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... 
Still time to get on with the cleaning... I do that and have time to dance with my Dancing Kittiens - from MishMish at Kustom9 until February 10th - they seem to be enjoying the music as much as I am...

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... There is so much going on in the world right now, and not just the wider world, my personal world is in chaos... I NEED to find a way to get myself some answers and calm my mind... I NEED someone to give me a little break... 

I am checking mysef into a cosy little place called Death Row for a while... It's not like the real place but it's a hotel that is themed and the bedrooms are supposed to be cozy, comfortable and padded... The people that mill around the corridors are dressed in a Sovereign Uniform Jacket and Hat - from Oracle, available until February 20th at Midnight Order - and gorgeously warm looking Borean Furs - from Static, also available at Midnight Order, and perfect with the Borean Gloves that match - and definitely rather sexy to make the stay seem daunting... They'd make interesting uniforms for a Dominatrix and maybe that's a new career path for me LOL... Anyway, she's ready, she's got her syringe ready and it's timefor her to put me to rest for a while!

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...
