The Wraiths of a Christmas Spirit

Why did I think that things might get better soon?? I think I jinxed myself and now not only am I having a terrible visit from Mother Nature, I'm also full of cold AGAIN!!! I feel like I am a total grinch right now, maybe Grinch isn't even strong enough... Maybe I'm reaching full on Scrooge level... Bah Humbug... 

I've been feeling so grumpy and there is NOTHING I can do to cheer myself up... Even the book Advent Calendar that my hubby made for me as a main Christmas present this year makes me smile but I soon get grumpy again because of everything else that's going on... 
Maybe I'll slip into the world of a Christmas Carol... Maybe I'll let the darkness in me draw the spirits of Christmasses gone by from the old Gothmas Christmas Tree in the hall - which happens to be a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis for the SL Shop & Hop - and there is maybe some hope that they can save me... These spirits are not the ghosts from the Muppet version, although the last of the three in that film was a bit daunting when I saw it as I was a kid... These Wraith Skulls - a release from Tardfish for the current round of The Men's Department - of Christmas present are looming fast and I'm not sure I'm awake enough to avoid them...

Do you play Croquet?

Things are crazy in my household at the moment. My pain in the butt, whom I love muchly, hubby was operated on yesterday and though he's home he is in a lot of pain. I've been allowed to take a few days off so that I can look after him which so far has been fairly OK... He is a little high on the good kind of drugs, but it's me that seems to be stuck in my own tiring little Wonderland, I'm running around all over the place doing things for him... I finally managed to get a little time to rest and so I ended up finding a Wonderland that was a little less stressful... 

What to do while I'm here to relax? Anyone fancy a game of croquet? I always used to love the idea of the flamingo croquet that Alice played with the Queen of Hearts in the Disney version... I wanted to play with the croquet mallets so badly because they looked like heaps of fun... So in the gardens of Wonderland I'm going to ask, DO YOU PLAY CROQUET?!

Movie Night Tonight!

Today is a day that has to be celebrated... How often is it that a day so important to the dark and twisted, a Friday the 13th,  falls in October... Today is the perfect day for us to take a little trip into the woods and head to a camp site known to many as Camp Crystal Lake in search of our favourite friend, Mr Jason Voorhees... Other Horror Movie villains come and go, so more important and well liked than others, but for me and in our house, none is better than the king of slasher villains... We watch his movies every Friday the 13th, but this year is a special one right?! It could not be something we missed...  

I got home from work, to a delicious dinner of fried chicken served in a seasonally themed Trick or Chicken style - from Hangry at the new round of equal10 - and we sat to watch an old VHS tape with THE best of the scary movies - from a Scary Movie Set created by Junk Food - although I admit that any time we got to the scary bits I would find some interesting message pop up on my Cute Psycho Black Phone - available from Boutique #187 at the SL Shop & Hop...
I'm not entirely sure that my teddy bear pals are keen on me playing around on my phone though, the Scare Bears - that I've had for a few years from Sakura - decided to stop me playing with my phone and make me focus on the movie by going on the attack, one of them going a little too far by accidentally cutting into my throat so that the blood went everywhere and totally soaked my jammies... Doesn't surprise me though, I knew that if I was ever going to be part of a Horror Movie Brat Pack I'd end up being the First to Die as I seem to have been magically labelled on my chest - thanks to an amazing tattoo with various different designs in a pack from Adora-tions at the new round of #BIGGIRL...

The best little Valentine is a Furry One!

Happy Valentines Day... The day of hearts and flowers and romance is here, and unlike when the other holidays arrived I'm typically underwhelmed. I've been spending the day like it's a normal day, and I cannot deny that things have been a little disappointed in the fact that everything has been a little 'meh'... 
This evening I've decided to remember that I love me, and that there is another in my home that I love more than I love myself... My little fur baby, my pussycat Anna... 

I made some delicious dinner and I curled up on the sofa wrapped in a blanket, snuggled in amongst the pillows to wait for my 'floof' to make an appearance. It shouldn't be too long now...

Magically Summoning A Valentine

It's Valentines Weekend, and everywhere I look it seems like there are so many couples being cute and adorably sweet, but knowing my Hubby I'm going to be doing things all by myself on Tuesday and over the rest of the Valentines weekend. I got home from work, after a stupidly long and mental work day today, and I decided to take matters into my own hands. I wanted to find myself someone who'd appreciate me, I needed to find myself a special valentine that HellBone couldn't object to... It was time to head to the store to collect a few things and work a little magic... 

There are so many good things at the store these days to prepare for  magic spell on Valentines... I had a look at the spell that I've found in one of those cheesy "Ravishing" Romance Novels - from Random.Matter at Cupid Inc - which said I needed some Valentines Candy both chocolate and love heart styles, some beautifully scented flowers and since it's something that I enjoy a variety of different Valentines coffees, since they are definitely a way to a girls heart... Then place "The Perfect Boyfriend" made from chocolate - and released by Junk Food at Cupid Inc - into a pentacle of  Love Hearts and start chanting... If the magic works, your chocolate man will become your perfect Valentine...

Romantic Magic on the Breeze

Romance is in the air, Second Life has been taken over and as I've said many times over the past few days already, I'm really not a hearts and flowers and romance kinda girl, bring back Halloween I say. Yet it's something that's fairly unavoidable right now, and since some of the cute stuff is pretty damn cute and so I guess I have to roll with it... 
I had to take a break from putting together something that was full of fantasy and avoiding any romance, but there was a bit of a magical moment as I stepped onto the fire escape... 

I'd been taking pictures in the adorable Boutique Hotel, and stepped onto the fire escape - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - the city below had come to life, the lights were sparkling and the sounds of the evening were ringing around the walls. It felt like an amazing evening to stand and enjoy the night. 
Whilst watching the life pass me by, a moment of magic happened... Somewhere below me, someone had let the most gorgeous bunch of heart balloons - from hive - slip from their grasp and they were floating "Up & Away" - an older but amazingly cute pose from -Extra- that comes with some gorgeous balloon props - I couldn't resist reaching out and catching one, the inner child in me wouldn't let myself miss them...

Time for a Coffee Break

A lovely, lazy Sunday... A restful day, in which I had planned to do some cleaning, but instead I ended up having a lazy day, I spent my day decorating my SL house and gardens for Christmas and playing with my clothes... I did make a very naughty stop in the day, I had a craving and needed to head on a little trip, I had a craving for one of those deliciously, fancy coffees with whipped cream...

I took a little time out to head on down to the Burrow Co. Coffeehouse, but instead of going inside I found the most adorable little coffee van at a campsite full of soft comfy cushions, and was able to order myself a super, over-the-top, deliciously Christmassy "Jolly Hot Cocoa" - from Hangry - one with masses of whipped cream...

Magic will bring him to life...

I know that it's nearly Christmas, but right now I need to take a break from the festivities... I decided to make sure that I got myself a Christmas present that I wanted. This year, I'm thinking big, and have decided to take a little magic of the season into my own hands, since I doubt that Santa will be able to bring me what I want lol... This year I've decided to upgrade HellBone, I'm going for someone adorable...  

I think I'm going to test my magical theory out on my Sam Winchester doll... Bring him to life. That way if something goes wrong, he will be able to stop whatever demon I summon lol... 
Setting up carefully, Sam in the middle of Pentacle, in the middle of a demon trap, ya know just in case I get more of a Chucky than a Winchester. 
Pulling out the Haunted Tome - from Vae Victis, as a gift at SL Shop & Hop - and as I started to read the pages out loud, the papers ont he floor seem to come to life. The words and the pictures were glowing, dancing, flickering in the candlie light - due to these amazing Cursed Pages from Static at We <3 RP - unfortunately I chickend out before I could carry through with the spell...

Nightmares at School

Today has been a day of what the fuckery... I got called into work suddenly in an emergency but there was so much to do that I was kept busy at least. Yet it was all pencil and paper work, when the internet is down in a store that relies on the internet for everything from pin card payments to the safe and even setting the alarm at the end of the day... Working with pencil was driving me nuts, having to write everything down... It reminded me of nightmares at school... 

In this nightmare, the cute little school girl in me was being chased through the corridors of school by two very recognisable characters - although today they are in very adorable teddy bear form from Junk Food as gifts at Satan Inc, for Teddy Kruegar, and at SL Shop & Hop for the Ghost Teddy - but I got so scared that I accidentally destroyed my own teddy... 
The nightmare got worse and I found myself falling over onto a huge pencil that just seemed to be taunting me, hovering in the middle of the corridor.. My Casual-Tee - a release from Ananas from Salem - wasn't much protection from the giant pencil, it stabbed straight through me...
