Milk, Cookies & Cowgirls!

This weekend is Valentine's Weekend and that mean the world is filled with hearts and flowers and romance and sweetness... I am not really a sweet romance kinda girl, I love doing things with my hubby but we're definitely not a romantic pair... We tend to end up doing silly things that make us laugh more than anything... 
Still I'm going to try and get some cute, random, fun in before the holiday and that means after this week I'm done with romance LOL... 

So for today, now that I'm done with work, I'm going to spend a few days at the farm in RL doing a little bit of tidying up, I might also find myself a cute farm hand to enjoy a roll in the hay with. Either that or the cow girl in me will find a way to make sure there is some extra money earnt for the farm by being cute and setting up a kissing booth - which is actually part of the backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis. 
I took the whole cowgirl thing literally today - mostly because the outfit from miss chelsea, available until February 27th at Anthem - but it's cute and it's sweet and well... You know me I LOVE dressing up LOL!

Moving all that Emotional Baggage

This week and next are CRAZY busy weeks in my RL. From February 26th, HellBone and I don't have access to our house in RL because we are having some MAJOR rennovations done that are necessary and we HAVE to get things done. SO, HellBone and I are tidying, packing, sorting and prepping not only ONE but TWO places because luckily for us, my boss was willing to let us live on one of their properties... I have large amounts of anxiety over my roughly 6-month temporary relocation, but for now I'm just getting things ready... 

Every time I have a day off it's like the typical Moving Day scene - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - there are boxes and cleaning supplies and mess everywhere... It's not just the stuff though, it's all the emotional baggage that I'm carrying - represented so perfectly by The Bearded Guy's What I Carry box - that is making this harder. I am exhausted, I am running on high anxiety and I can feel the clock ticking in a count down to when we are needing everything done and ready by... The cat isn't helping too as she's stressing while the house empties around her and she screams at the top of her little lungs in the voice of her people... I wish there was more hours in the day, just a few hours more then I'd be able to have a proper dinner, rather than just some pizza in my mouth as I dash past... Although Mouth Pizza is flipping delicious...

Recharging the Harpies

Having one of those days where you need a little more magic in your life? I know that I have been feeling that way for a while now and I don't think there will be anything that I can get to happen anytime soon... 
So I'm going to have to get myself dragged into the Midnight Order and find the magic so that I can refind my own sparkle... 

The magic thats can only be found in the old Dany's Throne Room - a backdrop from K&S - is a draw to many that come to visit the Midnight Order. Today's visitor is one of the Galewing Harpies - with wings and jewels from aii at the current round of Midnight Order until February 20th - who has come to absorb some of the magic from the Leyline Table. It makes her glow, the halo glittering more as she recharges her magical batteries, I wish it was just as easy in RL...

Sandwiches for Dinner

It's the first of February and I have no idea about where this month will take me... I'm moving to temporary housing in a few weeks because we're having some massive rennovations done to our home. It's causing my anxiety to spike and therefore more stress is in the house than normal. I'm worried about everything and I'll be honest I don't really want to do much of anything, it's a difficult cycle to be in... For right now I'll stick to the easy decisions I need to make... Like what do I want for dinner?!

I would say that's one of the easiest questions but one of the hardest to answer, and there have been SO MANY TIMES I tend to debate with myself for hours... I NEVER know what I want and when there is something that I do want and I don't have it, or I don't want anything that I do have. 
One of my favourite things that has become dinner will always be a Sandwich, I could eat sammiches ALL day long, preferably with a side of chips and maybe a little vinegary... Today, the sammich of choice is a Reuben - thanks to Lucas Lameth - and although I've never had one I hear that they are pretty good, full of pastrami, melted cheese and apparently sauerkraut. Tonight, as it's a special occasion because I feel like it, I'm going to have a lovely bag of Puppy's Tasty Snacks Potato Chips - from MishMish for the Saturday Sale this weekend - and a delicious Snap'N'Dill pickle - from Tardfish - where each of the packages comes with a surprise inside...

Beasts Released!

Oh my gosh it's the end of January... Where did January go? Normally the month seems to go on forever and yet this year it was a blink and you miss it situation... 
Now though the Valentine's feelings are able to come in and cause epic amounts of chaos for a couple of weeks... The little naked flying babies have been released and they are on their way to earth BUT there may be a slight problem... A little error occurred in the release process... 

When the release button was pushed, it somehow unlocked other containment units at Cryptid HQ, and things that should have stayed locked away until the scary season have been released... Monsters that may cause Valentine's to become Anti-Valentines, and at this time it is unsure how many of these things were let loose... 
Now, never fear everyone, we have warned the illusive Secret Society that is the Midnight Order, and they will be working tirelessly to both assist our recapture efforts and provide distraction with their wonderful shopping experience... 
Now we just gotta play like they are Pokemon and catch 'em all...Just a shame we don't know how many got loose? This could cause chaos... Valentine's could either be cute or deadly... I guess we have to watch this space right?!

Sorry, but I'm Keeping the Ring!

It's almost the month of Love, well technically unlike Christmas or Halloween, Valentine's shouldn't get a whole month as it's halfway through and therefore we suffer less with it perhaps?! I shouldn't complain, I've had HellBone for the last 15 Valentine's but meh, it's such a boring holiday lol... 
All that trouble rejecting the (Non) Valentines that I get every year - it makes me laugh since I NEVER actually get one, even from the hubby - but it's such a chore LOL... I might as well get started early... 

Now I am no fool, I don't need all of these romantic gestures and gifts, BUT since the trouble was taken to choose and give me these things, it would be rude of me not to keep them and put them to good use... 
I'll write them a nice letter back and may even take pictures of me posing with some of the pretty gifts like this fabulous diamond ring that was sent as "The Promise" - which is actually a release from Boutique #187 for DUBAI until February 15th, and there are SO MANY different options for what you want the card to say... Such a fun idea for this time of year don'tcha think? - and it's a promise I'm going to have to make him break with a well written note of thanks...

My Disney Princess Moment!

It's been a day off for me and I've taken some time to look after myself and get some fun things done for me... I wanted to catch up on some blogging, play with some outfits and get some of my inventory sorted... 
I spent lots of time singing along, badly I might add, to a playlist of Disney songs and thus I was channelling my inner-Disney Princess... 

It helped that I spent a lot of time playing around today in some gorgeously pretty dressed, that I had picked up when I went to shop at the Midnight Order... That place is magical and the fashions are fit for the princesses amongst us... 
The Dolce Far Niente Gardens - a backdrop from K&S - is slowly shacking off it's Winter wear and the birdies are coming back in search of something delicious... So I took more of an opportunity to live my Disney Princess dreams and, even though I actually sounded more like Princess Fiona in Shrek, I had a little sing song with the birdies...

Prepping the Bad Magic before Valentine's

Ahhh Wednesday, thank fuck you're finally done for me and I have the day off tomorrow... I NEED to have some time to relax, although with the building preparations and having to pack umore stuff I think I have a lot more to do than I might have anticipated LOL.... 
For tonight I'm going to kick back and work a little magic... The month of the hearts and flowers and romance is alomost upon us and for the next couple of weeks everything will no doubt be full of Valentine's sweetness... I'm not a Valentine fan, can't it be Halloween again?! Perhaps I need to find a way... 

Now if there is one thing I do know is that Monster Smut is often a good way to enjoy the romance and seduction without things being too sickly sweet... Since starting my reading journey I've discovered a LOT of new things that are somewhat intriguing... 
I've decided to let the bood thirsty monster out of myself, I'm going to let her let her hair down and plan her Valentine season... No mush, no sickly sweet, not even a card, just dark Valentine funsies... She's already preparing herself, she's had something to drink and has been to see the magical beings of the Midnight Order - which runs until February 20th by the way - to pick up some Love Potion and a Blood Vial - from Ritual - so that she can get started...

Frozen treats for the Snowmen

There have been so many crazy things going on weather-wise lately, I mean at the beginning of January things got very, very cold and icy here in the Netherlands, and now it seems like it's the turn of large parts of North America. I have a lot of theories on things like the weather, and some of them are more set in logical thinking than others but my current one involves one of the biggest companies in the word and their new zone in a certain European theme park LOL... 
The cold weather pictures online from across the pond have definitely made me feel a little like playing in the snow though, and as much as I hated it while it was here, it's fine to enjoy when I don't have to live with it hehe... 

If you haven't heard, the European Disneyland also known as Dineyland Paris, is making announcing every where about the fact that before long they will be opening a new park zone dedicated to all things Elsa, Olaf and Anna, yes Arendelle is coming to Disneyland Paris... My theory is that since they are one of the richest companies in the world they paid some evil genius lots of money to get everyone into the Frozen spirit and took it literally LOL... Told you it was silly... 
Hence why today, I decided to throw on an Elsa-esque outfit and host a little tea party for the Friendly Snowmen - from MishMish - although there is no tea being served to avoid anyone melting. Instead of tea, we have lots of delicious Ice Creams and Sundaes.

Gummy Bears Don't Go THERE!

Sunday is always officially been the start of my weekend, for the longest time anyway... So what does any party girl like to do on her weekend... PARTY of course... A working week for me is often busy and stressful, and people irritate the everloving piss out of me, but that just wants me to let my hair down and go crazy... So for the party this weekend, expect some interesting shinanigans LOL... Maybe something involvin gummy bears lol... 

Random I KNOW, but that's just me and besides who doesn't love a good gummy bear... I was given a bag of Haribo Gummy Bears and they somehow became my inspiration LOL... 
So when I was being weirdly random and digging through my hoard to find something to wear over a pair of ripped fishnet stockings - that just happen to be a creation from Psycho Barbie, that comes with ripped and non-ripped BOM versions plus a pair of BOM panties - it could have been a look that went in any direction... Then I had a call, that lead to a game of playtime and a little bit of drinking, and before long kinkier things were happening than just a fun game with gummy bears... This MAY have lead to Gummy Bears being hidden in places that could have caused stickiness and SHOULD NOT be hiding places for candy...

A Weekend with the Class Pet!

As it's the weekend, many people have the next two days off...I've been working Saturdays in the cheese shop for  while so I am not one of them but come Sunday I can relax a bit or at least not have to go to work anyway LOL... Relaxing won't happen until we move into the flat for a few months... 
As a kid I ALWAYS loved when the school bell rung on Friday afternoon and it meant we had two days without school. There was always one thing that I'd heard about with friends in other schools though that we never had the experience of... Someone always had the luck of being able to take home the class pet... 

One of my friends even got to bring her class rat home once, I don't think that her mother was too pleased at having a rat in the house over the half-term holidays but it was fun to be able to see it for a while... SO in homage to that I decided that this weekend I'd be the one to bring the class pet home, since I was always a teacher's pet I think I deserve the treat don't you? 
I've packed up all my school supplies and I'm ready to head home, but I cannot forget to collect B-Rat-nee Spears - who is a Button Ears Dumbo Rat from Aardvark at the current round of ACCESS until February 8th - and I'm all set to go home!!!

Today is Cleaning Day!

It's been a day of cleaning and sorting for me today... Still so much to do before we have to move out of our house for 6 months. I'm stressing, and I'm wondering HOW we wil ever get things done... It's not just the packing and sorting, it's also the bloody basic chores that we have to do on a normal daily basis... It's just getting to be too much... I had to find a way to get through the drudgery...

For me there is only one way to get through the cleaning mundanity at the moment and that is some very loud cheesy music... I've been dancing around today listening to the old boyband classics... Take That, Boyzone, Five and many other of the original Brit boybands of the 90s and 00s... Take That will always be my true love, and if you've no idea who I'm talking about you're welcome to ask me any time. I'm going to see them again this summer with my mum, sister and cousin and I'm SUPER excited!!! I cannot wait...

Midnight Order Militia

It's January 20th, and that means that today OFFICIALLY the Midnight Order is opening it's doors once again and welcoming the magical spark back into our Second Lives... There is so much going on in the world right now, and I think we need a little magic, a little spark that will make things seem a little better...

KABOOM Loading... The Machine Uprising!

Today has been a day when it felt like the world went BOOM... I know there is SO MUCH going on in the world right now, we're teetering on the edge of some pretty bad times but I am also dealing with things in my RL situation that I've mentioned before but they are getting closer and more daunting day by day... 
Today we discovered the officialy starting date for the work on our home, I'm not looking forward to February 27th... It's D-Day... The day that my own little world will go BOOM... 

I needed to do something a little bonkers to make me feel a little less high-anxiety and thought maybe if the BOOM was able to happen, then I'd be able to relax... BOY, did that happen. I couldn't stop giggling as this picture came together on my screen... 
The outfit I wore as I set the flaming match to the fuse of my Bomb - a Boom Baby Holdable Bomb from piXit - was provided by the Division Union - actually the Division set released by AsteroidBox at Kustom9 - as part of my uniform for the resistance... Apparently the machines are coming to life, raising a little hell and I'm not just talking machines in the military... As I was sending out the Emergency Broadcast I had the shock of my life, there on the balcony of the office building, amongst other robots of varying shapes and sizes, was my Funky Fridge - from Junk Food - and my toaster!!!! It's an Armageddon of robotic proportions...

Exercise or Spring Rolls?

So a few posts ago I was all gun ho, full of excitement in planning things for the year. Working on getting through the year and maybe finding time for myself along the way... HOWEVER, like I said in that post, I am totally unreliable when it comes to getting exercising... I work SUPER hard every day, and know I should make time for exercise but I'm always running around so when I'm free I love to relax and rest... I've come to a new conclusion in life... It's like Krescendo read my mind... 

"My winter fat is gone. Now I have Spring Rolls" I mean I guess that it's half true, it's not gone it has just trasferred to being my Spring Rolls LOL... I know I'm a big girl in RL, I have no shame admitting that I'm not a skinny beam pole but I'm also not the kinda girl to go without jokes about it. I've always said I have more rolls than the supermarket... 
I gave up on working out and decided to find some food... Suddenly I have craving some Chinese Takeout - from Junk Food - I think I might have to get two portions of Spring Rolls...

The Right Shoes For The Job!

It's Friday night, I've just got home from work and for me I'm now in my jammies curled up on the sofa with a cuppa tea and my cat. I've had a long day and now I want nothing more than a chance to relax... I'm nearly 40 but by body is trying to tell me I'm closer to 70 it seems LOL... 
I work in retail, you may know that by now, but I often wonder how I'd feel doing another type of job... Rudh on the other hand has NO such issue... She is and will always be a bit of a hooker LOL... 

She's gotten to work wearing some GORGEOUS but comfortable shoes - the Bobby Shoes from AsteroidBox at the current round of ACCESS - and into something a little more fitting for her work as a dancer in the strip club on this lovely Friday Night. Slipping into the corridor of the dance hall, shaking the glitter off all over the floor and bypassing all of the props that are stashed in the crates just inside the door, the girls are able to grab their shoes and even grab a new pair of panties from the Panti-o-matic...

What Can I Getcha?

I should stop taking the time to work on blog pictures when I am hungry, at least that's what I try and tell myself but I'm not sure how well that will ever work. I tend to start working on something bloggish before I've even had my breakfast in the morning and then I get distracted, PLUS I love collecting food in SL. I guess it's one of my guilty pleasure collections, and I own up to my collecting addiction... If I ever get bored in SL, maybe I should open a diner... 

You'd be welcomed in with a smile and a "Welcome to Rudhie's Retro Yums Diner"... The menu would be filled with some super delicious delights. I am partial to a burger, whether that is a Chicken Burger - like the one from Junk Food which is central in the picture - or a Hamburger - on the right from Lucas Lameth, the 1950s Diner Burger - or even perhaps a hugely stacked Club Sandwich - also from Lucas Lameth - with a side of fries or chips, crisps if you are like me and a little bit British... I'd serve cold sodas and thick shakes, hot coffee and fancy teas in tea pots... I might even serve cake, it's have to be cake because I'm a cake rather than pie kinda girl... 
Are you hungry? What can I getcha?

Trouble Under The Sea!

When I get a random idea for a blog post they tend to be the ones that make me smile the most. I will always admit that half the time when I start a picture I have NO idea where it will go or what the outcome will be but I have to say that these are the pictures that make me happiest. The entire reason that I blog is a chance to forget the world around me and find a little happiness, so the ones that make me laugh most are the best for me... 

Today was one of those days, and so while I was putting my ideas together I decided to go for a little swim and see where the ideas went... 
I was wearing a bathing suit - which is actually an amazing outfit from Psycho Barbie called Narkissa that ISN'T a bathing suit but looked perfect as a wetsuit, and I'm sorry to the Psycho Barbie team for misuse of their clothing lol - and splashing around in the water. I took a deeper dive down into the water and that was when the trouble went from barely there to TERRIBLE. I guess it may well be my own fault though as I have to stop myself reading so much of that monster smut LOL...

Bang Bang!

I wonder sometimes when I watch movies, especially the action kind, would I prefer to be on the side of the hero or the villain. When I was a little girl - and I'll not hide that it is still true now I'm a big girl too - I was always on the side of the hero, especially in the case of the Disney films that I chose. For example, I LOVE the Little Mermaid, and when I was a kid I wanted to be Ariel, now that I'm an old lady I feel more aligned with Ursula... So perhaps when I grew up I was destined to feel more like I'm hiding a villain deep inside, although plenty of people will tell you I'm a good girl... 

So I don't know about you but when I start working on a blog post I NEVER know where I'm going to bewhen I finish it. Ideas never seem to come easy and when they do form it's like magic... I'm not as creative as some people, and I'm not as able to creative such high quantities of blog posts as I'd like but to think that what I do makes others smile as much as they do me...
Today's post randomly came to me when I was thinking about things to do with Villains... I pulled on a look and for some reason I ended up with a weird Gotham style feeling... Maybe I'll make a Batman adversary, maybe I'll be able to be in league with the Joker...

Asking for my Fortune

At the start of every year, people always seem to be asking me whether or not I've made any new years resolutions. Some years I try to, and others I tend not, but then this year I HAVE made one and it's a very loosely set one. It could be interpreted in lots of different ways, and I'm quite happy to keep it open and flexible... I'm going to put more faith in the fortune telling machines than any resolutions though... 

The Fortune Teller - a release from Krescendo for the still running round of The Fifty until January 20th - may not give me the yearly resolution that I could work towards but their fortunate suggestions are just ambiguous enough that maybe they will help me out, a little?!

A Little Spiritual Magic

I still feel the need for a little magic and since the Angel sacrifice helped to stop the snow and melt away what snow there was, I heard things about weather warnings and so I NEED MORE Magical interferrance so that the snow stays away and that I can get to and from work safely for the next few days... 
I'm going to reach out to some of the other spirits and see if I can get a little more help... 

The Spirit that I have found today happens to be a Soul Spirit and they have a lot more influence on the world around them than you might think... The Mask Soul worn on her face - is a mask from BeSpoke - hides the way she's really feeling but her magic is all-encompassing. She can work her magic to help everything from luck, love and in my case, even the weather... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Tableau Vivant - Editorial in Laying Funky
Mask: BeSpoke - Mask Soul in Wisp

Angellic Sacrifice

So today I had to have the day off for a Snow Day, the busses couldn't run and tomorrow I'll be home again which is giving me a chance to feel a little more rested and lot less nervous. Though I will say that the thought of going out in the snow instantly causes my anxiety to appear and I start feeling a little sick on the inside... Friday I have to go to work, Friday is a whole day away, while I have the day at home, I am going to spend the day hoping beyond all hope that the snow clears up so that it's NOT slippery on Friday... 

I don't know if the weather spirits will be able to help but I think that maybe I'll have to find a way to ask those in a higher power... No matter which of the dark gods is there and willing to help, I'll take any help... I'll leave them any kind of gift that they want, I'll sacrifice the Angels so that I can make it into work safely without slipping on Friday and Saturday... I can't not go to work again, I'm letting other people down and I HATE that, and on top of the feelings I am already dealing with, the thought of going out where it's slippery is just the knock my anxiety needs... SO, lets summon the dark gods and light the candles, as a Wax Witch - which happens to be the name of the candles worn on Rudh's shoulders from Static, available until January 18th at The Warehouse - has chained an angel into their magical ring and now we wait...

Work Out Treats!

Today I was back to working... I want to say working out but actually it was just work plain and simple... I mean it WAS a nightmare to get to work, and involved a lot of me being overly cautious about getting to work which in itself was a workout, yet working out in truth it was not... AND when I did get to work, I allowed myself to have a happy, little treat... 

I have never been one for working out, I have always been good at doing things to keep myself busy but as for doing exercises I'm useless at it... The only time I'd do any stretches would be to reach out for something delicious to eat. 
Rudh has the right idea, going for a work out in her Home Gym - which happens to be a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - and while she's doing her exercises, she has to practice her balance as she reaches into her Donut Bag - from Junk Food - and grad herself more than one of the sweet, iced treats...
