Siblings

There are the kinds of siblings that you are born with and then there are the ones you choose. The ones you choose are sometimes the ones that know you better than the other. When I saw this pose I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. You see in my head the caption for this photo has always been "Siblings have your back". Sure it's super punny, but you should come to expect that from me now. I am lucky enough to call these two family now you know since I married one of them. I am sure you can figure out which if you read this blog often enough. Well I should stop talking before the flu meds kick in and I start sounding like a prattling fool.

My New Furry Friend

Every days it's the same thing. He goes off to work and I am left all alone. I mean sure I get things done while he is gone, but it gets lonely, especially when he works late or goes on trips.

I mean we have a cat, but she is so independent and well just downright mean that I decided we needed a new member of the family. A furry member of course, so off I went. I have to say when I saw him it was love at first sight and I knew exactly what to name him.

Meet Topper! He is named after an old black and white movie with Cary Grant, one of my favorites actually. In fact we watched it just the other night. I don't have to worry about Topper going to work. In fact as long as I walk him and feed him and scratch him behind his floppy ears he sticks to my side.

My furry little bundle of love.

Beach Day!

When I am excited I can act like a little kid, especially when I am looking forward to going somewhere. I am not above getting dressed and then pouncing to wake people up.

What can I say it was beach day and I wanted to get going.Once I got him awake and to the beach we had a great day. We had a little picnic, splashed in the water, you know all the fun beach activities. The icing on the cake of a great day was watching the sun set together.
A perfect ending to a perfect day.

The Frog who was a Prince

You would think a man would be smart enough not to cross a fairy with a wand, but sometimes even the smartest people act, well less than brilliantly. This man happens to be a prince and he happened to rub this fairy the wrong way. He also happened to do this on a day when she was already pretty edgy so she did what fairies are known for. She bibbidi bobbidi booed his ass into a frog.

She never told him what he must do to break the spell and he was quickly picked up by a traveling circus and was never heard from again. So if you hear of a traveling show with a talking frog there is a good chance that the frog in question is really the prince who was transformed by a really annoyed fairy.

Freedom

After days of work the trapped princess finally was able to communicate with the birds she saw flying outside of her tower. She figured she could send a note down to the guard and beg for his help. I mean after all the guards fall for princesses in stories all the time.

The princess waited days wondering if the guard would come to her rescue. Day after day she paced her tower room, hoping for freedom. Finally one day she heard a noise at the trap door and through it burst the guard. She was free! She ran to her rescuer and came so close to rewarding him with a kiss.

Of course after reading all those books about princess and kissing she wasn't ready to kiss him and bind herself to him like Snow White and Sleeping Beauty and even that one who kissed the frog. Maybe he is worth it?

Her Tower Home

...continued from yesterday.
Once the princess was safely ensconced in the tower the merchant and his wife revealed to her her true identity. They went so far as to return to her the tiara and necklace her parents had left with for her as proof of her parentage and claim to the throne. Because the merchant and his wife cared for the princess so much they tried to make her tower room as warm and inviting as possible. They filled it with all sorts of pretty things to amuse her and make her comfortable.

Locking the princess in the tower wasn't enough to calm the merchants fears and so he hired a guard to watch the princess in the tower. The Princess found herself gazing out of the tower every morning at the guard below. There was something kind about his face that she was drawn to. She needed to find a way to get a message down to him.

Maybe using some of the stationary at her desk could work, she could fly a note down to him. If he is as kind as his face makes him out to be maybe he could come to her rescue.
to be continued...

Returning to the sea

...continued from parts one and two.
The young man noticed the sadness in the mermaid and though he wanted to keep her with him he knew she belonged in the sea. He spoke tender words to her letting her know that he loved her so much he couldn't stand to see her miserable.
They walked along the beach and as the waves crashed over her feet her tail began to return. She had a hard time letting him go, but she knew she didn't have a choice.

She dove into the water and swam away as fast as her fins could take her. Only once did she look back at him as her tears became one with the salty waters of the ocean.

The End?

Same damn thing....again

I have a serious problem with my addiction to yellow. It wasn't till I was writing up this post that I realized that last time there was a "same damn thing" blog challenge posting thing I wore a yellow shirt.



My hair is kinda in the way so you can't see the sculpted collar. Lets see if I can remedy that....



Well you can kind of see it better. But at least you get a good look at the sculpted cuffs, that is something right? Anyway this is my post about wearing the same Oxford shirt from Schadenfreude. It is in honor of one of Acha's most popular blogger challenges, you know where I happened to wear a yellow shirt and vest. Man that is embarrassing! I guess I like looking like a bumble bee. *Buzzzzzzzzes off*

Mechanic Monday (Mania)

It's been a while since I have done a post highlighting some of the goodies you could get on for the Monday Mania event. I blame real life for that, but today I got some time so here are just a couple if items.

I make a pretty sexy mechanic if I do say so myself. Hey sometimes it's fun to look a little more rough and tumble than cute and adorable. However if you are in the mood for something a little sexier then I have some tops for you


Oh and if you are into a more post apocalyptic thing you can get a gas masks at the same shop as these tops. I didn't photo it because well I am vain and I hate to cover my pretty face. And yes that is not an illusion, I am wearing pink (though it didn't stay on long). What can I say I am not a pink kind of girl. Sorry the post is short but I have to run off to get small people off the school bus.

Outfit of random awesomeness

I needed to title the post something didn't I? I have been playing with this look for days adding this, changing that and I forced myself to stop and blog it before I became too obsessed.

I started with the dress, but then thought it was a little bare so I added the sweater vest. Now I was all cute and cozy. Next it was onto hair. I pulled out this Argrace hair that I bought at the hair fair, but haven't worn because it was sooo popular around the time of the hair fair. You know blogger overkill and all so I tucked it safely away for just the right time.

I went through several different pairs of shoes before deciding on these flats that Sakura made. She doesn't know how she feels about them so who knows if they will ever be sold.

The skin is one that has been blogged a ton lately because it is one of the Pink Fuel ones from the Valentine's fair. So I guess I am not as original as I had hoped, but I do have an eye patch! Before I was done I needed a necklace. After going through a few I found the perfect one from Violet Voltaire. Did you know she was making jewelry in RL now too. Check out her Artfire page!
