The little angel has decided she wants a Barbie pool for Christmas. She hasn't asked for anything in particular up until recently, saying she just wants everything. Then -- out of nowhere -- Barbie pool.

Actually, I think it was "I want a dream house with a pool." And I said, "Dude! Me, too!" Then she showed me this:

 

This pool is $80?

I kept looking.

Hmm. $75.

Finally I figured it out: All the good pools are vintage, and there aren't many around in good condition. A HA.

So I'm sitting here, waiting out my bid on Ebay on a good-condition, used Barbie pool. Modern-day Barbie apparently only has hot tubs.
