The Lazy Sunbather

Those of you who know me know how preposterous it is for me to call myself a lazy sunbather, but I looked up lyrics and found this sad little song about lazy sunbathers and it stuck in my head.


The diversity at *Diamond Style* continues to make me smile. I’ve been working with them for about a month now and have seen everything from lingerie to fancy gowns to this sexy mesh swimsuit. And I’ve only begun to know this designer. I know there’s more to come. Meanwhile, I did pause for a rare few minutes at a beach on a towel to take this photo. Lazy? For a half second anyway.

Just to See You Smile

I’d do anything, that you wanted me to… lyrics from one of my favorite country music artists Tim McGraw… defines the core of my personality. It takes a long time for me to really get comfortable around people, but once I am, I’d do anything just to see them smile.

Easter in Canada.

sic3

Someone asked me what we did in Canada for Easter. That questions always leaves me torn …. between being a good citizen and telling the truth.

sic1

I should tell them we colour our Easter eggs, attend church, have family dinner, eat chocolate and do the whole fluffy bunny and little chick thing. I should pull out Hallmark cards and point out all the Canadians playing the role of people embracing the wonders of spring with babbling brooks and birds singing and blue skies with white fluffy clouds. But we have the internet now …

sic2

And how do I hide the pictures of people in their winter gear trying to shovel through the snow in minus 40 degree weather to find their cars? Any bunnies or chickies in that mess are clearly dead, and the children are fighting over pieces of coal they can use to warm their hands.

It isn’t exactly a “Come visit Canada in the springtime” kind of Easter vacation invite now is it?

Every Time That You Walk In the Room

Can you tell by now that I’m a hopeful romantic? Often people use the phrase ‘hopeless romantic’ but I think if one contends the idea to be hopeless, they’re not truly a romantic at all. I believe anything and everything can and does happen in good time to people who pour their hearts into the things they love best.


This week I was honored to be added to the group of bloggers who work with the creative genius behind *Diamond Style*. This store has a plethora of great designs that include formal, dressy, chic, and urban. There are hairstyles and skins and shoes as well. I have so much fun just window shopping, so to speak.


The first dress I chose to share, I chose for a special reason. The basic mesh dress is one I’ve had the chance to wear previously, but I’ve never seen a designer add such delicate and intricate pieces to it to personalize it so well.


The longer I blog, the more natural and fun it is to me. It gives me the chance to work with people as diverse as our world is, and as creative and unique as each fingerprint and every snowflake. I get to know the designers, work with their art, and write. 



I know it’s hard to believe, but I’m the type of person who writes epistles instead of emails, and get teased often for it.» View author and full post…

Weighing in On Dating and Marriage in SL … Because it is MY Blog and I Can.

dot1

I thought when we grow up we are supposed to mature and be better able to handle things. All the manuals say this.  Dr. Phil has said this.  I know people watch Dr. Phil.  All the Disney movies show little cute animals growing up and moving on to more adult ideals.  Those Brady Bunch Kids grew up.  How come no-one is applying the valuable television lessons to real life anymore? 

Why can’t people date and be married in Second Life even if they are married or dating in real life?

Why does everyone care?

Why does everyone involve themselves in it?  (you can imagine a ticking clock here if you want … just like on 60 Minutes)

I mean when I was 8, I was dating Victor Rogerson in real life. It was very serious.  We were shopping in the Sears Catalogue for China Patterns.  Meanwhile I had a Barbie Doll who was dating and/or married to “Ken” numerous times. In fact she was also dating and married to “Dustin” who looked liked Ken but was his much nicer brother the Airline Pilot . . . as well as Gi-Joe . . .  and Bob the Sock Monkey.

I didn’t catch any grief from Victor about me cheating on him.

My hubby is hanging around the house again … it is raining and there is no golfing allowed otherwise he would be out there any way.

We are talking about a man who had to go out walking when it was like 57 below with the wind chill factor in Canada – just so he could see what it was like. That was right after he heard the newsman say, “Police are asking everyone to stay in doors and keep warm, exposed flesh will freeze in about half a nano-second.” I think “you shouldn’t do that” is like waving a red flag in front of a charging bull or something for Aussie men … not sure …

Anyway the police brought him home. They found him walking and pulled over and shone their flashlights at him and just said one word that basically summed it all up for everyone’s understanding …. “Australian?”

I got a lecture about not keeping better track of him.

But here in Australia he is good to go. They don’t send police out to collect idiots here …

I think that is because the police are most likely golfing with them in the monsoon ….

Stating the Obvious.

ida1

I was a child of stating the obvious … even after I had been repeatedly punished and warned that no-one wants to hear it and people do not like obvious girls.  (if you could get one of the older women in the office to hold a wooden spoon and sternly shake it at the rest of you while you read that last line … it would be perfect)

  ida2

We were having a conversation around the Sunday dinner table with relatives about a new baby, the colour of hair, and who the baby resembled or took after.  We discussed almost every colour of hair and which ancient relative was responsible for it and how it all filtered down into the masses.  Someone said that one of the brothers of the baby had a touch of red in his hair, like Grandpa.

My eyes darted from the speaker to my grandfather, confused beyond belief, and my mouth dropped open.  I double checked before I insisted they were wrong because Grandpa clearly had PINK hair.

He was bald.

(everyone should gasp and the stern lady with the wooden spoon should make her eyes go slitty)

I just would like to say the technically I was part of the “we” as in “we were discussing” and that if the adults intend “we” to exclude the shorter and less advanced in age, they should perhaps have served us our dinner in front of the TV where we wouldn’t be distracted by the lies they like to tell each other ….
