Good afternoon! Saturday was a good day. I got the mail, chatted w/ Pete, picked Kyle up from school, got fuel, worked on my Daisy Lace knit while watching Dirty Jobs: S1E1, surfed eBay, checked facebook & took my game turns, worked on my Lace Doily while watching Overhaulin': S1E1, updated the look of my schedule on my personal Website, took the dogs out, worked on my Plastic Canvas while watching Hoarders: S1E1, then worked on the Tardis afghan while watching TV w/ Pete. Saturday's game was Lexington. My
Sim is still in school & has been doing homework & working on skills. Yesterday was good too, I took the dogs out, worked on my Bavarian crochet while watching Parenthood: S1E1, worked on my board knitting while watching Real World Road Rules, made egg salad for breakfast, went through the Sunday paper, surfed eBay, hand knitted while watching Warehouse 13: S1E1, did some work at the other house, created the Bavarian Crochet page on my personal Website (1st pic), went to Taco Bell w/ Pete for lunch, took the dogs out, then quilt crocheted until I ran out of yarn for that particular project & then just watched TV w/ Pete until dawn (he couldn't sleep). Today when we go out (I seem to have to go SOMEWHERE EVERY damn day lately & am never even getting CLOSE to finishing my day here at the house anymore), I'm going to also go to Wal Mart & pick up that yarn. Pete said he'd pick it up on his way home from work, but that's going to be pretty late & I'd like to finish the panel I started last night before the kitten takes off across the room with it & unravels it or something. Yesterday's game was the Lakeside Mansion by Curtis Paradis. My Sim has been going to class & working on skills. After only 4 hours sleep (or less) I was up, downing a 5 Hour Energy & starting my day. I took the dogs out & Pete didn't have to be in to work until later so he wanted to watch some more TV. After he started getting ready for work I watched K-19, chatted w/ Pete, & got the mail. It's already 4:p & as I said I have to go out when I finish this blog, so I'm not going to get much else done today (unfortunately). It's very difficult to stay positive, upbeat, & "happy" when I'm hardly ever getting to the 2nd half of my day. When I say it wasn't a good day, that means I didn't even get to lunch on my schedule. A good day means I made it at least to lunch. A perfect day means I got EVERYTHING scheduled for that day DONE! Unfortunately perfect days are very, very rare. Today's Sims game is Chestnut Hill (2nd pic). My newly married Sim (Lewis), has just enrolled in the University on an apprentice science award. City Council Meeting tomorrow night @ 7:p.

State of Connecticut, the Connecticut State Legislature, is trying to ban, so help me this is true, trying to ban throwing rice at weddings. Now do you know why? The birds, apparently, eat this rice. it expands in their stomach & birds have been known to explode. Do you know how guilty I feel? I've probably wiped out several migrations to the south. -Johnny Carson 1985
