Killing Cupid

It is hard to believe that it's almost the end of February already and that means we're already two months down and into the third month of the year. March is one of the most important month's of the year, since it's my Birthday month and this year I'll be a number that rhymes with sporty... First though there is ONE thing that I have to do before we end out February... 

I need to rid us of that annoying little thing that has been buzzing around us for the month, and that means someone perhaps me, needs to get rid of that little Cupid... I think if I'm lucky I can catch him in his hideout somewhere in the Tunnel of Love - which is a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - I'm armed with a few things like bows and arrows, and even the Until Death Axe - which is from Krescendo - and and makes the perfect weapon for an angel killer like me...

Decorations Don't Go Quietly!

It's that most yucky of days after the Christmas festivities in my house today... I'm not sure if it's today or tomorrow that it's traditional to take down Christmas decorations but in our house, we took the decor down today. I was not looking forward to it, but it has been done, everything is ready to be stashed away again and things look dark and empty... 

It makes me laugh how we use the same things over and over and over again, I'm not one of those people that wants a pristine or chic looking Christmas tree, I LOVE it when things are colourful and mismatched and traditions that remain the same every year... I know, especially in times like this, I want things to be cozy and comforting... I dislike this darkness that has decended in my living room today... It's only going to get emptier as we prepare the house for our moving date... 
While stuffing things in to the old chests in the Attic, I made a little discovery... One of the Gingerbread men that had appeared in many of my posts over the festive period was REALLY not ready to return to his Spring/Summer/Autumn sleep, he got angry and tried to Choke Me Out - he's a festive release from Tardfish that I HOPE will still be available in the mainstore but let me know if I'm wrong please! - and well since he wanted to stay awake I'll just have to take his place for a long nap in a cosy old trunk...

Paws & Disorder for Christmas Chaos

Pft it's getting closer and closer to Christmas and I get to a certain point in December and think "SHIT" I have so much left to do still and not a lot of time to do it... HellBone is done with work for the year, and I'm going to be making him a list that's similar to the one that Santa makes, only he will be on the naughty list he doesn't get things done... 

Santa has left me as one of his favourite Ho Ho Ho's to decorate the Gift Room in his home at the North Pole - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis by the way - and it didn't take long before it became total chaos... One of the helper elves was pestering the poor old, grumpy black cat, while the other sat on the table and forgot his wrapping to watch me work with a dreamy look in his eyes... I was too busy trying to organise the cats that were causing chaos, too many Paws and a lot of Disorder, which sounds like a damn good name for a movie "Paws & Disorder" - which are a collection from Aardvark at The Arcade - and makes things a LOT more silly fun than decorating a Christmas tree any right to be...

Coffee or Chocolate & Cookies!

It's getting closer and closer to Christmas and all I can say is that the festive spirit comes and goes faster than I can blink at the moment. I'm dealing with some feelings and a little bit of trouble in Real Life but I will let you know more about that soon I'm sure... 
Since I have the day off though, and since I'm feeling a bit crappier than normal today I'm going to take it easy, do a little prep for Christmas and read a good book with a delicious treat or two...  

What do I want to make myself feel better today?! I think that I should try to make some cookies, preparation for Santa's visit... Everyone knows that there should always be cookies left out for Santa. I would offer to leave him some delicious home-made chocolate or a fancy Christmas coffee, but I wonder if Santa wouldn't mind a cold coffee instead... I don't think it will be too hot when he gets here?!

Chocolate & Cookies

I've been having a very lazy day today, the last few days at work were bonkers due to a Spanish National Holiday which saw a lot more Spanish tourists in Amsterdam and therefore the shop was insanely busy... Don't ask me why it got so busy, I don't think all of the shops in our brand were that busy but we were crazy... 
Today I wanted something calming to do and that meant I was going to start my Christmas decorating... 

After the weekend I'd had so far, this couldn't be a RL think since I was aching all over, but my SL space is different... I started in the kitchen and planned the perfect happy place...
I LOVE having a place to make something delicious, and Hot Chocolate feels like the perfect Winter treat. While shopping in the sales this weekend, I got my hands on a new Slowcooker - from Movement as part of the Licor Chocolate Set - and decided to set up my own Hot Chocolate Stand - thanks to a set from Junk Food at Santa Inc until January 2nd - in my kitchen... 
Adding a handful of cookies and cakes, with a handful of decorations for Christmas cheer and I'm a happy girl...

Hiding My Birthday Suit!

I MAY have mentioned this before, but Sunday's are considered bath nights in my house and have been since I was a little kid.... We don't have a bath in my RL home, so I've often lived vicariously through Rudh and lounged in a bath with lots of bubbles., but today I'm running low on energy and so a quick shower will be all I'm capable of today... 

Now I know I love having a chat with everyone, but it's a bit difficult to take you all into the shower... No one wants to see that, no one needs to see me all bare and soapy... Then I remembered... I'd found the perfect thing whilst shopping for Halloween decor, and although Halloween has been and gone, I can get my little Birthday Suit Costume on - from Canape - while I grab my soap and shower loofah to scrub my butt while we chat... Though someone apparently doesn't want me to chat, my Soapy Soap - from KitCat - in my mouth to stop me... Lucky really, considering that I mumbled a few rude words...
