I just want to thank the people who have donated to the purchasing fund. Even the tiniest amounts are greatly appreciated. I continue to get small packages in the mail several times a week. A pair of shoes, a necklace, a pair of black sweat pants, a pig…. Shopping Sis never stops (I don’t think she sleeps). Our phone conversations, which usually start with me saying, “Please stop,” inevitably dissolve into mutual giggles over the various props that have arrived or are envisioned. Thanks to all contributors, and future contributors, for keeping the gigglefest going.

I love your photo vignettes and the commentary is hilarious.
The Paul Revere post was absolutely the funniest! We were crying tears of laughter when we realized that Perils’ Creator actually had everything she needed exactly one day after the event of Palin’s irrefudiateable stupidity on the East Coast.
There have been serendipitous purchases that have just slayed me later when they appear later in posts. Slayed as in “I fall on the floor and I laughing” (Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘Cecilia’).
Don’t know if you guys have any idea how fun it is to find a weird thing, and send it to Perils’ Creator. I may have an idea what it may be used for – but often PC finds many uses for it, and possibly undreamed of uses for it. Sometimes I don’t know what it’s for, it’s just cool or weird. PC finds a place in a post for it, or it might lurk in the background waiting for some event of the Sarah making kind.
Once I could barely talk through snickers because I was thinking about the stats Google was collecting from my searches for this blog. I think my profile with the FBI is extremely strange. You have no idea!
It was shortly before Sarah’s “bus tour” that Paul arrived in the mail. As I was updating Purchasing on what I had received that week, I said, “And some colonial dude came. Don’t know what to do with him.” Then Sarah gave us her version of history, and the bus arrived the next day. Sometimes the timing is just magical.
Yes, and now Paul Revere is my absolute favorite character. To hell with Sarah – she’s too snotty and predictable! Paul is always mixing it up with a smile on his face – joining in all the fun no matter what or where.
blam blam!! ring ring!!
And you got the horse in the midst of a box o’ Barbies, before “some colonial dude” arrived. I remember you saying something like “what to possibly do with a horse?” Leave it to Palin to give you a stage!
Way back when you posted “This is why I always need more dolls and clothes” I said uh oh, be careful what you wish for! I know, maybe our powers are stronger than we think. It’s BECAUSE we had the horse, rifle & some colonial dude that Palin flubbed her history and played right into PC’s hands.
