sims 3, photos, reading, etc

I’ve been reading Tim Gunn’s “Gunn’s Golden Rules” this week, I got it for Christmas and it’s really good. I actually broke out the highlighter and have been highlighting parts I like, so I can post some of my fav quotes here when I’m done.

In my office I’ve been planning on having a little collage of some of my fav costume pics. I’ve got a fair number of frames (some of them need to be painted still tho) so yesterday I printed out some of my pics to try to figure out which ones I want to use. I put some of them in frames last night, and in doing so pulled the fingernail on my index finger out of my nail bed about halfway down. OMG it hurt. (I was trying to push the little metal tab over so I could take the back off one of the frames. it wouldn’t move.) But anyway – I think I’m going to have to grab a few more frames. I need to get some of the art Chase got for me for christmas in their frames so I can see if maybe I have any leftover for the costume pics.

Been playing Sims 3. Right now I’m playing these families:
1. Doctor Who & Rose. Rose works part time in the spa and comes home and writes Sci-Fi novels. The Doctor sits around and reads all day – so far he’s mastered 3 skills and working on more. They’re really kind of boring right now.

2. X-Men Family. Cyclops, Jean Grey, Gambit, Rogue, Wolverine, Storm, Psylocke and… Magneto. Magneto was supposed to be Professor X, but for some reason they don’t have a completely bald head?? So he became Magneto, which was actually more fun because I could make him have some fun traits, like insane. LOL. I haven’t played them much, because they’re a handful.

3. Luke, Leia and Han. Leia’s Governor and married to Han, who is a thief (can’t remember his exact thief job right now.) Luke is a Sous Chief who is also into gardening. When they moved into their house, it turned out it was built on a burial ground, so they’ve had a couple of ghosts. The ghostbuster came and got rid of one of them – but the other stayed and kept lurking around and bothering the three. Well Luke started hanging out with her and eventually it turned romantic. I finally had to add her to my household just so I could kick her out, because she was driving me crazy. Luke & his ghost girlfriend… geez…
