Today was a day in which many important things were done
To begin with… This morning a doll arrived that I’d ordered in April. I had “preordered” her as these dolls had a tendency to sell out somewhat quickly and I had to wait a rather long time before I got her. But it’s been worth the wait. Clarissa is gorgeous and 22 inches tall. She is one of my tallest dolls. I have yet to sew her an outfit as I was very busy completing other things.
The next big event was going to the bank. After months(perhaps years) of painstaking effort and not spending money my bank balance had finally gone above 1,000. So today I invested in a CD!!! CD being certificate of deposit. I’m quite excited about this as it will be the first time I will have every earned interest on my money. So I’m pleased:) I’m going to try to get another CD at some point in the future. That was a REALLY big event. My very first CD!!!
So what was the third event? To give a little bit of back story… Saturday morning we went to Sam’s Club and there at purchased season one of Hazel, a really really good show. 35 half hour episodes. Being the entertainment committe who previews everything before any one else can watch them I, as soon as I got home, started previewing those 35 episodes. I didn’t finish until Monday right before lunch.
However, that doesn’t have a whole lot to do with the third event of the day. You see, Sunday night my Dad bought Season 1 and Season 3(sold out of season 2) of Hogan’s Heroes. Thirty episodes a season makes a grand total of sixty episodes and today, a couple of hours ago, after starting watching those episodes Monday afternoon, I just finished them… That is, on average, over eight hours of watching movies per day. So I now know that there is something I can do for eight hours a day now… Generally I don’t do too much of the same thing for so long(except sleeping). However I am currently rather tired as last night I was getting in some of that time after midnight. So I’ve now watched a lot of Hogan’s Heroes. And Hazel. And in summary… I’ve been busy.
Now it’s time to make Clarissa a new outfit! Unfortunately for her though, I’m really tired. So she may have to wait. But I might still make her a new dress… Anyway, my eyes are hurting me. Have a nice day!
