A "Hotel" Stay!

I know I've been complaining about work a lot lately, but I'm going to do it again because well... I can... If yout don't like it just take a look at my pretty picture today and I'll see you later... Otherwise I've been driven crazy enough by the visitors to my place of work that I'm done with daily life and have finally found the perfect place for a rest... 

I'm tired, mentally and physically - so much so that I can't even think straight enough to write and words like physically are a problem - but there won't be much of a respite. I get Sunday and Monday off but I NEED MORE TIME TO REST!!! I'm checking myself into an old boutique "hotel" I've discovered, it's called the "Asylum for Criminally Insane Women"... I don't think I've done anything criminal, but perhaps if you could see the things I think about certain customers, maybe you'd disagree... Plus I've heard they have excellent padding to keep rooms nice and cosy, and damped the sound of aggrivated screams...

Halloween has started, the Funhouse is Open!

YAY it's FINALLY October 1st and YAY I don't think it could have come at any better of a time... Today opens this year's Dark Adventure, although I'll share more about that another time, and there are so many awesome things happening this month... PLUS it's the start of my month of Halloween costumes... I cannot wait, it's the MOST wonderful time of the year!!! 
The monsters are bursting through the doors of Second Life's twisted fun house... The monstrous circus is in town, and there will be so much fun as they haunt their way through Second Life... I cannot wait to see what characters come through those doors... 

The Funhouse - an amazing building by What's Lost Spirits at the current round of the Engine Room - is where all of the nasty crazies that are lurking around me have been hiding are escaping from this year... You never know what craziness can come out of a fun house, just like you never know what can come out of me... First out, someone to check the coast is clear, under the guise of being one of the circus crowd, she's a dancer, a little magical but almost unreal... She's got robotic wings - from RSStore - and her clockwork dress showing signs of her clockwork nature... She wears her doll key on a choker around her neck - part of a set from torment, also at Engine Room - that will not only assist her in energizing herself but will also wind up the galloping gear horses on her dress - the Gears Gallop Dress is amazing in so many colours from moon amore, again at the Engine Room - so she's able to corral the Carousel Courier ponies...

The First Snow in the Festive Season

December 1st, officially the first day on the run up to Christmas... It is three weeks now until the most festive day of the year. This year as all years, I'm looking forward to it but I'm heading into the festivites with trepidation after all of the terror that I went through last year. I am trying to make sure that I at least plan to be positive, I am looking forward to the month ahead... 
It helped that today in SL, I felt the first snowfall of the year... 

The first snowfall - like in the backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - of the year in SL seems like a silly thing, it seems that you can find so many places where the snow has been falling a while, but each and everyone is super pretty. I am so excited to start exploring them all... 
As the first flakes of snow started to fall, I found a quiet little place to sit, while my puppy pal ran around and chased the flakes, and I did what you always have to do as a kid... Try to catch a snowflake on your tongue!

Getting Home, All Snowed In!

I'm back from my vacation, and it was a lovely trip home to spend some very much needed time with my parents and sister. I enjoyed all those things I loved doing at home, things like going to second-hand stores, reading plenty of books and generally lazing around doing not a lot of anything. It's been wonderfully restful... Now though it's back to reality, and on a slippery slope to a jolly holiday... 
Talking of slippery slopes... I looks like it's been more than a little snowy in many of the pretty places in Second Life... 

I got back from my little vacation, there has been lots and lots of changes. Snow has started to fall in the pretty parts of Second Life and there has been so much snow in my corner of the Second Life world that I've been Snowed In - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - so I dumped my case on the steps and after grabbing a shovel - that comes with the pose set also from Synnergy.Tavis - and deidd to get to work. While digging out the snow, and started talking to my new little robin friends, as I begin to dig through the snow...
