Working and Getting Older

2008-01-09T13:13:00.000-08:00

The Peacock-that's where I work now. O, poppycock! It's the same if you ask me, some new paint, new menu and new uniforms do not make a new place. Poppycock!

I'm Here!

2007-12-26T13:18:00.000-08:00

I'm a teen and I love it! I need a lover! Hihihi, mami and papi would die if they heard me...well, maybe not, they're pretty open minded about such things.

Life in General

2007-12-03T08:13:00.000-08:00

Adriana and I are restless, this hood isn't fulfilling us anymore. Now that we're elders we want something different, maybe like our good friends Elinor and Pablo. They went on a worldwide tour to spend thier last days. But Aztec is still a child, he'll be a teen this simday, but he still needs us here. Perhaps we could visit mom on the set of MMAM, Aztec could always opt to move back to Apple Valley once he becomes an adult.

Vacation

2007-10-02T07:57:00.000-07:00

Sage surprised me with a vacation-I later found out he won the vacation from the special contest. We traveled to Tiki Island and stayed on a cruise ship, very nice if I must say, but the buffet was lacking, so we ordered room service a lot. We did manage to get off the boat and travel around the island-even meeting a man who claimed to be a witch doctor-strange fellow.

Goodbye

2007-09-26T12:33:00.000-07:00

Rosemary has left to immigrate to another hood. I think she made the right choice, she was never destined for Apple Valley. On another note, I'm surprising Adriana Tierra with a trip to Tiki Island. It's hard keeping it a surprise!

O! I got the job at the bank! I'm moving on up! There wasn't a pay increase, at least not yet-but I wear a suit and tie for work instead of the Apple Valley tee.

University

2007-09-18T06:45:00.000-07:00

These people asked me to join thier club, how could I say no when they kidnapped me and took me to thier secret hideaway! No I'm a member of the Secret Llama Society

Dad says mom isn't dealing with her age so well. Egh...hey! I saw a personal ad and I answered it. He seems very nice and he's very cute as well. I'm going to visit him when I graduate. Who knows what might happen! Perhaps I'll immigrate and we'll fall in love and start a life together!

Elderhood Sux

2007-09-07T06:52:00.000-07:00

Ahh, my skin winkles, my hair grey, I'm old-old elder woman!

Sage says it's not too bad, but what about parties? How can I live like this!!!

Ideas

2007-08-23T12:18:00.000-07:00

I have a meeting with Ayanna Kent to discuss some new options for The Centre's gift shop. I think we should offer postcards (I even found a nice vendor to provide the postcards http://www.simsconnection.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1705&Itemid=86 ), maps of the hood and maybe even a book about the history of the hood. I guess most of the ideas need to be sent to the Historical Society so they can start work on it.

Working

2007-08-12T11:38:00.000-07:00

Work at Tati's is going well, great in fact. I'm always busy and the line is always long for a table. Sometimes I get tips to let some customers sit before others. Plus, Tatiana said that if I keep this up I'll earn a raise. I hope so, a raise would be nice.

Sunny Days

2007-07-22T07:01:00.000-07:00

Rosemary has a lot on her mind, she's been questioning Sage and I both about marriage and love and relationship and if that's the end to everything-get married, have babies. She wants to know if there's another path to fulfillment. Does she have to fall in love with a sim? Are relationships neccessary...I wonder why my daughter thinks such heavy thoughts.

College

2007-07-20T07:02:00.000-07:00

I'm going to university soon, my bff Rebecca is going to enroll the same time as me, we'll be freshmen together! Why isn't it freshwomen? Hmmm...

We might be roommates, we're going to request to do so. I'm excited, I've actually been having dreams about becoming a doctor...I wonder if I should persue that dream? Maybe I just ate too many bowls of chili before bed.

Marriage?

2007-07-17T07:02:00.000-07:00

Rosemary keeps asking me about marriage and if it's worth it. I try to be honest and let her know that she must give it her all, but sometimes marriages don't work out. She finally declared that she doesn't want to get married and have children. That she wants a different path in her life. I told her to follow her dreams...but I must wonder...what are they?

This is an old photo of us at the park before I turned elder.

Fishing

2007-07-15T07:05:00.000-07:00

Right before my elder birthday we went to the park and fished. It was nice being with the family again, I can't believe I'm an elder, Adriana Tierra is right behind me, she doesn't want to grow old, but being an elder doesn't mean retirement homes and prune juice, no! We can still go out dancing and be cool elders!

Travel

2007-07-05T14:14:00.000-07:00

Should the family go on a trip? A vacation of sorts? I am getting restless, and we're not getting younger, in fact elderhood is just simdays away!

Rosemary is getting older, uni bound, and Aztec is a handful. Sigh...sometimes I wish things were more exciting, but nooo, I wake up, go to work, seat patrons all day, come home, see Sage. *sigh* we haven't woohoo'd in ages!

Working

2007-06-21T07:48:00.000-07:00

This new job is not all bad..., except for the dorkey uniforms. Ayanna promised that we would get new uniforms, tees more like the teddy bears we sell.

Thankfully I have more influence with the Welcome Center and Gift Shop. I can give opinions about what products I think we should introduce, getting more visitors to the center and I even help lost tourists find thier way. That would be nice: maps, we could sell maps of the hood. I'll have to tell Ayanna.

Pavilion

2007-06-18T09:32:00.000-07:00

Visited the pavilion today, not sure why. I was taking a walk and decided to watch some skating and have a cup of espresso. Had a nice talk with Gretta about the new women in the hood, though they're not so new anymore. I heard that one is getting married in fact.

Yep, I'm Hired!

2007-06-11T07:31:00.000-07:00

I decided to give it a go, why not help the hood and work at The Centre instead of that long commute to the city each day. I can now walk to work!

I am the cashier at the Welcome Center and Gift Shop. I ring up customers and sometimes help them find something to do in the hood. I wonder if we'll be getting lots of visitors for the Food Expo?

What's Out There?

2007-06-08T14:13:00.000-07:00

What's out there? Beyond the borders of Apple Valley? There's a whole new world waiting to be explored.

Spulunk vs Register

2007-05-31T08:22:00.000-07:00

The hood council has a opening for a cashier at the hood's gift shop and welcome center. I have the skills and to be honest, spulunking is getting hard on my body, especially with elderhood kissing my doorstep. I'd be a hood employee and would meet new sims and visitors. Perhaps I will apply.

New Job...Again

2007-05-16T13:24:00.000-07:00

I am now the host at Tati's, a much better place to work if I do say so myself. Thankfully Tatiana transfered me to the new place and I love meeting customers there and speaking spanish to them. Sage decided to switch careers...again and he's now working as an ambassador's intern. I think he's too old for such things. We're almost elders!

What's the Big Deal

2007-05-08T13:39:00.000-07:00

You would think that mami and papi would be happy for me, but noooo, not at all. I want to be an architect, build houses and design rooms. Mami wants me to be a beautician, papi wants me to go on commercials. I like art and designing. In fact, the hood council is going to let me design a backyard for the Food Expo. I need to study some more art design. I have to submit my design proposal by the end of this simweek. Hopefully I can do it. I would have a budget of $1000 and a backyard to design. Yipers!

New Job

2007-04-26T11:40:00.000-07:00

I'm a host at Euphoria. It's ok, the uniforms are ok. I wish I were a host at Tati's, the uniforms are much better. Cute slinky black pencil skirts and gold borcade tops. Very nice. Euphoria has these white sweater dresses-not too great on my body and the shoes suck! I told Tatiana that I want to transfer to Tati's, but she said that she needs me at Euphoria at the moment and that on the next simday I can transfer.

Sage hasn't decided if he will apply for a local business or get a job downtown...maybe leading tours. When we used to own the beauty salon, things were great. Maybe we'll go back into that business...maybe not, it was hard work.

Rosemary...I don't understand teenagers.

Aztec...I don't resent him anymore for being a "surprise", but it's not as fun as it used to be. We were about to get rid of our only child and finally have an empty house again...but now...

*sigh*

Our Family

2007-04-03T07:38:00.000-07:00

Our family, so sweet and cuddly. Like bears in the winter and flowers in the spring. It's I (Sage) and my wife Adriana Tierra. Our oldest daughter and recently passed her driver's test make-up wearing teenager now, is Rosemary and our youngest tot is only...a tot, Aztec.

Mom is still on Make Me a Model, which is strange since we are still aging here in Apple Valley and she...well, she seems ageless on the show. I wonder if she will return home or if she will pursue a career elsewhere.
