Go Away Cupid!

It's Valentine's Day but it's ben a long hard day for me at work and now I'm more than happy to curl up with a delivery pizza and an episode of the random crap that I am currently binge watching. Tomorrow is a HUGE day for us, tomorrow is moving day and we're both a little knackered but all will be OK and once we're moved things SHOULD calm down a little... I hope... For now though, I don't need any hearts and romance, all I want is a chance to curl up and get comfy... 

I'm so lucky that I'm done playing the Second Life Dating Game... Hell was someone I met in SL 16 years ago now and though we started as friends, I've been his RL missus for almost all of that time! I met him in RL as a friend, we parted ways as a couple and had a long distance thing for 6 months before he asked me to move in, not just his home but to his homeland... I'll never call myself Dutch, but here I am... 
The SL Dating Game - which in the picture happens to be a blaink backdrop - always felt like such hard work, and you hear so many things going round about people cheating and lying and causing drama to those that are looking for love... I often feel like it would be a lost cause for me if I had to try again, and I'd rather go on a TV dating show like the 1990's Blind Date with Cilla Black LOL... 
Still, Cupid - and his companions like those released from MishMish, available until March 6th at Collabor88 - needs to stay well away from me, I'm happy in what I got even though it's not perfect. I've been told the "Love is in the Air Spray" - from MIDNA  - is the best form of repellant against the little beasties...

Valentine Treats

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I am working and we are moving on Sunday so I have no plans to do much of anything... PLUS I don't really like Valentines anyway, unless you haven't guessed it. I'm not totally anti it, I definitely believe in love but I don't really feel ike Love should just be celebrated on one day... Love is an eternal thing, a thing that should be cherished always... So I'm celebrating the sweetness, the adorableness, and the happiness, all the while my Hubby is watching Friday the 13th and scaring the shit out of me LOL... 

So normally I'd wait until after Valentine's to get my hands on TONNES of discounted chocolates that I needed but sometimes in the middle of al of the chaos a girl needs a little chococlate treat... Now I am planning to do something delicious with all of that Valentine's Candy but I wanted it to be something a little different too, after all, it's not your everyday run of the mill boring kinda candy... 
Maybe I'll enjoy a little Halloween Candy Fondue... Some yummy sweet treats for dipping in the melted chocolate and plenty of lovehearts all around... It all smells so delicious and sweet that it's lured in the Sweet in Pink Flying Hearts - which are part of a set of good and bad hearts from Snuggle&Co for the current group gift - who want to join in the Valentine's Sweet Treat...

Wandering into Wonderland

Honestly I'm OVER Valentine's already but wanted to do something with hearts and flowers and a little cuteness to at least try and stay with the romantic feels... I spent a long time dreaming of what I could do that would make me smile and feel a little less grumpy than I have been and I seem to have drifted off into a dream land... When I woke up I was drifting into a magical place, a Wonderland of my own... 

The mirror in my room, started to get a little hazy, there was a certain amount of magic that seemed to be floating through the mirror and so I decided to let it see where it would take me and what wonderful things would happen... The mirror's reflection drew me in, as I got close it started to change, and before I knew it, I was stepping through into Wonderland... 
As I stepped through, the mirrors magic dressed me for the part, an outfit fit for Lewis Carroll himself and most wonderfully weird and wonderful imaginings...

The Anti-Valentine

Valentine's is getting nearer, you can hear it sneaking up on us a little like the Jaws theme is playing on repeat in the background, and honestly as much as I'm trying to enjoy the festivities in SL, I'm distracted and acting a LOT more like a grumpy Anti-Valentine... There is still a little magic to be had for the Anti-Valentine though, and since the Midnight Order is a perfect place for people to seeking something dark and deadly, and the Anti-Valentine is more than willing to help... 

So within the Damirin Halls - which are actually a backdrop by The Bearded Guy - in the Midnight Order's hallowed halls, there are lots of remnants of the Blood Magic of the old Magic Clans... 
The Anti-Valentine is a little Devilish with her red, bloody skin, and wilted roses litter her blood stained wings. She's a Curse Cupid - which is a Faunus release for The Cupid's Curse, available until March 4th - and a little bit of a Demonia - which is a gorgeous new head release from BeSpoke, available until March 6th at Collabor88 - but she's a royalty in the world of dark magic and the dark little counterpart to that horrible baby cupid...

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.

Moving all that Emotional Baggage

This week and next are CRAZY busy weeks in my RL. From February 26th, HellBone and I don't have access to our house in RL because we are having some MAJOR rennovations done that are necessary and we HAVE to get things done. SO, HellBone and I are tidying, packing, sorting and prepping not only ONE but TWO places because luckily for us, my boss was willing to let us live on one of their properties... I have large amounts of anxiety over my roughly 6-month temporary relocation, but for now I'm just getting things ready... 

Every time I have a day off it's like the typical Moving Day scene - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - there are boxes and cleaning supplies and mess everywhere... It's not just the stuff though, it's all the emotional baggage that I'm carrying - represented so perfectly by The Bearded Guy's What I Carry box - that is making this harder. I am exhausted, I am running on high anxiety and I can feel the clock ticking in a count down to when we are needing everything done and ready by... The cat isn't helping too as she's stressing while the house empties around her and she screams at the top of her little lungs in the voice of her people... I wish there was more hours in the day, just a few hours more then I'd be able to have a proper dinner, rather than just some pizza in my mouth as I dash past... Although Mouth Pizza is flipping delicious...

Recharging the Harpies

Having one of those days where you need a little more magic in your life? I know that I have been feeling that way for a while now and I don't think there will be anything that I can get to happen anytime soon... 
So I'm going to have to get myself dragged into the Midnight Order and find the magic so that I can refind my own sparkle... 

The magic thats can only be found in the old Dany's Throne Room - a backdrop from K&S - is a draw to many that come to visit the Midnight Order. Today's visitor is one of the Galewing Harpies - with wings and jewels from aii at the current round of Midnight Order until February 20th - who has come to absorb some of the magic from the Leyline Table. It makes her glow, the halo glittering more as she recharges her magical batteries, I wish it was just as easy in RL...
