Rainy Monday mornings in which I am missing Sands like a crazy person leads to only one thing. Another shopping trip. Now, look, this isn't my fault. This is completely his fault for leaving me home alone today, I swear. It is also his fault because he is going to be gone for a few days starting on Wednesday and I am all mopey and down because, seriously, I am going to miss him. I know, what a sap, what a dork, what a...hopelessly in love nitwit I am! Stop judging me dang it, I've grown just a wee bit fond of the man and for some insane reason he puts up with me. He puts up with the shopping, the pictures, the hours of sitting on skype every single minute we are online together (hey, I'm not forcing him, I swear) and even my redecorating and moving kicks on SL. Which reminds me, I do believe we did a rather uh, well, nude picture the last time he logged in. I have since moved our entire home (again) and there is going to be some poor surprised soul on our old land when he logs in next. I shouldn't laugh....but I will. If I am being completely honest, I am looking forward to it. I'm in such trouble for that one, but it will be worth it!

Back to the shopping and blaming Sands for everything, I got side tracked there a moment. I got to wake him up and get a few minutes of his time this morning before he got ready for work, trust me it helps. Its silly but just a small dose of his voice improves my mood, though it reminded me just how much the end of this week is going to stink! Luckily by then I will have more lindens to help support me through such trying times. *places the back of her hand dramatically against her forehead* Woe! I jest, of course, but will have much more time to blog, rambling on and on in plurk and over all pester people. Maybe it won't be such a horrid weekend after all! Save for that going nuts without him part. Oh its pitiful, just wait though, next week will be a bunch of 'Yay he is home' posts. I warned you, you may run now, I understand!

As I stood in our home this morning plotting a few things I was also flipping through group notices as they came in and I saw this top from Malt. I do believe I TP'd out before even thinking twice about it. This beautiful, frilly, fluffy blouse comes in a variety of lovely colors and when I can I will be sneaking back for another later this week. I couldn't resist it and really didn't attempt to, I just walked right in and snagged it. So, I have a new resolve. You ready for this? Instead of no shopping, how about shopping only for a piece or two and always making sure to include something old that I already have? Totally new concept!! (Are we noting my sarcasm yet, or the I should have been doing this all along instead of getting something new every darn time tone? No? Blog fail!)

This time I paired the blouse with a great pair of pants from Persona, Shiny Things shoes (I need to shop for more shoes, I have a shoe thang in SL but not RL, go figure) and one of my new favorite hairs from fri.day. I thought it might not be bad to show off the new furniture I got last week by Belle...or is that Belle Belle, I'm not in game to peek but the slurl in the credits works. If you ever wonder if the ads on some blogs work, yes they do! That is how I found them and I adore this furniture. If I had more prims available I would have the entire set in my skybox. Poses are by Storin, looking forward to their next release of more too.

When I sit and really think about it, and I do often, I am actually really surprised at how well things are going, and for how long they have been going this well. Life always has ups and downs, but lately? Its so many ups that I absolutely refuse to believe there is a down up ahead. RL is squeeking by, and working out really well. SL is still my escape, and my relationship with Sands just keeps getting stronger. In a world where SLationships (or is that SLelationships, or SLtionships or...look, you get the idea) don't often last for very long, I am literally amazed that we are fast approaching 6....months. Seriously, how many people thought it wouldn't last this long? Imagine your surprise when we make it a year? I wonder how many shopping trips I will be able to blame him for in the next 6 months.... its a good thing he loves me!

Have a great Monday SLers, hopefully filled with all the love and happiness you each deserve, and see you all tomorrow!
