ryanreactsThat new tension rod over-toilet shelf really has made me want to refresh my bathroom (which is already great, just a bit basic) so that it really shines, including:
* shower curtain with pockets which I will stuff with herbs, squishy toys, potions, maybe some nice rocks, etc
* curtain door (obviously my bathroom does have a door, but it doesn't like being moved, so I try not to touch it) --- hey, another tension rod!
* several small wall-mounted shelves to display mermaids, crabs, guppies, eels, sea witches, various fishies, etc.
* my bathroom did come with one rack for bath towels. I have never used it for this purpose, but it only occurred to me earlier today that I could use it to display at least one really pretty towel that is purely decorative!
My next room update will be hanging my Buffy poster, which arrived (all the way from China) yesterday. I just have to decide where I want it to go. Currently torn between at least three potential spots.
Okay, I just checked Amazon and they say two pakidges (containing eight items) are available for pickup. Allegedly they have been available since 12:28. That would have been nice to know before now, since it's currently 5:13 and the post office closes at 4:00.
But still, the point is that all of these arrivals are exciting, especially since I am somewhat embarrassed about how many incomings will be delivered soon. I'm still not allowed to buy anything on eBay until they deliver every last pakidge, which will probably take another week or so.
I did order four more things from Walmart earlier today, but all of them qualified for a bit of Walmart Cash, and none of them qualified as Stuff I Don't Need, so it's all okey dokey.
Oh!
Earlier today eBay emailed me about a lot of Barbie Happy Meal toys. This was one of those really frustrating lots from a seller who takes great care to present multiple photos which prove which numbers they have available . . . but zero photos from the other side, which would actually give a clue what the toy looks like.
I was intrigued by Bowling Party Stacie, so I did some exploring
and discovered Wee 3 Friends! Now, apart from some nostalgic memories of some specific dolls from childhood, I am not as much a fan of Stacie as I am of Skipper or their big sister. So that may explain how I had never heard of these sets until today, but my mind is kind of blown by the fact that I had NEVER heard of these until today!
Seriously, they are so cute. Kind of pricey, as I expect boxed vintage dolls to be --- but all of these sets come with THREE dolls, multiple accessories, and three puppies, so if I was allowed to make an impulse purchase right now, that price would feel worth it.
As of this writing I have not researched them very thoroughly, just browsed eBay a bit, so it's very possible that I have not seen every single set that exists --- but so far I think my favorite is the rain set. If slash when I do give myself permission to buy these, I will start with that set.

Oh, and I did not remember what she looks like, but I have seen Bowling Party Stacie before! She's from the nineties. So I never had this one, but I definitely remember a few Stacie and friends dolls from this era.
Again, if I was allowed to spend money today, I just might purchase Bowling Party Stacie, Janet, and Whitney. All three are adorable. Good job, Mattel.
Another nineties thing I might spend money on right now is Hunchback of Notre Dame action figures or dolls.
