Wishing everyone from the States a Happy 4th!! I think I rambled a lot yesterday, and today my ramble would be absolutely insane chatter about nothing at all so...I hope everyone has a fabulous day!! I snuck over and took this fast pic with my bestie Kis because she was too short to reach both arms to either side of the flag and hold it up. Shortpeopleproblems. She also posted the pic and her style credits so see them below!!

Love to you all!

The pictures above and below here are some of my favorite so far this month. Oh wait, this is my first blog post this month, well who cares they are still my favorite! Look. At. Them. Oh sweet primmy sky home but I couldn't help but fall in love with it when I got the release notice from Leezu! I love absolutely everything about it. Everything seen here is from Leezu! except for the Dutchie bed. New home location is a-go!

What better way is there to break in a new home than with a pretty picture of the new release by Celoe? To be perfectly honest, I have no clue how long the dress has been out but I fell in love with it as I walked past to go get the new shoes. Oh. Shoes! If I could of I would of gotten every color, but I am so happy in these shoes that I have yet to take them off. The dress also meets every one of my prissy, girly, flowy summer dress mood right now.

Now here is something I haven't done in ages. I'm taking myself back to where I used to be, at the end of every blog entry I would ramble a little bit about, well, me. Its my blog. I purchase almost everything I blog. Why shouldn't I? Don't like a bit of RL mixed with your SL? Stop reading now!!

Things are going decently well! Tons of room for improvement, which I am working on daily, to get on track to where I need to be, but well all the same. The kids are all off for summer and the older ones are going to Virginia for a couple of weeks, starting this weekend. I am going to miss them like crazy but they will have so much fun with my in laws!

On the SL/online front. Well, I'm getting there! I know what it is I want, finally, and I know that I cannot keep expecting others to make sure it happens. It either will be, or won't, and I have finally accepted it for what it is. Working nonstop, trying to finish up the sim finally, and enjoying some raiding in Everquest 2 as I have been the last 3 years. I'm letting go of some guilt that has been eating at me for weeks and just going to refocus on being the best person I can be. Those that love me, and have been there through my struggles I adore you for it! I'm pushing past my issues and doing the best I can do and hope its good enough.

I hope everyone is having a great week! Hopefully I will stop being a lazy SLer and blog more often, I do miss the rambling! You pour souls....

The whispers and rumors around plurk today is that its a no panties day. Well, that was easy enough! Thought this top that I snuck over and got at the Leverocci sale was perfect for wandering around my new home panty-less! After neglecting their updates for a while, I picked up a few of the latest Truth hairs and this one fit well with what I was aiming for here. Wearing one of my absolute favorite skins, by Izzies, I snuck over to one of my happiest places on my sim, standing and staring out the window at the beautiful trees by HappyMood. They easily put me in a happy mood and are being spread all over my sim. The Mannequin and photo work on the wall are by What Next. I will be featuring more corners of my new home as soon as I get them done!

I could sit and ramble on and on like I used to, but shoot, who has time for that anymore! I hope that everyone had a fabulous week. I really did, honestly, even surviving the nasty humid heat. This weekend is going to be amazing! Why? Well. I'm finally riding solo! *smiles her sweetest smile and slips off to start her weekend a bit early*

Honestly, I may never ever take this dress or skin off. Izzie's Delusional skin and Anne dress have capture my soft, prissy heart and I have been wearing it all for a couple of days now. The skin is absolutely taking a spot in my favorites folder. The lips, look at them! Oh the kissable sweet lips! I've taken shots of all of the lips as well as the eye shadows, which I *did* wear with additional lashes NOT INCLUDED with the skin. Sorry about that! The final shot here shows the skin with the body/face freckles, which I love as well. If you haven't gotten down to the Skin Showcase, you need to! There are so many amazing skins like this one, you won't regret the trip.

Oh, and just for my bestie, look at that...I finally got around to another blog! 2 down and 2 to go, wonder if I will get it all done before the end of the month. I swear, you should be a better influence on me than this! Just saying....I caught her on my beach using it for pics, decided to snap this shot. I loved it so much I had to share! Find the details here.

In all honestly, I think I am longing for lazy days, but not at all having any! I've been wanting to blog the last few days but just haven't really had the time with so much going on at work. Staff changes, a massive project I just haven't been able to get done (sim builds that simply are not going to get done on time, doh), then there was Mothers Day where I couldn't stay sat at the pc all day! However, I managed to toss this together...finally.

The dress is from The Sea Hole (collabor88 item as well as the hammock) and the hammock is by Cheeky Pea. I absolutely love these items, even though I didn't pick up much at the event this time. The skin is Illusory with some makeup by Izzies and A.E. Meth. Standing pose by Fri.Day (wow, I still haven't cleaned up from pose fair, my inventory hates me right now lol) and one of my favorite hairs by Wasabi.

Oh lazy days better be coming soon! Things in other areas of life are settling down to where they are supposed to be. My stress has been slipping away and my friendship/relationships are falling into place. Its nice to be going to bed with a smile, instead of worry and anxiety, and then waking with the same smile in place. It can only get better from here.

Sometimes gifts inspire the most unexpected photos. Gifts as simple as the offering of friendship, of course. The last few weeks I have been spending a lot of my time trying to find where I 'fit'. Where do I need to be, who do I need to be with, and what is it I am doing here in the first place? During that time I have the expected chaos of a whirlwind of emotions, and the influence of a dozen different voices telling me what they think I should or shouldn't do amplifies it daily.

However, sometimes...there is a friend that is calm and is simply there. Not always talking, not a constant chatter or questions or fishing or probing or...I could go on for days. Someone who reminded me that its ok to take time for yourself. I've always neglected myself more than anyone or anything else in my life. I think that should change. Even though its not about you, those of you that know who you are, I thank you for letting it be about me. I value you guys more than you know.

So today, the picture, the words, the song, please don't get offended. Its not about you. Today its about me. Big girls don't cry, except...when they do.

A little happier with the computer today, this picture didn't turn out all that bad at all. This is the dock over at the parcel of land that holds my meeroo's, yes yes I said meeroo's! Don't judge me, they are adorable. Anyway, was cleaning out my main folder and stumbled across this dress and jewelry by Izzie's and had forgotten buying it! I love it, pink and I get alone really well, and this dress is absolutely me. Its a nice day out here, as everyone on the East Coast is preparing for Irene to come and stop by. A picture off the docks as the storm rolls in seemed fitting.

Thinking of everyone out there that has to settle in for a nice long storm, I hope everyone is ok! Irene, be kind!
