Yes, yes…been very very quiet on the blog front. Unfortunately we experienced a loss in my family that took us all a bit by surprise and the handling will be on-going for the next few months. That’s why B blogged. Well not really. See, the reason she blogged is because I also found myself three states down wind on a spur of the moment trip to go see the newest addition to our family. She’s adorable and although the last week has been very hard, it was a welcome break.

So yup, I finally managed to break free of that box B really didn’t put me in. I’m blaming her lack of bacon offerings and coffee with holdings. She’ll insist there is no box. She may be stretching the truth. Really. Cause I have the box. Actually two of them. Which really do need to go out in the mail to her. I’ve been procrastinating long enough.

Anyway, I’m back. Tired….but back. I’ll be logging in world tomorrow to check my messages, most likely in the evening.

good to be home even if my mind is more scattered then usual.

Hi.  It’s Bridget.  Yes, I know you came here to find out where Misty has been.  Don’t worry, she is fine.  She is tied up with some “real life stuff” and will be back eventually.

I am sure you have read those lines several times and are asking “Did she really give the keys to her blog to Bridget and wander off to the Real World?”  Well, truth be told, I have a copy hidden from her and only use them when she is away.  Why?  Well, if you know Misty, you’d know why I don’t blog on her site unless I can get a head start run from the orb that is sure to follow.  Not to mention, you’re here for her, not me.  Many of you don’t even know me.  In which case, I really am a nice person.  And if you do know me, stop laughing!

Eh-hem, where was I?  Oh yes, I remember now.  This is Misty’s blog.  I know she usually dazzles her readers with pictures, humor, fashion and tales of her life outside of the webiverse, however, all you get from me is text.  This text.  Right here.  That you are reading now.  Well, not now NOW, but now.  Because now NOW I am typing this, but when you read it, it won’t be now NOW it will be now.  Or do I have that backwards?

Anyhow, now that everyone is confused, I am going to toss some food into the closet that does not contain our mutual friend and see how long it takes before she escapes.  *nods*  And, just for record, again, she did say to let you all know she is fine and will be back eventually.  The rest, well, I’m sure she won’t mind…

Now I have to seriously step up my game. Please go and check out Serishens rendition of Cry little Sister I can guarantee that you won’t regret it!

She’s picking the next song we do, this should be interesting. She has the best eclectic taste in music and it’s always something new (for me anyway)!

(ppsssttttt I say others throw down the challenge and get in on this…..creativity at it’s finest through the eyes of others!)

My friend Serishen has started making video’s and brought back the bug to be a bit creative. Some time ago, we had discussed doing video’s for Cry Little Sister from the Lost Boys Movie. I took a jump and went ahead and completed mine because I couldn’t wait.

Serishen..this one is for you!

Cry Little Sister

It’s been 20 years and my cluster of a class is attempting yet another reunion. I say cluster because we were large, with many different cliques and personalities that always didn’t get along. Heck, I’m still not sure if half get along. In any case, I found out a long lost friend or two will be there. Possibly 10-12 of them, so at 5:30 this morning, the man and I decided we were going to.

The only problem with going is that I lost my password to the site to print the form and get it in. I know….I know! The Man has his, so if my email doesn’t come through, he can still print it off tonight. Isn’t he the best?

Next month, I’ll get to dress up all fancy like, go have a glass of wine or a bottle of beer and remember fondly times of way back when. Or try to remember. Here’s the other part of the problem. Other then a few instances, unfortunately most of my years of high school is but a fuzzy memory. I normally rely on another good friend (who I will be calling this evening!) to remind me of over half the crap we did during that hazy time of my life. I’m not sure she is going, so things might be a little rough for me with a whole lotta confused face looks and “I did that?” going on.

The best part though is my husband and I both graduated at the same time. The thing is though we didn’t really become friends until our senior year for the most part. He sorta thought I was a huge bitch because I couldn’t remember his name. Which considering the source, NOW isn’t that big of a deal. Apparently back then it was. We didn’t hang out together, so his memories are different from mine. It will be interesting to hear about the crazy things he did in high school. I get stories now and then from a cousin who is younger then us that hung out with his crowd. But as the nosy wife, I want more stories. Then I want to blog them. KIDDING…..maybe *winks*.

5:30am and the first decision of the day has been made. I’m being productive right?

It’s been one thing after another and the month is almost over. For that I say, thank goodness!

Productivity when you have a sick self and sick family is hit and miss, currently working on Christmas stuff.

Local Cheer will be starting soon, that’s time consuming.

My friend Serishen made a video, even though she had to shorten it thanks to some WMM issues, I still think it turned out great, you can see it here Lila Bleu Empty Streets and yeah, that’s me back there.

The cats are all finally getting along. Sorta. I guess that’s all I can hope for.

And that folks, is my October in a nutshell. Here’s to a much better November!

One of the girls at the Shelter mentioned that we needed a Pumpkin Tiki Torch and since I was trying to stay awake to watch Glee, I figured I would make one and put it out with the other Shelter Decorations.

Then, because the Shelter is new resident friendly area, I decided to make it free at MS: Main Landscaping. Because free is good, I like halloween and suddenly am craving pumpkin pie.

Anyway! Free Pumpkin Tiki Torch at MS: Main and it’s copy….go grab one and check out the other halloween items that are there as well as the Pixeldolls outfits along the ridge and fun landscaping items!

Quick picture…

Earlier today I took a picture and put it up on plurk. Apparently it was a nice picture, so I took a few more as requested (although in the same stand, you’ll see why in a minute) and decided it would be easier to blog the information then plurk it. So here’s my story on how I have a little bit of Paeoti by my side…..

About a week or ago, I asked Dylan Rickenbacker from Dylanmoves about making me some animations for a RP character I have. The character is going to have a limp for the rest of her life and needed a walking stick and figured he would be a great one to help me out. In the end, he made two different crutch stand animations/walking animations as well as the walking stick animations which has two stands and one walk. Passing over the final animations, I immediately set to work making my very first walking stick:

Needs a bit more work, but the beginning stages are coming along nicely. The ball at the top is a bit transparent and has a very small amount of glow. The flowers are my favorite and the vine needs a bit of work as well as tip for the bottom.

Picture of myself holding the walking stick. That’s the Paeoti…more on that in a second!

Tuli Skin Kalista light 18 cause I think it rocks.

This last picture is the one that prompted me to blog when I really wasn’t going to until I had all the stick completely finished and a few more made, ready to go as well knowing if Dylan had set the animations out for sell yet. Quaintly was curious about the outfit and Shocked wanted to see some closer pictures.

Once I started digging around in my inventory, I realized that it was one of my first outfits that took me to the dark side. I purchased this dress from NYMPHETAMINE BOUTIQUE and designed by Paeoti Pomeray although back in April of 2007. It’s called Paeoti Dark Victorian Nights and I’m not even sure it’s still up for sale let alone how much I paid for it. I’m not even sure why I refer to Paeoti as such instead of Nymphetamine….maybe that was the original name? I used to have a lot more of the outfits but I think my inventory either ate them or they might have been transfer only and I sent them along to alts. Possibly even sold them in a yard sale at one point. I do know this, I’m heading back to do some shopping because I think I fell in love with the darker side of our world all over again and think everyone needs a little bit of Paeoti by their side.

I wanted to write today but didn’t know what to write about. So clicked my ‘oneword’ link and discovered it’s not working. Actually had to type out long hand (is so!) ‘oneword’ to get the webpage. My word is pool. What the heck am I gonna do with that word? It’s cold, my pool is drained of everything except leaves and pool toys. I could probably get up, go outside and remove said pool toys but why bother? It’ll be summer again soon and we’ll be one step ahead by having them already in there ready to use. See how that works?

Yeah…no writing about pools for me. No siree bob. I’m gonna write about other more important things. Like how my husband gave me his cold. I’m very thankful for this. Very nice of him. I even tweeted it through plurk cause that’s how he keeps track my crazyness on the webz. Granted, all he has to do is sit at my computer and yank up bookmarks. But why? When he can sit at his own computer and yank bookmarks up that way. Makes much more sense to me. Besides, I don’t share computer time very well. Yep…a big ol’ thank you and a complete saliva smearing kiss to the man of my life. Then a cough on him *nods* I’m nice like that. Actually, he’s pretty sick so if nothing else when he reads this, he’ll get a good laugh and I can watch him shake his heading and do that super cute *sigh* that he does. Parts of why I love him so.

And this is what happens when you give a Misty the word Pool.

Thanks Oneword!

If there was ever any question about whether blog stat’s actually work properly, I can officially answer that with a very affirmative, NO. Although I don’t pay attention too much to the stat’s, I do occasionally glance at them. Apparently yesterday….a day I did not blog….I managed to receive 292 hits. As if! My average hits a day with rare exceptions are anywhere between 30 and 60, which is nice. So yeah, for those who ever wondered if blog stats actually worked properly, I would have to say no. Nice when we can get affirmative answers right?

On to something a bit more interesting, or at least I think it is. Last night, Kevin came to visit and he was wearing his fantastic dragon avatar from wyrmling. Somewhere along the line, I had to brb and that’s when all hell broke lose. I’m not exactly why (we’ll blame Dawne since she’s clearly in all the pictures) but Kevin decided to change back into his human form. We all know this task, on occasion, will go ways we don’t want it to go. It’s a given. But I have never seen a simple change go this bad before.

Behold…the pictures:

(see..this is what we call…hell I don’t even know what to call it.)

(see Dawne is typing to him…he’s starting….well sorta…to take on a normal appearance. Maybe *blinks*)

(I can’t even watch this mess…I had to turn away. Runky looks a bit worried and fidgety and notice Dawne? She’s just standing there getting ready to flip her hair and file her nails)

(and the real Kevin stands up!)

After the tears from laughing so hard stopped streaming down my face, I came to the very important conclusion and learned a valuable lesson from Sir Kevin. Never….ever….ever…..change avatars while someone is around and willing to take pictures. Especially one who has a blog and isn’t afraid to use it.

And this concludes the post for today. Be well….make merry….enjoy life and drink coffee.
