A New Home Brings ...

... a smile to my little pixel face. For quite some time, I would talk about getting a new place perhaps something by the water. Today was the day! Setting out on a focused mission only to look for land (ok I did go some shoe shopping for like 5 minutes). hehe After searching for about an hour, I found "the" place. Perfect for me ... a good size plot, water, a very friendly estate owner and best of all in my price range!

ahhh .... home ...

Its so good to be home

Warning - RL post!

Travelling for work is never fun. This trip has been planned for several weeks for me to bounce around to a few East Coast locations. Last minute, late Tuesday nite, I get a call to not visit one site instead spend the "extra" time in New York. Great for me as its only a short trip but of course a shade too far to commute back home. Kinda forgot how nice New York state is ... and how pretty North New Jersey can be in a snow storm!

Why Not?!

My day was busy busy!! Sat around with a few Tiny Empires family members doing some shuffling around of subjects and I was finally able to spend some quality time with a very good friend of mine. But really all day I have wanted to get over to a Wild West sim ... no clue why ... just wanted to go - why not right?! Now I went I can cross that off my "Places to Visit" list.

Merry Christmas

May your hearts be filled with love and joy this holiday season!

Merry Christmas

Music rules my SLife ... or vice versa?

Somehow this song came to mind for this pic ... hmmm

If Your Friends Jumped From a Train ...

... would you? Ummm .. hellzya! Snooping through Flickr snaps, I saw so many people jumping from this train ... and well I just *had* to try it.
When I arrived, I instantly fell in love with The Far Away. The rusted texutres, the tall wheat fields, and the endless possiblities for the imagination.
AM Radio created this fantastic location. As the popularity grew, he decided to give something back. With every purchase of either a wheat field, rusted car, locomotive, etc., all the monies will go Heifer International Charity.
As I was standing in the fields writing this post, more people started to appear. I stood and watched... many just came to explore, AM chatted with me for a short bit, and then someone (like me) jumped from the train! The longer I stayed the more hidden poses and animations I found ... will I tell you? No. Check it out for yourself... do it all or do nothing at all ... whatever it is - help support Heifer International!

Miss me?!

Remmy me?! I haven't written in so long ... yes I know. SLife for me lately has been spent on at Kindly, getting ready for my 1-year party and well the usual shopping.

1-Year Rezz Party
What an utter blast!! I had so much fun ... of course my awesome friend Bannock Ogg was spinning tunes. He even closed the party with a Blues set just for me!!


Shopping
I have been looking for more unique places to shop. I have found Etched, DarkEden, Kyoot Army and newly opened Armidi. Ducky and I toured the Fashion Victim sim for their treasure hunt ... despite the awful lag - it was a blast! That sim is loaded with awesome store, great treats for the hunt and wacky pose balls for pics.


KSU
I will let the pics tell the story (yes I love slideshows!).

Ah the Great Pumpkins!

I ventured out a few days ago on the "Great Quest for Furniture" ... and returned with ginormous pumpkins. Ok so its not furniture ... but could be if carved the right way! hmmm not sure if I really recommend that ... yeah I don't. I still don't have furniture ... but I got big mellons!
hmmm are pumpkins mellons?! They are now! :P

Playing Dress Up

Its always fun to dress up ...

Moulin Rouge

The Bellagio

Nothing to do

Today marks the first real day of being Stevesless. Since I was off traveling in RL for a portion of the weekend, I came back to questions about our rental properties. After the IMs, it was time to shop and really just explore... really nothing too exciting. So what to do until Tuesday when my Steves comes home...

PillowTalk

Steves and I went off exploring ... ok really we wanted to goof off alittle. *giggles* Over the weekend I bought a few items from PillowTalk. (Get your mind outta the gutter ... its a pose store people! ... ummm that even sounded "wrong".) For the most part the poses/animations are set in pillows, benches, swings, ... or set in trees; many I haven't seen before. I could go totally broke in a store like this ... I wanted every set and pose!

While I am gone ...

*Warning: RL event*
Yes I am going away this weekend ... going to see family.

While I am gone, check out these cool places:
This Side of Heaven - a new club
Whatchama Call It Tattoos & Tee Shirt Shop - the largest and the crazies tee shirt shop
Battered Boudoir - Women's Clothing, accessories, tattoos. Great quality at a low cost
Givenchi Garment District - Second Life's Hottest Designers in one place

Stuck ... sorta

Once again, teleporting is down inworld.. and again I am stuck. But really I can't really call it "stuck" since I am in Morocco! Just when I dusted off my virtual passport, SL decides to force me to thumb it around the world. Umm, does this mean I have to hoof it everywhere? Hmm ... what shoes should I wear??!

Mount Aurora Artists Village East

This morning, my friend, GM Nikolaidis, brought me to see his art gallery (GMP Photography) and discuss future business plans. While there he showed me this beautifully designed sim, Breeze. Mount Aurora Artists Village East is a soothing setting to watch stunning sunsets, browse amazing art studios and really just get lost in the details and textures.

Goofin' Off

Midsummer's Dream

I usually go exploring myself ... stopping every so often to take in some of the views and take pics. In the early morning hours, I found myself watching the sunset in Midsummer's Dream. This sim is not only gorgeous and filled with secret cuddle nooks but the atmosphere is set by the soothing ambient music. A great place to be by yourself or take that loved one to snuggle...

Mexico ~ Chichen Itza

Nothing like exploring Mexico ... and taking cute pictures of me :)

Cocololo Island

A friend of mine told me about this beautiful resort. He told me to take someone special and plan to stay for a long time. I had this LM for weeks now. Today was the day I decided to explore ... and perhaps tonight take that special guy in my Slife.

Cocololo island has so many amenities which includes a spa, wedding chapel and reception hall. On my short scouting expedition to the island, I found myself enjoying the smooth music and the mellow atmosphere as I reclined in the water or was set a drift in a lagoon.

Going beyond the peaceful setting, there is a club, scuba diving area, public beach and bar. Truely this will keep one busy for hours or lovers content for the afternoon or evening.

Calleta's Hobo Railroad Infohub

After seeing Orhalla yesterday, I decided to check out his profile. First I was impressed not only by his look but the backstory I found on his profile. Then I saw the Calleta's Hobo Railroad Infohub that he created. I decided to trapse over to check it out myself. I was throughly impressed!! Tons of great information and a truely well designed and well planned themed sim.
