I'm a Jerk

So the Year of Luxury keeps on churning. I'm not working because the US won't give a mom a proper maternity leave. So we have little income now. That hasn't stopped me spending our savings and just hoping rent money would work itself out. That's what you have to do in the Year of Luxury.

So anyway, our tax return came through way early. I went to Walmart, got some little do-dads like mini frames and fabric glue. But still, with money in the bank, I just itched for a new doll. I decided it was time for my first Momoko, but didn't mention it to my husband. Here he is spending money on getting new tires and bills and stuff. I'm so irresponsible.

I go to our online bank and see there is some money that has been spent on Paypal. Grr, has he purchased more damn comic books? How dare he when I am basically out of work! The nerve! So I go into our ebay account to investigate.

And you know what you guys? He secretly bought me a Poppy Parker! And for a bargain! I feel so veklempt. I'm a jerk. I ruined this awesome surprise! He loves giving surprises! (I hate them) Now I know what I should not and I feel really bad.

Sort of torn about acting surprised or not...Makes me think about the openness of our relationship. How can you surprise a spouse when you share everything?

Good thing he doesn't read the blog much!

Anyway you guys, Coney Island Poppy! She's nude, but that little outfit isn't much anyway. I know I wanted to repaint a Poppy to look like my daughter, but um, maybe another doll, another time...

    You're not a jerk..I've been known to insert foot in mouth from time to time. I apologize to my hunny even for things I thought and I tell him and we laugh. I say you mention it casually and have a laugh over it :O)(Pseudo convo below)

    Honey I was in the bank acct and saw this payment and kind of peeked..so surprise..LOL

    That is so awesome! It's great when your mate supports even our smallest pleasures. And...you're not a jerk. Just get to practicing your surprised look in the mirror while waiting for your new girl. LOL

    Thanks you guys. I ended up confessing over dinner last night. My lead-in had him convinced I was about to confess to an affair. hahah! He is really supportive. Just when I think he is seeing too much of the dolly-crackhead in me, I find he really enjoys it. He collects toys too (and magazines and records and comics and baseball cards) so he gets it.

    I was laughing when you said

    "I go to our online bank and see there is some money that has been spent on Paypal. Grr, has he purchased more damn comic books? How dare he when I am basically out of work! The nerve!"

    the love you have for each other is cool!

    Thanks Ebony Nicole. I'm glad I married a toy lover!

Zee Gypsies!

I'm home today, the kids are at school (half day), so I decided to take some pictures with my little window of time. I rarely show the gypsies and one of you guys requested it, so here they are! "Hello, I am Carmen Kirpachi. Welcome to our home." "This is my husband Milosh." "Hallo."  "This is my brother, Franco. While his gaje girlfriend Josephine is in Paris, he's spending a lot more time with us." "Excuse me, I have to put some more wood in the stove so I can get dinner started." "My goat stew is Milosh's favorite but we need to get the pot hot first." "This is my living area, also known as Franco's bedroom. But we don't mind. The Romany love having family around." "Milosh says I drive like a fugitive so he doesn't let me drive very often." "But sometimes I put a glamour on him and he forgets how much he hates my driving." ...

New Goodies!

But first, some news: Projects: Still working on the studio space for Remi and Bailey. The Hubs came in and voiced what was in my head, "So where is that kid supposed to sleep? That's messed up. There's no room for him?"  The last thing I wanted in Grandville is a kid's room. I don't want this rated R world changing into something wholesome. Buuut, if there is to be a custody battle for Julian, I have to make the case, right? So on top of the studio space, I'll build a little room for the brat to use. Maybe I'll give it a fun theme or something. Space or sci-fi or something that doesn't involve sports. I'm also working on a space backdrop for Nymeria and her sister. Then I can finally introduce you. I decided to go with a sort of cheesy 60's sci fi movie thing. That's what inspired the Alurium Vaccarra anyway. So, a sort of intentionally cartoony backdrop. The last project for now is my high school. I wanted it to be a three-...

Introducing Nymeria and the Alurium Vaccarra

By
Ever have a couple of days off Facebook and though you wonder what happened to your friends over the long weekend, you can help feeling a little peaceful? That's how I feel in my week of staying off the blogs and forums and various sites. But I missed a lot! So many cool posts! It's going to take a while to dig myself out. One must wonder, did my creative spurt have something to do with not being all over the web looking at what everyone else is doing? Anyway let's get to it. So on my birthday, my three Stardolls arrived! Aside from the outfit, that Paris one was not cute. I dunno, she's too boring looking. But Iris was THRILLED that she got a new, dressed doll. Well for a few minutes anyway. Did you know that they can't bend their legs? Like they can't sit down? Terrible. Anyway, the other two were great! Inspiring. Meet Valentina. A Columbiana who restores classic cars. She was very happy with a Liv body. She might be Nadia's next girlfriend, w...
