Today is the First Day of Spring

Dear Diary:

Yep...today is the Vernal Equinox, or the first day of Spring, where day and night are usually the same length.

It's almost 'spring' in my part of the world.  The mounds of snow are gone from my yard, leaving me with a feeling that soon I'll be able to get in my garden.  However, there's always that final HURRAH where we get the last snow of the season but hopefully it might pass us by this year.

In my other world, I've removed the snow from my roof and property and early this morning was out looking for flowers to plant.

I visited Herb's Garden, a place where I get most of my plants and trees.  Many of his items are changeable with the seasons which is a great feature when you're decorating your property.  Iris are so beautiful and have some many varieties.

I really enjoyed this jaunt into a sim full of beautiful plants and flowers that cover every type of climate you can get.  It certainly put me in the spring mood.

Good Night for now.

Amazing Avocado

Dear Diary:

Avocados can be used in so many ways.  You can put them in salads or sandwiches.  Make a great pesto for pasta.  Chop them into salsa or stuff them with fillings.  The only downfall is that they're really high in calories and fat, but it is a good fat, at least.

Just don't think about that when you're eating yummy guacamole!

I just love Luna's food colours for the Colour Challenge.  My mouth always starts to water as I'm writing the post.

A Coating of Patina

Dear Diary:

PAT-n-uh or pu-TEE-nuh, whatever way you pronounce it, is a beautiful colour.  It is a tarnish that forms on some metal over time, or a sheen on wooden furniture produced by age or a change in a surface through exposure or weathering or changes to colour from years of wear.

The Worst about a Trip is the Packing!

Dear Diary:

At this time every year, I go to visit relatives for a short shopping extravaganza!  There's nothing like a shop fest to get the adrenalin flowing.  However, before I can even get the excitement blooming, I need to do the packing.  Believe me, that's the absolute worst part for me.

Will the weather be cold?  Then I'd better take extra sweaters.  What if it's warm?  Well t-shirts should do!  I could run into snow.  For sure pack the boots, mitts and hat.  It could be unseasonably warm.  Take everything out of the suitcases and start over. 

I've ruled out fancy things since we don't really go out a lot.  Eating in is fine with me and after I've run around a couple of malls, I don't really feel like putting on the stilettos!

I shudder at the thought of packing.  I usually take way too much of everything and never enough of something.  I'll be filling and emptying the suitcases until it's time to leave for the airport.

Good Night for now.

Thinking of Today - Dress for the cause

Dear Diary:

This is my Thinking Day and the only time you won't see me in black when I think.  Today is Dress for the Cause and everyone is encouraged to wear pink in support of breast cancer.

This past year I lost a very good friend in my second life.  She had cancer and was strong to the end.  It touched me deeply and I wrote about it in "Thinking about Friendship .  I have a real life friend going through her second bout of breast cancer. I have seen what she has gone through with the surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.  I have been there with her and I don't want any of the other women I know to have to deal with that.  And, in addition to the physical issues, there is the emotional ravage to herself and to her family.  I'm not sure how one can handle all that and be left with sanity.

To all the marvelous and strong women who are in my life, who I've met through my vitual world, who read this blog, who are out there in Canada, Europe, Asia or beyond, please practice self examination, get your mammograms when you should, and see your doctor.  I don't want to lose anyone else in any world.

Moss Green

Dear Diary:
Moss green is such a pretty shade.  It reminds me of Fall so I dressed accordingly for my part of the world.  I don't think I got Luna's swatch down pat.  However, this is my take!!

"There are approximately 12,000 species of moss classified in the Bryophyta.  The divison Bryophyta formerly included not only mosses, but also liverworts and hornworts." (Wikipedia)  Wow...thank goodness Luna didn't pick one of those for a colour name!  I'd really be in trouble!

Autumn has made it!

Dear Diary:

I really love the fall time.  At this time of year, I wake up in the morning and it's cool.  The sun hits the horizon and I often get frost on the windshield of my car.  But by the afternoon, the sun is out and the air is warm.  The leaves ate starting to turn different colours and it makes everything really bright and cheerful. 

I often go for a walk on the nice days just to see the leaves fall from the trees and to hear them crunching under my feet.

I know soon all this colour will be replaced by plain white so I'm enjoying these wonderful days.

Good Night for now.

The "No Smoking" Sign is up

Dear Diary:

When I was young, I thought that being a stewardess would be an awesome job.  You can fly anywhere in the world; have a job that's essentially different every day; and don't spend a lot of money on clothes since you have a uniform.  That's why when ABC network announced the new series, "Pan Am", my interest peaked.  The story line follows stewardesses in the 1960's, paying great detail to getting the society of the period perfectly correct.  However, the one thing they will not show is the actors with lit cigarettes in their hands.

Over the past few years, cigarette smoking has become taboo on major networks as it's perceived as being "impressionable" to some viewers.  I'll still be looking forward to seeing how the series comes out.

How I got my Education on a Budget

Dear Diary:

I guess I'm still on school thoughts since my last post.

One year, I asked my Dad to buy me a car.  He laughed and said, "If you need a car that badly, then start saving for one."  That got me on track.  I decided I would do a few simple things:

• I would divide the things I needed vs the things I wanted ....ugggghhh....that was hard to do.  Tim Horton's coffee vs the grocery store variety; Ben and Jerry's ice cream vs Breyer's; and...sniff...a car vs the bus.

• I kept a notebook of what I spent so I could be aware of where the money went.  That made me aware of what I had to cut down on.  Fortunately, a bus pass wasn't that expensive.

The car?  Ah yes.  I still couldn't afford it when I graduated but since I looked after my income so well, it wasn't long after that I could go out and buy a beautiful second fourth hand VW.

Thinking about the summer

Dear Diary:

Ahhh...it is September 1st so I hauled out my thinking chair to go over the past few months of summer.  I know, I know, I know.  There are still many days of warm weather left but let's face it - the really hot days have already passed us by.

I had a wonderful summer.  I ride a bike (as in motorcycle) so when I managed to get some vacation, I went off into the country whenever I could.  There's something about getting away from the concrete and construction and going to fresh greeness and bright flowers.  I love "touching base with my roots" as they say.

I must admit, I like getting back to the fall - cool nights, warm days, routine.  There's something comfortable about that.  But my summer - yes, my summer - I do become a different person.

Good Night for now.

Precious Ruby

Dear Diary:

Rubies can be found in all shades of red, from dark red to blood red, or some have a pinkish hue.  Rubies are very strong and hardy.  They are extremely resilient.  However almost all rubies have flaws.  Those without imperfections are exceptionally rare.  Often rubies are associated with passion, for life and for love.   Oh my!!  I think I'm describing us, aren't I??  We are all RUBIES!

Mathilde Vhargon, Digital Artist

Dear Diary:

Last September, I was lucky enough to be invited to an incredible art display by Mathilde Vhargon and this year, I was honoured to be invited again to her newest exhibit.

Being rather new to the art scene has not intimidated Mathilde at all.  Her exhibit is a bold expression of her talent.  When you walk in the door at Gallery Four, you are immediately surrounded by bright happy colours, ethereal and mystical illustrations.

The colours in most paintings are vibrant but are not overpowering. 

While some are abstract in nature, there are two paintings that depict landscapes.

There are none of her sculptures or photographs in this exhibition but it's obvious her designs have taken a lot of time and care to produce.  Each painting demonstrates her eye for detail.

I suggest you visit Gallery Four between now and May 15th to see Mathilde's exhibit.  You can also see more of her work at Two Shores Gallery.  It's an exciting show and it amazes me of all the talent we have in this world.

Good Night for now.

Getting through the Winter

Dear Diary:

Winter can seem very long and drawn-out.  When the snow first flies, it's pretty and I really enjoy it but by February my patience with the white stuff has gone.  By then, I'm through my thrill of shovelling and I've lost the excitement of watching the snow swirl around outside.  To pass the time, I try to do as many winter sports as I can.  My fav is down-hill skiing.

I found this great place to go skiing.  I took the lift up to the lodge and started out from there.  It's very picturesque with a slalom run to try.  However, I decided to try another run.

"Hmmm...I wonder if I can do this," I think [looking at the sign with trepidation]

Another activity that I love to do is snow shoeing.

When the weather is a little milder, I like to put on my snow shoes to forge through the forest area with deep snow.  This is REALLY getting back to nature!

When the trek is over, it's nice to sit by an open fire, getting all toasty and warm.

Outside activities really help to fill in those long winter days.

Good Night for now.

Thinking about friendship

Dear Diary:

A few weeks back I lost a friend.  And when I say lost, I mean lost - forever.  She did not disappear.  She did not evolve into a new identity.  She died.  When I received the notecard telling me of her passing, I felt cold.  I felt shock.  I felt numb.  I sat with my fingers on the keyboard with thoughts racing through my brain.  What exactly was I feeling?

I never knew her true name.  But when seeing her name pop up on my friends' list, I knew her.  I knew little of her background and yet I knew the life she shared with her partner on a beautiful island in a rambling house.  I never heard her voice but I could sense the laughter and friendliness when we were together.  So what did I know?

I knew her profession, one of caring and consideration, that definitely passed on to our other world.  She always asked how I was, and what was new in my life.  She was a great listener and was willing to take the time to hear my rantings and ravings and always had a positive spin on the situation that made me look at things in a different way.

I knew the state she lived in and although we didn't share the same country, views on politics or thoughts on international affairs, we did share much the same weather!  And we both could commiserate about that!

I knew she had children.  They were grown-up but she was very proud of them and often mentioned about the accomplishments of each.

I knew she was very ill.

Yes, I didn't know a lot about her, but I considered her my friend...a good friend.  I will miss seeing her name in bold, miss the conversations and miss her friendship.

How can you doubt the reality of this world?

It's a Red Heart Day

Dear Diary:

My Grandmother had a Billie Holiday record that she often played and I thought of it when I was doing this picture.

"A smile on my face
A song on my lips
Pretending is all I do
I'm painting the town red
To hide a heart that's blue

I stay with the crowd
I play with the crowd
But oh, if they only knew
I'm painting the town red
To hide a heart that's blue

Must I go on carrin' on?
My merry song is just pretend
Loving you so, wanting you so
Where will it end, how will it end?

A smile on my face
A song on my lips
But never forgetting you
I'm painting the town red
To hide a heart that's blue"
  (I'm Painting the Town Red by Billie Holiday)
 
Maybe that's an appropriate song for Valentine's Day too.  Who knows?

I'm not into fur....but....

Dear Diary:

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.

It's a BLUE Monday!

Dear Diary:

I like to read what others have to say about fashion and furniture, so when I heard the idea of talking about "colour" weeks suggested by Luna Jubilee, I thought, "What a great idea!  A fresh approach to the week!"  This is the second week but I'm getting in on the BLUE challenge.

Blue is not my favourite colour but when I looked in my closet I found a lot of items that I wear quite a bit...and guess what?....they're BLUE!

I decided to start with a casual look, since that's me most of the time and in this picture, I'm wearing lots of blue things but 3 of them are my all-time favs.

First it's my jeans.  I love jeans and have many pairs in my closet as I'm sure most chicks do but these jeans I wear 90% of the time.  They're denim but not the phony denim texture; they look well-worn without looking grungy; and the stitching on the cuff and side looks real.  I totally love these jeans.  Unfortunately you can't buy them any more so I'm looking after these with great care.

Then it's got to be my boots.  These boots are staples in my closet....when in doubt I put them on with everything.  I like the size of the heel - not too high but tapered nicely.  The top has a scrunchy look that looks good with leggings too.  The navy is a good colour because it's not too dark. 

Of course, the jacket is a great looking one.  I got this a couple of years ago as a gift but it's so versatile that I wear it a lot.  I love the stud detail on the shoulder.  It gives it a military look.  The collar and sleeve cuffs have a satiny sheen which adds a bit of pizazz to the appearance.  The jacket has a slight swing back and there's a hood attachment too. This is a really well made jacket.

Of course the icing that brings this all together, is the cute top, the cool sunglasses and the blue headband holding back the myriad of curls.  All of these compliment the look.

Yeah...the blue is working for me today.  I think I'll show my favourite blue dress later this week.

Good Night for now.

One Jacket....Two Looks

Dear Diary:

Last weekend I flew to Chicago.  Of course, going through the airport can be a pain in the butt so I just wanted to take carry-on luggage.  That meant...hmmm...make-up, hair stuff, shoes...and oh yeah...room for a few clothes.  I knew we'd be going out so I wanted to take a jacket that could serve many purposes.  My houndstooth jacket fit the description perfectly.

My friend Chloe just got a new apartment with a great view of the Chicago skyline so when she picked me up from the airport, we went directly to her apartment.  It was AWESOME!!  And I still looked put together from the long flight.

I didn't even change or unpack.  We went straight to the stores to shop for some new furniture for her...and a little trinket or two for ME!

That night we went to a great supper club and then dancing after.  My houndstooth jacket covered both casual and dressy occasions quite well. It was warm and cozy and fit right in with all the up-to-date fashions.  It felt good to know that I could mix it with the Chicago crowd.

It was a great weekend so I'm planning on going back soon.

Good Night for now.
