Sick of Winter
Ugh! I'm sick of winter already and it's only December. Only 3-5 more months of it. Actually, I'm just tired of having a Winter Weather Advisory, Winter Weather Warning, Wind Chill Warning, etc every other day. Winter started here Dec. 1 with our first "real" snowfall and we haven't seen the pavement since. Yep, another dumping tonight. I'm just all a flutter. (eyeroll) I don't like the ice, the slop, the piles and piles and piles and piles of white stuff.
If anyone out there wants a white Christmas you can have some delivered to your own yard for the reasonable price of $19.99. Yes, that's right! For under $20 you, yes YOU, can have your very own white Christmas. And right now you will get this special edition pile of yellow snow! Place it anywhere you put the other snow for a realistic and disgusting wildlife effect. Yes, you get the white snow plus the yellow snow bonus and we'll also throw in some rock salt so granny doesn't slip on the front walk on Christmas Day! And that's not all! No, if you order now we'll also throw in a lame Snuggie thing (I think I "invented" this when I was 4) for each member of the family. Please, let us choose the print and colors. We'll even throw a Snuggie in for Fido. No more chilly Labradoodles! Are you excited? I bet you're excited. Think of all those warm, fuzzy family memories you'll make this year when the kids go out to make snow angels, grandpa falls asleep in the recliner watching "A Christmas Story" in his hot pink leopard Snuggie, and aunt Rotilda makes her special roadkill pie for dessert! Order now before your white Christmas melts away!
Phew! I think I got it out of my system. Can ya tell I work in marketing? I hate marketing. It's just a bunch a lies piled on top of lies with visual aides. Don't believe a nugget of it. I do the visual aide part, not the lying. If that makes you feel better. I do have morals ya know. LOL
OK, so maybe you're wondering what I'm up to with sims. Or, perhaps you want something new for your sims. Well, work has been nuts. I've been working overtime and been in a bad mood for months and the holidays aren't making it any better. But I have started a new lot for Bridgeport and I've placed a clean copy of my Ayesleigh lot in a new hood to make it over. I promised a makeover of it ages ago. I might get to it someday. It'll be better than before so it will be worth having if you like the original.
I did something for the first time the other night. I woohoo'd in a sarcophagus! Well, I didn't woohoo. My sims did. It never occurred to me that sims could woohoo in... that. I don't usually take couples into tombs either so the option was never there. So just because I can and the option was there and I'll likely never do a duo tomb again, I had my sims check it out. Talk about morbid. That's just... wrong. So very wrong. Ahem, anyway, the couple I took were in Egypt. The girl had the want and they both have the get married want so I figured it was time to propose first. They're getting ahead of me. Darn sims. I rarely go to Egypt so off they went and after he got done proposing in the Market they went for a dip in the Market's fountain, in the buff. Honestly people, there were sims shopping and gawking. I suppose being proposed to is a good enough reason to strip down and do something stupid, but really, in the fountain? I know it's hot, but... is that really necessary? I'm such a prude. Of course I have pictures of all this but don't have them posted. I'm so bad about sharing.
So... anyway... maybe I'll get a snow day from work tomorrow (I work at a college. It's a nice perk.) and make some progress on lots, but... Mother Nature hasn't favored me yet this season so I won't hold my breath. Hope you enjoyed my story and I'm sure I'll be back with more.
