That sweet feeling called love

DaD 044

I’m posting later in the day than I like as time just seemed to run away from me today and it’s the first time I’m getting to sit at the computer.  Today I am featuring the latest creation by DaD Designs, which is the Sun Forest Cottage home.  It’s a lovely cottage centered on a vintage / shabby chic theme.  It basically has two large rooms, one separated by a wall with an opening giving it three rooms altogether. The porch has a glass roof top with leaves that can be changed by touch and you get nine colors to give you the season you want.

I have included some additional pictures at the bottom and details on the house from the creator to give you the view from the front of the house and the inside. It’s currently available at Shiny Shabby.

Enjoy the rest of your Monday!

A hearty breakfast is always good to get you going

Stop w the Lecture 010

It’s not very often that I see my second life sister these days.  Catching her still up when I logged in yesterday morning was timely as I asked her to come an enjoy a virtual breakfast with me so that I could take a picture to blog.

She’s good like that. I told her it looked like she was giving me a lecture, which she would in a heartbeat if she thinks I’m misbehaving.

I thought we should finish eating, because that breakfast was too good to pass up.

Memories of you always make me smile

Snapshot_018ps2
Today I’m simply doing a tribute to my father to celebrate his birthday. It’s been 6 years since dad passed and more then ever I miss him terribly.

Dad loved old cars and would from time to time share a long ago memory of some vehicle he drove or owned. The belair was one of those vehicles so when I saw this version recently it was a given that I needed to get it. It’s about the right size as he liked big cars.

His other love was music and dad played the accordion from a young age up until his last days.  I’ve showed this accordion on a previous post remembering my father and it just wouldn’t be right if I didn’t bring it back out to use as this was his passion. It’s not the same kind of model as his were always the button and not the piano variety.

That Texas marquee was another must have and no it’s not because all my exes live in Texas…well just one! My Dad who grew up in Texas would have chuckled at that as he was a bit of a jokester himself.

Today is a little hard for me not being close to home to take him flowers personally, but I know he wouldn’t want me to give it a second thought. Easier said then done.

Feliz Cumpleaños Papi! 

 

 

Breathing in the moments of yesterday.

Little B 0132

When I created this scene I was thinking of my father as today is the anniversary of his passing.  The orange trees created by Little Branch for this round of Shiny Shabby remind me of the time he took us out to an orange grove with him.  I vaguely remember it now.  Every so often when he was in between music gigs he would drive trucks or find some odd job.  One of his friends managed this grove and dad thought picking oranges would be easy.  I smile at the memory now and the retelling of this story even years later.  Dad was a hard worker, though this type of laborious work just wasn’t in him.  I don’t know how many of those tubs he filled before he hauled us all out of there, but it wasn’t long.

I live in Florida so seeing rows of orange trees is almost an every day thing as they line the roads I travel to and from work.  It’s nice to be able to share them here even on this anniversary of my dad’s passing as I honor his memory.

Happy Memorial Day.

You’re the apple of my eye.

Apple of My Eye 004On Flickr earlier I saw a post with a statement letting men and women alike know they were not in SL for a relationship or to talk about their real life… so basically stop trying to come on to them.  I guess someone might take the time to read through your profile and then go on their browser to get to your Flickr and scroll through all the pictures and hopefully come upon that post before instant messaging you.  Maybe.

In the four years that I’ve been in Second Life I have had my share of both sexes also come on to me.  I can’t say that’s been the case in the last year or so at least not in a reoccurring basis and perhaps it’s because I spend a majority of my time just attending shopping events and on my own land.

Though in the last week I’ve had at least two incidents that were not in the most pleasant manner.  The first was at a store on a moderate sim while I was waiting for the building and vendor to completely rez when I get a message “hi sexy slut,” which took me by surprise.  I choose to ignore it as opposed to enter into any type of chat with this man moron.  I ended up crashing and logged back in at home to find a new message with an invitation to join this person at some mature island.  To say the least not a compliment.

The second was at a shopping event and someone said hello.  I was not in the mood for idle conversation and so I choose not to respond, hoping if I didn’t reply the person would deem that I was not interested in chat and move on.  I know it takes courage for someone to reach out to you to just even to say hello and generally I am never rude to ignore anyone when they’re just being friendly.  I closed the box and continued to scan around the event location when another message pops up from the same person with a… “you have a nice chest.”  I literally rolled my eyes knowing full well that my assets were covered and closed the message box and went home.

In either of those situations I can’t imagine any woman responding to that in a positive way much less feeling they’ve been complimented.

So I hope that very public statement does the trick, because both parties failed to look at my profile pick where it says I’m not easily impressed and I’m not available.

On that note….

We need to teach our daughters to know the difference between: 
…a man who flatters her and a man who compliments her
…a man who spends money on her and a man who invests in her
…a man who views her as property and a man who views her properly
…a man who lusts after her and a man who loves her
…a man who believes he’s a gift to women, and a man who believes she’s a gift to him
And then we need to teach our sons to be that kind of man.
