Gift Giving

I am one of those people who loves to find, or make, the perfect gift for people. And I am one of those people that shops year round so that by the time Christmas rolls around I have a mini stockpile of gifts. This tends to look like overkill to some.

And I will occasionally forget a gift or two need to add it to the pile quickly. Listen it’s not my fault I am forgetful and shop year round. There have been times that I have found Christmas presents in my closet months after. In my defense they were video game themed socks so they weren’t something “big”.

Now we are ready to kick off this holiday, not that we weren’t before. Now time to spread some holiday cheer with gifts and to make some cookies too!

Corn Maze

Go to a corn maze, it will be fun they said. Sure it’s all fun and games till you get yourself all turned around and start thinking of the minotaur and his labyrinth. Maybe that is just me and my recent delve into all sorts of mythology. In all honesty in the non-digital world I am pretty good at corn mazes, but then again they do give you an aerial view of the maze.

In SL however I get lost easier than, well something very easy. For example I get lost several times at The Fantasy Faire each year and at some other events too. It can be a bit daunting as you can see from the look I have going on here. Or maybe I am just trying to show off my pumpkin-y manicure.

Hanging the Stars

Yesterday I was a Sun Goddess and today we are channeling the night sky. The tattoo may be the moon goddess one, but I couldn’t choose between the moon and the stars so I went with both. Maybe she is in charge of the new stars in the sky that create the constellations. One of which I learned about during a lecture, talk, history lesson, whatever you want to call it during the faire. I will talk about that in my weekly round up post probably tomorrow. For today how about a closer look at that tattoo ( I went halo-less this time)

I think if I had to choose between releasing the sun and hanging the stars I would choose the stars. The sun doesn’t really change all that often but stars, those are more every changing and in constant flux so your job would never be the same. Granted I am not well versed in all the celestial bodies and could be speaking out my bum. Either way I would make a fabulous star sticker outer and even more so if I looked like this!

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate today and Happy Thursday (or whatever day it is you are looking at this). I know I have been lax in my postings lately, but RL has been a busy one this year, in good and not so good ways. Since it is Thanksgiving for me I thought I would share what I am thankful for this year. I am thankful for my family, and that my dad is still with us and fighting his cancer. To be completely honest we didn’t think he would make it to Thanksgiving, but we are more than grateful that he is. Friends, who are there for me during the rough and dark times and there to celebrate all the wonderful moments with me as well. I am thankful for the good fortune that allows me to have a roof over my head and food in my belly. Oh and my cats, all four of them. Even the little kitten who has left no part of my unscratched. And coffee, because without that I would get even less done in a day, and be a terrible crank while not doing anything. Last, but certainly not least I am thankful for you! If no one has told you today that they love you and are happy to have you in their life, well consider it done. I love you and am happy you are here!

Now that I have given you enough cheese to make you lactose intolerant have some credits.

Cooling Off

Somedays you just need to toss yourself into a kiddie pool, clothes and all! It’s one of those hot and humid days when all you want to do is cool down, no matter what it takes. I do not have a pool of my own in RL, but there is one in my complex but outside is where the sun lives and we have a love/hate relationship. I love the sun, it makes me happy, the sun on the other hand hates me with a burning passion (that is a fancy way of saying that I burn easily)

Normally I am not a rose all day kind of girl, but in the heat of the summer I will drink just about anything as long as it’s cold. And while it may not be a drink per se, I will also eat boozy popsicles, like the blueberry-grapefruit-gin one I got from a local food truck/ice cream truck recently. As an asides I do not recommend eating a boozy popsicle on an empty stomach unless you want a quick, cool buzz. If you hadn’t guessed I am finally home from my epic adventure and will hopefully be back to posting regularly now. Have a wonderful day my loves ♥

Celebrating

So this is what happens when two friends get high together, silly photos and fun ensue. I mean to be fair it was already 4/20 for one of us and it wasn’t me. Though by the time we parted it was for both of us, so there is that. Now I know there are some out there that from on the use of jazz cabbage, but no one needs that kind of negativity in their life. Just say no to Captain Buzzkill. All kidding aside I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful day whether you blaze up or not.

And because I am vain here is a picture of my outfit and appropriate accessories.

Cheshire Cat Smile

It almost feels like I am having an Alice in Wonderland moment this week. First a rabbit and today I am looking all stripey like a Cheshire Cat. At least the Disney cartoon version of the Cheshire Cat.

Not a wordy post today because my brain has decided to take a vacation, so onto the credits!

Bunnies Don’t Share

I make a mean bunny, I mean look at me standing there with my bunny brethren not even thinking about sharing my delicious strawberry cake. Peter Rabbit would be so miffed! To be fair only one really seems keen to try my strawberry cake, but that still doesn’t mean I will share.

Just look at him over there pretending he doesn’t want to steal one of my ripe strawberries. I am totally on to you Mr. Bunny! Maybe it’s because I am more jackalope than bunny that I am not into sharing…

Cluelessly Walking Into The New Year

I feel like the new year has sprung up from behind a bush and caught me off guard. There has been a lot of ups and downs in 2021 so here is hoping 2022 is a little less…just less.

And if 2022 doesn’t want to play nice, then may your coffee be strong and if life decides to f#$% with you, I hope it uses plenty of lube.

Shipwrecked

Somedays the idea of being alone on an island in really appealing to me, but then reality sets in and I remember I have no survival skills. When I saw this outfit I got Marianne vibes, you know that lady from Gilligan’s Island? No? Well go forth and Google dearest and you will get the idea. So it’s not identical, but you understand how I came to the idea.

Of course when one is stuck on an island the only thing there is to do is make a coconut drink. Hopefully you have some rum or something on hand to make it a little more…more.If anyone knows of an island with great food and drinks and very few people let me know! I could really use a nice vacation.
