25 Years and we're all still kids!!

Housed in the back of the bonus room closet in a Rubbermaid® tote you will find Corinne Winnie, Bronwen Heartha and Lori Ann.

Now settle, no need to report me to child services! They aren't real people (though there was a day you couldn't have convinced me of that!). They are my Cabbage Patch Kids®, and yes, I still have them! I loved them!! Who didn't like Cabbage Patches®? Those cute little cheeks on the front and the back and their signature tattoo.

Corinne was an original. She is well worn, her eyes are even gone. I think I spilled something on her face and they came off, so I had to draw new ones on! Bronwen is my Cornsilk addition. She has shiny, thick, brown hair and a really pretty taffeta dress. She's my favorite and is in much better condition, since I received her at an older age. And Lori Ann, she's my little brown baby, with Crimp 'n Curl® hair. I was way too old for dolls when I got her . . . but you see I've never outgrown them.

I'm lead to believe there are others out there in the same boat. Because I should hope someone's not paying over $3000 for Election Exclusive: One-of-a-Kind Cabbage Patch Kids® Sarah Palin to give it to their 3 year-old for Christmas. Oh dear!
Right now, the current bid is $3,100.
John McCain and Barack Obama are tied at $1,025.
And nobody's too thrilled about Joe Biden, he's only at $610.

Ummmm . . . people . . . do you see who's in the lead? Oh, no media, no one likes Sarah Palin. Um-hummm.

Well, the auction actually ends on, you guessed it, Nov. 4th. So we'll just have to wait and see who comes out on top of this e-BaY action, as well as the race to the presidency.
