Good to be Back!

I just spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital. It was horrible. I hope I never have to do that again. I have spent the last week or so seeing different docs and adjusting meds. It has been NO fun. The whole time I just wanted to feel good enough to blog. SO....now I do...and I have been thinking and ...

5 things to pay before the money runs out

I've been quiet the past two months, which is mainly attributed to a much-needed holiday vacation and subsequent stressful getting-back-into-work period. All this is complicated by the fact that El's currently staying in the hospital, but hopefully will be out again sometime this week. Anyway, as you can imagine, there wasn't much time to do anything productive, so I don't ...

Kandy and Victory Modan

For those of you that have followed my blog for very long at all, you will know that I model hair for Ali & Alli.  This CUTE little updo is one of their newest releases aptly named Kandy.  When Alice gave us the hair she simply asked for "something sweet" . . .and I can see why.  I LOVE the ...

3 of a Kind – Jeans

A few weeks ago, as I was looking through the feeds and flickr photostreams I came across a pic of an avi . . .just a simple pick.  The picture showed an avi in casual clothes, various poses but all together and I had a thought . . .perhaps I should start a category in my blog where I shot ...

Siss Boom, Eclectica and R2 Fashion

I was going to do a Q&D for this post . . .I PROLLY should have done a Q&D (Quick and Dirty) for this post, but I once again became so enamored with it once it was done, that I just HAD to talk about it a little.  There are SO many things about it that are SO pretty. It has ...

Ever an’ Angel

Don't you hate it when people aren't nice? Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes it seems like some people just want to be hateful and don't give two squats about what others want or need, or what is right or wrong. They live on the “me” level. And I find that SO disconcerting. It is NOT that I have never “visited” that ...

Donna Flora A to Z C is for Cerry

   Several years ago, when I was just a little bitty avi, I stumbled upon a shop named Donna Flora.  I still do not remember how I found it.  It was probably through one of the numerous groups that I am a part of...always looking for a bargain.  But I remember looking around and thinking that I had found THE ...

02 The Company Of Gods

02 The Company of Gods

Every day I’m sitting on the cliffs and look beyond the sea.
My thoughts are soaring high above the storm that’s hanging over me
And carry me across the raging waves towards the shining shore,
The lands which oft are being told of both in legend and in lore.

And so one day I set out, bound to leave the company of men,
To leave the dismal euphony and never to come back again.
To dance forever underneath a bright and sided hollow sky
And laugh about the darkness that has long since passed me by.

Oh, to be there, in the lands, oh so fair.
Kiss the winds in the company of kings.

And after many a night at sea the shores of wonder came in sight.
Where I forever would be free without a struggle or a fight.
And as I looked for all the kings, I recognized that they were gone.
Here in the lands afar from home I seem to be the only one.

Oh, to be there, in the clouds everywhere,
Bring me on to where the gods are at home.
I’m travelling on, to that distant sun,
Where the light is on and the endless songs are sung.

There’s too much answer to be found behind the curtain of the night.
And I can see through all of it onto the other side.
The keeper of the city keys unlocks the door into the dream
And as I fall into the void noone can hear my lonely scream.

Now that I’m here, in the cold, empty air,
I can tell, these gods donít fare too well.
Come, let me go, youíre not good anyhow.
You’re the same as all the actors in the game.
