CMH Unleashed Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to check out the CMH Unleashed Hunt, a new one from Cheeky Monkey Hunts that brings designers' choice so expect the unexpected ;) Depending on the store, we can find $1L hunt prizes or $25L - $50L exclusive offers, all by tracking down the comic style Pow, Bang, or Boom signs. There are hints on the hunt website as well as our landmarks, prices, and preview images of the treats you can claim this month. These designers always bring us their best, and never fail to impress me with their cleverness with themes each month. Since they get to choose this time, we can learn a bit more about their tastes while visiting their stores :)

We start out with the hilarious $1L GoodVibes Her MAY-Hem prize, which is one of two since there's a version for the gents as well. This tee dress is great as either a short dress or long tunic top if you layer your favorite pants, leggings, or shorts beneath :) It says "MayHem! has Arrived!" above and below a superhero monkey, in a playful nod to our hunt organizers. There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, Waifu, and Star mesh bodies included. My life seems to involve loads of low-level mayhem, lol, so I'd love this in RL too :)

If knit fabrics make you think of chilly weather, I would bet that our ~Sassy!~ Faye top and skirt $25L exclusive might make you rethink that! Its high neck, bare shouldered crop top does have some zigzag stripes that might be crocheted, and really an open weave would be cooling for these steamy days and nights. Both top and micro mini skirt are provided in Kupra, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. The skirt's color really brings out the deepest shade of our top, don't you think?

The skirt is helping me show off some more treats, this time after a spin through The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co.'s store :) On the left you can see our DREAMER Tee dollarbie, with a beautiful dreamcatcher that seems to have captured the word of the shirt's name. This dreamer absolutely approves this message ♥. Another message that got me feeling powerful is the FIGHT LIKE A GIRL Tee, our 25L exclusive from this brand. I've seen this slogan associated with breast cancer research, but I also think of it as not accepting when the world tries to tell women that we are less than. Your gender does not determine your worth, and I value everyone of any gender. 

I have long since come to appreciate The Bold Llama T-Shirt Co. for their awesome sense of humor, and I have to confess that I laughed so hard I'm surprised I didn't wake up neighbors when I read the HIGH ROAD Tee. It's our $50L exclusive, and that image says "Why take the High Road when you can take the Psycho Path" . Our gal pal in the middle there is sipping her wine, possibly debating which direction to go if someone provokes her to fight like a girl ;) As with all of these cozy tank tops, it is provided as an unpacker HUD so you can select the sizes you need - standard, eBody Curvy, eBody Reborn, Waifu, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Hourglass, Physique, or TMP - then hang onto that HUD for future use if you like. This way you don't have dozens of copies of the shirt loose in your inventory :) 

My final look of the evening is a charming choice for exploring nature on a warm sunny day. The :.C!L.: Willow Yellow Boho Dress & Hat is their $1L hunt prize, starting with the lovely maxidress with white flowers on a buttery pale yellow background. It will fit Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. Then we can add the straw hat which is unrigged and can be adjusted as needed :) When my dad first got his convertible in the early 90s (midlife crisis?) my mom tried to wear a similar hat to keep her hair from blowing all around in the wind, but it wound up flying off her head into the backseat a few times. That was enough to teach her a lesson to just pull her hair back in a ponytail :) I think she still has the hat, or at least one much like it, to shield her face from the sun when they go on walks. Such a timeless addition to any outfit!

Wow, I suddenly thought it was Monday, then thought no Tuesday...I promise I haven't been boozing it up, lol, just extra dense brain fog tonight I guess ;) I did have my usual Thursday evening fun with friends gaming together, and I am eager to visit my parents tomorrow for dinner as well. Those are good reasons to keep track of the day of the week. I've been suffering through this 2nd round of the playoffs for my hockey team, just playing like hot garbage, and I felt terrible for the hometown crowd who paid good money to watch them lose game 3 in person. It would be easy to blame injuries or bad calls (both of which are legit factors) but we are just not strong enough yet for this opponent. Oh well, I hope you're all having a blissful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FaMESHed Part Two

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we've got more gifts from the FaMESHed event's 14th anniversary round to enjoy. They have a separate area for the gifts, so you will need to join the group by copy/pasting secondlife:///app/group/8ae32885-b174-3f8e-4a70-5df905f8f93a/about into your local chat and then you are able to teleport into the group area :) There is plenty of shopping to appreciate too of course, and I am always eager to see what's new. I've known many RL businesses that didn't last for 14 years, and time seems to work differently in SL so it's a huge accomplishment that I am pleased to help them honor by sharing this information.

We start with the playful GIZ SEORN "Miera" Set [Print 1] gift. Its strapless top and low slung pants are each provided in Lara X, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh body sizes. There's also a HUD for the ornaments on the top (bow and fringe) that lets us choose from 12 different colors. Isn't that striped pattern a fun one? 

Our next outfit looks like lingerie, and you'll be surprised to hear that it's all one piece! The MIDNA - Coraline Outfit - LIGHT BLUE gift comes in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies, with a HUD that offers 14 choices each for the borders and hearts, plus the ability to hide or unhide the panties. The rainbow texture somewhere in the middle of the bar of color buttons is the one that caught my eye for the left above :) 

Our littlefox - Eliana dress / minty gift is ready to cling to every curve and show off our shape to perfection :) There are Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes included, as well as a HUD for the built in panties with 40 colors and a show/hide option. The dress color is dreamy, and I love the cutouts that bare our shoulders above the extended long sleeves.

It was time for a frosty cold drink, so I added the WetCat :: Soda Cup for AO [Bento] treat to this outfit :) The cup is bright red with DeerCat on it in white, and has a menu on touch with a still pose hold, animation for drinking, or you can stop the animations entirely. 

My final look of the night is our [VARSITY] "Lia" bodysuit (Pack-04) group gift. The suit has a pretty collar and full sleeves, built in black belt, and classic cut leg openings that add up to an elegant and sexy look. We receive sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Nhumana, and Reborn mesh bodies, as well as an 8 color HUD whose palette reminds me of either blush, highlighter, or lipsticks. That does mean that the colors are flattering to a wide range of skin tones, and just generally quite pretty :) 

It was a really busy day yesterday, and I enjoyed the places I went even though the drive to each was stressful. They were close together, so it was convenient if not the easiest on the old anxiety ;) It rained off and on all day, and just started again now, so you'd think the temperature would start dropping but it was 78 in this room a little while ago. 73 now, whew! There is always something to enjoy in SL, so I am taking refuge there with Xan to help me relax. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

FaMESHed Anniversary

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm delighted that the FaMESHed event is celebrating their 14th anniversary, and naturally that means I get to share some fantastic group gifts :) In order to reach the group gift area, you'll need to join their free group by copy/pasting this link secondlife:///app/group/8ae32885-b174-3f8e-4a70-5df905f8f93a/about in local chat and clicking it. Then you can hop over to the gift area and claim lots of generous treats :) Not all of the gift boxes are filled, so don't worry about any that don't do anything when you click them. This event focuses on original mesh creations and the talented folks who bring that skill to SL, and it is an incredible accomplishment to have done so for 14 years and counting.

We start with the flirty Faida - Christine emerald gift, in a shimmery green that really catches the light beautifully. There are sizes for Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Momma, Prima Busty, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a HUD to turn the holes (more like the fabric between the holes?) on and off. It's on for the left side of the photo and off to the right, and I wound up adding a little modesty flower on the right because it was baring more than I expected ;) That white flower is something I added to the image in Photoshop and is not part of the clothing or in SL whatsoever. 

Another irresistible gift I just had to share is the LEROY - Yasmin Outfit [Gift]. Maybe it's the dreamy pink hue, or perhaps it's the style of the corset and skirt, but I am captivated! Both pieces are designed to fit Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The corset is tied in the back with the sweetest bow, and the scalloped layers on each side of the skirt are noteworthy because they reminded me of feathers and therefore wings :) 

Some of our gifts are separates so I get to play around with various combos like this one. I started with the [Have Unequal] Jasmine Top, which is an eye-catching teal halter with three sections down the front that are laced loosely. There are Lara X, Petite X, Lively, Nhuma, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes included. Our Chelsea Pants - FaMESHed Gift from *JustBECAUSE* look terrific in dusky light blue, with a sleek fit that flares slightly at the ankle. These are provided in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn bodies, and are a versatile color and fit.

I kept those lovely pants on to share another shirt here, the Belle Epoque - 14 Top - GIFT. It's such a great way to honor the 14th anniversary, and maybe your lucky number is 14 or it's a special day for you too. I'd even wear it to honor a hockey player who sports that number :) This playfully cropped tee is tied on both sides, and will fit Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. Wear it with your favorite jeans, shorts, or skirts instead if you wish - there are so many possibilities.

My final look this evening brings us back to one of my favorite colors, thanks to our No.12 Apple Blossom / Emily II gift. Apple Blossom has rebranded as Blossie, and are in the process of reopening their shop in a new location. But meanwhile we get to appreciate their charming short sleeved dress with bold side opening to the skirt (C-string or panties strongly suggested) in a bubblegum hue. There are sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies provided.

I'm somewhere between fuming and pouting over a hockey game, when in reality I know that my team is outmatched in this series and I should be grateful that we even got this far. I am, I promise, just sore about losing in overtime after drastically outshooting our opponents. My stomach sounds like it's trying out for sound effects for a horror movie, LOL, and I need it to calm down because I'm going at least 3 places about 12 hours from now. That adventure is why I'll be taking the evening off from blogging again, lack of time to prepare the photos and notes and such. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Bens Boutique Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're headed to Bens Beauty & Boutique, whose group is currently free to join and there's a large section of wall with gifts for not only their group but others as well. I greatly appreciate their generosity, and you'll notice that these gifts also include HUDs so they are very versatile too :) Start your week with a sweet treat to add to your inventory staples. 

The evening's first look is Bens Boutique - Yuana Dress & Jacket, which is fantastic for this time of year. Its tube dress and denim jacket are each provided in Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes as well as a standard version. The enclosed HUD lets us select from 20 colors for the dress and 6 hues of denim for the jacket. I think the cropped style is fun for cool but not overly cold weather, easy to slip on or off when needed.

When it's time for a more formal look, you can reach into your virtual closet and enjoy our Bens Boutique - Shady Dress - Hud Driven gift. This satiny slip dress has an opening in the front of the skirt that is trimmed with gentle ruffles, and it seems to caress our curves :) There are sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, along with a HUD offering 45 gorgeous colors to choose from. Add the footwear and jewelry of your choice to dress things up or down. 

Sometimes we need lingerie or something extra spicy, so I'm suggesting Bens Boutique - Darlene Set Hud Control for those times. Darlene contains the bra, skirt, panties, and socks in sizes for Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD that offers 20 colors for each piece, allowing for plenty of mixing and matching :) The top, some of the skirt, and the socks are fishnet, with solid panties and the central panel of our skirt. Did you notice the little white letters on the bands? Those say OMG, which was my first thought at this sexy outfit ;)

Bens Boutique - Leigha Dress is such a fun group gift, with a wide halter neckline that plunges to show off lots of cleavage. The satin texture looks terrific in all of the 10 colors we can pick from via the HUD :) This dress will fit Freya, Inithium Original, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies.

My final look of the evening is our Bens Boutique - Paisle Set Hud Control group gift. The satin top, loose fit shorts, and chain belt are all included in sizing for Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes, along with a HUD offering 30 colors each for top and skirt plus 6 metals for the chain. It always makes me smile to get to play with HUDs and check out all of our options :) 

It was a pretty decent weekend here, and I have a few things to plan or schedule this week that will keep my fairly busy off and on for a while. RL stuff, adulting, you get the idea ;) The weather has been up and down, but I am glad we have exciting things for May to enjoy in SL. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Still Scandalous

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post brings us back to the new Scandalize group gift room, with over 100 fresh gifts to make their $90L group join fee well worth our while :) I was pleasantly surprised to see so many gifts with Lara X sizing, which is why I'm pretty sure that most of them are new to the group, and of course we have lots of fatpacks with helpful HUDs to adjust aspects of the clothing. The truly scandalous part is the thoughts of how much we save compared to full price for all of these treats! Tonight's looks are all from the right side of the building, if that makes it easier to find among our treasure trove.

For my first look of the evening, I'm wearing the playful SCANDALIZE. MILEN BODY FATPACK with matching MILEN SHORTS FATPACK. The bodysuit is provided in Lara X, Legacy, Bombshell, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, with a HUD that offers 25 solid colors and 10 prints each for body, pantie, seams 1, and seams 2. There's also a hearts HUD with 25 colors of a heart-dotted pattern to add a little romance to each part just like the main HUD. Then we unpack the shorts with the same sizes as the bodysuit, and a HUD with 25 colors for the belt and 25 denim hues for the shorts, with or without hearts. I'm certainly feeling the love here, but you can go heart-free too if that's your wish. This will be so fun for summer, and I'm planning on using the bodysuit as a swimsuit too.

Another flirty gift is our SCANDALIZE. KLEO FULL PACK, consisting of separate top, bra, and panties in Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes. I also got a bit frisky with the HUD, lol, as it offers 30 solid colors and 10 patterns each for the top, bra, straps, and panties. We can get quite creative here, mixing things up in so many ways. The top reminds me of late 80s/early 90s fishnet tops we used to wear over tank tops, but the fishnet was big and baggy so it wasn't as sexy as this ;) 

I've noticed that there are several amazing jeans sets among our many gifts, like this SCANDALIZE. REBEKA FULLPACK. We receive the top, jeans, chain (belt), garter, and heels, all in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Perky, and Reborn mesh bodies. There are several HUDs provided as well, so we can choose from 30 solids and 30 patterns for the top parts 1 and 2, sleeves, and bow; another HUD has 30 choices for the garter and bow, plus 20 denim hues for the jeans. Two HUDS for the heels (labeled 1 and 2) offer 30 color for the heels, straps 1, straps 2, insole, platform 1, platform 2, and the sole. There's even a transparency HUD so we can choose to turn the sleeves or top 2 (the upper portion in lighter blue on the left above) off or on, and adjust the sheerness in increments of 10. I really do love playing with these HUDs and seeing what all then can do to change the outfit :)

The SCANDALIZE. LIQUEUR FATPACK is a full length bodysuit with built in boots and a fun optional bow to add a little sass :) The suit comes in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu bodies, while the bow comes in the same plus an unrigged version if you need to adjust it. If the bow simply isn't your thing, you can leave it off and enjoy the sleek strapless bodysuit as is. Of course we have other customization options thanks to the HUDs, as the top-leggings one lets us choose from 40 solid colors and 7 patterns each. Then the bow-heels HUD has the same set of choices for bow and heels, with another HUD called soles that offers - you guessed it - the same 40 colors and 7 fun prints :) This brand always seems to bring out the animal print lover in me!

One final look tonight, we've got the lovely SCANDALIZE. JESSIEH FATPACK that I will probably be wearing all weekend ;) The fuzzy bare-shouldered top and slender fitting jeans with frayed waist and ankle hems (as well as an add-on for the jeans, a heart shaped charm) are each provided in Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The HUDs are plentiful, offering 30 solid colors, 30 heart patterns, and 10 assorted patterns for the top, then another HUD has 30 colors and 10 denim shades with or without hearts for the jeans plus 30 colors for the add-on. Lots of ways to change up this look, and I am a big fan of them all.

My day was pretty good, and I did enjoy the takeout from the restaurant chosen for the birthday celebration dinner :) I don't know why both my parents got the same thing I did, lol, but it was chicken marsala with sides of spinach and risotto with prosciutto. Tasty, good company, and I'm looking forward to the farmers market tomorrow as well :) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Forever Fabulous

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm feeling a bit philosophical as I pondered the end of the FabFree Bring on Spring hunt, yet the fun truly never ends with FabFree :) That is partly because of their wonderfully maintained FabFree group gift listing on the blog, which is updated all the time with new gifts that you may have spotted some of if you did any of the April hunt. Even if you're completely new to their website and group, I'm sure you can find some fabulous gifts and helpful information about participating designers' sales, new releases and more. My fangirling shall be eternal, LOL, and the gifts I'm showing you tonight are a small sampling of the countless reasons for my devotion.

For my first look tonight, I'm wearing the lovely EC Sabrina Outfit Pink 2.0 gift from Emerald Couture. With your FabFree group tag active, please right click the sign and pay $1L which will be automatically refunded while the gift is delivered :) The dress and capri pants are each provided in sizing for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Peach, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The flowing dress has a clever silhouette of cats down the middle, dividing the pink and white on back and front, while our pants have some cat heads and paw prints down the left leg :) I thought of Sabrina the teenage witch and her cat Salem with the name.

Our Tibuki - Eira 5 and 6 gift is a beautiful set of two dresses and coordinating fur stoles, in soft pastels that make me happy :) The dresses come in Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes, with the fur stoles in a single size each that should work for most shapes and sizes. I'm showing the dress 6 on the right without the stole so you can see the pattern a bit better, but the stole is a pale pink that matches its coloring nicely. One print seems more springy to me, and the other wintry, but since they are both subtle I think we can get away with either dress at any time we wish.

I also stopped by Duet, where the current FabFree gift is called Mai Dress Sapphire. Isn't she gorgeous? You'll have to take my word for it until you pick up your own copy that there are stunning animated sparkles on the dress, as it doesn't show up in still photographs. There is a HUD enclosed to adjust them, on/off as well as 3 speeds of fast, normal, or slow. The dress itself is a long sleeved beauty with partly bare back and cleavage cutout, in sizes for Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu bodies. The twinkly texture reminds me of a disco ball, so this is therefore my newest dancing dress ;)

Next we take a gander at the flirty :::FurtaCor:::Andy Set which is their thoughtful gift for FabFree. The curvy tube top goes so well with the tight leggings that are open in the front and laced loosely all the way down :) Each piece comes in Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizes, with a HUD that offers 15 colors apiece for the top, top lace (in the back), pants, and lace for the pants. So you can mix and match the colors to suit your mood or preferences, and I was surprised at how much I liked the neon green! 

One final look of the evening, we have the charming [K-Style] FIORELLA TOP & SKIRT #5 gift. The strapless top and itty bitty miniskirt are both lavishly decorated with ruffles, in a shade that reminds me of cornflower blue. This treat includes both in Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. 

I feel like the past few days have been a whirlwind, but not in a bad way necessarily. We're pulling together a last minute and early birthday celebration for a family member for tomorrow, so I've been perusing menus from 2 local places for when the birthday person decides at the last possible minute where they wish to get dinner from. Yikes. My dad is having gum surgery next week and will need to eat soft foods after, so the dinner was switched to this Friday. Nothing to worry about, just trying to make sure everyone can enjoy the birthday meal :) My mom got the same bakery who did my gluten free cheesecake a few months ago to do another for Friday, so even that is taken care of relatively simply. That was so good that I'm sure it will be another home run :) I hope you're all having a cozy day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Palomma Plaza

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post brings us to the Palomma Plaza, packed full of free group gifts with their group tag "Doves Angel" active. As I've mentioned plenty of times before, this is a continuation of The Free Dove in memory of the generous soul behind that endeavor, Palomma "Dove" Casanova. I was blessed to be a friend of hers, and will always treasure memories of her. For tonight I chose gifts from Pixels and Purplemoon, now known as :::pm::: for short :) My link should give you a red arrow between the two displays, but as always I recommend taking your time and exploring for all the generous gifts you can find here.

We start out with the sizzling =PIXELS= :::SPORTSWEAR::: outfit, which is certainly a good choice if you're looking to work up a sweat :) The tank top and capri pants are each provided in Gen X Curvy, Katherine, Kupra, Lara X, and Legacy mesh body sizes, along with a HUD that offers 8 textures each for cap (hood in back), top, lower top, upper edges, pant, and side lines. However there is a bonus 9th texture for the lower top, the sheer white one I'm showing off on the left above ;) White does go see-through when wet of course, so that aforementioned sweat must have done that. 

I do remember the brand Purplemoon fondly from eons ago, like I have a post on here from 2015 (gasp) so it is exhilarating to share their work still :) The ::: pm :::Bahia Bikini Set -pink- gift includes a bikini (top and bottom linked to wear at once) and sarong, both of which will fit Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. The bikini has some intriguing gems on its straps, and the sarong is tied just right to accentuate those. So gorgeous!

For slightly cooler weather, be sure to claim our ::: pm ::: Amelia Set -Blue & print- gift :) It looks like a separate sweater, belt, and pleated skirt, but they're all connected and worn as one piece. There are sizes for Gen X Classic/Dainty, Gen X Curvy/Dainty, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies included. The colors work so well together, and I get a kick out of the slightly bare shoulder and deep neckline.

Next is another terrific gift that you won't want to miss - ::: pm ::: Devon Dress -red/black-. The daring diagonal hemline of the dress shows off the leg chain on the left thigh, with both pieces sized for Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn bodies. We also receive a complementary BOM pair of black panties, which is the easiest way to provide a touch of modesty. The pattern of roses gives a spring vibe without being overly pastel, for those with deeper color preferences :) I get it, I've seen plenty of signs and t-shirts that say "I'll stop wearing black when they invent a darker color". 

For my final look of the night, I am feeling flirty in our ::: pm ::: Alexis Set -red/blue- gift. The red tube top and patterned miniskirt are both adorned with tiny bows that made me smile, and I think this set will carry us into summer quite nicely too. There are Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy mesh body sizes of each piece included. At this point I swapped bodies, lol, sorry but I know that would sound so strange out of context! But I went from Lara X to Lara 5.3 to accommodate the size set. It isn't a dramatic difference, but I did try on the original Maitreya sizes on the Lara X body and it was absolutely necessary to change over ;) 

I don't have much to say about my relatively quiet day, but I do want to mention that I have some plans for tomorrow that will prevent my being able to blog in the evening. I'm a little nervous because my stomach is still unsettled, 3rd or 4th day in a row, which will not be fun in a car...at least I have ways to try to distract myself to make it more bearable :) There's an app for that, LOL, as people have been able to say about nearly everything for a few years now. Really anything with videos or pictures of cute animals will help too, so I can focus on that instead of the feelings of dread from being away from home. Fingers crossed that I'll be watching a hockey game when I get home that will make me even more happy :) I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
