Wow, long time no see! To all of my readers who've been with me since the beginning, I thank you for your love and support on my last update about my dad; and also for all the lovely messages I received. Sorry I dropped off the face of the sim planet without a word. My dad is doing much better, although it's been a long 2 months. He's finally back home and he looks much better. He should make a full recovery if we can keep him on the right track.

As for me, I'm ready to get back to this blog! I've got a Floosby update in the works. I sure do miss those crazy aliens. But for now, I want to introduce you to a new family that I'll be playing with from time to time. I just got TS3 Pets, so I had a little bit of fun yesterday with it!

Hey all. Just wanted to drop a quick note to tell you that I'm not gone! But here's why I've been quiet the last few days.

I had to rush my dad to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing on Wednesday. Turns out he's got blood clots in his lungs. They've been able to keep the blood clots from spreading so far, but he's still in the hospital and today he's doing a little worse than yesterday. So it's really touch and go right now. However, the doctors are confident that they can get him stabilized and send him home later this week. As I'm an only child and both of my parents are elderly, I spend the most of my time at the hospital right now. I just can't leave his side.

So, I might be quiet a bit longer. I've got pictures taken of the next Floosby update, but I haven't edited them yet. Generation 3 is turning out to take longer than I expected! There's at least 2 more updates for Palia's half of the challenge (because Palia and Turtle decided to throw me a curve ball in the last inning!) and then probably one for Ralter's half. Then I wanted to do a spares update that follows the 2 other G3 siblings. So this generation will be the longest one yet! I hope you don't mind.

I'll keep you updated and hopefully will be back to posting/playing again soon!

Hey there turkey-lurkeys. As you can see, I've been quiet for the last day or two which is very unusual! I've got lots of people coming in for Thanksgiving and big plans for the next few days. So chances are you won't see an update from me until after Thanksgiving (that is this coming Thursday for you non-Thanksgiving holiday-ers). I hope to catch up with all of your wonderful blogs and will comment sporadically here and there for the next few days!

Happy early-Thanksgiving!

The Generation 3 goals of the DitFT challenge call for the heiress to achieve all of the vacation memories. Since there are so many of them, I figured I'd just make a little checklist to make things easier...and to preserve my sanity. This post is all text, but maybe it will also help those of you who are working on this same challenge! You'll find the checklist under the cut.
