First thing today, before I even put my glasses on, was to give Newman a bath. And that's his least favorite activity in the whole wide world. Last time, he scratched me to ribbons. So I had him firmly scruffed this time and I didn't get a scratch, not that he didn't try. He had a big ol' clot of stinky poop pressed into the fur beneath his tail--gross. Now he's not speaking to me, but he's trying to dry himself. He wouldn't let me towel him much, but it's not cold in here. Poor Mr. Truman Newman. Lil' goober. He'll stick his paws into the fish tank soon enough, or play in the bathtub. Then Missy and Peep were all worried that they were next. Lucky for them, I don't feel like it. But soon, my children, soon. Bwaaahaa-haaa-haaaaa!

I've been thinking that I'd love to get into the doll-making business somehow. I love dolls. Sometimes I feel I don't want to do anything else. Something my SIL asked last weekend was, if the dolls came with blank faces. I said, "I wish!" I don't know if I'd like to try to start something from scratch, which of course is very difficult, or if I'd be content working for someone else. I wonder if it pays at all. Probably not. Oh, I just remembered, most dolls are produced in factories in China. Hmm. Well, maybe there aren't many career options there after all.

I didn't take my meds yesterday. Evidence: my dizzy spells when I move my head too soon. Oh well, I took them today.

Sheeeeesh... sometimes I think you're living in my head, but I know there's only room for one in there - the sinuses taking up so much friggin' room. I had that same bathing experience with Malcolm Thistletoes the second go round. Why to the little buggers have to step in the stuff? Anywho, he didn't mind it so much the second go round. Now he's old enough to clean the shit off himself. In fact, I just started letting him and Josephine (whom, by the way, I call Missy) (bizarro or what?) out back. I'll be excited about this the day they forget about the litter box.

I was just thinking myself that I need to start seriously making my own dolls. I've used other folks' patterns and I've repainted a couple. Recently I've been following the progress of Mimi Kirchner (http://www.mimikirchner.com/blog/) She's doing some very interesting stuff right now having been influenced by things like the Volks "Dolfie". Dunno if you like cloth dolls as well as vinyl, but some of them are rawther kewl.

Gotta git back to work now. Cheers!
