Somehow I lost my sidebar on the front page of the blog and after an hour of trying to figure it out I lost all the settings and the sidebar totally disappeared from the rest of the pages.  I’m no expert to this technical stuff and when it begins talking lingo I don’t understand my head gets all muddled up and I quickly lose focus.  Hopefully, I will get some time later this afternoon to figure it out or get some help to get it back up.

I have my six month follow-up with the oncologist today.  It’s been a bit nerve-racking this weekend thinking about it though I feel very good about what the outcome will be.  Though it’s always good when it’s done and over with.

To distract myself I sorted out the stuff from the Fantasy Gacha Carnival that I purchased and after some trading managed to get some final pieces to complete sets.  Just showing one of my favorite sets from this round.

Have a great day!

Santa come sooner

Just showing another ideal winter scene, even though I would wager shoveling snow doesn’t look this easy.  I can’t say that my memory stretches far back to this age as a child to what I might have been like waiting for Christmas to arrive.  Though considering that I’m known to be a little impatient at times (smirks a little) it is likely that this would probably have been me waiting and thinking… when are you going to get here Santa!
Happy Thursday!

I was short on time this morning, and was only able to post on Flickr before having to rush off for a morning meeting.  I have about fifteen minutes before I have to rush off again to meet a friend for lunch.  I figured that in that time I can get this done.  This is my first snow scene in Second Life all the while it’s only relatively cool with weather in the mid sixties today here in my real world as I type this.  It’s a small cold front we’re having as our normal weather is usually high seventies or low eighties.

When I thought of doing something snowy with the Christmas feel I thought of Norman Rockwell scenes.  I have always loved his work of portraying American life through his paintings.   I have been in Florida most of my life with only small stints of living in other parts of the US like a year in California and another year in Washington state.  The latter being where I experienced snow probably for the first time that I can remember when I was like seven years old.  Outside of that I have seen snow only on a few other occasions like in upstate New York while on a business trip and a family vacation in the mountains of Tennessee.

This would be my ideal snow scene.

It’s been a long day that began too early for me to make a breakfast engagement at 7:30 a.m.  I’m a night owl and getting up before the crack of dawn isn’t my favorite thing to do or eating so early either.  Somehow  I managed to eat eggs, bacon, hash browns and a pancake to boot.   I was ready to take a nap once I got to work from that overload of food!

It’s a short week for most of us here in the US with Thanksgiving, which means everyone is scrambling to get things done.  I meant to post this early if I got an opportunity… that just didn’t happen.

If you missed these South Asian pillows and rugs when they were available at a past Genre event you can find them now at the [CIRCA] store.  I love all the colors and the texturing is excellent, clear and the details are stunning.  The pillows comes with several poses and I think both the rugs and pillows can work with many decor styles.

I tried something a little different and that is using a texture as a background and then just added some light in a couple of places.  I much prefer setting up a scene or going on location though using this method can be useful at times.

Happy Thursday!

“Love is like war; easy to begin, but very hard to stop.” ~ H.L. Mensken

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

{chorus from “Stop! In the name of love” song}

I was messing around yesterday in inventory with my child alt nearby as I transferred over things to her.  Somewhere doing that I got the notice that Genre was now open and decided to take a break and go over to take a look before the crowd rushed in.  This round focuses on post apocalypse and not really my thing, but I found the warrior breastplate top sort of funny and purchased it along with a few other items pictured.

I had no idea what I was going to do and now I’m just laughing at the outcome.

I’m showcasing a few things that can be found at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival event.  [MeshedUp] has this headdress that is a ultra rare and can be found in colors green and salmon.  The rest of the set includes the armlets and belt, which are common and the necklace that is rare.  Great pieces to accessorize any role-play outfit.  The rest of the items I am wearing can be found below in the credits and its a mixture of the current fantasy events.

Finding myself a bit lost these days and needing to once again find that part of me that resonates this picture is fitting.  Just in reflecting back on the last several years and realizing that there has been tremendous changes that have taken place.  The kind of changes that force you to also change in some way. The loss of my father, one of my younger sisters having cancer and even my own health scare with cancer.  If that wasn’t enough even major work changes and recent situations that leave me feeling a need to readjust once more.

Eventually, everything connects.

Here is some wisdom.

An old Cherokee told his grandson, “My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil.  It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego.  The other is Good.  It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy and truth.”

The boy thought about it, and asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?”

The old man quietly replied, “The one you feed.”

Alexa & Claire

During this round of Enchantment one of the prizes if you completed a stamp card was this long hair from Tableau Vivant.   It comes with lots of color choices, so not a bad prize at all.   My friend Claire and I really liked this hair so we decided to take some photos together.  I was shooting for the Latina Rapunzel except black in this hair didn’t look very good on me.

I’m also the proud owner of the llama that’s next to me thanks to Claire.  It’s absolutely cute and you just wear it and it walks right along side of you. You can find them at the ongoing school festival.  I still have not been able to complete this event, each time I go its pretty full and it lags me terribly that it’s impossible to even look.
