@PeregrineTook : But he does make such lovely nooboos. And really, he is a pretty good husband, once you get the ladies out of his life. I don't always use different hair styles but she was such a pretty Sim, but sheer happenstance, that I got carried away.

Chapter 7. Love Lost?
Amanda was a bit devastated. Here she had the towns best romantic hero at her finger tips, and what did she do? Ran off to work!! Priorities definitely need sorting out. It was just too much for one gal to take in. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
W: Come on girl, no need to hit the sauce. Get a grip! It's early days yet, still plenty of great guys roaming around. There's Johnny Zest, I saw how he's been drooling over you, and then there's Paolo and a ton of other guys. You and your eyelashes can get whomever you want.
Amanda: Thanks W. I just feel like such a derp. Kind of like the waitresses that always drop the food, ya know? Here I had the best dish on my plate and....boom!, dropped it.
W: Look, you might have made a wise choice. After all, you'd only been at work one day. One day, for crying out loud! Of course you had to show up and on time too. Promotions are where it's at if you're going to max out that career.
Amanda: Yeah, you're right as usual. Well, a chef's day is never done. Better make tomorrow's menu.
And with that she cooked and cooked until, finally having talked herself around, off she went to bed. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Amanda: Ok, self. You got it worked out and it seems like there is just too much work. It's all we do here. Like this nasty toilet, it needs a good scrubbing out. No one it needed repairs! Ah well, one more skill for me to master.

Amanda: Kelly! Lyle! Dylan! Time for a break, you guys! Time for some fishy fun! I heard there is this great spot where you can get all kinds of really cool fish. You up for it? It's magic!
(Joint distant shouts and mumblings): Yes mam! (Sheesh. What's she got going for us now?) (I don't know but she was pretty bummed last night) (Yeah. Definitely not in tune with her cheerful nature.)
Calling up an uber, they managed to squeeze everyone in and off they went. The day was as lovely as you could ever want. All the spring blossoms were wafting their scent, not to mention their pollen into the air. The breeze was just cool enough with the sun, finally, shining down on them. Our intrepid adventurers were soon at their destination.......Dylan: Dudes! Check out the river! Man I have never seen the fish biting so well. I'm going to catch me some big ones!
Kelly: Did you ever notice how Dylan is all about the fish?
Lyle: Shhhh, let's just go for it. What have we got to lose? Everyone has a day off today let's make the most of it.
Kelly: Yeah, sure. Day off. Right. And why are we fishing? Hellooo! Angel fish!
Ambrosia! Did you forget? (sighs) All right, at least it's fun.
Meanwhile, Amanda has spotted a very interesting tree...... [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Amanda: W is this the one? I mean, it's rather nice but how in the world is it going to take me to this "special place" ? I'd hate to disappoint.
W: Just give it a shot. What have you got to lose? (Always questioning my wisdom! Honestly, some Sims just don't respect their Watchers!)
The tree seemed a bit thirsty, so with nothing to lose, Amanda gave it some water and conversed about how deep her roots were and how beautiful her leaves..... she followed the opening down the path to The Glade. It was as lovely as she had heard, but after calling her guys down to join her, she discovered she had forgotten one itsy bitsy but ever so crucial thing......and off she ran to work again!

Kelly: Well, you gotta hand it to her! Definitely sorting out her priorities!
Lyle: Hey let's not knock it! This really is a cool place. You're going to be able to get so many plants here and tons of fish. Looks like we're the only ones here so let's make the most of it.
Dylan: Dude's, I'm gonna go check out that lake. I think it's actually the source of most of the rivers in town. Must be some whoppers in it.....................
DUDES! This is bloody awesome! I caught a tree fish!.......and ........ oh my goodness! An angler fish! Uh...........guys? There is something kind of creepy watching us........

That had rather put a whole new meaning on "magical place" so they headed back to home. Nothing like fishing.....especially where it's safe. And with that in mind, we'll leave Dylan and the boys doing what they all do best.... [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Have a great day now!
