The boyfriend had the day off today which doesn’t happen very often. He has been promising me that we could go to the Historic Bok Sanctuary, it’s a place with gardens, and a famous singing tower, I had found it on the internet while searching for Florida attractions. I was very excited when he said that we could go today, not that he makes all the decisions but of course I didn’t want to drive almost two hours away and go there by myself.
I enjoyed the Sanctuary, it wasn’t AMAZING or anything but it was quite beautiful and only ten dollars a person. I took a lot of pictures which was my intention in the first place. I think James and I were the youngest people there because seriously everyone else was ancient, not that I don’t dig old people or anything…I actually think some old people are the shit! I think there was three grandpas that complemented James on his purse… Well actually, they were kinda laughing at him. Damn straight I made him carry my purse I had to take the pictures!
The Tower… Edward Bok’s grave is actually in front of the golden doors.

The Dynamite Girls are new collector dolls by Jason Wu. When I first saw the picture of the dolls I thought; “they’re so pretty and stylish, and remind me of the 1960′s Barbies.” The three dolls include golden blonde Jett, ash blonde Aria, and red head Gavin. They’re also releasing a fourth doll this spring; dark haired Rufus Blue. A few things I like about them is they have rooted eyelashes and are 12″ tall so they can probably fit in Barbie clothes, they’re also a bargain at $40 dollars a pop! I really, really want to get Aria, I love her pigtails and tan skin. I also wouldn’t mind getting Rufus Blue.
I’m going to have to wait a awhile before I can order any of the dolls, due to me being sick I haven’t been able to work. I didn’t go to work all last week and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go anytime soon. I’m sooo exhausted, I just wanna sleep. I don’t even feel like doing usual chores around the house, I did want to go for a drive and see if I could find some spots to take pictures but I don’t even feel like doing that.
I’m also a little depressed, I’m sick of living in Florida. We’re planning on moving to Illinois in October when our lease is up, so hopefully that happens. I’m sick of the people down here, they’re just different. When I’m at the store and a person looks at me and I smile back at them they don’t even smile back. Or when I hold a door open for someone I rarely get a “thank you.” I’m usually very fond of old people, and down here it just seems like their different, they give me dirty looks! In Michigan when I used to work at Walgreen, older people used to love talking to me. I even used to take an 83 year old women to garage sales with me! I’m tired of being so far away from all of my family, and the friends I’ve had for years. My sister is having another baby in April and I won’t even be around for when she has it. The last grandma I have living isn’t doing so well and I would like to see her more before she passes. I can’t wait to leave this place, it’s so overrated! Sure, the weather is nice and a lot of it is beautiful but that’s just not enough anymore.

Yesterday, James and I took a trip down to the Spong Docks in Tarpon Springs. There is a lot of Greek restaurants and I was craving a Gyro. I ended up trying some other Greek cuisines that I can’t pronounce, most of it tasted like Lasagna. I usually go to all the little shops, but James was tired so I just ran around and took a few pictures. It was good to finally get out of the apartment, I hadn’t went anywhere for the whole past week. I haven’t been feeling like my usual self.
I shipped out my first Blythe doll today, I sold her. :sad: It’s okay though because I bought a Emerald Witch with the money I made. Lately I’ve been losing interest in Takara Blythes and have been gaining it in vintage Dolls. I know I’ll never buy a vintage Blythe at $1,000 dollars a pop, F that! Once my Emerald Witch arrives in the mail I’ll have to cross her off my wishlist and take a few pictures of her. I’m so excited, I’ve been wanting an Emerald for awhile.
