Stuff
I've finally been playing a bit. I don't even want to think about how many papers I have to grade on this lovely Memorial Day weekend. It came out to about 15 a day, only today I went out shopping instead and bought some new clothes. I suppose they were impulse buys, and I do have to be careful about those, when I have been so good.
But I got an absolutely adorable hat, and a nice black dress and a white dress and a hair accessory from Anthropologie, which frankly I thought was too young for me. I figured I would look all hideous and bulgy but I don't. It's probably because the clothes *look* all floaty and unstructured, which looks like heck if you have any body at all, but they really aren't. They're all lined and well constructed. AND the dresses show off my knees. So between that and some stuff I got from J Peterman, I have some great stuff, if only I had somewhere to wear it.
Dinadan and Penelope gave me their first child. Well, children. Twins. BOYS. Twin boys. It's a good thing I like Dinadan, because between that and his Six Grandchildren LTW he is in my black books. They have two cats, but of course the cats can't have kittens and let the house get all full: there's only room for one more baby as it is. If the worst comes to the worst, I can let Jack and Sophia move out to their own little house, which is what I was thinking of doing anyhow. (Notice how I'm pretending that I'm not all excited to have twin boys named Gawaine and Parsifal?)
Speaking of Sim children, Nausicaa aged up and I am thrilled.
Is she cute or is she cute? She has a great personality, too: Virgo, 10/0/9/5/10. Maxed Neat, Shy, and Nice, Active, and medium playful. I'll be interested to see what aspiration she rolls. I may let Ulysses have another alien baby, too, since I'd like to see what some of the other ones might look like. But I have to wait till he can go to work and get permaplat, and Achilles has been doing at least 80% of the work. I'll have to figure out some way that Ulysses can teach her at least some of her toddler skills, because he'll be heartbroken if Achilles does it all.
Finally, some pictures from my garden:
I'm especially proud of my attack jasmine. If you look closely, you can see that it's invaded that ugly tree behind the wall.
Have a nice weekend, everybody!
