Much Needed...

As some of you know, I have taken a much needed break from the simming world. Too much drama was happening and my RL was too busy for all of the time it was taking up. Thus, why no updates here because it IS a simming blog. I'm on and off with free time these days, still judging and doing Sensation. Probably start up modeling again soon too. But I really needed it. I have a clear head now and no pressure or stress or drama and it's awesome! :)

Yikes

So I probably should mention that I will not be super active in the simming community. Beginner's Luck FINALLY came to an end. It went on much longer than I anticpated. Cause well it was supposed to end like 2 weeks ago. I had to drop one modeling comp and will probably have to drop more still, we will see. I've got good stuff going on in my real life that is keeping me distracted. Plus, when Pets comes out I plan to only play for fun for a while. I will still keep up with mod responsibilities, so I will sign on as often as possible, clear chats, browse the boards etc. I also plan on sticking with my magazine stuff, and even judging but as for modeling in competitions I just don't think I have to free time to dedicate what they deserve. We'll see I guess. Also:

Runner up - ixSydney :)

Winner - BOrdelinski

Honorable Mentions for: OCeanSapphire & Treekikat10

Congratulations to all of you, it was great to watch you all progress throughout the competition. :)

Aw Snap!

Haha Random titles rock. So anywhoo I won OSM by 30 points! I whooped that clown! hahaha. Of course, look who I was up against...about anyone else I wouldn't be so in your face, but you all know how I feel about that one. Um I guess this is the part where I update my awesome people on modeling stuff. So here's some pictures and stuff.

Beech Modeling: Beach Dream

I got 3rd, tied with Blissy 

(BTW it's hard to want to spell Beach like that haha)

Glamour Modeling Assignment 1

Not placed yet.

Hitched Assignment 6

And finally Pink Assignment 7

Got 2nd. I really liked this one :)

So I find it incredibly sad how one group of rotten apples can spoil the whole bunch. So many people want to leave the simming community because of the drama. It's everywhere like the damn plaque. It's fun when people can be civil and nice to each other. I'm just tired of it and while I realize this greatly contradicts recent posts I wasn't one for it to begin with. I just got caught up because I actually stood up for my friend because I love her and she is a great person who was hurt by someone she thought was her friend. And then there are those people who get involved when it has nothing to do with them and all they do is escalate the problem. I'm done with it. If those people want to keep the drama going they can do it in their own circle amongst themselves. I'm a mother of two have more important things to do than care about what someone on the internet thinks about me. To be honest, I am a bitch and I get bitchy. I'm tired of everyone being butthurt about everything. Move on, its done. Then end.

End rant lol. Um so what to do now, since I like writing out my to-dos. Demons is in sign-ups for a few more days, if you haven't signed up you totally should! It's hosted by Nims (Simanims) and its going to be awesome! Waiting for Hitched scores. Beech is due the 7th, Pink the 8th. Have mag stuff to do for both mags yet. Gotta wrap up BL2, which is taking a hell of a lot longer than I wanted it to, I just want it over, while I've enjoyed it I'm ready for it to be done like 2 days ago. I really just want to phase out the officials, there's nothing of interest over there. After that and hitched I can basically be done with it. I also intend to take a break from modeling when my comps come to a close, I'm trying to avoid dropping. I just want to enjoy simming and right now modeling is taking that away. I haven't played my game for fun in so damn long cause something is always due. Sorry this is such a long blog, congrats if you made it to this point lol

He broke my eggs!!!

So been up to so much lately. I've been too busy to do anything. I stopped updating my legacy because I just haven't had time. I've been crammed with modeling things and magazine stuff. Enamour's first issue will be launching in about a week. :) And of course everytime with Sensation I have to use one piece of CC that I cannot find! lol and then end up finding it last minute. I'm in the finale for OSM so I worked really hard on my entries, I'm going up against L (aka simslover740). Anyway I'm going to pic spam you all with modeling pic updates!

This was my lifeguard assignment for Beech. Got host's choice but 5th place.

Hitched Assignment 5: Temptation.

OSM Assignment 7: Playful Got 2nd and a place in the finale

Finale Exotic shot. It was inspired from a RL photoshoot I saw online.

The second half of the finale Old Hollywood. I did alittle hair drawing to give the hair a more hair-like appearance.

And lastly my most recent Pink assignment.

Still very busy with stuff. BL2 is coming to a close after almost a week long extension. Have to work on Beech, Hitched, Pink, getting a model for Glamour, Enamour articles, setting things up for Enamoured which is Enamour's official modeling comp which will begin next month. And finally making my simself into a demon for Nim's Demon comp. :)

YAY

Okay, so I'm in the finale of OSM. Yay <3 I'm *hopefully* gonna kick some ass. I needed to get scores posted for BL2 but unfortunately I haven't had access to the forums. So poo sticks. I also made an awesomesauce piccy for Pen and Cait.

Love you girls :)

I've still got Beech to do and Hitched, plus mag assignments for both mags. So I'll be a busy bee tomorrow. I also need to start searching for my tablet which I will be getting Tuesday <3 And finally update my legacy, I lacked a bit with it out of sheer laziness.

Funky

I don't know what to do. I'm in a complete simming funk. I don't want to play for fun and I really really don't want to model. I think I've overloaded myself on the comps so now I've broken myself lol. I need a break. I just did two assignments and neither of them were good. I mean they were bad. My pink assignment was horrible...but part of that had to do with the fact that I wasn't feeling the assignment. The other part is being uninspired and undriven. I dunno what it is..like I said I'm in a funk. I do want to do mag stuff, and have to but I just can't be bothered to open my game. I've had alot of crazy stuff going on lately so maybe that's why. Better get my butt on to some Sensation stuff...

So not Sims

So I know this is a simming blog, but indulge me if you will. I'm going off and talking about a culinary endeavor which I will be taking tomorrow night. First anyone who knows me or talks to me regularly knows I love to cook. If you ask my husband I'm an amazing cook. If you ask me I'd say I'm pretty good especially for teaching myself. I am by no means a chef. The only training I have is myself and hours of Food Network. But thanks to inspiration from a few shows I am making a completely fresh awesome meal tomorrow night. I'll be making a turkey meatloaf with sage and sundried tomatoes. Various grilled vegetables (onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and cucumbers). And either a salad or homemade mashed potatoes. I'll also be making a vinaigrette from scratch either for the grilled veggies or salad dependent upon whether or not I make the salad. I'll let you know how it turns out and stuff :) BTW getting Nate to try a meatloaf made with something other than beef was hard work...but he likes my cooking so much he's gonna try it for me. I promised him if he doesn't like it I won't make it again. LOL
