Welcome to libralicous.com, my online home where I display some of my artwork and keep my blog. My name is Elusive...at least that is what everyone online knows me by. I love playing with my Photoshop CS4 and PSP X2. I have also become somewhat addicted to Apophysis for my fractals. The fractals are free for you to take and use and I hope you enjoy using them as much as I have enjoyed making them. The seamless patterns and textures are free for you to take and use, as well.

Hi everyone! It has been a while since I have popped in to say hello. I am noticing that it seems like less and less people are keeping their web sites for blogging with MySpace, Facebook, and whatever else is out there. At this point I am keeping my site because I do not care to share the personal information that those sites require. I have also noticed that it is impossible to delete a Facebook account once you are signed up for it. That is very annoying! I do not know if MySpace is the same way, but with Facebook you have the option to delete it but it is not ever deleted. :-/ Just thought I would give everyone a head's up on that. ;) I live in the Southwest and Summer is definitely here. We are going to be in the low 100's this week. Unless you are in a swimming pool, an air conditioned mall or a movie theater there is not much to do. LOL Have a great week everyone!

It has been a while since I have added to my blog. I have been busy with another hobby. I bought a Nikon CoolPix P80 camera and I have been having a lot of fun taking photos. This camera sure makes it easy and the photos look fabulous! You can see some of them posted in my NAPP Portfolio. I am off to read through a ton of email so have a wonderful rest of your week everyone! :)

My mother called to let me know she cancelled her nuclear stress test. She decided that since she is going to be 83 years old next month that if they did find anything wrong she does not want it corrected because she does not want to undergo surgery. I am concerned about her but I honor her decision.

I have been busy going to the indoor target range to practice my shooting. It has become another hobby along with my beginning photography. :) You can view some of my photography at my NAPP Portfolio. I will be adding more photos today.

I thought I would pop in and give an update on my mother. I can hardly believe this but the floor doctor of the hospital talked her Cardilogist in to letting her go home Monday. He wanted her to have a nuclear stress test of her heart before she went home but she talked her Cardilogist in to letting her wait and have it done in his office April 21st. I am not happy that the test is scheduled so far away, but all we can do is wait and see what happens and what the test shows once she has it done. Thank you all very much for your concern. I certainly appreciate it.

My mother was admitted to the hospital yesterday afternoon. She has had heart problems for quite some time and it has finally become bad enough where she is either going to need a stent or a pacemaker because she is not a candidate for bypass surgery. She has two leaky heart valves that have become quite bad and fluid around her heart, and is exhibiting all the signs of a heart attack. I hope her Cardiologist comes in to see her today and does not wait until Monday. I guess we shall just have to wait and see. At least they are keeping her stabalized. Thank you in advance for your prayers. My whole family appreciates them very much.
