How stupid do you think I am? American Girls rock!

By Joy A. Kennelly

Just had to share. Some people surprise me with their requests. Oh well!

In any case, another fun day. Hit American Girl up at The Grove with a friend and her daughter and her little friend. I had no idea this store even existed or that there were so many cute things for little girls to do, buy, eat and enjoy. I can't wait to bring my little nieces there when they come to visit. They're going to flip out!

We visited the American Girl Cafe and it was so precious --all these parents with little girls enjoying special prix fix meals and drinks. There must have been about 4 birthday parties during the course of our hour there. You have to reserve ahead of time not to wait as long as we did, but I'm glad we went.

Totally, absolutely adorable.

What especially cracked me up was the big, burly dads walking around with their daughters and wives. I told two they must love their family very much! Too funny. It's like Disneyland for little girls. If you're looking for a special little girl gift, I highly recommend shopping there.

Made me want to buy one for me! I didn't. Don't worry. Just fun to live vicariously through the little nine-year olds. I love hanging out with kids. Really helps me take my mind off things and relax.

Also bought some paint today to finally paint over my one dark canvas. Awhile back I had painted a series of large and small paintings which created the phrase "Love + Joy = Happiness." I could never find a long enough canvas to paint the word happiness and stopped after = and left the dark canvas as nothing.

No wonder my love life is black (and I'm not talking men -although I wish! LOL) I decided today to create the final happiness canvas with bright blue and white and pink. Because happiness is like living on cloud 9 right?

Singing tomorrow at Bay Cities Community Church's service in Lomita which should be interesting. Better get to bed to get up early. I hope Jim is back in the saddle preaching again! I miss his teaching!

Sounds like the soundtrack to my neighbor's lovemaking has calmed down a bit. Aaaahhhh....

Makes me wish I had someone to make sweet music with myself!:)

May you all have love in your life. Good night.
