• November 13, 2013 •

Good morning! Perfect day yesterday! :) I had breakfast sausage, cleaned the house, sent the grocery list to hubby, cleared out my iCloud account e-mail, took the dogs out, had a quick game of Pyramid Solitaire, made wrapped hot dogs for lunch, & then turned the heat of for the year, put a log in the fire (2nd pic) & settled down on the sofa & worked on my Brites Bavarian Crochet Afghan (3rd pic). Yesterday's Sims game was Weathersfield & my Sim twins Peter & Piper both aged up into young adults, got married, & are expecting a
child. Peter married Maggie & Piper married Barrington. This morning I took the dogs out & loaded up Beechwood Victorian. My Sim Liz has a lifetime wish to be a gold-digger, which means her only goal in life is to marry rich & outlive her spouse. She needs to find a rich old man who lives alone so he can sell off his house & the money comes with him into her household. Then he needs to die. Sounds horrible, doesn't it? It's one of the lifetime wishes that aren't so nice.

As the holidays approach, a friend may recommend a diet. If it makes you walk funny, go back to your regular routine.

Buy a guide to the stars & spend an hour at night looking up & identifying what's overhead. Don't forget a comfy blanket to stretch out on.

China spans more than 3kmiles but has only 1 time zone.

Good news & some bad news today. The bad news is, the mortgage rates. Did  you see what they are according to today's paper? The main banks raised the interest rate - what is it now? 17% for a home mortgage? The good news ... $50k homes are still $500k.
