Until then, have a great Saturday!

Laundry Day 033

I had another long day where I did a long loop of travel from home to work to a meeting in another town an hour away then back to work to drop off the employee who was with me and then the 40 minute trek back home.  One of those days where I ended up not being able to have lunch until about 4 pm and by then sporting a headache.  Next time I make it to the grocery store I’m storing up on a box of beef jerky and dumping a few in my purse.

Then I have to get home only to have to do laundry in Second Life.  Just kidding! As if!  I think that the moment that SL begins to feel like work that’s when I know it’s really time to move on.

Cinco De Mayo 015

When I saw this top and skirt from Ala Folie several days ago I thought it would be perfect to go around in for Cinco de Mayo.  The outfit comes with a HUD to change the colors of the top and skirt and my only wish was that I could have done that also for the middle portion so I could have made it white to reflect the Mexican Flag colors a little better.  This still works really well and I added the white head piece from LODE.  I am really loving the head accessories from LODE these days and this one is no exception and at 50L chance gacha you can’t go wrong with any color you get.

Little Flower 030

I’m fighting a little bit of a headache today and hoping some distraction might just be the thing to forget about it.   If you haven’t heard of Little Branch, they are behind some lovely landscaping products like these field of red poppies. They are exceptionally well done and realistic and make for a great addition to your landscape.  They can be found at the newest round at the Cosmopolitan Sales Room.

I am wearing a dress along with the head and neck handkerchiefs and the rose, which are gacha items at this month’s round of Shiny Shabby.  If you haven’t been then you should as they have some lovely items that depict the theme, “For the love of Russia.” M.Birdie did an excellent job with this dress that is in the style of the Matryoshka, which are those cute nesting dolls that are known as a traditional symbol of the Russian culture.  I’ve always loved these dolls and actually have my very own set from Russia. They were a nice gift from a friend who has a daughter that was born there.

Happy Thursday!

Serenity 030

If it makes you happy
It can’t be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

While I was taking this picture the chorus of the song “If It Makes You Happy” kept playing through my head.   I don’t recall listening to the song any time recently, so it befuddles me where it came from to just sit there in my mind playing over and over.

Maybe in a way it relates to the state of mind that I fell into this week after learning about something that was a hard pill for me to swallow.  Truth that left me feeling a bit tattered and well… just sad.  In coming to terms with it I faced reality head on and with it came a sense of loss.  The loss of an idealistic expectation that left me feeling a bit uncertain about a few things and bemoaning my lack of experience in things of this nature.

Something that can be a blessing and a curse.

A whisper from your lips roars in my subconscious.

“Mine,” he whispers. “Yours,” I breathe.

I had early access to the event Fresh, which features a lot of erotic and sensual adult items that runs until February 19th.  With the upcoming release of the movie 50 Shades of Grey right before Valentines Day it appears that the level and intensity of romance might go up several notches.
If you’re looking for a bed with a little kink this wood and neutral earth tones one that I’m showing here called the Spartan is from Michigan Shack and has a very extensive menu for you to play with. It can be found at the first round of the Perfect 10 event that runs until the 15th of February.
Enjoy your Saturday!

Nothing says home like the smell of baking.

Baking Sale

I survived the birthday party yesterday, well at least 2.5 hours of it.  Thankfully, it was held outdoors even if it meant bearing the cold wind.  I was wearing my leather jacket that rarely gets used so that kept me somewhat comfy.   Instead of what I would call more substance they had an assortment of crackers, hams, fruits and cheese to eat and one of my favorite wines moscato.  Just for that you could say it wasn’t so bad after all.  There was no traditional birthday cake.   In it’s place was this huge cookie cake that seems to be more popular these days that had gobs of chocolate chips in it. I took a sliver of it just to taste.

Now here I am baking up a storm in Second Life.  Shhh… I really got them yesterday at the pre-tasting of the Atelier Kreslo’s Farewell Bake Sale that opened today.   I am only showing a few of the goodies you can find at the bake sale.  While these cakes look absolutely yummy, personally I am more likely to take a serving or two of the creme brulee.

What’s that rumble?

On By AlexaIn Events, General, Home, Role-Play3 Comments

Is that him coming

I was going for the surprised shocked look of a child hearing the rumble coming through the fireplace except that due to a malfunction of sorts the Emoter HUD got stuck on two emotions at the same time and gave me this smile shocked expression instead.  This is why I have instead an impatient fearless child that anticipates Santa is about to arrive.

Some of the creators that participated at The Arcade during this round were very generous with their gifts that you can find under the large Christmas tree that sits in the middle of the Arcade.   Two of my favorite items were the milk and chocolate milk bottles and the plate of ginger pig cookies, which is just like one of our Mexican pastries  that looks exactly the same just a bit thicker.  They are called “Marranitos,” which translated means little piggies.
