Present and Unaccounted for

So, it is the ass crack of dawn and I need to leave for surgery in about 40 minutes, have not packed the bag I am supposed to take with me yet and what is my brain doing?

Insisting I write that scene for Pleasantries it has been tormenting me with all night instead of letting me sleep.

Months where trying to write was kind of like hitting myself in the head with a spiky stick. This morning my muse is running amok.

Go figure.

When we last checked in with the Murphy House Braden and Alexander stepped up their rivalry to punches flying, trading insults and the stealing of invisible newspapers. Nigel and Noe grew into teen hood and met their wives to be Wilhemina and Aisy. And Braden had words of encouragement for his children about winning this challenge.

Before we move on, I feel I should drop a warning in here for innuendo, a LOT of innuendo, nudity and sexual references.

And now we go to the chapel on the hill overlooking Pleasantview where a meeting of some import is about to take place.


( The Plot Thickens )

Last time at Harrell House 2 Beka started the week by miscarrying her first pregnancy. On a career front, Arron and Isiah both earned their gold badges (flower arranging and pottery respectively), Beka climbed the Architect ladder several rungs up but has not quite reached the top yet. To end the week the house was upgraded (in a big way) and Beka started pregnancy #2 at which point she aquired her new BFP (Best Friend for Pregnancy) in the form of Mr. Stinky the Snapdragon you can see in the picture up there.


( snaps and kitties and fire! )

Yup, I fell off the interweb again. Who is actually surprised by this? That is not to say that I have not been simming, I have, I even have RBPV updates. I have them. You do not 'cause ... well ... um ... yeah. I haven't felt like typing them up? That and I got caught up doing ... something else.

What something else? This something else. The irony there being I can't wear most of them due to multiple metal allergies. I can make 'em though!

In other news. I have surgery on Wednesday. Cyst is finally being removed! Yay! Maybe I can walk again? Possibly? Please? That is the hope anyway. After major abdominal surgery, 4 days at least in the hospital and then 6 weeks minimum recovery, I better be able to walk again! Or I'm gonna be pissed.

Oh and Mr. Lumpy is dying, or more specifically Mr. Lumpy is entirely dead on the inside and continues to shrink. More good news! The weird news (seriously, you KNEW there had to be a weird in here somewhere!) Mr. Lumpy is not a primary cancer. He spread from somewhere else. Where? No idea. They can't find anything anywhere. There are a few options (okay, more than a few) of things that were removed years and years and years ago like my incredibly large and rapidly changing birthmark that used to be above my left ear. At this point it is anyone's guess and they are all tired of guessing with me. Much investigation has turned up a collective shrug and I am not worried about it.

Also, a few weeks ago, someone left me a comment asking about the availability of Tybalt's birth mark. That has been found and is coming. The plan is to load my game here in a few minutes and get pics of that mark and the two others I made at the same time. Then I will get them up for download for you.

And that is about it! Pretty much a "Hi!!!!!! Still here!!!! Kinda fell off for a while and about to again due to upcoming ouchies! I will be back!"

I'm still alive! I swear and I do have updates coming. They got delayed by the pool and clearing the green out of the fish pond ... which is still green because I was lazy and did not clean the leaves out of it last fall.  :( WHich means I still have more cleaning to do.

So while I go out and mess around with pond scum, have a pic of Zin demanding cuddles and a kitten insisting she be included as well.



Yes, they do this all the time.

I am still a little annoyed with myself for loosing those pics, so I am taking a few minutes to talk about something that is not at all sims related.

Catching up with Preston, Amber and Vivian at their new home.


( It's pink! )

Soooo, I forgot that Preston and Amber were moving out when I started this round and have screwed up my numbering. Just pretend it was intentional when the next one is 6.9 k?


( Sim multiplier .. prepare to have your butt kicked )

Darius is getting something of an extreme start here. This doesn't even count as a box. More of a windbreak really.


( Amochan! You are going to want to look under here!! )
