I've always been curious about this holiday in other cultures. I've never had or been to a girl's day celebration. My family has a "Family/Ancestor" day, but there isn't really a set time of the year for it. A lot of the times after someone passes a family day happens. Lot's of candles and drinking and stories about my family when they were younger. Tales about how we came to Canada as Debt Slaves and how our grandmothers kept the secrets of the gardens and wells while keeping up appearances for her Catholic frienamies.
RL/Mene News:
I wrote a bunch about rl news a lot for this day already. XD
Time to rearrange my inventory. XD
I'm trying a new organization method for this jar. :D Mene+RL together
I have some really nice mini toasties with goat cheese waiting for me. Also some hummus. I shall decide which to nom as the day goes on. I woke up today with a very dry sore throat so I don't know if I'll want anything other than soup or pudding.
RL/Mene News:
Went out for lunch with Chris.
Worked on art
Took some SS's in WW to use as references for BG pictures.
sneaky stuff and things
I skipped Breakfast I had a fruit smoothie instead. 260 Cals
I had soup for lunch 190 Cals
My snacks today are probably all going to be tea with honey. 60 each
ALT TRACKER: 10.000/14.750! That runway is about a month away!
It's my mom's birthday today! So she gets to make a wish. I wonder what she'll ask for. She's out with dad right now doing who knows what. I already gave her her present. My uncle called to wish her a happy birthday and thought I was her. XD
RL/Mene News:
Worked on art. I'm making a foresty type bg.
Feeling better today
Still skipped breakfast. But I had a grilled cheese and tea for lunch. 280cals
I used to play piano. I hated it. I had a teacher that sucked the fun out of music. And recorder...I think everyone in North America has played hat thing. As silly as it is.
I've always wanted to try harp, but I have zero time to dedicate into learning something like that.
RL/Mene News:
Day job long shift today.
Had frozen fruit and tea for breakfast sore throat is back. :(
Soup for lunch and supper. I'm so hungry but it hurts to eat so more drink eating. I'm only at 620 cals and I just don't want to. >.< No wonder people loose weight when they're sick.
Hmm the lat new game I tried was D3. I'm kinda a mono gamer. If I'm ply one thing I'll ignore everything else till that one it done. With WoW/D3 they're never truly done so I switch off between them. I was disappointed by Wow's current patch so I went back to D3 which had recently started it's season 2. Since they're owned by the same company it make ya wonder... XD
However come to think of it. I tried Cards Against Humanity a few moths back. It's Hilarious! Good times for sure.
RL|Mene News:
The sore throat continues.
MORE tea. Mom also bought me some juice
I sold a few CI's I'm back up to 130K :D
I was nomed for the user pick by Sjacklene
I entered the same avatar into "Strut your Stuff"
I got 1K for playing the Russian roulette game. :D
I love all the NPC's but Cessy and Channah are tied for first. One mature and hot tempered the other innocent and easy going. They balance each other out nicely. Then again, Channah does get points for awesome hair. I could so see her in a rockabilly do. I really loved the recent "make over" challenge we had for her. And Cessy is known for cute art contests. :D
RL|Mene News:
The sore throat continues. But must do things today.
Took Lilith to her geology course for 9:30AM- 2:00PM.
Got taxes done and out of the way at 11:00 AM.
Did Shopping stuff around 12:00
Talked to a guy about my computer and got some new Ram. 1:00
Picked up Lilith and went home 2:00-2:46PM.
Got in an put in new ram. Hopefully this will be the easy fix and not the Video card. 3:00-3:15
3:23 realize I said I'd drop off my Nephew somewhere at 4:00...DANG IT! I'll be making dinner when I get back
I can't say there is any music I hate. If I'm not feeling it I just change it. Mostly I just have lists I listen to on youtube while I'm doing things or I put on netflicks in the bg.
I also don't "love" any music. I like a lot of different things but I don't really follow up on any bands or musicians in particular.
RL|Mene News:
Very happy with art progress today. I Uploaded my final update for March last night. If I can keep up this pace and do a month's worth of Scheduled updates a week I'll be able to have a comfortable cushion for renovating next spring. :D
Starting work on an April first update. It's a single panel comic.
I won twice in Roll up the Rim this Weekend. :D yay free coffee!
I have a 7:30-10:30 AM shift. . . It's a short one so I'm like, well I'll just sleep later. I'm not really tired at all and it's almost 3:00. Hmmm what to do. Ahh finish up a picture.
A prompt was missed for the 11th. Oopsie.
I was super sleepy yesterday after work so I didn't get much of anything done when I got home. Which was fine since I used the night to do stuff. I was in and out of sleep until around 6 or 7PM and finally fell asleep to something on netflicks. Mostly because I stayed up for like 24 hours. I feel good now and ready for the day. I have things planed for after-work.
RL|Mene News:
I had an egg and toast with coffee for breakfast 220
Working 9:30-5:30 today won't be home till around 6:00PM
I don't think I have any. Maybe menewsha. It's more of a habit than obsession I think. A comfy community of people I'll never meet. Pretty shinnies to collect.
RL|Mene News:
Running late today! cereal bar 90 cals
Worked a short 10:00-3:00 shift today
Got home and worked out a bit. It was around 5:00 PM that I made dinner.
Club sub I forgot to eat at lunch for dinner 350 for my half plus a salad.
It happens. I've never had it happen for any of the superstitious reasons. No black cats or ladder involvement. My luck is caused by my own stupidity when it happens. I'm actually fairly lucky. :D I win things at socials and I usually place in contests I join.
RL|Mene News:
OJ for breakfast 60 cals
Worked another 10:00-3:00 shift today
Made dinner around 4:00PM just a simple salad mood lately. Oh and lunch was a tuna sub so about 650 altogether. I think I might have pudding tonight, but I'm not really sure. Then again coffee also sounds yummy.
I don't know why I keep my receipts still. Now that everything is electronic there really is no need. I guess it's just a habit now. I can't believe how many I had in there. XD
RL|Mene News:
Today is a slow mene posting kind of day
I made a couple St.Patricks day avatars for the event. :D
I got a cool maha siggy! :D
Bought all the cool new commons! :D 71 new shinies for only 12K! Still over 100K :D
That's something I hope to never know for sure. I just want to keep coming back and learning new things and seeing different ways. :D I don't really think it would look like anything to be honest. I think it would be more like a feeling or colours.
And yay for it officially being St.Patrick's day!
RL|Mene News:
I need to get some art done today! XD I've been naughty paying to much attention to mene. I don't want to loose sight of my goals for my 2016 renovations. :D Just because I got all of Marches Updates done doesn't mean I shouldn't be working on Aprils. Bad Neph bad bad!
Another awesome banner by Maha!
Jelly sent out 333 gold for joining the avatar bootcamp thingy. :D
Emilio gave me his new flavor of NPC candy!!! Eeeee! XD
I won 1000g from Baby's contest! :D
I had Spicy Thai soup with a sweet apple biscuit 560 and some Oatmeal and juice for breaky 240 No planed snacks yet, but I do have some coconut icys and chips.
After talking back and forth for the past few weeks on facebook we decided to give this another shot. He came with me to my cousins social and Everyone was really happy for us. Meanwhile I'm here like... but it's for my cousin. There was a lot of dancing and fun had by everyone. The kids (Lilith and my nephew Daniel) We're really happy to see Chris again because he actually pays attention to them unlike some other adults. I feel like we've both grown from this and I'm looking forward to being stronger because of it.
(My Nephew is good at photo bombing)
....
We have a bunch more photos on my Face Book - Christine Landrie
The last image I saw was I base I'm working on for some costume stuff. I'm practicing separating layers a a style of shading that will allow me to make an sell adoptable. This first base though won't be. It's just going to be used for me. :)
RL|Mene News:
10:30 AM-3:30 PM Lots of prep work for a school order. Going in early tomorrow.
I uploaded and scheduled a few pictures today. I'm only up to April 4th in updates. >.< However I did work on something I put slotted for December. :D So yay. :D
BUBBLES! I've always been fascinated with these things. As I get older I still love to play with them.
RL|Mene News:

A few things. :D I get to see my sister later today and hang out. We haven't been able to for a long time. It's going to be a good day! :D
RL|Mene News:
Was really bust Saturday. Did a lot of running around with Lilith. Started planing a new costume. A bunch of good things like that. We never got to the museum. :( But Lilith is on Spring break soon so we decided we're going then.
It was wonderful seeing my sister today. :D She has a HUGE frozen collection of very expensive dolls. Her living room is full of them. I joke she could open a museum. Also monster high and other ball joint dolls. Lilith and Danny went off playing with a couple of the neighborhood girls. I was happy to see Lilith be so open and social today. :D The cake was Marble with a nice custard in it. We also watched Big Hero 6 together. Lots of laughs and it was nice to have everyone together. :D
RL|Mene News:
Ate 2 pieces of Pizza at the party and regretted it immediately. Ouch my tummy! I can't handle cheese anymore >.< Plus cake and pop...ewww so much food! XD
I have so many. When mom made birthday cakes for me and Amy she'd make them from scratch and decorated them into things we enjoyed. Like one year she made this mermaid cat because my sister loved cats and I was really into mermaids. XD Another year was rainbow bright shrinky-dinks.
Or how every year we used to go down to the lake and look for snakes and cray fish. We were little tomboys. XD
RL|Mene News:
My Brunch was soup and a bun with a chocolate coffee 420
I've decided one child is enough for me long time ago. I'm turning 33 this year so I'm not really thinking baby. I've had a migraine headache all day today. My eyes and body ache. I can't wait till menopause. XD
