I admit to an unholy love for all things American Girl. If we had the money, Em would be lousy with them, as would I.

And all the clothes and furniture.

It's cause I never had dolls when I was little, except my CPK's. My sister got all of the awesome dolls.

I am SWAMPED today, so nsm with the slow.

I love all the American Girl paraphenelia, too. Actually, it's just like Barbie -- I was never that interested in the dolls themselves, but I REALLY wanted that Dream House. (Note: Barbie was verboten in my house.)

I don't know that I've ever had The Flu - I get colds sometimes, but I've never had something that knocked me on my ass for 2 weeks. I've been getting the shots every year since 2004, though.

I just have to add that the one time I got sick that knocked me on my ass for two weeks (literally), the doctor told me it wasn't The Flu anyway, because (IIRC) my fever wasn't high enough, or something. This is why I don't bother with the flu shot now.

I have never had a flu shot, but I did have the flu one year. It's distinctive because not only did I have a four-pack-a-day cough for the next month, the initial illness was the kind where you end up sleeping on the floor because you're not smart enough to find your bed. In your own bedroom.

Of course, I'm also theoretically the person who had whooping cough a year ago, or anyway I had a cough, and it was loudly persistent, and the doctor theorized as much but strangely nobody around me came down with similar symptoms.

...I think that somebody on this planet is smoking four packs a day with impunity, and I am getting that person's symptoms.

I love the AG paraphernalia. It's so good. Plus - I've always loved the historical stuff so all the 18th and 19th century AG paraphernalia -- totally want.

(Note: Barbie was verboten in my house.)

hah! Mine too! I had Sunshine Family.

And lots of other dolls, mostly cheap ones I bought with my own money at the 5 & Dime.

But I played with Barbies at my best friend's house.

I would have LOVED the American Dolls when I was a kid. I was super into olden days! And I would not have been able to have them because of the spendiness.

Maybe the fact that I get an incredibly high grade fever every 3-4 years is a sign that I am an alien with a slow molt.

Be careful. That takes me right into the land of scary Smallville fic.

Slowest day ever. Y/N?

Put me in the Y times @@ camp.

Megan, you should come down here for brunch with JZ and let us show you 280 to 92 to Half Moon Bay and the beaches near by. I showed it to Cass and AmyLiz this weekend. SO PRETTY.

I actually didn't really have any dolls, except one named Chocolate Milk (yeah, I don't know). Mostly I had stuffed animals. But my godsister had some Barbie condo thing, which was the BOMB. It had inflatable poolside furniture!
