We did it. We got past the midweek hurdle. Personally it was a struggle but I am struggling in general to ever get anything done these days. The ennui or laziness that seems to own me is pervasive. I’m trying to fight it but, the struggle is real.
I probably just need to go shopping.
Shopping fixes everything, right?

I’m feeling domestic this Monday evening so despite being overdressed for it, I’m doing a bit of baking in my extremely silly kitchen. I swear I’m going to put in a proper kitchen at some point but this one makes me giggle and thus, for now it stays.
How was your Monday? Mine was pretty great, despite the fact that I’m still vexed that I didn’t get the chair that matches my desk and it’s not out at the mainstore yet.
Some day. Until then, I’ll just eat these pies.

I didn’t start off my day planning to be a lazy Monday, but I think my relaxing weekend was too relaxing. I couldn’t get myself motivated AT ALL so then, I just decided to do some day drinking.
Luckily, my favorite bar tender was on duty.
Back off Ladies and Gents, he’s MINE!
With Boots on hand to serve up the strongest drinks on the grid, I was assured of a perfect day drinking experience.
It was a Monday Martini kind of day, I thought, and truly, alliteration in your cocktail choices is a sign of civilization isn’t it? I think so.
Rainbow Rooms is a perfect spot for cocktails, day or night. Now, I think I need a nap.

Did Putrid specifically get the baby pool out for me? I’ll never know, but I have to say I spent a lot of time getting wrinkled fingers in it this weekend. It’s a perfect size for a party of 1!
Lake swimming isn’t always my favorite but I have to say, these waters are gorgeous. The linden trailers are so cute, especially lake or river side.
Alas, I’ve got to go home and get back to my regularly scheduled SLife.
It’s been a while since I had somewhere regular to go, and my friend Muff’s RAINBOW REEF beach side bar was just the thing a few days ago. I don’t need to be coerced to buy swimwear. And – I don’t need shoes. This might just be the relaxing zone of my dreams.
My friend Putrid was hanging out and as I love her more than my luggage I ran over to consume ridiculous booze and chill with her. She was being decorative, as per her norm, if somewhat sloppy with her booze. My goodness woman don’t spill!
Your evening can be mellow and chill with good drinks at Rainbow Reef. But man do us all a favor, if you need to do some weird lesbian incest roleplay, keep that in your privates. NOBODY IN LOCAL WANTS TO HEAR ALL THAT.

I headed over to Nutmeg to do a little shopping and wandered around the property a while. I found this trolley that has seen better days and and errant moon.
I’m wandering the grid today in search of the chair that matches my new desk and it’s apparently not out at the main store and this is my fault for not having bought it when I bought the desk. Why did I think that my 10454050 desk chairs I already own would work? Why? Because I was being cheap that’s why.
So now I must buy the chair not only because it matches but also because it matches.
I tried on one of Exile’s lovely short styles so I could show off my silly bear earrings I picked up at the SL17B birthday bash.
Brunette Gidge is liking the change. Maybe Brunette for a while? Hard to say. Gidge does like change.
There’s a lot of planning that goes in to putting on a perfect July 4 shindig so I had to get started early. How much food is too much? Who even knows?
I decided to give the grill a cleaning and a run through tonight. Stop judging me, some of that meat is for the neighbors. No really I’m very hospitable.
I practiced making drinks and sampling my own wares I have to say, these are delicious. I think I’m about ready for the big day tomorrow.
ChicChica had a FUN little group gift out for all you 4th of July types. I had to get one. SUPER cute.
All this getting ready for the big day has me completely worn out. Are you ready? What are your plans?
I picked up these amazingly comfy PRIDE sneaks from BLEICH and I recommend you run don’t walk to grab them for 50L if they are still there. Perfect, comfy shoes.
Bring on the 4th!

One would think, with two boys under 5 at home, my life would be filled with toy cars and firetrucks… well, actually, it is. But my oldest is also very much into princesses at the moment. Very. Much. His imaginary friends are called Anna and Elsa. So when he walked by my computer earlier this morning, he went “waaaaaaaaah! Mummy!! You’re a PRINCESS!! So pretty!”
Also, I finally gave in and got myself one of the new Evolution heads at LeLutka. Actually that happened a while ago but it took me weeks to make it look like “me”. Now, I’m quite pleased, because I can wear some of my old system skins. Not today though, today, I’m wearing one of the latest Lara Hurley, and I have to say I love it.

Did you wake up ready to face another day grinding it out on the grid? What’s your poison? Roleplay? Shopping? Racing cars? Sumo wrestling? Whatever it is, I hope you plunge in headfirst today and make the most of your amazing day ahead. Let’s make this a great day guys!
The clothes are a gift from the Stay at Home Club. Totally cute, comes with a nice HUD for color selection. Slight quibble int hat the shoulders clip wrong if you stand certain ways and are wonky – but free isn’t a price I complain about and as you can see, if you don’t stand that way it’s just fine.
I’m not sure what brand it’s from, as in the folder it just had some symbol. Folks, put your name on your products. Don’t expect your bloggers to do work to find who you were in a sea of 1000 other things they have lined up to blog. That’s a tip for everyone not just this brand.
Happy Tuesday girls!
