that's quite long! But I've watched movies that were longer...

- To be fair, I could get the care I need if I could find anyone willing todrive 60+ miles one way to get me to a doc but no one will. So, I'll just keep taking the aleve when it flares up and hope for the best. :D

- I'm so glad you got so many lovely HA items. It makes me a bit sad I can't actually see what you make with them. :D

I can watch long movies at home but the thought of sitting in a theater for a movie much over 2 hours would be rough as I'm a wiggle worm. lol

Well I hope the Alieve helps! Who won the war of the Christmas decorations?

I'll give you a word-picture of the current one. A blue-skinned woman with brown tan-streaked hair, not quite down to her shoulders, side parted with long bangs, stands on gravel at the riverside on a misty day. Behind her is the river, and behind that, a stand of shadowed evergreen trees. She has a tired but not unhappy expression on her face, wearing a thick hand-knitted diagonal plaid sweater, standing with hands in the pockets of khaki trousers tucked into boots halfway between the reddish purple and the light brown shades of the sweater. The only fancy thing on her is the dangly earrings in crystal the color of white wine.

wiggling is probably the only way to keep your butt from falling asleep when at the movie theater for such a long show!

(edited to add in picture since I just changed... so more visually oriented people know what I was describing)

🤣 That was exactly what I was thinking! 😊

your mind is a brilliant, unique place ❤

Ack I poofed, I'm sorry! I needed a social break after all the Lumi thank you's 😂 How was your New Year? :3

Thank you so much :O I always wondered if people looked at the previews or not 😂 I really appreciate it!

hugs tight How are you doing? Are you hands doing any better?

- That sounds like a very calming scene. Your HA also sounds pretty. Thank you for the word picture. :D

- It does help. :) Oh, the ornament war...😆 My son won after tying the ornaments in my hubby's beard. My son doesn't have long hair or a beard so hubby could do it back to him. Plus our son barely sleeps so hubby could never catch him asleep. Hubby swore vengence, though. I fear my son may wake up bald by the end of this. 😆 😂

it was calming! glad you enjoyed, it was good writing practice, I don't describe scenes enough in my stories :D the new HA's just a bunch of shades of blue lol

- Writing practice is always a good thing. I try not to describe scenes, either, unless it's important for the storyline. I like to leave it up to the reader's imagination. :) Shades of blue sounds calming and pretty, too. :D

I love your HA!👏🏼 I think i just saw that background somewhere but forgot where. Not really that brilliant!🤣🤣🤣

I get it. I have a love/hate with Lumi! 🤭

Lol! That's great your son is winning at the moment. And I'm Team Son!! 😁

Same 😂 I get a little overwhelmed. I'm glad for the normalcy again 😂

I get big time overwhelmed! And yet it's so fun too. Was just thinking i made it through another holiday season. Lol

- huggle-squishes you How have you been lately? :D

- I'm neutral although I do think it's funny that our son has gifured out how to confound the hubby. And you're right, thisisn't over by a long shot. 😂

You're very smart to take a neutral stance! But keep me updated please! 😁❤️

I always look at the preview, but sometimes it's really hard to tell which item is even the one intended to be previewed, especially on discord where there's no hover! sometimes it's a game "see if I can find the CW wear item being previewed on this HA based on its colors and item image" 🤣

same, I think, and I should probably try to do more describing, at least a little. It's an opportunity to show the emotions the character feels about their surroundings, and can add texture to the story

Thank you! I love these new year dresses (and of course the blue one gets featured first) -- about the bkg, It was a lovely Lumi gift if you mean the main CW bkg, there's several items layered though and I think at least 4 are CWs but most are foreground rather than background ??

CW background =

CW foregrounds used over background =

Bahahaha! It was a lot less overwhelming this year than past years, I will say that. But still enough to make me unsocial for a few days 😂

I've been good!! Just been enjoying the last of Jesse's winter break before he goes back to school. How about you??

Oh noooo 😅 Yeah the hover onsite is super helpful 😂

You did great! I was thinking of a different background item but love the ones you used. If I remember what it was I'll show it to you.

Glad you're back!💗 Did the kids love what Santa brought them?

I'm looking forward to when the hover on the new kumos.subeta has the functionality of our classic subeta one

I'd love to know which background item my background collage reminded you of! I was taking the very bright blue and trying to make it softer and glitterier like the dress, and was happy with how it came out 😄

It's going to drive me crazy until I figure out which background I was thinking of. Lol And those New Year dresses are lovely!

Edit to say: I think maybe it was this:
