica, who is playing a game on her laptop.

There's Kate and her son, William (named after our fellow blogger, William of 1/6th Point of view).  Seemed only fitting that mom be named Kate.  She has stopped working on her Ipad to answer a question from William.  The prop used as an Ipad is from the Bieber Backstage Playset.

Jaya is trying to keep her daughter, Kimie (both newly named), occupied.

Her older daughter, Hannah is content listening to her ipod.  I can't remember which accessory pack this ipod is from, but there is one in the LIV slumber party accessory pack.  I cut the cord to make it shorter.

Kendra has just finished with her weekly doctor's visit.  Everything seems to be progressing fine with the baby.

"So I guess we need to schedule your next appointment."  (receptionist)

"Yes.  I wish I didn't have to come every week."  (Kendra)

"You know they just want to make sure everything is okay with the baby."  (receptionist)

"Mom, I got the high score!  I beat Dad's score.  I've been trying forever!"  (Jessica)

"I'm sure he is going to be excited to hear that."  (Sylvia)

As Kendra is leaving the office, Michelle, one of the nurse's in the office, is entering with her two kids.

"Hello Kendra.  Nice to see you."  (Michelle)

"Hi.  I was wondering where you were, today."  (Kendra)

"I took the day off, so I could get some things done with the kids, including their doctor's appointment."  (Michelle)

"Awww, I didn't know you had a little one, too.  I remember you talking about your two year old."  (Kendra)

"Well Mikayla is at that age where she is into everything.  So I guess I do mention her more.  I always thought they were exaggerating about the terrible two's, but I was so wrong."  (Michelle)

"Great.  Something else for me to look forward to."  (Kendra, sarcastically)

"And she looks so innocent.  Hello sweetie."  (Kendra)

"She is sweet, most of the time.  But when she's not, watch out."  (Michelle)

Remember Sasha?  Well she's the other nurse in the office.

"Don't you just love flu season?"  (receptionist)

"Keeps us busy.  That's for sure."  (Sasha)

"You made it." (receptionist)

"Yes, finally.  I wanted to get here a little earlier, but you see that didn't happen."  (Michelle)

"Hello, Mikayla.  Look at the pretty doll.  Can I see your dolly?"

"Mrs. Redmond, we are ready for you." 

"Great. I'm be right there."  (Sylvia)

"Jessica, let's go.  Turn off the computer." (Sylvia)

"But mom, I can't stop now.  I'm close to beating my score." (Jessica)

"You will have to play later.  Let's go."  (Sylvia)

Mikayla has made her way over to show off her dolly.

"What's up with this waiting room?  Is it my imagination, or are we overbooked?"  (Michelle)

"Well Dr. Ken had an emergency this morning, and I had to push his patients back an hour.  So we have a little bit of an overlap."  (receptionist)

"I'm glad it wasn't Dr. Pai that had the delay.  I don't want to be here all day."  (Michelle)

As you can see, it's a tad bit busy in the doctor's office.  Stay tuned for the next episode, where we will venture into the exam room.  Did I tell you my primary doctor's name is Dr. Ken.  Quite appropriate, I must say.

The Husbands Have Arrived!

A few of my woman have been waiting for their men to come to town.  They are finally here.  I am only showing twoof them.  My Barbie Basic 2.0 #4, has had her husband the longest, but she hasn't let me take his picture yet.

First up is Jay Chou.  Good lawd.  I think I am catching Ebony fever over here.  He doesn't have his body yet.  He quickly borrowed a body, so he could quickly hug his wife, Barbie Basic 3.0 #5.  They have two girls.  The Only Heart Asian sisters.  Mom and Dad were too busy saying hello, so I couldn't bring the kids in.

Here he is solo, before his wife came charging in an grabbed him.  I can't blame her.  He is a Headplay sculpt from Ebay.

Next up is Michael Jordan.  He is Adele's husband.  He is actually going to surprise Adele.  She thinks he is still in Chicago.  She doesn't know the whole time she was talking to him on the phone earlier, he was at her sister's house picking up Sydney.  As you can see they are lurking in the halls at the church.  Adele has yet to see them.

He bought Sydney the cute bunny (Only hearts mini toy) for Easter.  Stay tuned to see what Adele's reaction will be.  I sure hope it's a good one.  She didn't seem to be too thrilled with the conversations she and Michael were having on the phone.  This is the newest Michael Jordan Headplay sculpt.  I couldn't reveal that he was on the way until I had him in hand.  The last time I told of something before I hit the buy button, it was gone before I could get to it.  So I have learned to wait.  

My Asian Community Just Got Bigger

My Asian community just grew thanks for a recent dollypusher friend.  First of all, this is the name she used for herself.  I just happened to agree with her.  What is a dollypusher, you ask?  It's very similar to a drug dealer. LOL!  It is a person who recognizes that you are addicted to dolls and sets out to offer you dolls for sale, knowing that with the right deal, you will crumble in a heap and holler 'uncle'. She initially offered me two different dolls, that I wasn't interested in buying.  The second doll was a Janay doll, very similar to my Antoinette doll.  I said no, to both dolls.  She mentioned that she would be sending me a little package of goodies for Morristown.  Yippee.  So like any good doll addict, I asked her if she had anything else for sale.  She mentioned a Kyori doll that I thought was a decent price, but with the Canadian shipping, and the fact that she is not on my list, I was okay saying no.  Not to mention, most of my Asian dolls are on smaller bodies.  An Asian doll on an FR body just wasn't what I needed.  She replied that she had been rebodied on a DG body.  Hmmm.  That's interesting.  After seeing pictures, I told her to give me a few days to think about it.  So I went to ebay to check to see how good the price really was.  Turns out the price was really good.  But I still thought of all the things on the list that I could put that money to.  Let's face it, we weren't talking about a $20 doll.    

This is my Asian community.  It is growing by leaps and bounds.

Here is Chang (dang he fine) with his younger sister to the right, his daughter to the left, and his wife Sunni in front.

This is dad to four of the ladies. I haven't named him yet.  He owns most of the Asian cuisine restaurants in Morristown.

This is one of his daughters, with her husband, who happens to be Chang's younger brother.  They are pictured with their daughter.

This is daughter #2, with her two daughters.  She probably has a husband, but he's not here yet.

Daughter #3 is the youngest of the four.

This is Tori and her mom, our town pediatrician.  That Tori doll is gorgeous! This picture doesn't do her justice.

This is the pediatrician's sister, with her daughter and granddaughter.

And here is Kyori!  She is daughter #4.  She is an actress.  So back to the story.  After checking out the price and thinking about it, I decided to buy the Kyori doll.  But every time I got ready to send the email that said I would buy her, I would stop in my tracks.  As you can see, I really didn't NEED another Asian doll.  My community had been progressing quite nicely and within my budget.  The dollypusher must have been able to sense my dilemma.  All of a sudden I get an email that says, if you buy Kyori, I will throw in Yue Sai Wawa, a Japanese doll for free, and I think I can find her an articulated body.  It was a wrap after that!  What do we dolly addicts like to hear?  Free and articulated.  Heck, we all know she could have probably just thrown in an articulated body without a head, and gotten me to say yes.

I am very happy that my dollypusher enticed me, because this doll is gorgeous!  

Here is Yue Sai Wawa.  This isn't the best picture of her, but my what a nice doll she is!  She has a nice sweet young look to her.  She will be the younger daughter to the pediatrician's sister.

And as promised, my dollypusher did have a wonderful care package for the ladies in Morristown, which wasn't dependent upon the Kyori purchase at all.  I am only sharing a few items.  There were some clothes, shoes, other accessories, and a few more purses that didn't make either picture.  When I saw the purses, a let out a squeal of delight.  I love dolly handbags and these will look nice in Ni'Chalet's.  Racquel may have to expand her shop soon.

Here are a few more purses and a cute Asian chest.

Oh goodness, we have an intruder....

Dominique came to get the leopard handbag.  She has been lurking around my sewing machine trying to see if I have started her wardrobe yet.  Now that she has claimed the handbag, I know she is not going to let me rest until I make her some clothes.

Special thanks to Megan for being such a great dollypusher.  I love both dolls and all the great items you sent for the ladies!  Much love to you.

Dolly Overload! More Purchases

 I have a list.  My readers know there is a list.  Being on the list means that the purchases are properly budgeted in. I am very good at sticking to the list.   I am also very good at not buying dolls that don't have a purpose in Morristown.  That is not to say that occassionally I do not buy things that I didn't know to put on the list, but that is rare.  Sometimes buying too many things on the list at one time can get overwhelming.  Such is the case with my purchases yesterday. 

This month was "Buy 3.0 Barbie Basic dolls month".  It was already planned.  As soon as I read Frannie's post that they were in the local stores, I went out to see what I could find.  Of the six dolls, I had five on the list to buy and both accessory packs.  At the two stores I went to, there were a limited number of dolls and both accessory packs were there. Neither store had the African American doll, which worked out perfectly for me because I needed to move some purchases to next month.  I desperately needed the Asian doll and the auburn haired doll.  The doll in the purple swimsuit was on my list, but she was iffy, until I saw her in person.  They also had the one in the pink bathing suit, but after seeing her in person, she fell off the list.  So now I only have the African American one left to buy and the two accessory packs.

This doll was a pleasant surprise. This picture doesn't do her justice.

I fell in love with this doll from the beginning and knew she would be coming to Morristown.  We all know I was a red head in my former life.  She has that 007 Bond girl feel to me.  Those Bond girls (Halle is one of them) are all stunning to me.

This is also a doll I knew would be joining the crew.  I look for older looking dolls when I am putting families together.

My Asian Only Heart sisters have patiently been waiting a couple months now for me to find them suitable parents.  They now at least have a mom....

...and a granddad, who arrived in the mail yesterday.  I am glad he was here waiting.  Talk about perfect timing.  I was on the hunt for a perfect Asian type older gentleman who would own a number of Asian restaurants that keep popping up in Morristown.  He is perfect for the role.

I'm not sure if she is his daughter or his daughter-in-law, but those are definitely his grandkids. So that now makes seven grandparents that live here.


If you saw my post from earlier this morning, you also know that I bought two So In Style dolls yesterday, which rang up at $11.99.

After I paired Ian with Raven, I felt this guy would make a nice date for Raven's friend, who also works at the salon. (Raven and her girlfriend are both college students).  He and Ian will become pals.  He will be rebodied on the extra articulated Darren body I have.

I bought a Stardoll gift card for my on-line obsession....

...and it came with all of these goodies. LOL!

I found these two Justin Bieber outfits on clearance for $5.  Those pants will come in handy for the teenagers that are forming.

This was NOT on the list, but if I knew it existed, it would have been on the list.  Isn't it adorable?  Did you guys know that I was a British fanatic?  I even went out and bought a coffee press so I could drink tea and coffee like the British.  Another one of those inexplicable things I don't try to explain.  Sort of like this whole dolly thing. 

So say it with me, "dolly overload".  Can you imagine if I didn't have a list?
