A lot has happened since my last entry...


A few days after the move one of our dogs died. Her passing was very sudden- she had been acting weird [her entire life] but we thought it was just Echo being Echo. Unfortunately she was having mini-strokes and small seizures her whole life, [not one single vet we'd ever seen gave us any reason to believe that] and one of them finally was so bad she just flopped over like a fish, started convulsing, then went comatose and... that was it... there was nothing to the vet could do...

Her ashes are now resting in the china cabinet in the dining room. It's a good spot for her to keep an eye on things around the house...

Fast forward to a few months later; my husband recently got a job promotion [yay!] and we adopted a sweet little kitty. We named her "Pyracantha" [Pyra for short] and she... well... she kind of has the same traits as Echo. It's really weirding me out. She was born right after Echo died... is it some kind of sign? I believe in reincarnation, but even this is too strange. It's better to not think about it... <.<

At any rate, it's been almost a year since we moved to Texas. And in that year, we have been able to hit more adult milestones in our lives than we ever were able to in our 8 years of floundering in California. I definitely feel this was the right thing to do. I miss my friends and a few of my old haunts like crazy, but I wouldn't go back and not do it.

Plus, I adore Texas. There is this whole thing out here where everyone is just... so nice. People are fairly pragmatic and level headed too! It took some getting used to but I find myself embracing it. It's different from the Surfer Mellow and the Angry Executive clash that happens in Cali, but in a good way. California's feel is that of a manic person who is always on edge. Texas is like an older couple who run a bed and breakfast in the country. Really, really different vibes.

Also, somehow the food is better out here. Not just tastier but better for you. I've lost 20 pounds since I moved last year! without even trying! And I think I might be eating more too! How is that possible???  o___o;

Well, now I'm rambling so I guess it's time for me to end this. XD








Please feel free to sit back, relax, and drop me a note if you are also a member. But most of all, enjoy the art. ^_^

Hello! I'd like to invite you to our group, LegendofDragoonArt after seeing the LoD artwork in your gallery. Please help our new group grow, even if you will not be contributing further. There is an immense lack of art for this particular game, and we want to put the best out there for fans to see.

Please consider our request and we hope to see you soon!
