To: My Love

HV 014

After reading an article that a friend shared with me about unrealistic valentine’s day expectations earlier today it’s a little disconcerting to share in the social pressures this day brings.  Is our expectations as women any different being in a virtual world?  Or men finding it like drudgery to do the expected? Hmm.. let’s pretend otherwise.

Like most women I like my significant other to express and show his love, except I am more inclined to be spontaneously surprised or shown in other meaningful ways then have it be proclaimed on a specific day.  It makes me recall one of my most memorable and never to be forgotten surprises when I logged in one day.  There were all these giant size arrows leading me to various areas around the land where other posters with pictures or sayings expressing their love and affection.  I melted and still do thinking about it.   I loved even the cartoon character with the arms crossed and pouty lips with the words “little miss stubborn” …. coughs…me stubborn?

All that said there was a funny quote that I found not too long ago that went something like this. We like a man with a past, but we like a present too.

Today I am featuring all these cute items from All The Little Things Event that runs until the 21st of February.  There is a lot of cute gacha items that are perfect for Valentine’s Day for both child and adult alike.

Surprise your loved ones!

Me thinks someone forgot to cut the grass.

The little me has taken on a new commitment to blog a few things each month for an event that features items for the  toddleeDoo given that I already do posts featuring items for this size. I did consider maybe creating a separate blog, though for now I am going to incorporate them with my regular posts.

The event is “All The Little Things” and the newest round is right around the corner starting on April 5th.  I’m showing this cute little unicorn bag and the fluffy plush unicorn that is hanging next to me by Little Llama.

Lets stand for something.

Tea Party Gang 004-1

I had a bit of a chuckle with this picture after I began to put things out to organize some kind of scene with the intent and purpose of showing the bears that BoOgErS created for this round of The Arcade.   As I grouped them around the table I realized it looked more like a town hall meeting at someone’s table than an afternoon tea party.  It’s probably due to the fact that I still have remnants in my mind of an old article I read over the weekend that dealt with the Tea Party Movement.

Have a great Tuesday!

Taking a stroll.

004

I had a particularly rough day that I needed to distract myself with something lighthearted and fun.   Bringing out my child alt gives me that in an odd way, not only the silliness of being in a small body, but she makes me laugh at myself as I’ve mentioned before and that’s enough to lighten the load somehow.

Nothing much then a simple picture of walking through the grass at home and on that note we’re calling it a day in both worlds.

In honor of Mexican Independence Day…

005

Today is Mexican Independence Day and I couldn’t go without honoring this holiday in some way. While it is something thought of and often acknowledged on this day, it’s not typically a holiday that many American born Mexican families in the USA celebrate.  That doesn’t mean we’re not proud of our heritage.  Most of us have a great appreciation for our Mexican culture and the homeland of our ancestors.  If anything we definitely enjoy our Mexican food.

Viva Mexico!!

The touch of a child

I couldn’t resist doing this last picture and thanking my in-world English sister who stepped in to help.

In my own story…

006 Tipping

As I sit here thinking about my title.  It sort of rings true that Second Life is really like starring in your own movie that you direct.  You get to create your own character and direct the story to a certain extent.  When I first started I remember teasing it was like starring in my own animated Disney movie and playing dress up.  As you can see I have just as much fun dressing up my child alt as I do dressing up my adult avatar.

004 In my own story

Even though today I’m just goofing.  It was fun putting together these cute “Inside the Story” items from 8f8 that are available at the Dreamers Factory event until the 22nd of August.
