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...

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!

Skellington's Christmas Sciences!

Well we've made it to December, the festive season is officially starting and it's all beginning to look a lot like Christmas... I am not feeling very festive at all, and there is a lot more things for me to be worried about and on edge over at the moment, I'll be fine and will hopefully find the Christmas spirit somewhere... 
At the moment I feel a little like Jack Skellington when he was trying to discover Christmas for himself... 

I guess I was thinking about that when my mind was putting together my picture idea today... 
Jack Skellington's home came to mind, the day after he was starting his scientific search for Christmas secrets. I wanted to create something like my dark little mind trying to find the sparkle of Christmas, the magic that comes with all of the decor and treats and fun of Christmas... There was a little elf getting in the way, and my dark little minions decided to lock him away, but there could be a breakthrough...

Pineapples!

I don't very often get cravings for things, I tend to allow myself to always have a little of what I want because if I start craving something and eventually get my hands on things, then I will eat far too much and end up feeling yucky... On hot days like this, I am drinking so much water but I like to eat something salty so that it helps as I'm sweating. I don't tend to go for something sweet...
Fruit is delicious but I get picky and go through phases of what I want... There is a fruit on my mind at the moment... PINEAPPLE! 

I am not  HUGE pineapple fan, I have to say I don't love it, and it certainly doesn't belong on pizza, but when it's hot and summery, there is just something about Pineapple that makes me want lots of it... 
Rings, Sticks, Crushed into icy drinks or pulped into Ice Cream... Everything is going to be so delicious... The smell of the delicious pineapple is even luring in the little pineapple fae... Aren't they cute?!

Cutting Board: Junk Food - Pineapple Tray

Mexican or Tex-Mex?! It All Tastes GREAT!!!

Today is important for a few things... In the Netherlands it's Freedom Day, the day liberation from Nazi occupation in 1945, so the whole country is celebrating. It's also an important day for the Mexican's who are celebrating their victory against the French in 1862... Now I will totally be the first to admit that I'm NOT at all sure of anything relating to this important day for the Mexicans, but I'd love to learn... Maybe we should make a little fiesta of it... 

Now OK I will also admit that I'm not sure about anything Mexican really either... It´s a country that I want to visit, it´s on my bucket list and maybe one day I wil make it down there, but for now I hope people will excuse me if I mix up Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines... It's not really something that is differentiated between where I am in the world... 
I've tried to cater for everyone, because let's face it, it's ALL DELICIOUS... A huge pot of chili in the crock pot, and a HUGE plate of loaded nachos... I have Chicken Quesadilas and Beef Empanadas, that I hear go best with a glass of whiskey on the rocks... I'm going to Tex-Mex it up with a few Chili Dogs - from Junk Food - and maybe serve those with a shot or two of Ole Jose Tequila to wash everything down...

When he comes home early...

I've been reading a lot in the last year, and it's something that I plan on continuting as it gives my mind a chance to stop thinking about the real things it has to focus on and starts letting my mind wander to places that are not mine to actually live in... 
I've always loved to read but my tastes in reading material have DEFINITELY changed as I've matured. Though I guess a lot about me has definitely changed since I was a teenager...

When I was a teenager I LOVED a fantasy, perhaps with a little romantic twist and although I was NEVER a Twilight or Harry Potter fan, I loved Lord of the Rings and was obsessed with the Twisted Disney series. I've also had a penchant for historical romances and even read  Stephen King or two in the past... BUT NOW... I'm the kind of girl that likes Smut... The darker the better. Give me a dark twisted stalker, maybe one in a mask, and with a penchant for touch-her-and-die vibes, if he's older that's better lol... I'm a girl with a dark stalker, mask wearing, Daddy kink apparently lol... 
I've just finished reading about  guy that has some fun with his babysitter... It's basically porn but without the moving pictures... So today I felt like adding a bit of a tease of a picture... The babysitter sitting around at the home of the kids she's sitting, surrounded by the clutter of the kids she's watching... Pulling her own little pink heart toy - a Love Dildo from Krescendo - out of her bag, as the naughty book she was reading started to get good. She didn't hear the door slowly open, she didn't see the father of the children standing there watching her until it was too hard to hide what she was upto or what he was hiding in his pants...

Make New Friends

It's already nearing the end of November and that means before very long Christmas will start and things will go bonkers... I have so much to do, I want to get myself some new Christmas decorations and may even go out into nature and collect some wild winter foliage for decor... I'll head out into the wild and make a day of it... 

I'd made myself a little camp on the edge of the woods, just over the bridge in the Snowfall Crossing - a backdrop by Synnergy.Tavis - and after spending a few hours collecting foliage to use as decor, I curled up in a pile of blankets on rugs laid in the snow to hide away for a tea break... 
While I was making the tea, I must have passed out a little, when I woke up I had some new friends that had decided my camp looked like a nice warm plae for a nap... Fox Friends came for pets, and Lil Bear Cubs were making themselves at home - both of these sets of animals are from Aardvark, the bears are currently available at TMD and the foxes are at the current round of ACCESS - whilst the cute little bunnies took over my scarf...

Home Again!

I'm back home from my little trip to the UK... What a wonderful time that I had... I spent some lovely time with family, watched the family of foxes that have moved into my parents back garden and I even had the night of my life watching the concert of my first crushes, Take That! It's been busy and eventful, but perfectly wonderful and although not relaxing, I felt the change of scenery was good for me... 
Now though, I am back and it's time to make sure that I get all of the things done... It's May, and this month MAY get a little crazy... 

As I get home, I've got my case and my kitten in her brand new pink bag -  we'd travelled out with the old green one, but the pink matched my luggage better - and because I'd been shopping with mum I accidentally may have bought too much and therefore had to carry my Sleepy Bear - from Sakura - in my hand... 
Even after a day of travelling, I still looked adorable in my outfit with my hair tied in pigtails - a gorgeous style from Yomi (yes Yomi is back and I'm so excited as I've missed their hair) at SABBATH until May 11th - but all I wanted to do was get my post from the mail box and sneak into my home to shower and sleep...

Milkshake Bar

I am having such a hugely busy time at work since I've been back home... My boss is on vacation, and my work bestie has been diagnosed with cancer so understandably she is not available. I'm working all hours under the sun, I'm coming home and as soon as I get here I'm pretty much passing out... Sometimes I'm even forgetting something very important, the fact that I need to eat! When I do remember to eat, I will admit that I'm not being very healthy and it is prett common right now that I'm having Ice Cream for dinner! 

Now one of the biggest reasons that I'm having Ice Cream for dinner is I've been craving milkshakes... Not just any milkshake though, I want the really thick, almost too difficult to get through  straw kind, that basically ice cream is just the frozen form of LOL... 
I was SO hungry for milkshake that when I finally managed to get a few moments to log into SL today, I HAD one thing on my mind...I had to set myself up a little Milkshake Bar, and make myself one ot two... 
There was the Dirt Cup - from Junk Food - a decadently chocolate concoction that has been decorated with a few gummy worms for a more dirty feeling. The gorgeous pastel selection of Fruit Smoothies - from Hangry - that are not only loaded with but are also dripping with pretty berries, AND a myriad of toppings like whipped creams and syrups!! 
I hope that things taste as good as they look?!

Asking the Cards for Guidance...

Tomorrow is my day off... I'm looking forward to having a day of relaxation, a chance to do a little photo taking and create a little magic, although these days I can never predict whether it will be able to happen... I've decided to seek the advice of someone that might be more likely to give me a better idea if it will work out the way I want it... I'm off to see someone who will consult the cards and give me some good news... 

The Cartomancer - a backdrop and pose set from piXit - sitting in her den is a mystic, reading the cards and seeing the images in her crystal ball... The magic is so powerful that the cards have risen in a flight of the tarot, swirling around her head as she plucks the World Card from the display... 
I hope that she has some good news for me...

So Many Flavours!

Here I am, blogging again just after dinner and rather than blogging whilst feeling hungry I've finally had dinner. I've had dinner but now I want some dessert. If it wasn't the main course, then it had to be the sweet stuff... 
ICE CREAM... ICE CREAM... ICE CREAM... I need to have some ice cream, I found the most delicious flavour from Lidl, its crunchy almond with caramel... I might have to head to an Ice Cream shop to get myself a cone or two... 

At the Monsterous Sweet Tooth Ice Cream Bar - a bar collection that includes both counters, ice-cream frozen counter, and other decor from Junk Food, available at N21 - you'll be greeted by an adorable little Scawy Monster - an old release from MishMish - and I had the hardest choice to make.

Bathing with the Duckies

Sunday night, bath night... The most soapy bubbly day of the week. Honestly, it's the most relaxing time of the week for me, after a very busy day at work. The first of the longest days that I've had since I was in the hospital, as it was my first full day back at work. I had a great day, but then now I'm home I'm feeling all the soreness in my muscles. I definitely need a bath... 

I filled my hottub for a Moment - a tub from Violetility - it was time for a slow time - a pose from FOXCITY - but that wasn't the same idea of my new little friends... 
I had a sudden bath time invasion of a gaggle of Rubber Ducks - a brand new release from MishMish at Kustom9 - which lead to oodles of chaos, and a Bubble Bath Wig - from katat0nik!

Funny Drinks at the Office!

Work was a strange day today... People were in a happy mood, but there was a change in the weather that means things were a bit strange. It's definitely fun to be back at work again, things have changed so MUCH but I'm sure that I will get back into the swing of things sooner or later... 
While I'm working away in the shop, Rudh gets herself all dressed up and heads to the office... 

Heading into the office, dressed in an awesome Aili Romper - from miss chelsea - that I've had waiting in my closet for the day I started working. I had my very cute, and kinda officey "Letter Box Handbag" - from Boutique #187, available until May 28th at Cosmopolitan - with me and it looks SO CUTE I'm sure all the girls in the office will be looking! 
At break time, I took my fab purse for a trip to the canteen to grab myself a soda. I have been warned about the drink coolers.

Dumplings for Dinner!

At the moment the circle of friends that I have in Second Life is considerably smaller than it was this time a year ago, but that's OK I like it that way. It's giving me a lot more time to focus on the things that I enjoy, like my blogging... Although, because I get more time it means that I'm able to focus on supporting other people that I do actually like... One of those is the amazing Bleue, along with her lovely partner Eimear, and their brilliant store Cat-Noodle... It's a store full of delicious foods, all very asian inspired, and soooooo delicious... I had to order myself a few tasters to try... 

I'll be a good girl, I won't just stuff my face with the food, I'll be a grown up and sit with my dinner at the table. I've ordered some delicious Steam-Cooked Chunky Dumplings, served in a steamer, some Orenji Sushi - and it was difficult to pick between the different flavours - and I even grabbed some of those delicious looking Savory Shrimp Rice Burgers - all of which are available from Cat-Noodle - and I know I'm going to be over stuffed but how could I resist... I will end up looking like a dumpling... 
Although, perhaps after I've eaten all that I should take a nap to sleep it off... Never know after eating all that my dreams might take me in the way of the delicious foods and I could end up looking like a dumpling - with the help of Ananas' Delicious Dumpling costume...

Stuck in Bed

So I'm back home now as I said before, and I've finally gotten myself set up so that I can have some access to my PC... I think right now that I need some sanity, I need to be able to have a little access to SL and perhaps I have the chance now to be able to get myself into my blog?! Baby steps, but I need something to do to take my mind off the pain... 

Right now, I'm curled up on the bed that was loaned to me from the health care companies so that I have a place to heal... It's not ideal, it's right in the middle of my living room, but we've rigged up a computer to it, and I have the TV so I guess I'll have to wait for the comforts of my own bed... 
Right now though, I guess having access to the TV, my cellphone - thanks to the new Boutique #187 Precious Phone for Happy Weekend - and a computer, being forced to spend all the time in my Pyjamas - or in Rudh's case one of my favourite sets of soft fluffy robe and nightshirt sets called Clem from miss chelsea - checking and rechecking my temperature, taking pills as ordered by my doctors and make sure I look after myself with some delicious bowls of hot soup to make me feel better... I LOVED this kinda soup when I was a little kid, and when I'm sick it comes second only to Chicken Noodle as my healing soup of choice, but how can anyone turn down a bowl of delicious Alphabet Soup - from Junk Food, served with Crackers and a glass of water, available at Blanc until January 25th - my only question for you now as I tuck into my delicious soup is, what can you spell with yours?!

A Test Run for a Christmas Dinner

T'was the night before Christmas Eve, and I've finally finished work for the year. There is still lots to do... Have wrapping, and cleaning, and food preparation. I might even take an evening to do a test run, I always panic making Christmas Dinner, there are just so many things that can go wrong... 
I cooked up a storm... Roasting, baking, boiling and mashing... I had to make sure that everything will be perfect on Saturday... 

Look at all this delicious food, I am so ready for Christmas Day's Dinnertime feast... It's possibly one of the things I'm most looking forward to... All that Turkey, Stuffing, Potatoes and lashings of Gravy - thanks to what was a Thanksiving Dinner or Holiday Dinner from Junk Food - with a few of the typically English trimmings like Brussel Sprouts and Pigs in Blankets - from Stockholm & Lima - who also provided the Christmas Crackers...

Making An 'Elfy Dinner

I just got home from work, and watched the Dutch Prime Ministers press conference and it's been decided that the Netherlands has gone back into a Hard Lockdown... Frustrating, since my place of work is thinking they may stay open, but I have to wait and see now... I don't mind having some extra time off LOL, but it does bug me that Christmas will be another lock down event this year! 

I changed out of my work clothing and went into the kitchen to start making dinner, but I was feeling like such a grinch that when I spotted some of those little elves sitting on my shelves, I decided to take somewhat Scrooge-ish actions... 
I convinced these Mischevious Elves - from Junk Food, available now at The Epiphany - that drinking lots of wine was a good idea... Really it was a good way to marinade Christmas Elf before you boil them up in a stew!

The Old Christmas Decorations!

Since it's so early in December, things are slowly starting to get a little festive, and I'm slowly getting myself into decorating... Today I pulled things out of storage and blew th dust off the boxes containing my decorations. Every year I always buy new things and still end up using the pretty old things I've had over the years... There are a lot of boxes, and phew getting them all out of storage is hard work... 

Grabbing myself a delicious, Sloppy Tomago Sando - from Cat-Noodle - that I'd had waiting in the fridge, I sat down with my kittens to get my grub on... I was about to take a bite of the delicious egg sammich, I noticed that one of my kittens - a cat from Jian - had discovered a bag of catnip stashed in with the decorations in boxes and was going coo-coo for coco puffs... I almost had my eggs poached by my other little friend!

Prepping Dinner for Camp Necrosis

It's time for Camp... We're going to Camp Necrosis... There's so much to do before our trip to camp but I've decided to pre- marinade some delicious meat for those campfire barbeques... We could make something really delicious - Burgers or Sausage, the options are endless... The meat is fresh, it's ready for some marinade... 

Hands and legs are best marinated in BBQ flavour, I prefer my head meat to be a little spicy and we're definitely going to be removing the feet because YUCK!!
In my MINIMAL Kitchen, I've prepped the meat - thanks to Lilith's Den at Necrosis - and once it's in the pot I'm going to sit down with a nice cup of tea, from my adorable Zombie Suicide Tea Set and wait till the timer goes off to let me know it's ready! 
We're going to eat like kings and queens at Camp!!

This Milkshake is bloomin' MOOVELOUS!

I've been very much playing around with different looks lately, and I KNOW that this seems to be something that has appeared a little lately, but for some reason today I found out that I like being a little cow... Drove the hubby made repeatedly singing "My Milkshake brings all the boys to the Barn", and yes I know it's the wrong words but I was in a Barn, not a yard LOL... It's been a lot of fun, frolicking like a cute little calf for the day!!! It's getting late though, so maybe I should finish my moovelous day with some milk and cookies, before I hit the hay! 

I feel like I make an adorable little cow, something that I never thought I'd actually say - although Hell has been known to call me a Cow, and a Heffer, at various times! I look so stinking cute!! 
I wasn't planning on doing the whole cow look until I stumbled upon a sMoochie tattoo - that's the cow print tattoo from Oddysee by the way - that I had bought on a discount weekend sale and stashed away for a rainy day, and then remembered the amazing CryBunBun Breathless Corset that I'd bought in the So Kawaii Sundays sale this weekend had a cow print version... I was frolicking like a little calf the first time they go outside in the spring, I was... 
Now would my milkshakes bring all the boys and girls to the barn? They come in strawberry, chocolate and vanilla flavours!! Or if you don't like that we have regular milk too... OH AND COOKIES... Who doesn't want milk and cookies?!
