Another extremely busy day today, so I was a bit lazy and am just blogging what I wandered around for work in. Yes, clearly, I bought more than I should of with the new coldLogic release, the tube and jacket sets are amazing. Matched with a necklace by Cailyn's and pants by Jane, I was good to go for work.

Now that work is over, I could seriously use a little bit of fun. I didn't get a picture of it, but slipping on a mini-skirt and ditching the jacket becomes the perfect after work time to go dancing look. Oh, why didn't I get a picture? Because SL took that opportunity to refuse to clear up my face, in any skin, ever again. Oh SL. I do love to hate you.

Good grief I could use some stress relief, people. Let me hide behind my ignorance for the evening, please.

I've counted myself very lucky the last couple of years that I don't ever spend any holiday really alone. I have a partner I adore, pardon the scandal, and am looking forward to a wonderful Christmas with him this year. However, we don't have much time outside of EQ2 to play in SL and goodness gracious me, getting him to be still long enough to take a picture is nearly impossible! I stood and waited, and waited, and waited, just no luck yet. All was not lost! In his place today is this sad little noob, hey, they need kisses on Christmas too!

The table set also comes in an amazing blue and ice color tone. I stood in the store for an hour debating which one I wanted, I think in the end people must of thought I was insane. Please, no comments of agreement! After setting the table and waiting around under the mistletoe for a while, I gave up! Who started this darn ole tradition anyway?

A huge thank you to the designer of HopScotch for putting up with my random ideas. She sat and chattered with me a bit last night and got these poses out for "The Mistletoe Dilemma" over night!! I was so surprised to get up today and find she not only had the poses done, but released, and I adore them! Thank you so much Chandni! If you haven't visited either shop, The Loft or ~*HopScotch*~, you are honestly missing out!

As was tradition on my last, now long gone, blog...just mild rambling. Home is fast becoming chaotic as I plan and pack for the kids to visit the other half of their family up in VA for the holidays. I knew we wouldn't be able to do an extravagant Christmas here, times are tough all over, and I knew we couldn't afford to rent a van for all of us to go (7 people in a car that seats 5 is a no-no) I've arranged for the youngest to stay home with me and everyone else is off to be with family that will spoil them and love getting to see them anyway. As of, oh, an hour ago, my mother and brother are on their way back to California so it will really be a quiet holiday around here.

Luckily I will be spending those quiet evenings with Sands, while we didn't get to spend any time together last holiday season he is eagerly ready to put up with me this year. Or, at least, he says he is! He may be dreading it lately as I get grumpy from the chaos. Maybe, just maybe, I can sneak him under that mistletoe.

Wishing you each a wonderful week ahead, and a beautiful Sunday!

When the designer of Mischief had her sale a couple of months ago, with the announcement that she would be moving on to something new, I cant help but admit a small sadness at the end of Mischief. Even though its been moved on somewhere else, without Janie its just not the same Mischief I spent the last few years in SL filling my inventory with. I recently found her new store, JANE, and started a new folder to fill with her designs! I've spent time landscaping my new sim and thought it would be best to spend fall with JANE!
