One Belle Avenue, Second Life

Just a quick post before I head off to a night full of wonderful slumber (hopefully).

Today was Black Friday and it sucked - waiting in long lines and still not getting what I wanted gave me a killer headache. I came home and logged into SL and prepared for the One Eleven Event. I tried and tried to get to the vent, but TP try after try, I was denied. I figured the SL Black Friday was going to go the way of my RL Black Friday, until finally, this came up on my chat: [06:05 PM]  Requesting Teleport...
[06:05 PM]  Contacting new region.

I was SO happy! I was in the One Eleven Event.  Time to start clicking 'buy' on the items I wanted. Then, SCREECH!!  The prices were outrageous! There were no deals like in RL Black Friday - just limited edition items. I had to rethink things - fast - because there were a lot of bitchiness in the room (remove your prims, you're causing lag; stop moving, you're causing lag; you're standing still, you're causing lag; and my favorite, you're talking, you're causing lag).

So I picked up the !Ohmai Azure's Pico Sweater {Vintage}. I had to have this.  It's a lovely sweater. I had to do very little adjusting to the prims. Maybe I finally got my, uh, breast size right LOL!

So after completing last week's 52 Weeks of Color Challenge (link to my post), I went to post my blog URL on Luna's site and saw the color for this week - Goldenrod! And the first thought in my head was YIKES - This is gonna be a hard one! But then again, I got to do some shopping to pull this outfit together.

I'm bored!!! I've got to get out of this place!

Time to play in the snow

Brrr...I'm getting cold. Time to head inside!

Ah crap! Hope no one saw me fall on my ass!

My ego and ass are bruised.  *boohoohoo*

I have a confession to make....I am a collector of skyboxes (oh, might as well add houses to that list).  And my collector sense got all excited when Stacie Pryor plurked that she created a skybox.  I absolutely love when she blogs her SLinterior decorating. I seriously would pay her to stage my house when I sell again. Just this week, she set her 'get lost/get found skybox' for sale on XStreetSL.  (and yes, I did a happy dance as I signed into XStreetSL!)  I was even happier when I saw that the price is quite reasonable.

I added some shutters to it (more to block out my mess in the sky).  I'm still decorating it. Artwork is always the last thing for me - even in my RL house; my art is still in the moving boxes. But I wanted to get this posted, since it seems like I haven't blogged in forever.  Hope you enjoy :-)
