Let’s take our hearts for a walk and come back taller than the trees

“It’s the little moments each day that you spend with those you care about, that truly matter and count.”

Winter 031

Having skipped the weekend giving myself a little blogging break to do some other things I’m going to shoot for a second post today.

I can’t remember how long I’ve been a fan of eXxEsS hair and have blogged a few styles in the past as part of my outfits.  I’m thrilled to now be a part of their blogger team and look forward to showing more awesome hairstyles in the future.  I love the casualness of this hair and the feel it gives of the hair flying naturally with the wind. Hera is mesh hair and comes with a fairly extensive color selection by Hud.

The top and jeans are from MoDANNA and are currently available at the FROST event that runs from December 13th to January 3rd.  You will find both of these every day wear items in several colors.

Lil me is wearing this festive holiday hoody by PuddleSplash, which is now at the All The Little Things event that runs until December 21st.  You’re bound to find all sorts of fun things for the little ones.

Now for some festive fun decor.  The sleigh that comes with animations for two people, is available in silver and gold in both the light and dark wood tones. Due to the fact that my avatar is slightly taller than normal size I had to do a slight modification of the rope, which I raised to fit accordingly.  It can be done by using the edit linked feature in the edit menu.  The sleigh and the igloo are both from In My Cloud and can be found at The Mid Winter Fair that will run until the end of the month.  The snowflakes and star decor is by Una and also available at the Mid Winter Fair in gold and silver.

The last items that I’m featuring today are the trees by Little Branch, which are available at the new round of the LTD Event that runs until December 26th. These trees are 4 seasons, meaning that by the touch of the menu you can pick the season you want to create in your Second Life.

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.

I must have had too much wine at dinner, because I came online later in the evening and got to setting up this complete living room set that Aphrodite Shops has at this round of the Season’s Story.  Processed the picture and then proceeded to remove everything and it wasn’t until I picked up the walls that I saw the two art frames that must have gotten buried in the walls when I positioned it.  I’ll just say the wine was delicious.

One of the cool features of this set is that the sofa converts into a bed when you use certain animations.  I think that’s a great concept and works if you have limited space and prims and want the features of both a sofa and a bed.   It’s also great for role-play when you have family and friends visiting and they want to spend the night.

Other news is that today is when you can get a ton of shoes for the two for one deal for the 21Shoe event.  Like these brown pair of heels I’m wearing by KC Couture.   You can find all the information on the web site including the landmark to each location and remember this event is only for 24 hours.

Happy shopping!

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.

The melody still rings in my ear.

Those feelings 099

In a few days it’s my real life birthday and I’ve been contemplating a lot of things lately in my life.  The age thing doesn’t bother me.. it’s more just pondering on stuff that has happened and did not happen by the time I reached this age.   A fellow blogger participated in this past Monday’s meme that dealt with finishing off some I statements and I told her she could have almost written mine.  They sort of fit in with my thoughts of late, so I thought of giving it a go.

I am… perhaps too stubborn at times to my own detriment
I want… to sometimes escape from every responsibility that I have
I have…more to be thankful for than not
I wish…things were less complicated at times
I hate… injustice
I fear… losing myself and losing loved ones
I search… for everything on Google
I wonder…far too many things
I regret… not having children
I never… will cook as good as my mom
I always… try to keep learning in some way
I usually… want to know the logic behind it
I dance… awkwardly no doubt
I sing… great to my ears
I often… procrastinate more than I should
I sometimes… over think and analyze
I cry… more easily now
I need… to restructure some things in my life
I should… become less of a hermit
I love… O.o

There’s a story in her eyes.

Fallen Angel

“Study me as much as you like, you will never know me.  For I differ a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes, and see me as I see myself.  Because I have chosen to dwell in a place you can’t see.” ~Rumi

Remarkable Oblivion really did a fantastic job with these wings and I was tempted to get them all. Though a girl can only have so many wings in her closet.  I am definitely not vying to be more of an angel. Just something fun that I played with and just showing the cut off version that shows the face much closer as opposed to more legs.

Have a great Sunday!
