Conversation Hearts

Leave a reply

I have a deeply etched love for creators who tell you what the free gift is that they’re giving away at events. Today I’m celebrating three of these champions from Shop & Hop who pulled me in with their cute offering.

Why does it matter so much what your free gift is? Well, technically it doesn’t. But I don’t want to pick up a bunch of random stuff, honestly. I look at free gifts as a chance to check out your work for free, and I do go back and patronize those folks whose work I like. No one owes me a free gift, and I do truly appreciate them. But those champs who show what the items are – well you’re the true MVP folks.

These conversation heart jeans are a great example. While I was wandering through this booth, I saw them and my first thought was “Man, I wish those were the free gift!” and holy shit they were!

Are the seams perfect down the side? NO. It was FREE I don’t really care that they don’t dork around with the texture to match it up in this instance. The waist and the button, fly etc look fine and honestly it’s conversation heart jeans – so cute. I’m not too precious to sweat the seam on this.

My sweater is a little fuzzy but I like to think that’s because it’s cashmere. Right?

Free shoes, shirt and pants courtesy of find folks at Shop & Hop. I need to finish my run through it tomorrow to see what other goodies can be found!

How Do You Start Again

Leave a reply

I spent the weekend lounging on the boat with my friend Aliana, the dogs and of course, Mr Man who has some serious opinions let me tell you what. It’s kind of nice sometimes to have nothing to do and all day to do it. I don’t miss the days when my time on the grid was spent rushing to meet deadlines and blogging requirements.

It became not fun. And because it became not fun, I began to dread it.

And now that I’m back, albeit intermittently, I definitely find that I love everything more. Because now it’s on my terms and that makes me more invested in everything. It’s a freedom I lost, and won’t trade again.

Weekends on the house boat, wearing what I want, when I want? It may not be a perfect Second Life,but it’s entirely of my making. And there is no price tag on that.

Aliana, t hough, just wishes I would shut up and stop pontificating so we can go swim in the ocean.

She’s got a point.

Hope your weekend on the grid is beautiful, and everything you want it to be.

So Much To Say

I wasn’t sure where the day was going to lead me, but my friend Kitty offered for me to come sit with her and have a drink and truly, it was a brilliant idea for a Saturday afternoon.

It was a perfect day for catching up and visiting and I truly had the best time. I hope I get another invite soon so we can chat some more about everything and nothing.

I decided to go for an adventure driving in my car, but the damned rezz zone isn’t working near my house. Can you believe it? I had to choose another method of transport.

After an afternoon of enjoying my beverage and driving all around the Elms – why is no one ever home? – I decided to put up my camper and have a weekend camping seaside in my own backyard. After all, that’s one of the perks of living beachside, I don’t have to go anywhere to have awesome beach adventures!

All drinks should come with donuts. I have spoken.
