Good morning! Yesterday was a surprise day off & I got to work on my new favorite knit project, the Entrelac knit afghan (2nd pic). I started out w/ cleaning the house, then 40 minutes on the treadmill, got the mail, tried to go to work but they were closed ... 2 in the afternoon & the place was deserted. WTH? No wonder I'm not making any money. I've gotten there between noon & 1 & the boss' side was open, but the 2nd door, where my booth was, has been notoriously closed ... until I get there & THEN they open it up for the day. Then yesterday the place was completely locked down & closed, so I give up. I've put a LOT of time & effort into this in hopes of making some money, but I can't do that if my side (or the whole place) is closed all the time. I'm paying rent which was for a set amount of hours, but we're not even close. Since I have all
the tables & clothing racks, & Avon catalogs, & stock ... I think it's time to seek out another consignment shop. One that's open when they're supposed to be. Until then, I'm back to crafting in the afternoons around my housecleaning, workout, transportation job, & mom taxi. Wow did I miss crocheting & knitting! You have no idea. After I got back from the booth (which was closed), I took the dogs out, had lunch, went through & sorted my PDF file collection, cleaned the stovetop, & then worked on my entrelac knitting. Don't you just love that pattern? Like Bavarian crochet, it LOOKS like it's little individual squares, but it isn't, it's all done in 1 piece. I love the entrelac because it looks like a basketweave. Very clever pattern & a lot easier than I expected. Yesterday's Sims game was the Graveyard job. My Sim Daniel has been taking care of their baby daughter Christine (2nd gen) & just chillin' out around the house & learning new skills to pass the time. This morning I took the dogs out & then headed off to work at my transportation assistant job. Today's Sims game is the Nectar Maker career. My Sim Tony is currently in the university towards a science & medicine degree.

Join Barry as he breaks in to a secret laboratory to commandeer the experimental jetpacks from the clutches of science evildoers. After lift-off, simply touch the screen to ascend and release to descend, raining bullets, bubbles, rainbows and lasers downwards as you fly towards higher and higher scores!
You'll start off with the legendary Machine Gun Jetpack to scatter the evil scientists, but throughout each game you'll collect coins and complete missions to earn cash and buy new gear in The Stash! Pick your favorite jetpack, snazzy outfit and stock up on items then get back out there for more action!
Keen reflexes are your best weapon to avoid the obstacles in your path. These include lasers, electricity fields and even guided missiles, but thankfully this is a top secret lab - there will be even more goodies to pick up and help Barry along the way. Stay out of harm and you'll reach massive scores, unlock Achievements and beat your friends on the online leaderboards!
Get a boost of speed and power using the Lil' Stomper, Profit Bird and Crazy Freaking Teleporter, just a selection of the vehicles pickups available - all playable with one touch controls. You can even splash out and upgrade the vehicles with coin magnets or shiny gold plating for that bonus style factor!
Stay alive, get funky and lose yourself in Jetpack Joyride. There's so much to see and do, all the time in the world and more than enough jetpacks! As always, Barry Steakfries will provide!
