Superstar Barbie Shopping
Jan. 28th, 2026 08:35 am"Snowed-in" time ends this morning. I have had two work-from-home days, and yesterday was the first day I had ventured out in almost a week. Most of the roads were not even plowed. People make fun of Texans for not being able to handle driving in the snow but honestly, the local government has something to do with that, too. Anyway, I'm glad I went because my favorite boba tea shop was open, and judging by the visible tracks in the parking lot, and the lone car, I may have been her first customer for the day, in the late afternoon. I got a sea salt coffee and just soaked in the pop music and all the cute Japanese toys and accessories for sale.
Then, after grocery shopping, I got Pho Em for our take-out dinner, but it seemed by that time, a lot of other people had decided to risk it, because I had quite a long wait, with only two people working there. The owner apologized profusely, but I could not have cared less. It just felt so good to be out. I really cannot stand staying at home for days at a time.
It looks like I have a couple of packages coming to me quite soon, as soon as the mail resumes: my Loving You Barbie accessories and a Springtime Magic dress I have wanted for ages. My Loving You Barbie had not shipped yet, so I messaged the seller and asked them to ship. I get that the weather has been bad in some places, but not in the region where the Barbie was shipping from. And people's mental health has probably not been greater, either, I get that. It's been several days, though.
This morning, I got some reproduction diamond rings and earrings from a couple of different sources. I will see how they look. I'm waiting to get Loving You's replacement jewelry until I actually get the doll, since she's been so long delayed.
My favorite girl right now is Heart Family Mom. I realized this morning that I don't know which one she actually is. I thought she was the default Mom, but her eyes are narrower, and her eyelashes aren't as thick. Her fashions are peak 80s for me, so I am thinking about getting some of those, too. I'm thinking about unboxing one of my Flower Princes so that she can have a romance. I think Lancelot. Maybe I can work on that when I get home today.
