Good afternoon! I got more socializing than crafting done yesterday ... but I did manage to squeeze it all in somehow. I chatted w/ Ann-Marie in IM, chatted w/ Kyle, made an over easy egg for breakfast, chatted w/ Ann-Marie in IM again, cleaned the house, surfed eBay, checked facebook & took my game turns, worked on my Knit Wit afghan, added another background to my Website while deciding to have bacon for breakfast today, & since Pete was home early from work, we went grocery shopping, came home & then it was the nightly routine & bed. My Sim, Hazel from the Sussex Valley house, went to the University Meet & Greet, tested the skeletal structure, studied, boned up on

anatomy, tested the skeletal structure again, had dinner, & went to bed. The next morning she had breakfast & went to her 1st class. This morning Pete woke me up with a phone call or who knows how long I would have slept. I took the dogs out & worked on my Bavarian Crochet. My Sims game for the day is Modern Condo by Curtis Paradis (2nd pic). My current Sim is Victoria Bunch who is currently pregnant & that's why she hasn't enrolled in the University yet. As soon as the baby is born though, she'll start working on her degree. Sunday is Mother's Day.

Beware! A rarely seen relative might barge in for an extended stay. And I say "barge" because they'll be the size of one. Don't forget to put the plunger in plain view & stock up on room freshener.

Doing color yourself? Don't make too drastic a change. Stay within 1 or 2 shades of your natural color.

Empathic listening takes time, but it doesn't take anywhere near as much time as it takes to back up & correct misunderstandings when you're already miles down the road, to redo, to live with unexpressed & unresolved problems, to deal w/ the results of not giving people psychological air.
