When I was a kid, I just loved going out on a wintery day when the snow was really sticky and build snowmen with my friends. But lately, the weather in my part of the world has been very mild, a little snow, but definitely mild. One day it snowed so all of a sudden I had mushy / a-little-on-the-sticky-side snow. I definitely got the urge to build. I went outside to roll snow to make something creative but noticed my neighbours shoveling or sweeping so embarassment kept me from rolling the balls for the snowmen. All of a sudden I thought....wait...I can go to my other world...so I did.
I called up my friend, Chloe who is always game for doing something fun and we spent a great time outside on a picture perfect day.
Good Night for now.

I don't own any "furry" items. I'm not sure it's a moral issue with me. I'm just not into it. BUT....this morning the thermometer read -33C.
"Yeah", I thought. "Hmmm. And will the car start? What if the gas line freezes and I have to walk?"
So on that note, I dug out the furs.
The practical me is on the right. Great coat with fur trim and hood to keep my ears from freezing; woolen sweater with wool pants; and knee high leather, lined lace up boots. Of course you need heavy gauge knitted mitts to keep your fingers from freezing. All good for keeping you warm and safe from the extreme cold and biting wind that we seem to be having right now.
However, my alter ego likes to look cool while trying to maintain warmth. The fur head band keeps the ears warm - at least; the short leather jacket has fur trim - at least; the leather pants and unlined leather boots...ehhhhh. Gloves do not keep fingers from freezing but they do look very sleek. I mean...like...you have to keep up a great appearance. Don't you?
Even though it was an extremely cold, windy day, I managed to get outside. Ok...so it was only to run to the car, drive to work and then run into the building but still...come on....give me some slack! I'm a northerner! I would never get outside if I waited for warm January weather. It just won't happen.
Good Night for now.

The other day I realized that this year was coming to an end. Where did the time go to? When did the days go by so fast? Why didn't I realize that everything was whizzing by? It was time to sit in my favourite chair and think about the year that passed me by.
This was a very exciting year for me. I met some new friends who will always be close to me. They're fun and always ready to go some place new. I've seen some great live musicians who are very talented and give their audiences their best. I've visited some truly amazing sites - ones that put me in awe of their creators who have the imagination to be able to put their dreams into production.
The presents that have been sent my way have been truly amazing. I've received some awesome gifts from clothes designers, who manage to keep me in satin and furs; from jewelry makers who decorate me in diamonds and pearls; and to hair entrepreneurs who enable me to change my look at my every whim. I'm a shoe fanatic and have hundreds in my inventory from stilettos to runners, from boots to sandals. And who can pass up the skin makers who give me that flawless, unlined face.
The furniture originators make my house look like it came from Architectural Digest with only the latest in design. I'm able to dance like a pro; stand like a diva and walk like a model all because talented people know how to make poses that mirror human movement. It amazes me at all this talent that has made my second life so exciting.
And of course, I'm thrilled that I have you, you who read my ramblings and rantings. I've learned a lot in the few months that I've been writing my diary and I expect to learn more in the new year. I'm really looking forward to that!
Many thanks to all of you for what you've given me this past year. Thank you for the best Second Life.
Good Night for now.
