It’s lottery day. I shouldn’t take it seriously, but somebody has to win it, right? I purchase a ticket just for fun, then go down to the kitchen for breakfast. Mase is sitting there working on his homework. Kai: Why are you just now doing your homework? Mason: I was…
My Sims Love Affair
Our family and friends have been waiting around long enough. It’s time to serve the drinks and call everyone over for food. I lead the charge by grabbing a plate and sitting at the table. Mo goes outside to gather Dray and Mabel. Drake: *to Mo* Mr. Crews, I don’t…
Despite today being a day for celebration, the work on the farm never stops. My first task is caring for Cocoa Puffs, but a sudden stray kick from the cow leads to an entire bucket of spilled milk. It’s upsetting to lose so much of it, but Cocoa Puffs still…
Today is my birthday – the day I become an elder, and I’m feeling some kind of way about it. I’m beginning to understand how ma felt on her elder birthday. All I can think about are all the things I’ve never had the opportunity to do, and I feel…
