Heather's Arrival
After waiting since march for her arrival, Heather has finally made her appearance,much to the delight of me,and the kids.
Imagine my surprise when the mail lady knocked on our door with a parcel,and no customs fee,which made me happy.After thanking her, I brought the box into the living room much to the extreme interest of my children.Looking at the address,fromwhere the box came from,confirmed what I had been hoping for. My Angelregion Ren ,has finally arrived.

So many Dolls, so little time....
It's strange how you decide to get out of one thing,and find yourself getting wrapped up in something else.When I first got into doll collecting,I was under the mistaken assumption,that you had to keep them in their boxes to enjoy them.What was the fun in that?! I liked to play with my dolls!So when I discovered that there were so many other people who enjoyed playing with theirs a well,well to say I went berserk with ripping open those boxes,was putting it mildly.It's great therapy!Anyway, I gradually moved away from uber-glam dolls, to the more play friendly dolls that begged to have their clothes ,changed, hair brushed..in other words ..they begged to be played with!It started with Barbie, went on to the lovely Gene Marshall,then to Tyler Wentworth,and finally culminating into the BallJointed Dolls.I think it happens to everyone at some point or another;finding new focus to our collecting habits.It all starts so insideously..it takes only one,then the next thing you know, you have a whole collection.It's like potato chips, you can't have just one..:)

The Other addiction in my life,besides my family ,and dolls; is online MMORGS; the main one being Conquer Online
My dear hubby introduced me to it , a year ago ( much to his chagrin ,and regret),and I unfortunately took to it ,like a duck to water.Although,I met some of my dearest friends online there,I will admit,that I have been thoroughly addicted to the game, bordering on obsessive. Don't ask how many hours ,I spend on it ,I will readily admit ,too many (BLUSH)but lately I have been getting better,.With spring in the air,I'm getting to where I am spending more time out,with my kids,and less time on the computer.
Another game that both my hubby ,and I enjoy is Silkroad
This game was inspired by the actual Silkroad ,that runs through Asia,and into Europe;and is worth checking out.The graphics are incredible,and beautifully done,the soundtrack, is worth giving a listening to; all in all ,a very enjoyable game.
