The Light That You Shine

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
Baby, to me, you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen?

Just Jewelry And Shoes For Christmas

And I know that to you it's just jewelry and shoes

But to me, they're the smile on your face

Cause baby you've been the glue and the nails and screws

That have managed to keep me in place

And I'm hoping that a melody will let you know

That I'm waiting for a Christmas kiss with mistletoe

               ~~ All I Can Give You, Jason Lancaster

Sure, sweetheart, I'm happy to give you a Christmas kiss.  But where ARE my jewelry and shoe gifts??  I'm waiting, unadorned.  ;)

Happy shopping!

Golden Trinkets And All Of My Love

Golden trinkets, diamonds all the shiny things
And rings with promises of timeless things
But it's nothing like the time I spent with you
Straight gold might be what she came for
Only thing she stays for, is all of my love

Ode To My Pandora

One small cat

changes coming home to an empty house

to coming home.

               ~~ Pam Brown

I don't talk about it much, but shared a bit on Facebook.  A few weeks ago, my cat, Pandora, breathed her last.  She was a gorgeous seal-point Himalayan with vivid blue eyes.  I was slave to that fluffy miss for 19 years.  

When I first saw her, I was at my vet's office.  I glanced over and saw little balls of fur in a cage with a beautiful Persian mama.  The receptionist said, "Oh my yes, would you like to buy one?  The owner is a breeder.  Part of her property was damaged in a fire, and she doesn't want these sweethearts disturbed by all the reconstruction.  They're 5 weeks old."  I wasn't shopping for a kitten.  My husband wasn't exactly going to be thrilled with a new addition.  The other kittens were mewing and tumbling around.  But Pandora was sitting there, slightly apart, just gazing at me with a slight tilt to her tiny head, like, well?  All rational thought melted away.

She was my companion for 19 years.  I have to smile, remembering.  She was MY cat.  Pandora merely tolerated my husband.  She reacted to the rest of family and friends like be gone with you!  My brother used to say she was the prettiest cat he'd ever seen...and also the meanest.  My small granddaughter would try to pet her, then run to me and say "Mean kitty!"  She wasn't mean, she was just threateningly vocal if disturbed.

Pandora would let me pick her up, scoop her in and out of the carrier for vet time, take her on the deck and cradle her to my shoulder so she could twitter back at birds.  And of course, cater to her every need and pet her endlessly, telling her what a gorgeous girl she was.  Cats DO preen.  :)  She was content being near me but not a lap kitty; it wasn't her thing.  Imagine the poignancy, of her last day, when she wanted me to hold her in my arms.  She was in the final stage of renal failure and we knew it was a matter of time.  That knowledge never makes it easier.  I held my little friend until her bluer than blue eyes glazed over and her heart beat no more.  I'd been strong and comforting for her because she needed me.  Then, I was finally able to cry.

We have a sweet little rescue dog, and the parade of family and friends.  But my home still feels empty without her.  Really, it isn't my home - it's my heart.

Are The Stars Out Tonight

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for you

Overstayed Their Welcome Last Halloween

Never, ever overstay your welcome.  You might not leave after all.  ;)  First up in these fun items depicted - this Ritual skinpack is a GIFT waiting for you at Trick or Treat Lane.  It's a huge pack of face and body appliers/you get all eight tones!  This little sugar skelly face, awwww, it's a must have...and free!  My super sexy lace Isabela dress is by Witch)o(Craft; I love the zippered front.  Head over to Designer Circle to pick up yours.  My voodoo doll is squeaking as I stab it, poor little guy, but he's already in pain from all the pins in him. Or rather, someone is in pain, hmm?  Secret Poses is on fire this month with fantastic releases.  Find the little hunt ghosts for 25Ls at the Spookzilla Hunt.  The MOoh! Skeleton gacha set makes another appearance here because they're just so skelly cool and the set has so many for staging.  Find yours at The Gacha Life.  (They like to overstay their welcome!)

Happy shopping and hunting!
