LOTD 9-05-09

As I lay trying to sleep last night I had this entire blog post written out in my mind. I told myself then to grab my cell and jot down some notes, but no, I am too stubborn for that. I will remember, no problem. Hmm, guess who didn't remember it all? I fell asleep and slept like the dead until 8am this morning, when I needed to call Sands and make sure he got his butt out of bed for work. The man could sleep through a war, I swear, but he woke up with only two phone calls this morning! Progress! (He is so gonna bonk me for that) Even better was getting to sit and talk to him while he was at work, before anyone else was in. I am always startled by how much time he actually sits to just talk, and while I don't envy him his cell bill, I can't seem to stop rambling on with him!

The last few days have reminded me, yet again, why I am with Sands and why I feel so happy lately. This doesn't just affect me online, this has improved my mood offline and people around me notice how much more I have going on. My best friend even commented on how it seems there is new life in me. There is, his. He has so much become a part of me that I am still surprised by it, even more so by some of the things he says! Now, most people have preconceived notions about him, which I can understand to a point, however that just isn't the person I have come to love so deeply. The person I find myself so lost in is the one that has 'I love you so damn much' in one of his macros in EQ2, and sits on skype with me laughing for hours as we level our alts or do any of a million different things. The one that sits with me and watches movies, talks about mundane things and even asks my opinion on things he has going on in his own RL. He is the same one that once told me 'I guess sometimes you have to go through hell, to get to heaven.' and shows me in so many ways that he wants me happy. Certain people can bring the worst out in you, but sometimes you are blessed with someone that brings out the best.

I know, enough of that, right? Lets talk about comfort. My outfit today is so darn comfortable I would wear it on my weekends in RL, running errands, chasing little people, all those things you have to get done in style. I know, I always compare my SL style with my RL one, I can't help it, Dina is more me than I first thought she would be. The top is by Refuge, jeans by Pixeldolls and the shoes are just the bottom portion of my favorite boots by Kitties Lair. Hair is one of the newest styles by Truth, he needs to stop the releases for a while so my L balance can recover! Be sure to visit these stores sometime this weekend! I hope everyone has a fabulous long weekend, those that are celebrating Labor Day. Tomorrows look should be better...this was yet another quicky!

Grand Illusion...
...behind the mask!

Grand Illusion, to me, is a great many things. A place to share my adventures within the grandest illusion I know, Second Life. Exploration, friends and loved ones and best of all, fashion and the addiction that is, shopping! I often spend most of my time in SL working these days, but I still find time for the fashion, for decorating and landscaping and the pure obsessive nature of it all.
