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 ...

From the First Moment

by El | 0 » | Apr29 10
This was one of our first conversations together...alone...without anyone else around. It is hard to think that we had only met a little over 10 days earlier...and that in a little over 10 days later we would be partners! Things went FAST and yet...it seemed like I had been waiting all my life for this...and it was just a natural ...

Blood and Roses

She lay on the bed, the soft crimson covers hugging her body.  It was still warm where he had lain.  She nuzzled the empty spot with her nose…trying to smell him there.  Her mind, as always, wandered to the wonderful moments they had spent together just moments earlier…. [16:02]  Vanish Firecaster takes her in his arms... pulling her tight. Vanish Firecaster: God, ...

Normal

by El | 0 » | Apr27 10
Normal is such a relative term, I’m almost afraid to use it.  Everything that was “normal” for me for SO long is no longer.  In fact, I have come to learn that some of it was terribly ABnormal.  It was good to be able to talk to you about all that…it kind of helps me sort things out.  My entire ...

Good morning my precious lover.  I hope you had a peaceful rest and that your first day back at work will be an easy one.  Yes…I missed you, but I am glad you rested and am so looking forward to seeing you this evening.  Until then…. [2010/04/25 5:27]  El Firecaster: I love you.... Thank you for coming here with me. Vanish Firecaster ...

The Long Ordeal

by El | 0 » | Apr25 10
Happy Anniversary, love…yes…we DO have one every other week, but I would feel remiss if I did not stop for a moment to celebrate the last 8 months of our lives together.  I hate that we had to end our last time together so abruptly.  I thought about it for a long time after you left and while I hated ...

Bonded

My sweet V, Thank you for having spent so much of your time with me during your holiday, love.  I hate that it has come to an end, and even though I know that we will still be together there is a sadness in me at the thought that it is over, once again.  I remember feeling this same way the ...

I WILL Fly

by El | 0 » | Apr23 10
My most loved husband, Thank you for always leading me in the right direction and for gently reminding me of who and what we are and always have been.  I DO NOT understand WHY it is SO easy for me to forget that fact.  Perhaps once again it has to do with the difference in the male and female psyche?  It is ...

Never Let Me Go

El Firecaster nods Vanish Firecaster: ...It's incredible El Firecaster: yes…it is! El Firecaster smiles El Firecaster: I know exactly what you mean... Every time that we are together, love…it DOES seem as though everything that we have ever ...

The Rocker

by El | 0 » | Apr21 10
She laid her head back, closing her eyes, rocking back and forth.  Oh the feeling!  She had not sat in a rocking chair in over 4 months.  Her mind started to wander as she sat there and as usual her thoughts drifted to him and of recent past.  It was the rocker he had bought for her.  She felt the ...

“NMFTT”

by El | 0 » | Apr20 10
“NMFTT” It seems, my precious V that we find ourselves in uncharted waters.    Every day that we are together seems to push us further and further out to an unknown sea, with no maps…if we’re lucky we MAY have a compass; let’s hope it is not broken!  I guess it is not sufficient that we ourselves are very different creatures, ...
