OC RP - Liz

 Liz knew it was bad news when Zeth showed up. She did her best to stay calm about it. After all, her job was rather intense. There was always something to do at the law office. They needed eyes to look at files, not AI. Needless to say, she just wanted to relax, not put up with Cole's best friend.

"Where did he come from?" She was dead serious.

"You know, we text," Cole shrugged like it was no big deal.

"But, but you're working now. You need to stay away from him." She knew their story. When they got together, they drank, they hung out. They were idiots together.

"Well, maybe I quit," he was smart-mouthed about it, which didn't sit well with her. He implied she was doing her own thing, wasn't she? It was as if this were her fault. Not his.

Liz shook her head as if she knew he would never listen to her.

"Fine! As long as he's here, I'm going to Delia's!" She shot him a look that she was serious. She was tired of being his babysitter. She stuffed some things in her backpack. It wasn't much, but she did need clean undies. She left in a huff while Zeth was out getting snacks and beer. No way did she want to be around the two of them. 

But of course, when she knocked on Han's door, no one answered. Just what she needed. Running away in her sleep pants and a tank. She didn't know where to go. Delia said they'd be friends, but she knew she was just a maybe to her. That was generally her MO. She'd grown not to expect much from anyone, yet she still felt jilted.

Her stomach growled about then. Ugh, just what she needed. She looked in her wallet. Of course, she didn't have cash, just her debit card. Thankfully, Cole wasn't a part of her bank account. She was glad she hadn't partnered with him. Now she wondered why she ever came this far with him.

Bitter tears got the best of her as she decided she'd have to get something to eat, maybe at the convenience store, but as night was setting in, it would be chilly, and the store was a few blocks away. Liz pushed the button on the elevator to go down, but when the door opened, it was Ezra with a box of pizza.

"You're not going out like that, are you?" He was in his hoodie and jeans, and said a cold front had moved through.

She nodded.

"What's going on?"

Liz nursed her bottom lip. She didn't want to be this upset, but it was true that her life was in limbo.

"You can tell me about it, over pizza," he told her. There was enough sausage and mushroom pizza for both of them.

Barbie highs and lows

 

This week I've been spending the afternoons with someone since she is on Spring Break. Of course, we always love new Barbie clothes, and even that can get expensive. So usually, the outfits are made of balloons or socks. We use our imagination a lot while playing Barbies and of course, the wonderful stories we create.

I also went on a Barbie hunt last Friday at ROSS. I came across a facemold I had never seen before. The package had been retaped and looked rather sad. Although, the doll was OK and I liked her outfit with the cutest boots! Later, when I got home, I realized someone had switched heads on this doll. I don't think they did it in the store. Possibly, they bought the Teresa Barbie, got home, made the swap, and brought it back to get their money back because she was similar to the Teresa. 

This head-swapping even affects thrift stores. Usually, you just find all sorts of dolls in the bin, but now they are packaged up, usually, by two, and you might pay anywhere from four to eight bucks. In some cases if the doll in rare, fourteen bucks or so. In most cases, you might end up with a doll you didn't want.

At Goodwill, you have to go to their website if you want to buy Barbies.

OC RP Dakota and Fiona

"Oh, you two, you're so very tight," Dakota teased Fiona about Matty.

"Speak for yourself," Fiona acted as if she should have never told her about their walk on the beach. "It wasn't exactly paradise, you know, it was freezing."

Snow was in the forecast; hopefully, it wouldn't snow here, but even Hawaii had snow in the forecast these days.

"I'm glad you're happy."

They were boy off work and trying to get to the March clearance at their favorite department store before everything was gone. Funny, how they both still loved box stores. It was great to do this together, even if they didn't really buy anything. But they might find something they had always wanted. 

"So what's up with your brother's girl? I see her hanging around Ezra these days." Fiona's question took Dakota by surprise.

"Well, if anyone could be an albotrose in a relationship, it would be Cole."

Dakota gave up on trying to remind Fiona that Cole was just a baby step-brother. He would always be a baby. 

"Do you think she's unhappy with him?" Fiona questioned as she looked through all sorts of clothes that were up to 70% off, and buy one get one free.

"Hard to say. I don't ask. Maybe they are in the friend zone."

"Really? Is it just the friend zone with Ezra, too?

Dakota wished she wouldn't bring Ezra up. He was a mute topic with her and Nav. "How should I know?" Dakota wanted to think the best of Lizzie, not the worst. "I know she works hard and she's with the worst slob on earth."

About then, Fiona squealed in excitement. She'd found a Teddy Coat. "We can be twinzies!" There were two in the same color. They could buy one together and get one free.
