Geeks

Hugo’s been able to skyrocket to a full-time, professional gamer. This does mean tremendous amounts of time on the computer, but I mean, I’m not one to talk. And I’m so happy he gets to work on what he’s passionate about.

“STREAM AT GEEKCON WITH MY WIFE’S GRANDMOTHER” racked in a lot of viewers.

To be fair Grandma is a badass gamer. She beat both of us at the Ultimate Gaming Test, and is actually starting to draw a small crowd to her.

Disheartened, Hugo and I decide to just go work on the rocketships. 

Steamy Waters

How we never heard of the secret parties that happen some nights at the bluffs while we were teens is a mystery.

But we know about them now, so on one such night, the six of us, the Rascals all together again, we head to Windenburg and jump around to the music. Lasers at a historical ruins site is everything I never knew I wanted to see.

If you had told me about this night three years ago, I would have been hyped, shocked, and jealous of my future self.

Who is this person that I keep running into? I try to engage a conversation with her, but she doesn’t speak to me. Or anyone else. I feel like she’s not with her usual crowd tonight.

Night bath! I hog the diving spot again.

You know what’s better than a regular night bath?

Night skinny dipping.

It does give us some ideas…

There’s a party in a background, but Hugo and I find interest in another kind of party.

Thank Plumbob for the lush vegetation at the bluffs.

Now to get back to our clothes discretely.

Basketball in the Spice District

On a sunny afternoon, I drag Hugo outside of his gaming chair, and with total disregard for his “BUT MY STREAM SCHEDULE” cries, I drag his butt downstairs and challenge him to a basketball match.

‘Ready, darling?’

‘For Sports? Never! :)’

Truth is we both suck. I’m more in shape than my husband, but my aim is worse than his.

There’s the dude from the other day again! I forgot during the festival but today I absolutely tip him.

Hugo found comfort food. I found someone to make fun of my outfit.Thanks Charlotte, you’re my best friend as well.

Idea in Progress

I have this sensational idea, so I break out the saw and the tools, and my electronics knowledge from high school, and I get working on my project. The sun is setting over San Myshuno and the view is stunning.

It’s the perfect atmosphere to get inspired.

Laundry Day

It’s easier to find the motivation to do your laundry when your laundry room no longer looks like a dump.

And let’s be honest, we made the laundry room pretty darn cute.

The sound of the washing machine is loud, but the right kind of monotonous, and it covers every other outside sound. This along with the soft smell of soaps drives me to the laundry room when I want a peaceful place to think.

I usually read a book on top of the vibrating machine.

Today though, even though I did take one, my mind is elsewhere. It’s boiling with ideas.

Yoga Together

After days watching me do Yoga five hours a day, I’m proud to say that Hugo’s interest was sufficiently piqued to try and join my morning practice.

Granted, he’s not the flexible sim in existence. His downward dog leaves room for improvement, but at least he’s started, and that’s the most important step ❤

He’s got impossible core strength though. I have no idea how. The man’s a gamer, not a bodybuilder.

Honeymoon (Day 3!)

image

It’s already our last day in Granite Falls.

I do my morning yoga under Hugo’s watchful eyes. Only when I’m done can he stop checking me out, and he goes fishing near the lake shore. I spend the rest of the morning perfecting my horseshoe-throwing with a new friend.

Then at the end of the afternoon, Hugo and I play cards on the porch, and basically make the best of the end of the trip.

We’re going back to San Myshuno relaxed and re-invigorated.

And quite possibly in love with Granite Falls. We already know we’ll be going back.

image

Yes, my new friend is the bear, and he’s damn good at horseshoe-throwing.

image

But you won’t see me give the game up.

image

The Granite Falls views are so very stunning.

image

Hugo crushed me at cards. I’m not salty, you’re salty.

image

Again, honeymoon.

image

The sun, the horseshoes, the fishing, the nature yoga, I’ll miss all right.

But these baths? I’ll miss them the most.

Honeymoon (Day 2!)

image

Hugo found a hobby. I was worried he would wilt and wither away from the computers, but he’s taken a liking to fishing, and he spends his second day trying to get us a very, very fresh lunch. I move my yoga mat to do my sun salutations next to him.

We don’t speak at all: he doesn’t want to bother the fish, I’m focusing on my breath. But just doing our thing next to each other has us happy.

Also, I do sneak some looks at him because watching a city boy struggle with a fishing cane is amazing.

image

Don’t mind the bear in the back, Azalea. Focus on your Warrior One.

image

… It’s not a real bear anyways.

image

Playing in the bath like a kid — I love these bath bombs too much.

image

Hugo walks into the bathroom — he has an idea in mind and it’s not the bath bombs.

image

I mean, it is our honeymoon…

image

The Granite Falls nights are a little chilly. Full jammies it is.

Happy Pride Month!

image

Hey guys!

So I wanted to make one pretty edit to celebrate Pride Month, but you know what, since I made about three thousand, I figured I might as well share my favorites with you all 🙂

I’m using the one above a wallpaper because I’m secretly in love with Shanna, but I’ve been considering making them rotate!

Anyways, Happy Pride Month to you wonderful simmers! Never forget you’re unique, and beautiful, and creative, and the world wouldn’t be the same without the color you bring to it, your very own shade.

Keep being proud!

Honeymoon

For our honeymoon, we flee the city to Granite Falls. Or cities, in general. San Myshuno is a great place, but everyone needs to escape the pollution and noise and concrete every once in a while.

Since we are us, we start socializing as soon as we get there, and by the first night we’ve already organized a barbecue around the campfire. I go ahead and tell scary stories that scare nobody.

I’m thrilled at the idea of three days doing yoga in nature.

The forest guard that guided us to our lodge stays to eat with us at noon. She tells us fun Granite Falls anecdotes.

Roasting marshmallows with three neighbors whose name we’ll probably quickly forget.

Hugo is in charge of the cooking. It’s probably wiser.

“And then the woman SCREAMED! IT WAS VLADISLAUS STRAUD!”

The nights get dark here. In San Myshuno there’s always some light pollution to make the dark less dark.

We spend a good chunk of the night looking at the Milky Way.

They have some amazing bath oils at the lodge. Hugo and I spend our honeymoon taking turns in the bathtub.

Rose petals and green goo on my face, this is all perfect.
