So... been awhile since I've had a presence on here. Mostly because the last several times I tried to update my blog my post got eaten by the techno monster out there or something. I gave up for awhile.

You might notice that I have another lot coming out soon. Yeah, believe it? Well, I quit my job of 11 years at the end of July so I have some free time right now. I'm not working at the moment. Not sure what I'll do. I hope to make a go as an independent graphic designer. Just trying to get my stuff in order to do it. Anyway, new lot due out the 31st and I'm working on another one.

I was playing RIFT for awhile. That took me away from sims. The summer didn't improve online gaming so I cancelled that sub the other day. It was fun for awhile, until all the kiddies signed on this summer. Now it's just annoying. So I'm happily spending some of my free time getting back into sims. I've got lots on the backburner. Stuff that has been bugging me for a long time and just never had the time or desire to fix the problems. My new lot, Rowen, is a good example of little irritants that finally got stamped out. It's an overhaul of my Teagan and Eamon lots. Just some little stuff I didn't like. It's also my first lot using CC. I used a lot of stuff from The Sims 3 Store. I have it. Why not? It'll just go poof if people don't have the stuff when they install the lot. And, this version is all pumped up with stuff from all the new EPs and stuff packs.

My next lot, or at least the one I'm dinking with right now, will be my first shot at a TSRAA lot. Should be a good lot when I'm done. After that I want to do some new lots. I still don't have my office organized so I have no clue where all my house plans are, but I've got the time now to clean it up so maybe it will get done once I'm tired of being a kid and playing with all my toys.

I'm loving unemployment. Such a nice break. I never took more than a day or two off at a time when I would take some time, but never anything to really get a break or relax. And I haven't been on vacation since I was a kid. I do hope to make it on my own though. I don't relish working for some snot-nosed, spoiled brat, witch again. Or really anyone.

Life sucks. Go play.
