Since January, I have acquired the following people [in chronological order]. I'm talking about dolls I purchased this year, not ones that I purchased last year, but finally received this year.<\/p>\n
Mellifer [1:6 BJD], purchased in April<\/p>\n
Steampink AJ [1:6 action fig], traded for in June<\/p>\n
Nathaniel [1:3 BJD], purchased in June\/July<\/p>\n
Millie [1:6 action fig], purchased in July<\/p>\n
August [1:3 BJD], purchased in July<\/p>\n
Lura['s head] [1:3 BJD], purchased in July<\/p>\n
June and July have been very busy doll-related months for me, what with Too Many Dolls: The Exodus <\/i>and the purchase of 5 of this year's 6 new dolls. Most of the purchasing frenzy stems from having money available after Too Many Dolls: The Exodus <\/i>and therefore being able to indulge some 1:6 and 1:3 whims.<\/p>\n
I can't keep buying dolls like this, though. I don't have a) the space or b) the money. Well, technically, that's not true. In terms of a), I could always bring some to work to put on my new bookcase, <\/i>which should be coming any day now. In terms of b), I can pretty much always finagle it so I cover my necessary expenses and then whatever doll-related purchases I want.<\/p>\n
But anyway…we are ignoring technicalities! I need to watch my discretionary spending because we are saving up to move next summer. We need to pay for packing supplies, movers and\/or truck rental, first + security, pet registration fee [meow!], furniture and all those other things you don't know you need until you get to your new house and realize you don't have them. I've been socking away $$$ steadily for at least 6 months, so I have a nice chunk of change already, but I'd rather have saved too much than too little.<\/p>\n
Therefore I have made myself a resolution. I will not purchase any more 1:3 or 1:6 dolls until we move. Getting a body for Lura is fine. Trading for dolls is fine. Buying doll-related things [such as clothes + wig for Lura, 1:3 furniture and 1:6 stands] is acceptable too. Leaching from the bank account to increase the ranks, however, is not.<\/p>\n
This way I can settle down and enjoy what I have. I will also ensure that I have plenty of $$$ to cover moving costs. It will be hard, but I can do it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
