Good afternoon! I made breakfast sausage yesterday, then cleaned the house, got the mail & went to work. I didn't get much done though, only got 1 item listed, but I did create an insert, ran to the post office & shipped out some items, picked up lunch ingredients at the grocery store since I was right next to it, started going through my stock to see what to list 1st & for how much, ran back into town again to drop off 

something for someone, spent a lot of time on the phone w/ several different people ... then it was lunch time. I took the dogs out & made myself a bologna sandwich, then it was back to work & instead of going back to work on my store, I ended up rearranging the back yard. (2nd & 3rd pics). I love it! Even others liked it! Everything looks great & now the swing & rocker face each other so you can sit outside under the covered porch in the shade & chat. There

are tables to sit your drinks, food, phone, etc. on. The grill is nearby, & so is an outdoor fridge. There's a dining room set out there too, so it's all the comforts of home, now inside AND out. Perfect for this beautiful fall weather! I'll be bringing the lamp inside during rainy weather though. :) Once I was done w/ my little outdoor oasis, I did some catalog shopping & bought a pattern for a beautiful entrelac hat for winter & some beautiful yarn to make it with! Then it was off to Taco Bell for dinner w/ hubby & to pick someone up from work, then we came home & I decided to try out Texas Hold 'em on Dish. Wouldn't you know it? It's the only app on Dish that isn't working. I called them this morning about it & they're looking into it for me. :) Yesterday's Sims game was LizC864 7 & my Sim Orlando is in the university towards a science degree & is working on his skills & going to classes. This morning I took the dogs out, updated my schedule for someone's work schedule & rides this week, called Dish about Texas Hold 'em, ran forgotten items to someone up in town, & loaded up the Graveyard Career in Sims. My Sim Benni went to the university on a distinguished communications award, graduated w/ an A, gained the bookworm trait, unlocked the video Game Developer career, & gained the irresistible trait. She's set & will continue to be very successful in life. My main Sim, Benni's husband Daniel, has been working at the graveyard & helping to raise their baby Christine who just aged up from a baby into a toddler. Now comes the training ... potty training, learning to talk & walk, learning some beginner skills through having books read to her.

Moon & stars are a mess right now & you're probably saying to yourself, "Houston, we have a problem." Your planets are in retrograde, & so is your career, bank account, love live, & gas tank. But don't worry, there's always vast opportunity as an Elvis impersonator or a wet T-shirt contestant.

Oldsmar, Florida:

Oldsmar is a rural city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. The population was 13,591 at the 2010 census.

Oldsmar's history dates to 1913 when automobile pioneer Ransom E. Olds purchased 37,541 acres (151.92 km²) of 

land by the northern part of Tampa Bay to establish "R. E. Olds-on-the-Bay". The name was later changed to Oldsmar, then to "Tampa Shores" in 1927, and finally back to Oldsmar in 1937. Ransom Olds named some of the original streets himself, such as Gim Gong Road. Currently Oldsmar's downtown is being developed which its promoters 

hope will bring back the "old Florida" feel to the city. Oldsmar celebrates its history every year with Oldsmar Days and Nights, where residents and visitors take part in parades, car shows (featuring the Oldsmobile) and carnival rides.
