Making Room For Something New

      It's time for THE PURGE! I don't mean the movies (which I have never seen), but an inventory one. It's time to make room for all the new things in life and let some of the old go. Yes that is totally a metaphor for life. It seems 2020 is the year of deep thoughts for me. Fret not, for I am sure it won't last long. In fact I know it won't! 

      I have been on a big cleaning and sorting and organizing binge lately. Clearing away the old and the clutter helps me think clearer in both worlds. Of course cleaning up my SL inventory is way easier, I can box things up and not have to worry about where to store it, there is no hauling stuff to the trash bins, or donation centers. Just a few clicks of a button and poof all sorted. Oh well at the end of the day life moves on and we should be willing to as well. Enough of my waxing philosophical I will see you again soon, with something a little less deep.

Music Mondays - Hate Myself For Loving You

Growing up I was a big fan of Joan Jett. In fact I used to drive my older sisters crazy but singing "I Love Rock & Roll" all the time. For the record I was four and it was their fault for intoducing me to her. So that being said it should come as no surprise that I have at least one Joan Jett song of my Music Mondays rotation.

Just in case you are wondering I did not pick this song thinking about someone specific. I think there is at least one time in our lives we regreted the feelings we had for someone. I was feeding off of that place. Since this photo is on the dark side, lighting wise I mean, I decided to take another shot to show you what I am wearing a little better. This is the point in this whole project that I realized it might be a good idea.

I don't look nearly as badass and brooding when the lights are turned back on.

All the lemons

      They say when life hands you lemons you should make lemonade. The only way that lemonade is going to help is if there is something a lot stronger mixed in. Why am I mentioning this time worn saying you may wonder, well life handed me a crop of lemons in the last couple of months. No one warned my when your hip joint is inflamed that it can hurt like a monkey trucker! Sitting, walking, anything and everything hurts. Luckily it has been all handled and I can move on. Starting with this post and it's lemons.


      Honestly though if life is giving you lemons bake them into something delicious or use it for garnish on a nice strong drink. Now spring has sprung and one of my favorite yearly events is around the corner things are going to start picking up again! The one thing being stuck away from the computer has done is given me lots of ideas so beware!
