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!
This past weekend I crossed the Florida Georgia line to head to a wedding and of course it made me think of this song so it became the theme of this post. Oh you don’t know the song? Well click this link to have a listen. I however was not in some south Georgia water, just some lovely SL water.
Everyone knows that after a swim you need to have some ice cream, mostly because I try to save my drinking for later in the day, unless it’s a mimosa, or…well I don’t need to get into every reason for day drinking. Just a heads up I may be taking a break till October because I will be getting hand surgery next week and who knows how well I will function.
That’s right my theme of Barbie continues today with a less than kid friendly Barbie. Though now that I think about it some of the Barbies my youngest used to play with did have some “adult” beverages included, at least it looked like that to me. Hmmmm…
This Barbie look it supposed to remind you of a 90’s grunge look, but maybe it’s just what I vaguely remember wearing in high school, minus the bottle of wine and cigarette. Okay to be fair I still wear ripped jean and boots on occasion and drink legally, but that is not the point. Oh hey look another picture!
I am going to stop rambling for today because it’s totally disjointed. I blame my cat for ruining my second cup of coffee by sticking her paw in it (it wasn’t hot anymore anyway).
I am going to start by showcasing the most talked about cow in all the fairelands and then moooove onto my adventures. Sorry I couldn’t pass up the chance at that pun. Now when I arrived at Fairelands Junction I followed the path to see the Worldlings since they are one of my favorite things. I have plans for a special photo with those later so stay tuned. I think I wandered counter clockwise as my faire alter ego of the day Emogene the Emo Elf.
As I was wandering I came across a bunch of dragon hatchlings, but I wasn’t about to stick around to see if the mama or papa would be returning soon. I didn’t want to be dragon chow before the faire really got going!
I continued on my way, and as I wandered I decided to play a special game. It was called “How many times can I mess up?”, and I decided to count the number of times I got lost, crashed, or just fell through things. For the record I was there for blogger day which is before the faire opens to everyone so there were growing pains that caused falling into spaces (only 4 times!) Now some fairelands are not for the faint of heart, or being high as a kite. I had surgery on my hip a little over a week ago so pain meds are my friends.
You can see how something like this would mess with your head. It still freaks me out a little if I am being honest. Now when I was at the fair there were a few sims that were still dressing and asked for no photos and I had to respect their wishes so there are some sims that will be a complete surprise. Then again so will these since I didn’t tell you which ones they are. Think of it as a special little scavenger hunt to keep you entertained as you shop and wait for the quest to begin!
There is one sim that has a genie and man that one was giving me issues. I am pretty sure the genie cursed my computer because every time I tried to get a photo of him my computer would glitch and crash (total number of cursed crashes 5). So I cheated and used a different computer and got a picture and then everything was fine. For the record it was an issue with my computer and not the sim.
You didn’t think I would not post a picture of the genie did you? After completing my battle with the genie I adventured onwards some more. I only got lost a three times which I think is a record low for me. Yes there are paths you can follow so you doing get lost, but I am likely to get distracted by anything that catches my eye and I wander off the path. A big bad wolf would have a field day with me, luckily I didn’t run into any of them…yet.
I don’t know what this fairy was going through, but man I was starting to feel her. As I stated earlier I had hip surgery recently so getting tuckered out is easy to do. Next week I will have a full round up of all the things I have done during the first week of the faire so stay tuned for that. Oh and let me know if you spot any of the places from my photos!
I promise this will be the last post that will reference the 80’s…at least for now. Though technically this one was inspired by the film Rock of Ages, which admittedly does heavily use 80’s tunes. Here we have me playing the innocent reporter and Manny Kinn playing the drunken rocker.
