Help Yourself To Some TP

 OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER

And when I thought the cold days were over, Steppenwolf hits me with some bad news.

By the way, the song below is a song Steppenwolf sent me yesterday.

Enjoy!

Help Yourself

- Tom Jones -

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): its gonna get wicked cold again baby this weekend

Lori Novo: for me?

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): yeah

Lori Novo: oh no

Lori Novo: omg :(

Lori Novo: how cold baby?

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): well not so bad  down to low 40s

Lori Novo: :(

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): on sat-sun night

Lori Novo: omg baby I better buy lots of toilet paper :(((

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): why?

Lori Novo: cause baby, that's what everyone does :((

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): lol

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): that's hilarious

Lori Novo: lol

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): you gonna wrapp yourself in toilet paper to stay warm?

Lori Novo: lol :P

I don't know how it is in your hometown, but here, where I live in South Texas, people clear toilet paper

shelves in the stores every time bad weather is expected. I really don't understand why. :O

Feeding The Grinch

OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER

Better today than never, isn't that how it goes?

It is no secret that Christmas is my least favorite holiday of the year. I know, I know,

I become the Grinch during this time, and it's been like this for some years now.

I avoid shopping and going out where I know there will be big crowds of people happily celebrating the season.

Christmas brings me so much sadness since my mother's passing, which turns into anger, and

so I try to avoid anything Christmas-related because a simple Christmas carol will make me burst into tears and bring forth deep depression. I have learn to survive this holiday by ignoring it and going

on through the month as if it's just another holiday-free month.

And just like in my real life, in my Second Life, I don't really care to decorate for the holiday.

That's been Steppenwolf's job for years now. He is the one who puts out a Christmas tree and other

decorations. However, this year, he was running late with the holiday decor...

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

- Ellency ~ A Dark Vibe -

[He puts out a Christmas tree]

Lori Novo: thank you

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): muazzz

Lori Novo: muahhhhhh

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): te amo baby

Lori Novo: muahhhhhhhh baby

And what better way to calm a hungry Grinch than with a delicious breakfast made with love. ;)

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): switched to sunrise baby

Lori Novo: ;)

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): we hung out all night!

Lori Novo: that's good ;)

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): what you want for breakfast?

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): ill cook

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): anything you want

Lori Novo: mmm, pancakes topped with fresh fruit

Lori Novo: bacon

Rock Me Baby

 OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): rock me baby

When the world disappears around us.

And all that is left is the music.

The world stops, and anything else becomes secondary.

Nothing beats the chance to dance to a good song...

Rock Me (Oregon 1971)

- Big Mama Thornton -

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): rock me baby

Lori Novo: ;)))

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): like a wagon wheel

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): muazzz

Lori Novo: MUAHHHHHH

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): better than tai chi

Lori Novo: mhm

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): the guitar drives me crazy

Lori Novo: and the harmonica is insane, love it!

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): omg yea...

When he stopped Tai-Chiing and came over to me to dance,

that was a beautiful moment.

Remember, it is always good to stop and smell the flowers, or in this case, dance to a good, damn sexy song. ;)

These are the moments that we will keep in our hearts.

Sometimes it is good to stop what we are doing and do the unexpected, break the rules, be spontaneous,

and add some spice to a routine moment. Make it fun, go crazy, and don't mind if anyone else is

watching. Just "Rock me baby, any way you feel..."

Have a good night everyone.

Blues Night Baby!

 OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER

Can you find real love in Second Life?

YES, you can!

After over 12 beautiful years together, our love remains strong and continues to grow.

He keeps raising the bar to improve what he has already done so beautifully and lovingly for me

and finds new ways to make me fall in love with him all over again each day.

The love we share grew so big that at one point it could no longer be contained in the walls of a virtual world, 

and that's when it began to leak into the real world, where it continues to grow with no end.

I'm Your Santa

Real love found me in the most unexpected moment when I wasn't looking.

And this is the kind of love I wish for everyone.

This is the kind of love we all deserve.

Happy New Year!

Good morning beautiful world and a happy new year to everyone!

I am ready, eager, and excited to continue my beautiful Second Life journey and share it with you.

I am not making any promises for now but one thing that I am sure of is that I missed blogging

for you my beautiful people. I missed venturing out and exploring with Sunny beautiful locations.

How about featuring all those wonderful people I am honored to meet when I go out?

Or sharing with you my moments with my Steppenwolf? I missed it all!

As you all know, while I stayed away for a while from my blog I started a backdrop textures

business to keep me busy. The idea was originally intended to be something small in the

Marketplace, just for fun you know, but now I find myself with an in-world shop, which I just opened

today, and a group of wonderful bloggers that I feel very honored to have.

So to celebrate the new year and the grand opening of my in-world shop 

I have prepared a few things for you. ;)

First, I put together a small hunt with 10 beautiful backdrop textures to collect for free.

You are looking for the beautiful butterfly below, which I chose to honor my mother's

memory. My mother loved butterflies and her favorite color was purple, which is something

that she told me in a dream after she had passed away.

The hunt will run from January 1st to January 15th.

After that, all the packs will be sold at the regular price like all the others. You can find the hints to their

locations here. But then again, they are not that hard to find and you can also cheat... let me tell you

how. First you... never mind, where's the fun in that! :P

Next, I have placed 3 Lucky Letter Boards with the letters changing every 15 minutes.

And finally, I placed 2 new free gifts on the counter together with the Christmas one which

everyone loved, YAY!

TAXI TO THE SHOP

So there you have it, the grand opening of my in-world shop and my return to blogging again,

2025 will be a great year, I just know it. I really love my life.

Over & Out!

 OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER

Hello Beautiful Second Life!

I've been under the weather and not feeling well for some time now, so I haven't been blogging as I was

so excited to do at the beginning of the month. In the meantime, as you can see, I have been relaxing,

not worrying too much, and just enjoying my husband's company. That is the reason why I've been only posting our moments together for now. Hopefully, soon I'll be up and running around with the help of

my doctor, keeping my fingers crossed. ;)

Today, Steppenwolf surprised me with five horror films he got for us to watch. I know how much

my husband hates these types of movies but he is willing to sacrifice himself in the name of love,

that means the world to me. Thank you baby!

Tonight we made it a movie night and we watched The Conjuring.

The Conjuring - Official Main Trailer [HD]

"Before there was Amityville, there was Harrisville. Based on a true story, "The Conjuring" tells the

horrifying tale of how world renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called

upon to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse. Forced to confront a

powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives."

Lori Novo: hold me baby, I am scared :(((

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): me too :(
Lori Novo: :(((
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): pulls the blanket over my head :(
Lori Novo: pulls it off your head and pulls it over mine :(
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): haha

We sometimes have small, loving disagreements over the movies we watch.

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): nonsense
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): RI didn't have witches lol

Lori Novo: omg my babyyy, it's just a movie, not a documentary! :P

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): lol

Just relax my love and enjoy the movie!

Here's the true story of The Conjuring.

Supermarket Flowers

~ Ed Sheeran ~

Lori Novo: baby today I cried and cried

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): why baby??

Lori Novo: my son had already left to work at 5

Lori Novo: and around 6 I began to feel hungry

Lori Novo: so went to the kitchen to fix me something to eat

Lori Novo: the house was all dark except for my bedroom

Lori Novo: so when I turned on the kitchen light

Lori Novo: my eyes for some reason went right away to the chair my mom would always sit on

Lori Novo: that was her favorite spot

Lori Novo: and then I started remembering when my house was so full of loved ones

Lori Novo: my mom

Lori Novo: my daughter

Lori Novo: my brothers and even my sister at one time

Lori Novo: everyone baby everyone

Lori Novo: when all the rooms had lights on and there was no darkness

Lori Novo: sounds coming from every direction, laughs, television, music, conversations

Lori Novo: the house was so alive baby

Lori Novo: a beautiful happy home 

Lori Novo: with so many loved ones there baby

Lori Novo: and I closed my eyes

Lori Novo: I just wanted to feel that way again baby

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): awww

Lori Novo: when my house was happy

Lori Novo: and then it hit me

Lori Novo: everyone is gone

Lori Novo: just my son and I remain here

Lori Novo: now the house is so empty

Lori Novo: so dark

Lori Novo: cold

Lori Novo: and lonely baby

Lori Novo: I missed my mom :(((

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): im sorry baby

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): muazzz

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): i feel that way sometimes here

Lori Novo: :(((

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): cause my place in Maine had my Mom and Dad and all my

brothers here in summertime

Lori Novo: aww baby :(

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): now its just me and my brother and his wife sometimes

Lori Novo: :((

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): yeah thats life baby

Lori Novo: baby it doesn't matter how old we get

Lori Novo: we're always gonna miss our mothers

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): for sure

Lori Novo: well, for you it's your father too

Lori Novo: I never had one

Lori Novo: so idk how it is to miss a father

Lori Novo: but my mom baby :(((

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): but i say the dead arent absent, they are just invisible

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): you have to convince yourself they are there

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): your mother watches over you

 Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): she wants you to be strong

Lori Novo: sometimes it's so hard to be strong baby

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): i know thats why its called strong

Lori Novo: I need her baby

AI Picture Made in KREA by Lori Novo

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): well heres a story

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): the other day i heard a loud crying in the tall pines here

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): a high crying  surely only a raptor could make that sound

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): and it was constant and very urgent and complaining almost

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): so i went outside looking to see what was going on

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): it was coming from the pine tree over my dock on the lake

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): so i went there and saw a huge bald eagle perched on a dead branch

about 30 feet in the air

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): but it just swiveled its head and stared at me down below

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): it was making no sound

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): but the screeching was up higher and i had to go around the pine

a bit to see thru the branches

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): it was another eagle that was big and crying at the bald eagle constantly

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): so for a minute i thought it was an argument about territory

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): cause that tree looks out over the lake and its easy for the eagle in

charge to see fish and get a dinner

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): but the bald eagle never moved and the other eagle didn't attack

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): so then i realized

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): the bald eagle was the mother! and the big eagle without the white

feathers was her baby all grown up

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): the immature eagle won't have white feathers for 4 more years

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): but she wanted the mother eagle to feed her

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): but the mother refused, the offspring had to hunt for herself

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): she cried and cried  but the mother did not even shake a wing

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): later after 15 mins the offspring took flight it was huge omg

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): but it flew across the lake back to an area i know is eagle

hunting grounds

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): and the mother stayed in the tree for another 3 hours

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): then she left

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): i thought she was hurt or something but  she wasnt

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): mothers and their children have the closest ties but they still have

 to  change with time

Lori Novo: oh wow baby

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): yes?

Lori Novo: it must have been so beautiful to see the young eagle fly across the lake

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): yes! omg its wings were so broad musta been 10 feet across. that bird had everything necessary to feed itself

Lori Novo: awww

Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): muazzz
