House and Home

House and home are going much better-the botanical gardens was approved and now we're working on selecting plants and such, I have to find something else to do to occupy my time now that the girls are teens and Ginger wants to start cooking and cleaning. Maybe a small garden?

Divorce and Death

Dad is sad-my older brother Astaire divorced his wife and then died in a freak bus accident on route to his game. Poor daddy-

Doing Things

Presented a proposal to Ms. Sweeny concerning the petition for a botanical gardens. Hopefully it will go well. Now that the girls are teens and the house is smaller, I am able to spend less time cleaning and cooking and more time gardening. Matthew wants me to get a job, how could he even suggest such an idea. I belong at home! Focused on making the family happier and contributing to the community!

Finances

Things are better-our mortgage was refinanced and the job at the bank was taken...actually the current cashier from the Apple Valley Gift Shop took the job, now there's an opening for that...I don't know about that, I would have to restock as well as do the register, plus the pay may not be that much better-at least here, there's free coffee and dessert. Silas-the barista (or is it baristo?) left. He moved to another hood-he was also my neighbor and we carpooled to work together. I might sell the car, I could walk to work...maybe. I told Cassandra that if she wants to continue to stay at home, she might have to start a small garden or something to save money. Maybe she could get a job at the flower shop. Even if it's part-time, that would help.

Working Out

I've been gain weight...as a result my agent put me on a strict diet...exercise and eating right...actually eating less. I think that since I got my contract for Pahala Shore this season I've been depressed and disappointed, then grandmother's death, it was all too much and that strawberry cake was too yummy. Well, I refuse to get fat (fatter) and am working my butt off (hopefully).

Why Her?

I met Tobi Sweeny today, he's the dreamyest sim in the hood! But why did he talk to Marilyn all the time. I was sincerly upset. Instead of joining thier conversation I sipped coffee and waited for Hazel Starr to finish visiting with her friend...I wonder if I will ever find a guy for me?



O! I won a coupon for Dinner for Four $200 at Tati's during the Food Expo. I don't know what to do, there's five of us! Hazel Starr said that she might be too busy working to go, so it may be mother, father, Marilyn and I.

Hmmm

Hazel Starr took me and Ginger to Etta Leigh's house, well actually mother made her take us. I met Etta Leigh's little brother, Tobi. He's cute! We talked about sports and how he wants to become a police officer...I wonder if I would like to be police officer?
