American Girl @ Rock Hall Museum

I have dodged this American Girl Doll thing for YEARS...until now.  I used to work in the Time Warner Building, adjacent to a luxury high rise apartment building, where I would often see little rich girls, sometimes 3-6 at a time, get in and out of limos with 1-2 American Girl Dolls under their arms while mom or dad carried the dolls accessories.  I knew even before I had my daughter that I would not pay for such a doll that costs at least $100 naked...okay, maybe not naked but close.  She only comes with one outfit and a book.

The catalogs began coming to the house two years ago. As soon as they came, I trashed them long before my daughter made it home from school.  She had not a clue about the American Girl Doll phenomenon, until she went to Kindergarten.  One of her classmates often bragged about her million dollar doll.  One that I simply refused to purchase.  I remember talking my daughter out of wanting the doll last year.  Two of her tennis friends spent their birthdays in the city where you can participate in the American Girl Doll Experience.  I told their moms to tell their daughters NOT to tell my daughter.

Honestly, I did try to book a lunch at the New York store but because her birthday is near Christmas, I couldn't make an appointment online.  That's legit, right? 

She never really played with dolls even after I tried to force a doll upon her few years ago.  Until recently. Now she plays with Barbies and just asked me tonight if I would buy her more Barbie clothes.  I'm thinking it's peer pressure.

Rock Hall Museum is hosting a Storytelling by the Fireside Wednesday, December 5th featuring "Kirsten's Surprise: A Christmas Story" at 4 p.m.  My daughter's Daisy Troop is attending.  I'm pretty sure this $5 field trip will soon turn into $150 when she sees the others with their beautiful dolls.  I kinda feel bad now that she doesn't have one.  Who wants their daughter to be the only one without an American Girl Doll?

I thought peer pressure was about drugs, alcohol, and other bad behaviours.  Who knew it would also involve dolls?

Let's Get CO Detectors In Our Schools ASAP

This morning on the Today Show, it was reported that Finch Elementary School in Atlanta, GA was overcome with carbon monoxide fumes due to a malfunctioning furnace sending 43 students to the hospital.  Similar situations occurred in a Baltimore and Philadelphia school.  What's going on?  I think we need to find out if our schools have CO detectors, don't you think?

"Turns out, this school didn't have any carbon monoxide detectors. In fact, we looked into it, and in most states, there are no laws, no requirements for schools to have them at all. That means your children could be breathing this poisonous gas in their classroom every day... and not even know it."

There currently is NO LAW in New York that mandates that our schools have CO detectors in our schools.  Time to change that STAT.  There are only two states that mandate detectors and those states are Maryland and Connecticut. 

Let's contact our school administrators to see if there are any CO detectors in our schools and if there aren't lets see how we can get this changed yesterday.  If money is an issue, what do you think about donating one to your school.  I'm all for it especially if it will save the lives of our children.

If the schools aren't on board with this life-threatening gas, also known for causing learning disabilities and cardiovascular problems in children, let's contact our state officials who can get it done

New York State Senator Dean Skelos
