I wanna be an Easter Feaster!

Easter Monday has always felt like a weird one for me, WHY is there a second day of Easter? I know that for religious reasons Good Friday is supposed to be the day he died, and Easter Sunday was when he was resurrected don't ask me for more details I don't know a lot more than that, I'm sorry... Yet, WHY IS EASTER MONDAY A THING? I'd never complain about extra days off work but hmmm... Christmas has a second day, which we often refer to as Boxing Day - and yes I KNOW the historical reason for that in the UK at least - Easter has two days... When can we start having time off for two days of Halloween?! 

Yet I guess it's just another day to relax, spend time with family or friends, or even on your own like I did a lot of today, and enjoy the treats of the day before just a little bit longer... Easter Monday was always a time to enjoy the eggs that I didn't get to eat on Easter Sunday because we'd spent it at our Grandparents as a little kid... Mum and Dad used to make an excellent family lunch and it was better than the day before because we could be relaxed and not expected to be on our best behaviour lol... 
I wanted an Easter feast for lunch today... I think I got a little carried away. I made sure there was Easter Cakes - thanks to Junk Food - some delightful little Butterfly Sandwiches - from Lucas Lameth - which really helped with the Spring feel to lunch, and even some Hot Cross Buns - from vespertine - that happen to be some of my favourite Easter treats from home... There was plenty of chocolate and loads of eggs too... Perfect for the picnic that I set up on the table in the garden... So perfect that even the little birdies came to visit and join in the fun...

Welcoming the Easter Bunny!

Happy Easter Sunday, it's Easter, it's Zombie Jesus Day and it's the day when chocolate for breakfast is actually required rather than frowned upon... 
I used to love Easter Sundays because Mum would play the game of being our Easter Bunny and hide mini chocolate eggs all over the house and then invariably my sister and I would not only be finding eggs all morning but we would find them randomly for the next few months too LOL... I'm not a religious girl, but would never turn down a chance to find chocolate everywhere... 

Since I'm a little bit too old for being allowed to hunt chocolate eggs, although Hell did provide me with some delicious Cadbury's Mini Eggs this morning, but the only way I'd be getting on the fun would be via the chance to slip into a little Easter Bunny moment of my own... Thank goodness for being able to do just that in Second Life hehe...
There's a whole garden in Silverlake Meadows - which is a gorgeous backdrop from FOXCITY, that is available for a few days longer at Kustom9 - where the Easter Eggs - from Simply Shelby - are found resting between the Grass rabbits and their living counterparts, which because it's a fairytale realm come in candy painted rainbow colours...

Time for a Rest

Day off today and I know that tomorrow and Saturday are likely to be madhouse situations... I am NOT looking forward to working at the shop when it's going to be crazy busy but it is Easter and therefore should be busy enough that the day will go faster, I mean I hope at least... Today though I decided to take a few hours to just let myself rest up and relax in preparation... 

I took the long way through the gardens but eventually made it to the inner sanctum, or the halls of Rosethorn Manor - which happens to be a backdrop from FOXCITY that is just totally and utterly GORGEOUS - which happens to be a quiet place within the cavernous, mysticism of the Engine Room and decided to sit for a moment... Boots were kicked off, prosthetic legs - which are an AsteroidBox release for Second Life Syndicate's Engine Room until April 20th -  were rested on the arm of a Captain's Lounge Chair - a set of furniture created by LORE for Engine Room by the way - and as I listened to the soft classical music being played by the radio - the "Aetherys Lux" Radio from Duplexity for Engine Room - I felt myself falling asleep...

Ordered the Burger Surprise!

I spent sooooo much time working on chores today, I couldn't get myself into the right brain to think about much more than getting through the cleaning. I'm trying to wrap myself up in things that are avoiding the guilt of not being present to help over the Easter Weekend, but I have to keep reminding myself that I AM allowed to have time off since I'm working Friday and Saturday... Let the guilt go, seriously I'm working my shifts and the fact that I'm living here shouldn't be  reason to worry about not helping downstairs... Rant over... For now I think?! 
Now onto the more prominent task... What is for dinner?! 

Burgers it is... I fancy something gross and greasy and fastfood would be perfect. Nothing like a little Junk Food to make a girl feel a bit better about her grumpy mood... 
I'll head to the California Burger bar, and grab myself a delicious cheese burger... I was NOT actually expecting the surprise that followed. The burger attacked me... It was a Surprise Attack... A delicious but wonderful surprise attack... Things got a little saucy, a little cheesy but it was all in good fun!

For The Matrix

The world we are living in right now seems like it's falling apart... I know that we all have our own problems in life but has anyone tried to turn off the world simulation that the minds behind the matrix are currently running and restart it again, because apparently somewhere the code isn't up to scratch?! Someone unplug themselves from the simulator please and check to see what is going on back there?

I know that the Engine Room is a steampunkish magical event and that steampunk outwardly does not look like it could hande something as futuristic as the control of the simulation that runs our daily lives, but you know what they say... Never judge a book by it's cover... Behind the hidden doors of the Engine Room runs some extremely powerful, hidden magic... Magic that could ensure the world runs as it should. I'm sure the mainframe of the Matrix is back there. I NEED to break through and find out if it can be restarted so we can get some peace?!

Leave me alone... I'm Reading!

After a day like today I want to do nothing more than tell the world to sod off.. I want to be left alone somewhere I'm surrounded by books, without anyone near me and the only thing I have to wonder about is WHAT am I going to read...

I long for the kinda days I used to hate... The days when our school required us to spend anhour lesson a week in the library reading all kinds of different books... I wish I could go back to that, rather than working my arse off as an adult... Being an adult is majorly overrated!!!
Also can I just take a moment to say... I FREAKIN LOVE THIS OUTFIT!!!! A pair of Aika Pants - from AsteroidBox at Kustom9 until April 10th - and the coolest looking shirt and tie combo - from amiable - it's like the best version of a school uniform that I never had!!!

Once again you might be able to guess that I have had a day off today because when I am free I tend to get creatively creative LOL... I find a sparkle and something just magically clicks and magic seems to happen...

She decided to meet us on the bridge of the Everlasting Story - a backdrop from K&S - she posed in the moonlight as she danced in the moonlight, conjuring up a little more magic while the power of the Engine Room thrummed through Second Life...
