Shopping Nirvana

1 21Shoes & My Attic

Happiness may be a warm puppy, but it’s also a two-for-one shoe sale on the same day I visited My Attic @ The Deck! As you can see, I was positively giddy after my latest shopping excursion. And who can blame me? My boots, the Cream version of Eudora 3D’s Coffee & Cream Edition for the inaugural 21Shoe event are sparkly-new and oh-so-cute. And don’t forget about my new hairstyle by MINA, cashmere top and comfy yoga pants (each one of a pair in the sets) by *Fishy Strawberry* and my pose set by {NanTra}, all nabbed at My Attic. Two stops, all this goodness (plus more I haven’t shown…yet 😉 )

Now I can just lie back and fall asleep, dreaming happily of shopping nirvana.

Unfortunately, 21Shoe is a one-day only sales event, so if you missed it this month be sure follow the 21Shoe blog or join the in-world group to keep up to date. (I’ll grab the link and update my blog when I get in SL later, or you can find it in the Groups in my Profile).

Just a quick note of advice: be careful about carrying on a conversation while posing oneself. I accidentally let my mouse slip and shot myself across the sim o.O The things I put myself through for a happy snap!

Yesterday was a big day for my little blog. It turned one year old. It was also the day with the highest number of views since I started. I am humbled and thankful to everyone who has stopped by over the past year, whether the casual viewer or the dedicated friend.

Since I did a retrospective for the New Year, I’m just going to sit back and give myself a wee pat on the back for hitting this milestone. Yes, it would have happened whether I was an active blogger or if I had just opened the account and let this page languish. But I have spent a lot of hours photographing, processing, sweating, laughing and crying for this tiny little mark on the interwebs. I am sending out big hugs to those people who have been with me since the beginning and have joined me along the way. You know who you are; if you are reading this post, you may consider yourself hugged ❤

The photo has nothing to do with an anniversary edition. I just felt like dressing up and looking pretty. No shame in admitting I think I am pretty; it’s my party and I’ll preen if I want to.

Happy Anniversary to me!

How NOT To Bathe A Cat

1 How NOT to bathe a cat

I mentioned a couple of days ago that I gave my cat a bath. There she was, poor dear, minding her own business on the balcony – and she got pooped on by a pigeon 😦 I hadn’t bathed her yet this summer so it was the impetus I needed to go ahead and do it.

What surprised me was how many people commented on how brave I was to give her a bath. To be honest, she doesn’t mind water – in fact, she has been known to push open the shower door and join me, sitting just at the edge of the spray and she loves to drink from and play with the water running from the tap. On top of that, I have been bathing her since she was a kitten and she is now a regal nine years old. She isn’t crazy about the shampoo, but I make sure I have a firm grip on her and get on to the rinsing in a hurry.

I made a list of the steps on how to bathe a cat in my comments, then I thought it would be fun to show how to do it in my blog. Sadly, I couldn’t find all of the bits and pieces I needed so that is how this ended up as a “How Not To” post, instead.
