My Love

Nicole and I have discussed our dreams and compared them, they were so similar. It seemed almost like a prophecy, a prophecy of doom. The dreams tell of a rising flood, that Apple Valley will be covered with water and exist no more, but there's more, it's not the end, only the beginning.

Then it happened! Our dreams came true and Apple Valley flooded beyond existance. Wow!

Grey Sims and Vacation

I arranged for a vacation package for the Grey Sims Society. For $2000 we will travel to Kimikura and stay at a very nice hotel resort. I had WTG develop a travel program for us and Apple Valley Charter Planes altered it for Kimikura.

Program day 3

10 AM, Check out. Say goodbye to your new friends!

I must present it at the next meeting.

EDIT: Stupid stupid hood council! They say that the Grey Sims is only for retired elders and since no sim meets the criteria, we must disband!!!

Granddaughter

My granddaughter is so smart, if you could see her intelligence, it would radiate like the sun. She picks up on things rather quickly, already her blocks are much too easy for her and she's playing very simple songs on her keyboard. All by herself! She'll be a smart one, for sure!

Working

I have a job, I feel like a failure, but mother said that it is important for me to work outside the home as a teen to prepare for working within the home as an adult.

I know that it's mostly because we need the simoleans, but I don't like it.

I'm a server and I can't serve! I get the orders confused, drop plates on the customers and come home smelling like spices.

Dating

I'm not sure I'm up for this whole dating thing. Tobi and I went skating, which was awesome, I loved racing around the rink-even though I fell several times.

However, after skating-he wanted to slow dance-yuck. I couldn't stand having his hands on me and he kept trying to get closer to me.

It's not that he's not a great guy, but...well...he's a guy. I'm not sure that I'm too much into guys if you know what I mean. I wonder how I could tell him that-gee, I'm not too much into you right now since, well, you're a guy.

I got a new job, no more pumping gas downtown. I now work in the Apple Valley Welcome Center's Gift Shop. I'm a cashier and when I become an adult, I will start leading tours.

Verde

Little Verde will soon have a new sibling. I'm not showing yet, but I can feel it, especially with my visits to the bathroom. I am pregnant. I feel the new life within me.

I browsed around the Toy Shoppe for something for my son and also something for the new baby. I am excited, I love children and my life is shaping out to be a bit better than I thought it would be.

Sweet Marilyn...or not?

I kissed Marilyn, finally. However she ran home quickly afterwards. I'm not sure if she likes me, I wish she would be straight forward and say that she does or doesn't. I don't like being led around on a lease, waiting and hoping.

Little Shop

The Toy Shoppe is booming! We recieved a Best of the Best Award! I must say a lot of my ideas are awesome!

We now sell toys and nursery items! I ordered the new shipment of dolls and am negogiating a contract with the Power Bears book series to get the bears and the books into the store. That would be a great way to get more customers!

Scale Back

I am trying to get a bit more toned. It is depressing seeing my body on the tabloids and not looking the best that I could. I know I'm not famous, but my husband is and often there are award shows to attend and such.

Greetings

I went to visit my friend, Tatiana, today. She seems so happy. Her career is going well, I wonder if I should have stayed in the industry, but no, I like my life now.

We now have the twins from Simmerville and they are...interesting to say the least. Faith has been playing with them and showing them all around the hood, the twins and Faith are the same age so it looks like there will be lots of triple birthday parties.

My Goal

I have graduated and am now working towards my goals. There are ten simdays until the hood council is up for re-election. I will focus on building my skills and network and making strides in the downtown law office (Stern & Clerks). I doubt that any other resident will run against me, but I must be prepared anyhow. I wonder who will run for the Community Director seat?

Nite Out

Went out tonight to visit Tiki Joe's, I was a secret reporter for the newspaper. Wait until you see my article! It was nice getting a free meal though.

My Brother's Child

Astute is so much like my brother. He looks like him and even snores like him! I hate that Astaire is no longer with us, that stupid bus accident and all Astute recieved was a measly sum of simoleans. Not even enough for a college education if he desired. He is very much like my brother, he loves sports and always wants to play catch and run and is very active. Maybe he'll be a athlete as well.

Eating for Two...?

We're trying to get pregnant. As a result, I want to eat better and live better, so I went to buy some organic produce from the market. When I get pregnant, I wonder what we will have? My sister, Jodi, had twins. Mom and dad's first grandchildren. Now maybe I'll be next to have children.

Almost

Rebecca is almost ready to take over the shop, I have to teach her some more skills, but then she can take over ownership and I will step back into more crafting.

Right now she sells to customers and is making management decisions, while Ajani mans the register and creates the robots and I still create the toys. I think she will do well.

My Growing Family

Sandy and I can not wait to welcome our new little one, until then we're trying to spend extra time with S'Ahmisa to let her know that she's loved very very much. Teaching her how to walk will make things much easier once the baby arrives.

My Wife and Family

The season has been very nice and warm, so we are eating outside more often. Grilling fish and hot dogs and sometimes ribs for lunch and dinner. Talking about the future, the past and the present.

Talking about the sky and the moons and the stars. Simply listening to the songbirds and wind.

Little Family

Astute and Thomasina are so excited about "big kid" school. Clark thinks that we should buy them special backpacks for the new start, I think a new outfit will suffice, but we will see what happens. Especially with money being a little tight.

I wonder what the future holds for our family. Sometimes I wish I could see the future, look into that eye that sees beyond this simday. It's just something I like to think of when sipping coffee or during carpool.

Future Homemakers

I turned it over to Carmela today. We had a homemaker's outing to celebrate. The group went to the Farmer's Market for organic produce and then to the park for fishing and picnics.

I annouced that Carmela would be the new leader of the group and everysim agreed that it was a good desicion. Especially with her new pregnancy and the changes that she plans to make at her own home. Such a wonderful young sim. She will do well.

I am content and ready for elderhood to come.

Date

Marilyn and I went out on a date. We went to Tiki Joe's for skating and pizza. Well, they were sold out of pizza so we simply skated.

She confuses me to say the least. I mean, one minute I think she likes me and the next she's pulling away from me. She wants to cuddle and slow dance, but she doesn't want to dance close.
