Two photos added

I added two photos from this past summer's travels. They're two the right and below the top photo of me. I'll probably switch the bottom two out every so often but I love the top one too much to change it-at least I won't change it for awhile. So think of that one as an avvie/userpic or something. I think it fits this blog so well. But yeay, the two below it will probably switch every so often, so I can highlight new ones (esp. once I'm traveling again). The VA one is curtsy of heritage4 and the CO one is curtesy of asg17. The top one (not sure if I mentioned it before) is curtesy of Marisol Grace Girl.

1, 2, 20, 30...

So, Missy says that 3 or 4 more dolls are joining us this year and 2-4 next year. A couple she's not sure about but knowing her they'll probably join. I'm all up for new friends living here/in Star Valley. So far the list/plan is:
Kit-May (at AGPNY)
Nicki-(hopefully someone will pick her up from MCM in July-or #14-Gabriella)
Mia-(not 100% sure but most likely joining us)-Aug./Sep.
Christmas doll 2008(only Grandlinda and her dolls know who is coming)
2009
Brooke Astrid(new #19)
Gabriella Starlight Cohen (old #14)-either from ebay or by someone picking her up from MCM
MAC Alison

That's quite a list, isn't it? Where will everyone fit? But it'll be cool to meet everyone, although I technically will only be able to meet Kit when she comes, at the moment, since I'll be traveling way before Nicki would get here.

Missy said that we're probably going to stay in SC over spring break like we normally do and that her choir is going to SC, GA, and FL on their little tour, so I'll get to have fun there, too! She said I have to be on my best *blah blah blah* behavior because some places might be slightly easy for me to get lost but she was successful with Marina on last year's choir tour.

Nothing Much Going On Here

Things are going pretty slowly here. I'm bored...so I'm writing here. Susie's nervous to talk to Mrs. Halliwell, her teacher in Star Valley and Hallie's mom and our Girl Scout troop leader, to ask her for help on her math homework. Marina, me, Missy-even Bean-told Susie not to worry and that asking for help isn't a bad thing. I hope she gets up the courage to ask.

Hmmm...I cant think of much else to write. I wrote a letter to Susie and will probably write to Jess, Peter, Lissie and maybe Kaya or Samantha or Nellie, in a bit. Plus we have to make some Valentines. We've made some for the AGPT Valentine swap; I can't wait to find out what we get from it :)

Title change

Okay, I went with Traveling Kirsten's Abode. That way you all know I'm a traveling doll but I can post even when I'm not traveling (and when I am, of course!). This blog is like a home, so Abode fits perfectly, doesn't it?

I forgot that I haven't talked about today or anything. Well, yesterday I wasn't feeling well so I lay in bed all day and slept. And looked at the American Girl magazine (only the best magazine ever) and...I whined and complained to my heart's desire. Today I'm feeling better but still got to lie in bed all day! It was fun! What else...We're doing the Coconut's Cupids on Playthings, which will be cool! I can't wait to find out what we get; we got lotsa nice stuffs from the Christmas card exchange. Um...Addy got her Summer outfit and boots from one of the Christmas secret santa things she participated in. Of course Addy can't wear it until May since she's home and Missy and I aren't but I got to model the outfit! Addy, if you read this, you'll love it!

Happy 2008!

Happy 2008! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Missy (our big person) couldn't get online much over winter break. But she-we-are back for her last semester of college so I can update more! Because, even though this is mainly supposed to be my travel blog, we all know I don't have to be Traveling to actually post here. It's my own personal space-my haven or sanctuary. I may even alter the title of this blog to reflect that it's my space so I can post as much or little as I want here, right? Right. I mean, LJ will still be the main place we all write but I'll try to write lots here! Who says I can't have two blogs? I'm sure lots of people have two blogs.

Anyway... I came back with Missy this semester since we didn't get to spend much time together right after I had gotten home from my first set of travels. Hallie (a BAB) and Rilla (a Ty Dog) are both here with me. They live in Star Valley with me and my friends, too (well we all travel back and forth between Star Valley and realitiy...).

Speaking of Star Valley, the Winter Festival went well! There was a blizzard in SV the first day of the festival so that day got cancelled but we still had fun on the 23rd. And the recital went well though we all probably messed up once or twice. The recital was sort of on the border between SV and reality, if you can belive that-Missy's cat joined in on the recital! It was fun! Hallie and Ralf were definitely the best; they're great at doing the forward rolls together at the end. And Felicity had some nice moves, too. Here are a couple of photos from the festival:

Jess and me at our booth.

On Christmas, Josefina came here and on Missy's bday, Addy came! Here's a group photo of all us 18" AGs of Missy's.


I hope everyone had a great holidays! What are your New Years goals? Mine is to keep on traveling and see many places! And to braid a rug for my cabin...but mostly to travel more! Missy said she may take me on her choir tour; I hope she does!
