CARRIED AWAY

"I get carried away, carried away, from you
When I'm hoping and I'm praying,
Cause I'm sorry, sorry 'bout that.
Sorry 'bout things that I've said.
Always let it get to my head..."

Lolita Oleander
Life lately has been pretty good. Stops, looks around and is grateful for everything. I have been laughing more and feeling so much love from my family and friends. It's very hard not to be all mush and lovey right back. I have a super cool older SL brother, a lovely silly and amazing SL sister. My love Takeo and our children, Raven, Jorge and Brooke. Also a ton of extended family that I can't wait to get to know better. *smiles*

My goal for the rest of the week is to clean my inventory and get ready for this next round of The Arcade Gatcha Festival. I'm so excited!

TE DIJERON - EXPORING SECOND LIFE MEME

OUR HOME

The Oleander Fall Home

Strawberry Singh’s blog meme this week is all about Exploring Second Life. If you haven’t already you should check out her blog HERE. Meme Instructions: Share 1 to 5 of your favorite places on the grid. Share places you think everyone should visit and also tell us why they are your favorites.


1. My number #1 favorite place to be in SL is of course OUR HOME. We just recently had the seasons change on our land and it's the pretty colors of fall. *happy sigh*

2. My number #2 favorite place to explore or visit in SL would be DePaul University. This place is amazing! It's a great place to take your SL family or a group of friends. They have so much to do here. Horse back riding, bike racing, treasure hunting, great places to play hide and go seek, paintball, and so much more.

3. My number #3 favorite place to explore or visit in SL would be Club Zero. My Takeo use to DJ there and we like the music a lot. When we want to go listen and dance to some great songs we get in the car and he takes me out dancing. The type of music is Industrial.

4. My number #4 favorite place to explore or visit in SL would be Wanderstill, Ode. I love this place for so many reasons. It's beautiful and the flowers just make me happy. It's also the place my Takeo asked me to marry him. *smiles*

5. My number #5 favorite place to explore or visit in SL would be HuMaNoiD. This is a great place to explore and take pretty pictures. Little spots to go sit and relax. In the center are doors that take you to out of the way places with great ambiance. If you've never been here you must go explore.

THE SUBURBS- SECOND LIFE GROUPS MEME

Lolita Oleander


Strawberry Singh’s blog meme this week is all about Our SecondLife Groups. If you haven’t already you should check out her blog HERE. Meme Instructions: Answer the following questions about groups and share some of your favs with us.


1. Have you reached the 42 group limit?
Yes. As of today August 20, 2013 I am in 36 out of 42 groups right now.

2. Do you do a lot of group hopping to keep up with all the groups you want to stay a part of?
Not really. At first I was just excited to get more group space and I might have joined a bunch of groups I really didn't need to be in. Mostly DJ groups and a few stores. Once I learned what I actually wanted and needed to be a part of I cleaned up my groups. Also about that time subscribers showed up and they take no group space at all so I would join those and leave the SecondLife Group.

3. What makes you want to join a group?
*Thinking* The last group I joined was a store group that instantly gave me a cute gift and discounts. So I guess that's a reason why I would join a group.
My favorite group right now I would have to say is my family group. I would want to join that group because we have cute and loving titles in it. We have made cute ones for the kids that they love using. Takeo and I have love ones we've made for each other. I think that's one of the best parts about being in that group. *smiles* I also have to add some people are super creative about the titles they create and come up with. I'm sure you've all seen them while out shopping and dancing. Some also make me cringe and laugh but in the end it was entertaining.

4. A lot of store VIP groups have a group fee which you have to pay to join. How do you feel about paying group fees?
I've joined VIP group before because I really really really wanted a gift they had out. I've recently had a store close that I was a VIP member of and the start price was pretty high. So I will always give it a second thought before I join those groups again.

5. Name a few groups that you are a part of that you feel everyone should look into joining and share your reasons behind that.
Oh this is hard. I don't know the answer to this one. I like being in a couple of store groups for the discounts and gifts. The one I've been using a lot is What Next VIP group.

START OF TIME - THANKFUL & IMPROVE

Lolita Oleander


Natalee Oodles offered a challenge to us in honor of Millie Gears who recently passed away unexpectedly. It's called "Challenge Yourself: Be Thankful & Improve." As I wander around our property I often think of how grateful and thankful I am to have a great many things in my life. Family and friends being at the top of my list. Recently my family has grown and I can not tell you how happy my heart has been. Which makes me think of the second part of the challenge to myself. Improve. I will make sure not to take for granted those people that call me family and friends. I just want you all to know that I am glad to call you my friends. I am glad to have met you. I'm glad that we have memories and will be making many others together.

LOLITA IS A TAURUS - STARS DANCE

Strawberry Singh’s blog meme this week is all about the Zodiac. If you haven’t already you should check out her blog HERE. Meme instructions: Copy and paste the following questions and answers into your post.

Lolita Oleander


1. What is your birthday and/or Zodiac sign?
My birthday is May 13th, therefore I am a Taurus.

2. Do you believe in or follow astrology?
Nope

3. Do you feel your sign’s attributes reflect who you are?
I don’t memorize what my attributes and there are so many renditions that on giving days when I read one I can see a little part of me in what they say a Taurus is. After reading and time passes I forget what they are again until the next time someone does a meme or I’m at a Chinese restaurant reading the placemat that tells me my Chinese zodiac. I was born in the year of the Horse.

4. Have you ever been to a psychic or astrologer either in RL or in SL?
Nope never been to either in RL or SL.

I did one Halloween play in a college fair event a palm reading Gypsy. I had no idea what I was doing I just looked at many hands and told them they were, lucky, showed a long life line and I could see a promising future in the upcoming weeks.

5. Do you read your horoscope daily and try to follow any advice, recommendations or warnings it may have for you that day?
I never look up my horoscope. One of my coworkers checks the news paper daily for hers all the time. If I’m around when she opens the new paper I will ask her if I can see mine but most of the time it makes no sense in connection to my life that I can see. If anything warned me like, “Don’t go on any long distance trips this weekend.” And I was going out of town and planned it. I’d still go out of town.

6. Do you have very strong feelings about astrology, either negative or positive?
Nope my feelings aren’t strong. I think its fun. I like the random meme’s on Plurk “Let us see if your sign matches you?” or let me see who it tells me my best love match connection is.

IT MADE ME THINK OF YOU

"Sunlight comes creeping in
Illuminates our skin
We watch the day go by
Stories of all we did
It made me think of you..."


I know I say this all the time but this is my new favorite outfit. *smiles* I just love the new painted rustic bangles from +Half-Deer+. I had to have them all so pretty! I've always loved the shorts and my new top is so cute! Even my new key necklace from KOSH makes me happy. I hope you all had a great weekend.
