Xmas beetle

Too late to change day 9

Australian Xmas beetle. A pale gold, with touches of glistening green in the right light. 

Preparing for take off

Unfortunately he then landed in my hair

On the Ninth Day of Stressed Much.

On the ninth day of Stressed Much I didn't realise how hard these posts would be, glad I didn't try to stick with perfect numbering. 

Cute pet Santa hat and scarf

Three lengths of timber

Random ground shot taking

Another car related thriller

Sneak peek at Xmas pressies

On the Eighth day of Stressed Much.

On the eighth day of Stressed Much

Some things arrived for me (yay). 

Awesome gifting boxes

Green organza baggies

Gold edged naming taggies

Presents sorted by twins

Wow thanks girls. 

Two brown faced long eared goaties. 

Surprise for Peggy's Natasha. 

List is getting shorter. 

And a spotted deer with a cup of tea. 

On the Seventh Day of Stressed Much.

On the seventh day of Stressed Much I went forth to see

What great assortment of Our Generation  Kmarts stock would be. 

It was like this at both stores I went to. 

No shelf label for a Retro Diner though, but as monte Python says, it will hopefully tell the ordering person This is popular enough to Get More Stuff. 

Still need 7 boxes with hinges. 

How dare you go to work all day, come home late and make us wait for dinner. 

New Stephen King. 

The mailman came for me. 

3 rolls of wrapping paper. 

A mini Cinderella. 

And something left over from Halloween. 

But wait there's more.

Go back to LissieandLilly.blogspot.com.au

She has been given a list of things expected for Lea Clark (American girl of the year 2016), and it includes a rainforest house, a 3 toed sloth and a cat called margay. 

See also the comments - golden Freddy has added that a margay is an actual breed of forest cat - so I googled it. 

Very exciting. 

I'd love to say I had one, but this is a Bengal, the evil Leopald Benjamin Halford Satay Treebeard Tyrant Beasty Spotty Blob the First. Just not spotty enough, nor from the right place. 

On the Sixth day of Stressed Much.

On the sixth day of Stressed Much a plotting came to be

Back to work tomorrow (yuck) but it is across the road from a massive shopping centre that I haven't been in for 4 weeks. I need a clone. 

Twins still sorting stashes. 

We're getting there. 

It was a mess. 

(Hmm a clone hey)

Five gold like things

(Or is that tarnish?)

Don't even go there. 

Three exciting things about Lea. 

Two sweethearts with bag tags

Hey no it's lego. 

Ah okay. 

And a black cockie up a gum tree. 

2016 American Girl of the Year.

LissieandLilly.blogspot.com.au is a blog I follow, Lilly maiden has been giving us sneak peeks of leaks of the 2016 girl of the year, and for those who came in late like me (because we're stuck in deepest darkest jungle in a purple jumpsuit), there's pics out of the Lea 18 inch doll. 

(Sorry I still don't know how to create a proper link blogging by phone). 

(Also I'm not really in a jungle, I just need to mow the lawn). 

I think she is very pretty. 

The josefina face mold is my favorite. 

I'm glad there is no weird fringe (bangs). 

I like a side part, love the soft wave to her hair. 

I love the sun kissed tone of her skin. 

Her clothes are a little bright, but they might grow on me, love the shoes. 

So if all goes well I think I'd like her to come visit. 

Bridget and Bryndl have written the letter to santa, I need to tell Trinity, I don't mind twins, but I still would like a couple of Truly Me girls and if the rumors are true there's a new Beforever girl due out after tax time.
