A little meme about my little routine...

I saw Laleeta Xue has gotten restless with us not blogging enough so she has asked us to write out what our routine is when we start our days in Second life. This seems like an easy enough meme for post-Turkey Day so I will play! Great idea Laleeta.

OK...so when I first log in, I am naked. This is because I log out right after spending time with my husband, saying good night to him and giving him good night kisses. No time to dress. However, the first thing I do when I get in-world is not dress, but go through any IM's or notices. So, I stand there in my foyer nude while I read things. Heaven forbid anyone wants to TP me somewhere or come visit. However, I have to do things in this order because it drives me crazy to have unread notices and unanswered IM's blocking up screen space on my PC. I need to get these out of the way.

Next, I TP upstairs to our bedroom and get onto my posing stand. We used to have two posing stands in the bedroom. (His and hers, isn't that cute?) I set one up for my husband when he first built the house, but he never used it. He doesn't even use a stand when he needs to adjust something - which amazes me.

Then, I try to think of what I'll be doing that day and get dressed appropriately. Lots of times I will just put on a golf shirt and jeans or a yoga outfit and sneakers. It takes way too much effort to dress up all of the time - I could never be a "fashionista" - all I would do all day long is dress and undress. I am not sure how they have time for anything else. However, I do try to mix it up once in a while so that people don't see me wearing the same thing all of the time.

Once I have my clothes picked out, I will decide if it is time to change my hairstyle. I do not like to get into a rut and wear the same one every day. Even though you often see me on my blog in the same hairstyles, that is because those are the ones that photograph best.

Next, I TP over to Starting Point and check things out. I check to see if there are any objects left around, if any residents are home so that I can say hi, and (now that I know how to do it) I check to make sure no one is over on their prim count. If they are I send a quick IM to them to let them know.

Then, I go sit in the lounge area of Starting Point for while. I use this time to check to see if any friends are logged in and I will occasionally send them a "wave". I do this because I am always afraid to be interrupting them. With a wave, they know I am thinking of them and if they feel like a conversation they can start IMing. But if they are busy, they don't feel obligated to start a conversation. I also use this time to sort and clean my inventory. (Before we had Starting Point I used to sit out by our pool at home and do this.)

The reason I do this while sitting at Starting Point is that sometimes people find us in search and just drop by wanting information on living there or they don't know what Starting Point is and want to know. One such visitor actually thought that Starting Point was the place where the "game" of SL started and was there so that he could start playing! We recently put up signs that give out information cards and residency applications, so that helps when we cannot be there in person.

One thing that is funny about Starting Point is that it was built on the remains of an old sex club. So occasionally, people with old landmarks show up looking for more fun than Starting Point is going to offer them, if you know what I mean.

So once I have said hi to some friends and straightened my inventory some, I am ready to start my day.

There. How much more boring could that possibly be?

I am soooooo interested in hearing what your log in routines are! So please leave me a comment or post them on your blog!
