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 ...

    A while back my wonderful partner, Vanish suggested that I stop making my blogs SOOOO detailed and just blog about the one or two items of each outfit that really caught my attention.  That is SOOOO hard to do when there are SOOOO many pretty things just staring back at you!  The funny thing about it, is that this outfit ...

I Am Ready

by El | 0 » | Mar31 10
My Sweet Lover, For the last several days I have spent a lot of time going back over how we met, how we fell in love...asking questions of myself...marvelling at all we have done and become.  I look back at it almost feeling afraid that we hesitated so long...I was SO afraid...and I know you were too, but for different reasons.  ...

Claimed

by El | 0 » | Mar30 10
  My Darling Husband, I have noticed a difference in the way you speak to me lately.  I must admit, it is a difference I like.  You may not even notice, although I doubt that somehow…it is SO seldom that you don’t plan and MEAN every single word that you utter.  For so long, I had felt unwanted, un-needed, uncared for…you changed all ...

My wonderful husband, As I read over this AGAIN...it amazed me how much I STILL do the same things.  Some days I feel like I have made so much progress and other days not so much.  Here I am all this time later and still asking...what if?  What if?  I was SO afraid then....and everything turned out SO beautifully...when am I ...

The Last Vestiges of Winter

by El | 0 » | Mar28 10
The cold snow fell upon her gold locks, melting as it touched them, her golden shoes leaving little trails in the snow.  Mostly they patterned a bigger footprint, walking by the side of it, at times falling into it.  The music was loud as people danced around the brightly lit fire and the smell of roasting meat wafted through the ...

On Reggae Mice, Griefer Trolls and General Failure in Second Life

by V | 0 » | Mar27 10
I really wanted to write about all of the above. (I'll explain the Reggae Mice bit, bear with me.) The point is, as much as I want to write a really good, thoroughly profound and enlightening post on all of these topics, I always end up reading pages after pages of blogposts (including comments - no, I didn't have my ...

My Precious Husband, It was such a treat for me to be able to hear you today.  When I think back, I remember thinking how much it would mean to me just to be able to HEAR your voice....and I never knew if that would ever happen, but I remember thinking how wonderful it would be...and then I did!  You sang ...

I was afraid you couldn't be with me because of your 'situation'... and that we wouldn't be able to make it. El Firecaster: And so... If I had asked you THEN....what would you have told me?

The First Kiss

by El | 0 » | Mar25 10
This time of the month ALWAYS brings this memory back to me.  I have had some WONDERFUL memories in my life...and as most people...some NOT so wonderful ones.  But this one...sometimes I think my entire life was leading up to this one moment in time.  We were both SO afraid, so unsure and at the same time never more sure ...

Thank you my lover, for checking in on me even when it is late, for letting me know what you are doing and when you will be back.  Thank you for always taking me into consideration and making me feel like I am truly the most important thing in your life.  Those things are NOT taken for granted!  You are ...

Hats

by El | 0 » | Mar23 10
Her big floppy hat almost completely covered one eye and seemed to provide some protection from the outside world to her.  Her day had been filled with multiple incidents and her head pounded as she waited for HIM....all she needed was HIM...all she could think of was HIM.....as her mind returned to the days events.....   How many times must one „girl“ ...
