10:23 am - Quick Update (and apologies for being a poor friend!)
|
I'm so sorry not to have been reading and commenting for a few months - I've had a few issues lately, some of them health-related. *^^*
After a long bout of not feeling well this winter and spring, I got a check-up to find out I had pneumonia - I didn't suspect because I wasn't running a fever. After treating the pneumonia, I found out why - my metabolism is off. Way off. My "normal" temp is hovering been 94 and 95 degrees.
A blood test revealed near normal thyroid levels, so my doctor speculated that either my body is not taking up thyroid (possibly due to stress) or that "normal" levels are low, for me.
He gave me a small dose of thyroid medication and I instantly felt better. More, the strange rash I've had since moving has begun to clear up and a legion of aches and pains has nearly vanished. I have some of my (usually boundless) energy back again. I'd say I'm about 80% back. (Normal temp is more usually around 97 degrees now.) I'm going to read up and see if there's something I can do to get closer to 100% - hopefully something natural.
I've also been working on trying to sell my house. My son and his gf have moved on for better work opportunities and to be close to friends, and this place is just too big. (Plus, honestly, I'm just not a small town mountain girl. I haven't been happy since the move here.)
Cleaning and maintaining the house for showings is a gignormous job - it's a huge house on nearly 2 and a half acres of lawn and landscaping - with a big freaking pool - and with my husband very disabled, it's mainly me and my daughter keeping the place up - and my daughter's a full time student, so already has a heavy workload.
Speaking of my daughter, she won Grand Prize in a Japanese Speech contest for universities in Tennessee and Kentucky, and the prize was a trip to Japan! She hopes to go in a few weeks. There were quite a few entrants (70, I think?), all good and some extremely good, so of course we are incredibly proud of her! She was asked to give her speech a week later to the Japanese/American Society in Nashville, before the Japanese Console. (He was actually one of the judges of the contest.) She did a fantastic job again and received lots of praise and a couple of job offers! Of course, she's continuing in school, for now.
You can still vote for her modeling career here too:

We have an open house today (of course it's raining, so probably no-one will come. :( ) After this week, I hope to have more time and energy to spend with friends. Thanks for staying friends with me. *^^*

8:06 am - Welcome to Resinality!
|
Sorry not have been commenting these past few days. I've been away from my computer (and won't be back to it until Friday)and all this is very tricky on a cell phone! *^^*
But I'd like to welcome everyone to visit a new 18+ portal, forum and Wiki for Asian Ball Joint Dolls and their friends:
I hope to see you there!

9:40 pm - Khalida arrives...
|
Her wig is just slightly the wrong color and didn't look good on her, so I switched it with Rhunei's for now.
She looks sort of like Tan Shall to me. ^^; Not exactly the face I envisioned for Jiana, so she can be another character until I change her face-up. *^^*

11:17 pm - Khali's story...
|
Rhunei:
We were almost free of the Southern wastes when the assassins we were fleeing found us - and threatened the family.
Hurt, helpless, I did something I never knew I could do ... I killed one of them with little more than a thought.
My ten year old daughter, Khali, did the same - with far less effort than me.

I wanted to get a decent picture of Eolin (Sunlight Tenshi no Sato K. Mayura One Off - thank you, Rachel!) before I made him a little more like *my* Eolin (blonde, with green eyes.)

5:40 pm - Sorry to photo spam... ^^;;;
|
Took some pictures of my still unnamed Dollshe boys. Actually thinking about selling them...they're beautiful, but not really fitting into the family.
And one of Sage:
I can see Isao in his face sometimes. (Which isn't a bad thing.) Maybe there's more to the Tokyo Boy's story than they let on...?

First pictures of Reisner. He's a gorgeous, gorgeous boy. I have absolutely no idea who he could be.
I'm really not sure he fits into the family at all...

11:50 am - I want to thank the Academy....
|
Rhunei (as Aladdin) brought home the Valico's Choice Award at the New York Dolpa Fairy Tale Customization Contest!
This is really an honor - not only because it was Valico, but because there was so many awesome entries!
Wanna see how he won...? *^_^*

6:38 pm - More picspam (and some thoughts about Yukinojo)
|
Sage, my problem child, relaxing by the fire:
I think Yukinojo is really gorgeous in person, but I don't particularly like the way his face photographs. That heavy brow-ridge and those deep set eyes surrounded by dark circles... hmmm.
I wonder whether to sand his head rather extensively, find a non-Volks head, or wait to see if Volks comes out with an SD16 boy I like more...? Poor guy.
Den, my other problem child:
Actually, I have no problem with Den at all, although finding wigs to fit his tiny head can be challenging.
Volks SD wigs are just too big. Some Volks DD wigs fit fine, though. Now, they just need to make one perfect for him. *^^*
