- Dream about dolls
- Stay up late obsessing about how I am going to get my latest grail
- Stay up late worrying about how I am going to pay for said grail
- Stay up late worrying how I am going to explain my doll budget to my adoring husband
- Run out of room in my doll cabinets
- Buy special cabinets for the dolls
- Spend X amount of time online per day, doing research on dolls, where X is an embarrassingly large number
- Spend the evening redressing my dolls, and actually look forward to the evening redressing my dolls
- Write a book about dolls
- Write a blog about dolls
What about you? Have you started doing anything that surprised you? I wouldn't call myself a hoarder, per se, though perhaps some of my relatives might disagree. And my dolls actually do rotate through my collection--they move on to new homes occasionally, much to the chagrin of some other doll-collecting friends of mine.
11. Look at a human sized dress and think it would look great on my doll^_~

12. Juggled bills to make sure I could get my dolls.
ReplyDelete13. Paid my doll purchases off in full before paying any bills.
14. Lost what was left of my mind with dolls by contemplating presents for them.
15. Had more fun interacting with dolls than with most people - oh, wait, I did that before I became a "serious" collector.
16. Lied like this to a living person - "No really, the Frankendolly process won't hurt, and you'll be able to move better once I pop your head onto this new body."
