This model is only available after dark and must be paid for in cash (preferably small, untraceable bills) ..unless you are a cop, then we don't know what you are talking about.
" West Chester Barbie"
This yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of BMW convertible or Hummer H2. Included are her own Starbucks cup, credit card and country club membership. Also available for this set are Shallow Ken and Private School Skipper. You won't be able to afford any of them.
" West Side Barbie"
This pale model comes dressed in her own Wrangler jeans two sizes too small, a NASCAR t-shirt and tweety bird tattoo on her shoulder. She has a six-pack of Bud light and a Hank Williams Jr. CD set. She can spit over 5 feet and kick mullet-haired Ken's butt when she is drunk. Purchase her pickup truck separately and get a confederate flag bumper sticker absolutely free.
" Northern Kentucky Barbie"
This tobacco-chewing, brassy-haired Barbie has a pair of her own high-heeled sandals with one broken heel from the time she chased beer-gutted Ken out of West Side Barbie's house. Her ensemble includes low-rise acid-washed jeans, fake fingernails, and a see-through halter-top. Also available with a mobile home.
" Northside Barbie"
This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair, arch-less feet, hairy armpits, no makeup and Birkenstocks , or combat boots with white socks. She prefers that you call her Willow. She does not want or need a Ken doll, but if you purchase two Northside Barbies and the optional Subaru wagon, you get a rainbow flag bumper sticker for free.
" North College Hill Barbie"
This Barbie now comes with a stroller and infant doll. Optional accessories include a GED and bus pass. Gangsta Ken and his 1979 Caddy were available, but are now very difficult to find since the addition of the infant.
" Vine Street Barbie/Ken"
This versatile doll can be easily converted from Barbie to Ken by simply adding or subtracting the multiple snap-on parts.

A Broken Heart
"I don't think I ever knew a person who didn't adore Tina; She was certainly one of my favorite people to look for, a favorite face to see... always smiling, always a joy. A decade and a half, and I rarely saw a frown on her face unless she was sad or concerned for someone else. The world is poorer for not having you ar...ound Tina Ruff. I hate the thought that I'll never have a chance to see you again." - Myke Amend
The last time I saw Tina, she stood in my living room celebrating my life turning 30. It was a pleasant evening, but the one thing that stood out that she said to me was that she would not live to see the next one. She was seven days shy.
I will miss you.

Thanksgiving
This is what my lovable dog Squeaks did to my first homemade pecan pie. It was out of the oven for all of two seconds. His poor tongue was swollen, nose a little pinker, but he seemed to enjoy it. I on the other hand wanted to cry.
Thanksgiving was nice. I had my mom at the in-laws who were all too happy to have all of their grandchildren in one place (they gained two in a matter of months.) I'm pretty thankful to have my mom and my in-laws helping out so much.
Here's his office before- our former bedroom a lilac color.
This week has been spent with my father in-law painting our stairwell from robins egg blue to a light brown stone color. I will post pictures of the final products. I'm in the process for right after Christmas painting the dining room and living room. Right now it's all gray, but I'm changing things to taupe and the decor is going more antique/steampunk with our more modern items moving to the basement family room once we are done. It's slow going.
