i'd had a busy morning filled with back-to-back meetings & was thinking that i'd be working through my lunch hour as i sat back down at my desk after returning from a meeting just before midday today. the daunting thought of the volume of emails i'd probably received since i last checked my email was weighing on my mind as well, so when i actually checked my inbox & discovered a message from the courier room at the top of my emails my heart started to pound... & when i opened the email & skimmed down the page & saw in the details that the package had a hk post tracking number on it, my heart went into flight or fight mode & changed gears into full throttle & started punching into my ribs! i jumped out of my seat in flight mode & announced with excitement to my team-mates that "my doll had arrived!!". my team-mates (God love them) kindly smiled at me & asked with interest, "what doll?", & so i went into a crazy spiel & explained who & what blythe was. now as i sit calmly at my laptop, reliving these seconds, i'm sure they must've thought i had gone mad. i've actually known the people sitting around me for quite sometime (some of them up to 5 years). however, i've only recently joined my current team, having recently started a new roles... i suspect that they think i'm crazy & probably even wonder how i even got the job. all i can say is that, i can put on quite a good "professional" act... haha!
the real me is just a big kid... my hubby calls me a "kidult", and i am known to get excited over things that i'm passionate about. its not a thing i'm ashamed of either 'cos life ain't worth living if you can't find things in life that makes you want to run around and squeal with delight!
so, back to blythe... well of course by now she has a name (all my toys do!). now that she is home she's not just blythe anymore, she's araelia sakura. this was the name of my avatar in the virtual world of online gaming (i don't game anymore) & it just seemed fitting for her to assume this name. i took some photos of her arrival today using my trusty iPhone4.
it was cool that she came in a "brown paper package, tied up with string... "
(does that remind you of a certain song?)
box details & first photo as a free woman!!
a few polaroids... something all fun loving gals from the 70's would have

Nice to meet you Araelia Sakura :) Should I be worried if I see her tomorrow night / on Sunday? haha
hey shadow,
thx for always reading my late night ramblings! the polaroid is an iphone app.... i love the effect!
i would bring her if i thought the other westies would still take me seriously after knowing that i have a doll! somehow, i just don't think they would "get me" like the way you do! :)
