Yo Te Esperaba (I Was Waiting For You)

And she said something so hurtful like she tends to do a lot of times. But I remained silent and

showed no emotion though I felt my heart breaking. She continued talking as I stood up holding

back the tears and started walking away slowly.  Once I was far away from her I began to cry. Why do I

feel she hates me so much sometimes when we should be loving each other with all our hearts?

I kept asking myself. A few minutes passed before I returned but not before I dried my tears and tried

to smile again. It wasn't easy, my heart was literally hurting by her words and I still had many tears that

wanted to come out. But I had to be strong, calm, and understanding. For someone to carry so much

anger in their heart, they must also carry so much pain and sadness. I only wished that she could open

her heart to me so I could try to help her...

maybe someday she will and I'll be here waiting for her with open arms.

Sometimes those we love the most will hurt us the most. ♥

So does anyone recognize my location?

If you are a weekly, weekend sales shopper I am sure you know where I took these pictures.

I'll give you the answer at the end of this post. Just know that it is one of my favorite stores

I visit every weekend because of the beautiful tattoos I can get at very low prices, especially

tribal face ones which I like very much.

The decor is absolutely beautiful all around that it will make you forget for a moment that you are in a store.

I did make a list of my favorite decor pieces that were used to decorate the store.

I was lucky to have more than half of them, the other go into my wishlist. ;)

Somebunny Loves You

MONDAY MORNING

“How would your life be different if…

You stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people you encounter?

Let today be the day…

You look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey.”

― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

Walking On Sunshine

- Katrina And The Waves - 

HELLOOOOO BEAUTIFUL MONDAY!

Let's begin the week with a great quote and a happy song. 

"Now I'm walking on sunshine

I'm walking on sunshine

I'm walking on sunshine

And it's starting to feel good, hey

All right now

And it's starting to feel good..."

Are we dancing or what?! :P

Shake those bones!

"I feel alive, I feel a love

I feel a love that's really real

I feel alive, I feel a love

I feel a love that's really real

I'm on sunshine, baby

I'm on sunshine, baby..."

The sun is shining even though it is a bit coldish and I can hear the birds singing outside.

What a beautiful way to start the new week and happy and eager to see what this new week 

has in store for me. OMG I can't wait!

The other day I noticed one of my daughter's latest posts on her social media where she had posted

her picture where she is smiling so beautifully and she had written four little words underneath the photo that said...

"I love my life!"

As a mother, you can just imagine my joy in reading those words. Her words were so powerful to me

that I haven't been able to stop smiling since that day.

LIVE SMILE LOVE

(¬‿¬)

ah, and let live, just like today's quote says that we must respect other people's journey

without judgment. Just feel the love for life and everything else will fall into its perfect place,

including the acceptance for others, and understanding that we are all different

and that is what makes all super special in this world.

But who's this somebunny that loves you?

Umm, let's see...

Maybe the neighbor, or, the mailman, or... ME?

Choose one. :P

Well, this somebunny loves bunnies too. These are our two bunnies Peanut and Coco who like to sunbathe in our front yard. They are really not our only pets, we do have many others that roam

around our land. I love animals and through my whole life (real) I have had as pets

a chicken, a squirrel, a white rat, two spiders, fish, three dogs, birds, a small rooster, a lizard,

and a lot of cats. Cats are definitely my favorite animal. ♥

Time to go for now and stretch my legs, maybe go to the park for a walk and greet every single person

I run into them and wish them a beautiful day. Til next time keep smiling.

Much love,

Lori Novo

I'm Gonna Fight 'em Off

"I'm gonna fight 'em off

A seven-nation army couldn't hold me back

They're gonna rip it off

Takin' their time right behind my back

And I'm talkin' to myself at night

Because I can't forget

Back and forth through my mind

Behind a cigarette

And the message comin' from my eyes

Says, "Leave it alone"..."

Hello World!

How is it going so far for you? Only three days into the new year and I am already getting a pretty good

vibe of what is ahead, now, I don't want to jinx it so knock on wood. ;)

I started the day listening to a great Spanish song that my daughter shared with me and it just

lifted my mood to the roof. We danced and laughed so much in the kitchen while I made breakfast

listening to the lyrics, lot of cussing though but I loved it. I'll share it with you later today or tomorrow.

Now, would you believe that I had never tried Chipotle before?

Let it be known that Chipotle and I made history on January 3rd, 2024.

We finally met and spent time together, and now I am in love with their delicious Chipotle Bowls.

But what am I saying, what is all this nonsense that I'm sharing with you?

Well, because my blog keeps becoming more and more like a diary, especially my special moments

with my Steppenwolf...

"Hi baby thinking of you. hope you are having a sweet day! love you your step muazzz!"

That is a text from him today that he sent me right at the same moment I was thinking about him too. ;)

We really have a very strong connection and we can feel each other even when we are apart.

Now, see what I mean when I said the year is starting to look good, just today, I already had

three things that made me smile. ;)

This is all for now my beautiful people.

Wishing you a beautiful rest of the day.

Keep counting all your blessings every day and try not to focus too much on the negatives.

Live your best life ever, every moment, every day!

Much Love,

Lori Novo

"Don't wanna hear about it

Every single one's got a story to tell

Everyone knows about it

From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell

And if I catch it comin' back my way

I'm gonna serve it to you

And that ain't what you want to hear

But that's what I'll do

And the feelin' comin' from my bones

Says, "Find a home"

I'm goin' to Wichita

Far from this opera forevermore

I'm gonna work the straw

Make the sweat drip out of every pore

And I'm bleedin', and I'm bleedin', and I'm bleedin'

Right before the Lord

All the words are gonna bleed from me

And I will think no more

And the stains comin' from my blood

Tell me, "Go back home""

Hello 2024!

Any new year resolutions?

None for me thank you!

Lost Cause

- Billie Eilish -

Last night, as the countdown to the new year began, I was standing outside,

looking up at the sky at my mom and embracing my children, when suddenly

the whole sky lit up with colorful fireworks all around us, it was truly a beautiful

way to welcome the new year, 2024. I couldn't hold back the tears, I felt so thankful for my children,

and for the father of my children, my Pollito kitty, and for my Steppenwolf, the love of my life.

Now, while many sad and bad things happened in 2023, I choose to focus instead on all 

the beautiful blessings I received. And I carry on those blessings into the new year to start it 

on a positive note.

But how about those New Year's resolutions?

Well, for me just like promises, New Year's resolutions can also be very easily broken, that is why

I no longer bother. Instead, I just live one day at a time, making the best of each day as if it were my

last, that seems to work best for me. One thing is for sure though, with every new year, new hope for

a better new year is highly present, what beautiful things the new year will bring.

Receive the new year knowing that it will be better than 2023. Put it out there into the world...

THIS WILL BE THE BEST YEAR EVER!

Set your words free and watch them become a reality.

Thanks For Reading!

Much love,

Lori Novo

Midnight Party

 PERSONAL UPDATE

Shhh, is it morning or night?

It is 12:16 a.m., I guess that makes it morning.

GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL WORLD!

All my neighbors are already asleep and dreaming away

while I am really just waking up.

The streets are so quiet.... shhh...

This is when I feel more awake... more alive.

Does this make me a night owl... a creature of the night?

Doesn't matter which, I don't mind either.

Let the party begin with this great music video,

ENJOY!

Song Shared By My Son

When The Levee Breaks feat. John Paul Jones

Playing For Change | Song Around The World

Light On The Flower

SLOOPSIE

"Cause I like to love, to love, to love, to love you

I hate to hate, to hate, to hate, to hate you

Put the Beatles on, light the candles, go back to bed

'Cause I want, I want, I want, I want you

I need to, need to, need to need you..."

-lyrics

Let The Light In

- Lana Del Rey -

Hello Beautiful World!

I would like to thank my daughter for sharing this beautiful song with us.

from her ninth studio album and eighth major-label studio album 

Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.]

-source

Date Released: March 24, 2023

Next, I would like to thank my good friend Vivi for this beautiful outfit I am wearing

that she sent to me earlier today. She said that when she saw it she knew I would like it and she was

right, I LOVE it, Gracias!

This is

**LILI NHARTREI WHITE RISQUE STYLE COMPLET OUTFIT**

As soon as I tried on my gift from Vivi, I knew exactly where I wanted to go for a photoshoot

The Outer Garden

(Moderate)

With all the beautiful flowers there, it was the perfect photo location.

And speaking about beautiful flowers, it reminded me of a SLoopsie I had a very long time ago.

By the way, a SLOOPSIE blog post is about an oopsie either I or someone else made/had in Second

Life. This one is on me, about my very first year in Second Life...

It was the year 2011, my first year in Second Life. A time when I was very innocent, clueless, or

naive, whichever you prefer to call it. A year when I begin to learn lessons in Second Life the hard way.

So my story begins...

I had a very good friend at the time, his name was Geo, he was Italian and he had a beautiful sim

that he had named Little Italy. Now, Geo most of the time was a beautiful horse that people could

actually ride. One day he invited me to go for a ride in his beautiful sim, which I gladly accepted.

While I was riding Geo :P, I know what you're thinking :P 

Anyways, while I was riding the horse Geo, up-hill and down-hills, through the woods and on the

beach sand, I noticed that he often would stop and would begin to type something but he would

never send me anything. Finally, he stopped and said to me...

"I'm sorry dear but I need to tell you that  I can see your little flower."

I was like "Huh?" I was clueless as to what he was talking about.

Then he said, "Your beautiful pussy sweet Lori, I'm sorry but it shows when you ride me."

As soon as he said that I jumped off him faster than a shooting bullet and ran away in tears to hide.

I was so embarrassed with my friend. I didn't know what to do.

He kept IMing me, pleading with me to return, but I wouldn't answer, I had my head hidden

under a rock, but I am sure my pussy was still showing since I was bending down. :P

He kept assuring me that everything was ok and to go back so we could continue our ride

"Just put on some panties first sweet Lori."

But I was just too embarrassed to even reply to him... for days.

Thanks For Reading!

Much love,

Lori Novo

By the way, I am not sure if we'll get to see today the colorful people that I had planned to blog about.

I've been feeling a bit under the weather, but we'll see. If not, tomorrow for sure.

What Died Didn't Stay Dead

EVENT COVER

Hello Beautiful World!

This is Vivi, one of my two best friends.

Here we are at my home resting after an exciting girl's day out shopping.

"Just remember, if we get caught, you're deaf and I don't speak any English."

Vivi and I could easily be called sisters because of how close we are.

But I've been there and done that in the past and to be honest with you, the SL sisters and brothers thing

just doesn't work for me. I am not going down that path again and Vivi feels the same way I do.

We are great best friends, and we are keeping it that way!

She is very special to me together with my Steppenwolf.

Lori Novo: omg you are so curvy

Lori Novo: when I grow up i want to grow up to be curvy just like you 'cept for the huge boobs :P

Vivi: :P

Lori Novo: lol

Marjorie

- Taylor Swift -

This beautiful song by Taylor Swift was shared with me this morning by my daughter 

who warned me not to cry when I listened to it. I still cried.

The lyrics are sad and reminded me of my mother who passed away six years ago.

"Never be so kind, you forget to be clever

Never be so clever, you forget to be kind

And if I didn't know better

I'd think you were talking to me now

If I didn't know better

I'd think you were still around

What died didn't stay dead

What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, you're alive in my head

What died didn't stay dead

What died didn't stay dead

You're alive, so alive..."

-Lyrics

So this is for you, my beautiful mother.

♥

So earlier today, Vivi and I got together to go to the HAIR FAIR 2023 (General),

which will be running from June 17th - July 2nd with 6 regions of hair, hair accessories, and

poses/props and donating a percentage of every sale to Wigs For Kids,

truly a very noble cause. This is the main reason this is my favorite event in Second Life.

The other reason is that hair has been my #1 weakness since day one.

Some designers have also included free gifts for us and even better, some are donating up to 50%

and even 100% of their sales to this organization. Bravo to them!

Vivi and I had so much fun being silly and trying hair just to see who would wear it better.

Of course, she won every time. What can I say, she is absolutely beautiful. A real stunner that even if

she wore a mop on her head she would still be looking good. OMG, I hate her so much!! <3

In the picture below we are wearing a 1L hair by Loveholic which includes the hair, hair wisps,

bloody ears, bloody horns, and a halo. This 1L price is only for the duration of the event.

Wigs For Kids is a wonderful organization for children and young adults dealing with hair loss.

It provides recipients at no cost, hair pieces made from donated hair. In the past, I was fortunate enough 

to donate my hair on several occasions. It fills you with such great joy knowing

that your hair will be putting a smile on a child's face. ;)

HERE: What Is "Wigs For Kids"?

HERE: Wigs For Kids - Ready To Donate Your Hair

HERE: Wigs For Kids - Monetary Donations

This is all for now my beautiful people.

Hope to see you all at the Hair Fair this year, contributing to this beautiful cause

and making a difference in a child's life.

Much love,

Lori Novo
