Special thanks go to MINImike who has allowed me indefinite use of his laptop (mine wont run Sims2 anymore). A heartfelt thanks to all of the readers and fans. Comments are always appreciated. Thank you to all the readers and I want to let you know how much I appreciate all the comments. Sorry about how long it has taken to get this chapter written........I've been feeling real sore and tired & "blah", so I haven't been feeling up to SIM-ing.
Starting from now on THIS will be the new cover shot for Matt & Jenny; they're going to be changing outfits and so for now this is it. ;~) Matt: I'd better swim while it's still warm enough. Besides........it does feel awfully good to be in the water and more weightless. Matt: What a pretty day. It's so sunny out.......but I don't think that's going to last all day AND night. I hope I'm wrong. Not only do I hurt......but the rain blows so much debris in my otherwise clean pool. I just love swimming. It feels SO GOOD! Jenny: A bit of this and a bit of that.........makes it extra yummy for my Matt. Well.......not to mention me. Jenny: I'm going to have to clean that up. Preparing BBQ ribs sure can be messy. Jenny: You haveing a good swim honey(Q)
Matt: Yup. What are you cooking honey(Q)
Jenny: Surf & turf. Here's the turf......I just need to go into your room for the surf.
Matt: JENNY! What'd Bubbles ever do to you(Q)
Jenny: Eh.....you're right. That might detract from my made from scratch ribs.
Matt: Oh har dee har har. Jenny: Well I thought it was fairly funny.
(sizzling and crackling from the fire and the juice dripping off the ribs)
Matt: Holy cow! I can smell it all the way over here. Mmmmmm. Jenny: Well I'm glad you like it........cuz dinner is done. Jenny: I hope you like Ribs, baked beans, and potato salad. Matt: Sure do!
Jenny: Do you need any help getting out(Q)
Matt: No I'll be fine.
Jenny: OK. See you inside then. Matt: Oh boy oh boy oh boy........360's for joy. Jenny: Here ya go hun.
Matt: It smells delish!
Jenny: I'm glad
Matt: Another one of your Grammy's special dishes(Q)
JennY: Yeah she showed me how to make my own sauce when I was in Jurnior high. Matt: Must have made home-ec class a breeze.
Jenny: Actually it made the teacher upset with me.
Matt: Huh(Q) Why(Q)
Jenny: She didn't appreciate having a student who could cook better than her.
Matt: Well I LOVE that you know how to cook so well. I may gain a few pants sizes though.
Jenny: Hey speaking of clothes.........we'll be needing sweaters and coats for winter. I know winter is a ways off yet, but do you want to go shopping after dinner(Q)
Matt: Long way off huh(Q) Matt: I think it'll be here sooner than you think.
Jenny: Oh the cold weather is a long ways away.
Matt: Oh really (Q) Wanna bet(Q) Jenny: Uh...er....nah. I'll take your word for it. The last time I doubted you we got rained on leaving the library.
Matt: I'm thinking rain IS in the forecast. Jenny: But it's so sunny! I'm not doubting you. It's just hard to imagine the weather turning so quickly.
Matt: Oh well those late summer early fall thunderstorms........you know how they can just roll in. Matt: Mung gulp schump mmmm num neeyum
Jenny: Goodness sweetie. I'm glad you like them but come up for air. Jenny:Ya know if you don't want to go.......we could always do it some other day. Waite for a day when you think the weather will hold out the entire time.
Matt: Well I think I'll be OK. It was sunny all day........maybe we'll be back home before any foul weather hits. But I need to wash the chlorine off 1st. Matt: Ya know I'm glad that the Dr. visits will be down to a dull roar again. I worry sometimes that all these medical problems will be too depressing and drive you away. Jenny: That's not EVER going to happen. Jenny: I love you. And OK so we'll have a few medical issues most couples don't have to worry about. But no amount of health problems could ever make me not want to be with you. Jenny: I'm in love with YOU....NOT your health. Matt: You really are an amazing woman.
Jenny: No I'm not anything special......just your typical "girl next-door".
Matt: Well I sure wish I could have been YOUR next-door neighbor!
Jenny: Me too honey. I'd have loved to have met you sooner.
Matt: Well I'm just glad I WAS lucky enough to land you. You're one heck of a catch you know. Matt: And speaking of you being such a catch........I want my queen to have a castle.
Jenny: A castle(Q)
Matt: I know you've been kinda against the idea.......but I'd really like for us to have a larger place.
Jenny: Well.......you might be able to warm me up to the idea. I've been noticing how crowded the garage is.
Matt: A bigger home would give us more space. Jenny: But won't that take up ALL of your money(Q)
Matt: Well not all of it. This house would have to sell 1st......before we could buy a new home. But if we were to temporarily move into an apartment and put most of our stuff into storage.........we could do it.
Jenny: Would we make enough money to make it worthwhile(Q) Thats like moving twice! Jenny: Plus won't it be a lot of money in rent(Q)
Matt: Well inorder for a realestate agent to show off the house we need to have it available for showing. Do you want to have to worry about taking a nap & finding 1\2 a dozen people checking out our home(Q)
Jenny: Good point. Well how are we going to afford it(Q) Matt: I've got quite a few games sold. I get a cut of every game sold. Jenny: And that'll be enough(Q) It's going to take an awfull lot of games being bought to give US enough to buy a new house.
Matt: Well I've also got my art and my consulting work and not to mention there are speaking engagments I can do for a small fee as well. Those ribs were delicious honey!
Jenny: Thank you honey. So do you still want to go shopping or should we just save up(Q)
Matt: Nah. It's not like a few outfits will be the difference of wheter we get our new dream home or not. But I have to shower off the chlorine 1st.
Jenny: OK. Let me know if you need any help.
Matt: OK baby I will. While Jenny put the food away Matt used his new shower chair
(for anyone interested in getting it go visit tdyannd @ TSR) Matt: Oh yeah that feels good! I love the hot water hitting those sore joints......best thing in the world.........a nice HOT shower! Matt: Ready honey(Q) Jenny: You've got a sweater on. Are you feeling chills again(Q)
Matt: No I'm fine. I was just thinking it's getting to be a bit chilly out.
Jenny: Chilly(Q) It's a nice night out. It's just a little breeze.
Matt: Well......I'M cold.
Jenny: Well OK......but it really isn't all that cold out.
Matt: That's a matter of opinion dear. Matt: Do you know what you're looking for(Q)
Jenny: Not exactly.
Matt: Uh-oh. So do they have men's clothes too(Q)
Jenny: Uh-huh. Jenny: Here honey......this one is kinda heavy.
Matt: Thanks sweetheart. Matt: So what section 1st(Q)
Jenny: Well I dont' know. Let's just look around. Jenny: Excuse me miss. Do you have any fitting rooms that are large enough for my fiance to use in his wheelchair(Q)
Cashier: I don't think so ma'am. I think they're all ONE size.
Matt: Oh wonderful. Jenny: Well then how is he supposed to find out if the clothes fit(Q)
Cashier: I don't know ma'am. Matt: How about this then. Since it says you do not make refunds.......just make an exception for me. I'll have my fiance hold the clothes up to me.......but IF we get home and they aren't the proper size.......then you guys go ahead and refund me my money.
Cashier: I'll have to ask my manager. Continue to do your shoping and I'll see what they have to say about the idea. Jenny: Oooh this looks nice. Oh & I love this dress. Oh hey look Matt.......isn't this sweater cute(Q)
Matt: Yup sure is honey. Say uh.......we've been here for over an hour. We're going to have the store closing on us if we're not careful.
Jenny: Oh honey......that's silly! We'll be out of here in no time. Besides.....there is more than enough time to shop.
Matt: MORE than enough time huh(Q) Wanna bet(Q) 2hrs later
(over the intercom) : Attnetion shopers! Please make your final selections and make your way to the registars. Fashion Wave will close in 15 minutes.
Matt: See! I told ya we were going to run out of time.
Jenny: Well...... They just don't give a girl enough time to shop.
Matt: Honey........a WEEK wouldn't be enough time for YOU to shop.
Jenny: Pppppttttthhhh! Turd-butt!
Matt: Yup that's me......and proud of it. Everyone's favorite turd.
Jenny: Yeah well tell me what you think of this shirt turd-butt.
Matt: It's nice.
Jenny: I bet it'll look very nice with your black slacks. Matt: I think you're right. Are you done now(Q)
Jenny: Well I'm out of time if nothing else.
Matt: That's my little shop-aholic.
Jenny: I guess we'd better go pay for these and save the rest for another day.
Matt: You mean you're not done(Q)
Jenny: But I only found a couple of items.
Matt: Oh brother. Next time I think we'd better come in earlier AND I'd better bring a book or something.
Jenny: Oh ha ha ha. Very funny dear.
Matt: Who said anything about being funny(Q) Matt: DId the manager ever let you know if I could get my money back(Q)
Cashier: Yes sir.......she'll be over in a minute to discuss it with you.
Matt: Oh....OK.
Cashier: That will be $132.75 please.
Matt: Do you take "Ouch Express"Q
Jenny: Here you go. Fionna (the manager): I'm the manager of Fashion Wave. My cashier tells me you have a problem.
Matt: Yes I can't fit into the changing booths. So I'd like to know if things don't fit.......can I get my money back(Q)
Fionna: Well if you get the merchandise home and you find that they don't fit......bring them back for an exchange. We normally have a policy of "all sales final" but this is somewhat diffierent. My apologies for not having any changing booths large enough for you to use.
Matt: Well obviously I'd prefer to just be able to try them on, but thank you for at least coming to a comprimise with us.
Fionna: Make a notation in the books that Mr. Wheeler has special permission for an even exchange of merchandise.
Cashier: Yes Ma'am.
Fionna: Is there anything else I can do for you(Q)
Jenny: No that's it........thank you. Matt: I told you so.
Jenny: Yeah I know........I took longer than I thought I would.
Matt: Well there is THAT too.
Jenny: What do you mean "THAT too"(Q) Matt: Well yes you took longer than you planned at the store. But look at the sky and on the ground babe. What do you see(Q)
Jenny: Rain and puddles.
Matt: I tried to tell ya.
Jenny: Yeah I know you did. But at least we made it back before it got too bad.

(Matt & Jenny are going to try and change their clothes more often........like "real people". ;) This is the reason for the blue and pink flowers being the new cover.

Sorry this one took so long.
I just wasn't feeling all that great and so my creativity took a big nose dive. If I was a Sim and there was a creativity bar......it would have been in the orange leaning towards red. 
But hopefully the next one wont take nearly as long. 
Thank you to everyone for reading my story and a special thanks to all those who take the time to leave a comment.
