 Once again I've fallen a bit out of this habit.  It's hard when it feels like I don't have an enormous amount to share.  I spent about a week doing almost nothing but play the sims.  I went and downloaded sims 3, just the basic game, no expansion packs.  And I had so much fun playing dollhouse. I made a sim me and a sim Zac and we had some sim kids.  And I accidentally played on stupid easy mode because I got both Sim Zac and Sim Jessica to the top of two career tracks, as well as raising three children to adulthood. and neither of them are very close at all to aging out of adulthood into "elderly" so that's fun.

Here you can see I've finished the bottoms of Pincer and Tauros.  I have started Goldeen and her evolutionary destiny, Seaking.  The entire time I was stitching on Goldeen, I had Jolene in my head, except it was Goldeen....
