https://This weather is driving me to drink!

Frost on the ground… snow… and this is in Florida! Not exactly why I moved down south, away from the bitter chill in the northeast.  At least I kept enough of my old winter clothing to not only survive the cold, but to look stylish doing it!  But enough is enough… shouldn’t spring be right behind the corner?  Shivers… guess I need to warm up with some shopping therapy!!!

If I let you, would you play me?

Posted on by cejalaval

https://Would you play scales up and down me?

Sighs… when a song is stuck in your head, it’s hard to think of anything else!!!

He plays piano in a jazz band
And I love him for the man that he could be
I asked him, “If I let you, would you play me?”
Then delighted as he tickled every key

And he could feel the ivory skin beneath his fingertips
And I would watch the notes fall one by one from his lips
And he could snap his fingers to the beat
Of my heart, but he couldn’t feel the heat

And I want to be like lovers in an old romantic song
Where the music fades away before the love it can go wrong
But I am just a dreamer wearing sensible shoes
And I still dream in color even though I sing the blues

And he is playing scales up and down me
As we sing our tales of hope in perfect harmony
And measure out our love by the length of a song but
It disappears somewhere when the music is gone

Every song ever written has a final note
And I sign my name below every letter that I wrote
And lovers who part give a final kiss
Now I know it’s not the player but the music that I miss

He plays piano in a jazz band
And I love him for the man that he could be
I asked him, “If I let you, would you play me?”

Oh, but I am just a dreamer wearing sensible shoes
And I still dream in color even though I sing the blues
And I want to be like lovers in an old romantic song
Where the music fades away before the love it can go wrong

Fighting those birthday blues…

Posted on by cejalaval

https://Fighting those birthday blues

So it’s my birthday today, Christmas Eve… tough time to have a birthday, not just for me, but for everyone…  It’s not just the date itself, but I’ve always gone a bit overboard in my head about my age and what I’ve accomplished not just in the year past but in my life to date and what I hope to see in the future.  And the older I get (and this is a big milestone year, one that will NOT be mentioned lol!), the less I seem to accomplish and the less time there is out ahead of me.  My current way of dealing with it (which actually seems to work for the most part) is to indulge myself and just wallow for a bit… after I’ve gone through that for a day or two leading up to today, I can wake up and go, okay, ENOUGH.  Let the new year begin!  So, the new year (and new decade of life) has officially begun… happy birthday to me (and happy holiday shopping to us all)!

  • Outfit:  Carol’s Store – Beatrice Sweater & Skirt.   I love the look of this outfit, it’s just such an effortless look that embodies style! Choose from 10 single colors for the cozy ribbed knit cropped top, & 10 for the skirt with fabulous detail at the waistband, or you can opt for a fatpack for either or a megapack for all, where the HUD now includes the ability to easily add tint so you can customize colors to create your own unique look (which is exactly what I did here because I wanted something bright that was NOT in Christmas colors)!  ORIGINAL MESH with materials enabled, Beatrice is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, GenX (Classic & Curvy), Lara+LaraX+PetiteX, Kupra, Erika, & Momma.  I’m sorry to say that Beatrice was at Uber until the 22nd, but in line with my birthday blues, I was having a tough time getting psyched for blogging so I’m a bit late, but have no fear, she’s now at the mainstore!  Demo available.

Hot wine… the perfect antidote to forgetting your coat in the cold!

Posted on by cejalaval

https://Hot wine... the perfect antidote to forgetting your coat in the cold!

Hot mulled wine seems to be a big thing in parts of Europe… It was everywhere we went in Europe last month, which was a very good thing considering how cold it was and how insufficient my coat was at keeping the cold at bay (hey, I live in Florida; my outerwear — and the ability to carry it on a plane — is limited lol!).  Personally, I still prefer hot apple cider, which I guess is more of an American thing, but one of the friends I was traveling with went wild over the wine! And it certainly does warm you up AND give you that relaxed sultry feeling that you can only get from red wine…  wish I had some here before I go out in our version of cold (which is definitely NOT what I used to experience up north) and do more shopping!  Enjoy!
