40 days to fix my bachelorette pad

Some wives mourn the death of their loved ones for 40 days.  Some people believe that you can get to know a person well in 40 days. I procrastinate and feel sorry for myself for 40 days. Just before I started writing this, I told my daughters again that I want them to never be a housewife or they'll die of boredom like their mom. I've said that so many times, I think I've succeeded in brain-washing them.

I finally decorated my skybox. I've always loved the Manhattan skybox from Rebourne. It's small and perfect for just me.

I like these sofa. They're big and plushy and loaded with lots of textures but their sit animations are all messed up I had to adjust the poses. Not good for asking people to sit. Not that I'll ever invite anyone up.

This is what I wanna do, but since I don't drink alcohol, I'll just pose for a picture.

The new Purplemoon mesh dress from the Bestyle Gypset event. I love the colourful pattern which is why I didn't mind squashing my boobs into that tight dress.

My small bedroom. Cozy I think and a little bit messy too. Eating chocolate in bed is not a good idea coz you might forget to brush your teeth afterwards and go straight to sleep which is just bad. But since I'm never gonna have teeth problems in SL.... I think my cat and dog are falling in love with each other.

Shop and Pose

I need to start cleaning up my inventory again. Every time I tp to another sim, I'd crash. That really isn't a recipe for good moods and I've been especially down a lot and trying hard to keep it together. Some people drink, some people sleep around, they all self destruct. I spent...

That's my take on this week's colour challenge, thistle. Something in pink and purple from Sn@tch-N-Grab Special Calypso.

Everything that's on sale for the RFL seemed to be in shades of purple. This is from MysticHope, named Sheeyla Bordeaux. I'm ashamed to say, I've never heard of this store before.

This gown isn't part of the RFL but I loved it so much, I had to get it. It's from {Elysium}, named Ilithyia in Pink. I've never heard of this store either.....and I thought I was a shopaholic.

This is from Purplemoon, Boho Look1 for 55LThursday.

This is a hunt item from Paris Metro, Feast French Lace Gown.

While I was writing this up, I was also listening to live music:)

I almost lost my kitty

Last night my daughter left the door ajar when she went out and if it weren't for my scardy cat Nims, I'd never have known it. Nims circled around me with her furs all standing out so I knew something was wrong. The braver kitty Phebes went out exploring and got ganked up by 2 tomcats who were a bit confused coz she wasn't in heat and was chasing her around. I was freaking out and crying but she eventually ran back into the house.
Those 2 kitties are like my toddlers...except I don't have to change their diapers and hover over them too much. I love them so much, I can understand why some people leave all their money to their pets.
That was the highlight of my real life hahaha.
In sl, I did the fantasy faire hunt and got all the shards and the hunt gifts but when it came to the final part, I kept on clicking the books and got spammed. Well, it looked like spam coz it filled up my open chat. I have no clue what to do next so I went home to open the hunt gifts and forgot to take pics.

Here's a pic of me dancing at Runaround Sue's while I was writing this:) They play oldies 50's-60's music. I gotta say the DJ sounds very much like another DJ I like to listen to.

I still can't get over how this Christina skin from Izzie makes my avatar look so much like my daughter. Except she doesn't like to dress-up or wear make-up.

Angelwing Feathered Fae in white(Fantasy Faire)

I don't normally buy faery stuffs coz I like my avatar to be big and tall, but this costume was only 50L and it was for a good cause.

And I do have a small shape for occasions like this. I  bought prim feet from YS&YS at the Dressing Room in the past which I haven't even unpacked. I have this bad habit of buying stuffs for some vague projects I have planned in my head and then forget about it. Fortunately I remembered about the prim feet or I'd have taken this pic with the default barefeet.
Here's a pixlr-ed pic:

I depend a lot on windlight and frames. These pictures were taken at the XIV sim when there was nobody around.

Goodbye to my loved ones

I finished wandering the Fantasy Faire sims, took a lot of pictures and did my best to only buy things that were for donations. The mermaid outfit at Boudoir was the exception. And the hair too.

When I saw these candle boats, I knew I had to get them.

Colour Challenge week17-shuttle gray

I've had this old Gothicatz outfit in mind since early this week.The black heart bag and earrings are very old gifts from GF. The shoes are also old stuff from Pixelmode. I bought the fatpack. I got tired of trying to find the right colours all the time. The new stuffs are my hair from Kik, which reminds me of my daughter's and those black nails are from Purplemoon.

Just go with flow(another rambling post)

My brother had so much to look forward to and yet his life was cut short, leaving behind his little children, his pregnant wife and yet me, who has finished accomplishing my purpose, lingers on looking forward to nothing in particular. I still don't understand the reason. I'm sure there is a purpose. I just can't find it yet.

It did make me think of SL though. Even our unknown online friends, even if we don't know who they really are, should matter to us. Didn't I laugh and be happy with them? Didn't I feel sad when they are sad? My feelings transcend my physical being. I don't think anyone should belittle the emotional experience we have in this virtual life. Just like rl, there will be boring days and days I wish I would just die ie delete my account but I won't because I find it interesting how I can handle things here and take it back to the real world. I guess I can say that SL saved my rl:) I guess I can say I've matured!

Sorry if what I write doesn't make any sense but words are not flowing good for me at the moment. I wanted to remember this day.

I've been wearing this outfit a few days now. I might as well take a pic.
