Well since my wife caved and did the challenge that was started by the Shopping Cart Disco bloggers, and then she herself invited males to share what they have in their wallets/pockets/man bags..... here is what I have....

RE: A little meme about my little routine...

This started as a comment to my wife's blog A little meme about my little routine... Which was a meme answer to Laleeta Xue's question about what our starting routine is. As my comment was getting a little long winded, I thought I should put it on this blog thingy I have.

When I log in for the first time it is usually at lunch and I am already dressed. Many a time I would normally log in nude, as my wife and I will have just finished...ah..doing laundry the night before ;-) But I usually try to get dressed before logging out. I have a weird paranoia that a co-worker will walk up to me at lunch, and see me staring at a rezing nude male avatar and wonder about my sexuality - lol. Not that they don't wonder about me as it is. It is just that SL can be a hard thing to explain to the uninitiated. You do what in there?? Sorry, I am getting off track.

Anyway, there I am dressed from the night before. I usually have a number of tasks in mind for that lunch hour. I rarely socialize when I am in over lunch. Hey it's me, not you! Often I do not even look at my friends list...I just get right to building..or fixing something. Oh, one important thing is to check my messages for something new from my wife. I like to stay on top of my "honey-do" list if I can :-) Once in a rare while we get to be in over lunch together! Occasionally on a slow day at work I can pop in again briefly before heading home. I usually build a little or shop at this time. Sometimes I will IM friends.

Next time I log in will be in the evening. Often I am eating my dinner in RL and trying to keep crumbs off the keyboard - lol. The FIRST thing I do is check to see if my wonderful wife is online. Odds are she is :-) But I still get a thrill seeing her name in bold on my friends list. My heart starts racing, and I...oh sorry, getting off track again. While the routine varies night to night, we always have a great time. We love to talk, build, work on the Starting Point, our house, grounds, and condos, go explore, shop, visit friends and go to parties. But most of all be horny newlyweds :-0

One last thing. Why do people use pose stands? Once you click edit on an object, that you are wearing, your av freezes the same as being on a stand. Sure it can be a little bit of a challenge to click on a ring on a moving hand to edit it... but that is part of the fun in life :-)
