And here is my sweet ghost child, Hyacinth. I LOVE Dollmore's Lusions so much. If they ever make a boy..well guess I'd better start saving! 'lol'

Well as some heard, I got my shipping notice that my Lusion, Hyacinth, is on her way. Maybe she will be here tomorrow or Tuesday if I'm lucky. I keep wondering what it is that makes us so wild over the Lusion. I mean, I know there's the rare case where someone has gotten theirs and perhaps not bonded. But overall, most seem to react so strongly toward her, much more like she's almost a real child rather than a doll. We buy lots of clothes and shoes and accessories for her. I've done all this and I haven't even received her yet. I've heard that Dollmore 'may' make a boy Lusion. That would be cool. Although I can't imagine wanting anything else again as much as I've wanted Hyacinth. I can't wait!! 'lol'

I just finished "The Indifferent Stars Above" by Daniel James Brown about Sarah Graves Fosdick and the Donner party. I feel so emotionally spent. I wonder if her spirit's at peace and if she's with her husband Jay finally. I can't begin to imagine the pain of what she went through, both physical and emotional. I'm glad I saw zagzagael's post about Sarah Graves' story and the beautifully poignant poem she wrote for her and her husband.

I think of times I feel so worn down by something and I just feel very small when compared to the story of these brave people. I think it's stories like this they should study in school, not boring repetition of the same Columbus discovering America stories. Tales like Sarah's and the Donners are what stop and make us see how strong people once were. How they didn't whine if they had to work a six day week instead of a five day week, or whine about having to stop at the grocery store on the way home from work....what they endured makes our lives seem so very easy. I'll never forget what they went through. Thanks, z, for posting about Sarah's story. I'm so glad I read it. It moved me so deeply.

I've liked the paintings of Mark Ryden for awhile now, but have missed some of his work. I only found this one today that I hadn't seen before. It sort of reminds me of how poor dead Hyacinth appears "on the other side". But to us she projects her earthly colors. Silly ramblings about a doll that's taken over my mind! 'lol'

I bought this for Hyacinth. It's about 120 yrs old approximately and 6 inches tall. I love German bisque dolls the most. Some prefer the French ones...which ARE quite beautiful. But for some reason I love the German bisque, especially Kestners. Kestner is the king of dollies in the antique dollie world (IMHO).. :)

I'd love something like this for Hyacinth...of course I love anything in tulle..

I saved up and although I had wanted to get Dollshe's Orijean, I went with the Lusion for now. I just love all the owner pictures and the fact she can wear 3-6 month baby outfits. That is so cool. I can't wait to get her. Her name will be Hyacinth Thomasina Barrows..her story is she's a Victorian child who's horse fell into a river and Hyacinth drowned. I know...another dead child scenario.. 'lol' I paid for her on Oct. 29th..so hopefully she'll be here in a few weeks.:)

I hate to feel like I'm whining. But take it with a grain of salt that I'm just feeling majorly sorry for myself and this is a way to figure things out. I'm tired of being sick constantly these past few months. I'm on antibiotics continuously for UTI's that won't clear up and now I'm sicker than ever. Not to be indecent or TMI but my plumbing is hurting to the point I want to go to bed and not get up. But I can't. I have all these people in my family needing something. Great to be needed but not right now. I have no energy. I get up in the morning and I about cry because I'm so tired and hurting everywhere. I can't do anything with my dolls. No energy for pictures I want to take. I got my Cuprit split items...head, outfit, wig, etc. and I don't have the energy even to finally stick the head on my Super Gem body I have...I want to make her pretty and have a look at her and I don't feel like doing anything with any of my dolls..

I wonder if I should go on a Raw Food diet...only uncooked fruits and veggies and juices..that always is high energy....I mean most people don't know that when we eat cooked food, after each meal, we get a temporary reaction called Digestive Leucocytosis or rise in white blood cells in response to the cooked food. The body sees it as toxic and foreign. I mean it makes sense. What animal eats food cooked? Humans. I don't mean we should eat raw meat. Because it comes a long way from the kill and obviously is loaded with some kind of bacteria by the time it gets to us. We can't exactly leap on a cow in the pasture though, can we?.. 'lol'

OH well...who knows. I want to feel better...not dead on my feet....end of 'poor-me-rant'..

I just found out all the seasons of Ally McBeal will be out on dvd tomorrow, October 6th! I'm so happy. I used to love this wacky show SO much and it doesn't even come on tv anymore in reruns. I think it ran from 1997 to 2002. The best part of the show was the phenomenal music in every episode, especially the appearances on the show of Vonda Shepard. I'm so happy...just not sure I'll have $129 for the set of 32 discs....I heard Target will have it for only $99 though.....yayyyyyyyyyy! 'lol' ....anyone who's never seen the show but loves crazy, kooky stuff, you MUST see it.

I haven't posted much lately. It's been a strange few weeks. First I had flu, then food poisoning (that was horrid)...THEN the puppies arrived Saturday. Sam and Daisy Jane are adorable, but what a little handful they are. Our other pekingese, Charlotte, went through some kind of depression and wouldn't leave the bedroom. She's getting better. She actually played with Sam a little.

Anyway, I had to go to the doctor yesterday because I'm still coughing from the flu I had. He gave me antibiotics and some cough medicine that makes me loopy. Reminds me of the movie "Stripes" with Bill Murray and he's driving a snotty old lady in his taxi and he gets fed up with her and starts driving badly and saying "I shouldn't have drank all that cough syrup"...'hehe'

I figured I should record the great event on my Lj. A new milestone's been reached. I'll see what the next decade brings to me. I don't really feel anything right now. Maybe a bit melancholy....I don't know. I don't feel much of anything to be honest.

Well believe it or not, we're getting Sam's sister also. So we'll have three pekingese...Charlotte plus the two from Caney Creek. I can't believe it. My husband insisted on getting Sam's sister. We'll probably name her Daisy. She's blonde also but a bit fluffier. She's a cutie. I'm just in shock at having two coming in a couple weeks! Here's her picture:

I would appreciate if you guys would click on my mini-city link in my city of Wraeth. With every visit, it makes my city and population grow! Unfortunately it only allows one visit per person per day:( And yes, I'm bored.. 'lol' Here's the link...thanks:) http://wraeth.myminicity.com/

This is Sam at 6 weeks old. I'll get him in about two more weeks. He's lighter in this picture because it's taken outside. It's closer to his real color. I can't wait to get my baby!

Some will know of my obsessive love for pekingese dogs. I lost my sweetie Chardonnay back in May to a ruptured disk and it was the worst loss of a pet I've ever had. My husband got a little female, Charlotte, for us and she's been so wonderful. And now I'm happy to say we're adding to our pekingese family with a little blonde male, Sam. He's in northern Tennessee right now with his mommy because he's still too young to ship, but around Sept. 22 (Chardonnay's birthday strangely) he'll be brought to me by a dog hauler. I'm so excited. He's blonde like Char was and he's simply adorable. I've always wanted two pekes for some reason...maybe it's like potato chips and you can't have just one. I fully encourage anyone wanting a puppy to get a peke. They are such wonderful dogs and one of the few that actually get cuter as they age. I'm so happy there are 'dog haulers' who will bring them to your door. I never liked the idea of them going on airplanes. It can be traumatic for them. And Vicky encourages using the haulers. Plus they are cheaper. Vicky has two pups left if anyone is so inclined!....this is Caney Creek Pekingese site: http://www.ccpekingese.com/index.html

I still can't get over how the last episode of True Blood made me cry and cry. It was heartbreaking seeing a strong vampire like Eric crying and so torn apart with grief (not to mention pleading and sobbing in Swedish..how intense is THAT!). I won't give the episode away for those who haven't seen it, but it was amazingly wrenching! I LOVE this show!

More photos using my Heliot wig and ghost eyes...he's so yummy!

I had to post my beautiful Dollmore Victor Lou vampire, Wrath, since my friend Miss Ally from DoA did his face up. I was ready to sell Wrath because I just couldn't bond with him and Miss Ally offered to do a new face up on him to see if that would help. Not only did it help, but I'm soooo happy at how awesome he looks now. He's simply the most sexy, beautiful vampire I have! Thank you, Miss A.....dear candygears has done my extra Heliot head but I'm going to wait till I get him and a wig for him before I post  his pics. He looks magnificent as well. :)

Well I've fallen totally, madly, completely in love with the DSAMs and I have to have one. I'm leaning toward Orijean with the 35 body, because it fits the character I want. But I also like Saint a lot. Still I think I'll go for Orijean. The 35 body is insectoid or reptilian and so is the Orijean face. I want it for a sort of angel/alien hybrid character. I have part of the money saved, but need a bit more. I love this doll's body SO much and I really can't wait to get it. My birthday's in September, but I hope I can order it before then and get him by my birthday. I love him SO much...although I still have to decide resin color also...grr....too many decisions! I love white..i have SO many white dolls...but also the ebony is beautiful and no one ever seems to get ebony and I wonder why. Is there something wrong with the resin or is it just not as appealing?
