Last Sunday, August 5th marked 10 months post-op from my hysterectomy. I am getting ever closer to my 1 year and I can’t wait. To me, that’s a real hurdle to overcome and I feel like it’s the turning point I’ve been waiting for. Still, ten months is good and I’m doing really well. Scars…

Synchronized Napping
In honor of the opening ceremonies of the Olympics tonight, the cats wanted to share their gold medal performance in the Synchronized Napping event. Go Team USA Napping Cats! (This was the exact same day, just about an hour apart. Technically, it was also about a month ago but it’s too funny not to share.)
Minor Updates – With Pics!
There really just hasn’t been a whole heck of a lot interesting going on, so there’s been a distinct lack of blog updates lately as a direct result. Here’s a few brief blurbs of what’s been going on this week that didn’t warrant an entire entry. Bruise Update Remember the massive bruise I mentioned a…
Wood 1; Leg 0
What happens when you take an adorable but hyper little cat, a dark room, a solid wood pointy corner and me? A massive, painful bruise. Sunday-into-Monday late night about 2am or so, I’m getting ready for bed. Love, of course, is already long since in bed and sleeping so the master bedroom is fully dark….
Sun and Moon
Few updates to the shop this week I wanted to quickly share before the weekend and I get busy and forget to update. 😉 Rainbow Moonstone Full Moon Tree of Life Pendant in Sterling Silver Wire This Full Moon Tree of Life Pendant features a beautiful Rainbow Moonstone “moon” behind the bare branches of a…
Somewhere Under the Rainbow
That sounds dirty and suggestive. Oh well, WordPress has already named the permalink so I’m sticking with it. (Yes I know there’s an edit button. Don’t bring logic into this.) It’s not meant to be a dirty or suggestive title at all actually. I was just sitting, staring at the empty entry title field and…
New At PhoenixFire Designs
I’ve been busy making both new items, as well as new versions of previously sold items. But I’ve been lax about posting those updates here in the blog. (Though I’ve posted some on PhoenixFire Designs blog and more on PhoenixFire Designs Facebook page. Those are two good resources to get more up-to-the-minute updates. 😉 But…
Majestic Mika
And…since Gracie tends to be the one who’s picture most often graces the blog here (it’s just because she sits more still and is therefore easier to photograph; unlike Mika, who the minute you point the camera at her, promptly gets up and comes over to you making for a total brown blur of a…
Little Loaf Cat
And because even I’m sick of talking about healthcare here’s a cute pic of Gracie in her classic “cat loaf” position: When in doubt, go for cute. And Gracie has cute in spades.
I am Obamacare and This Is CNN
Holy crap! I’m on CNN!. My story is up. And as of right now, it’s right on the main page too. Holy cow. How surreal is that?? To see yourself on the front page of CNN?? I’m kinda freaking the heck out right now. In a good way! You can still see my original I…
My Day With CNN
Ok, in all honesty, it was really my day with one reporter/photojournalist from CNN. Not like I had an entire satellite truck and crew here or anything! He got here a little after 1pm and was here until almost 5pm. He spent about an hour interviewing me first. This is a photo I took from…
Tropical Storm Debby
It’s been absolutely pouring here since yesterday. Non-stop. It’s raining sideways out there. All because of Tropical Storm Debby. Even though it’s on it’s way towards New Orleans, the way hurricanes and tropical storms spin, the back end is lashing the entire state of Florida, just drenching us. High winds, surf advisories, tornado warnings, flood…
This Week at PhoenixFire Designs
Some updates, some new additions and some restocks! I have some new pieces that need to be photographed and listed such as a blue lapis tree, a dark green aventurine in brown wire tree and some new peacock feather pendants! Look for those in the next few days. Also! I’m running a very special, very…
