Some of you have seen these before, but for those that haven't, I made some elder male outfits for ndainye a while back. I figured that I'd share them with everyone else, so they're now up on my Dreamwidth.

I really didn't mean for my last post to be a drive-by waving. I guess I was a little premature in my greeting, since I didn't wait for my kids to go back to school so I'd have time to respond properly and start posting again. But THANK YOU to everyone that welcomed me back. You really know how to make a girl feel missed. :) I missed being around, too.

So summer is winding down and I'm feeling the urge to get back into the swing of things around here. I'll eventually post more about what I've been doing the past couple of months and why I disappeared, but for now, I just wanted to say hi and that I've missed everyone. So...how've you been?

I am sorry that I haven't been around much lately. I've been feeling very bleh about the world in general for the past 2 or 3 weeks. Basically I've been reading books and making cc. I know I've been flaky with commenting on things lately, but I've been reading. I just haven't been chatty.

Anyway, Ori's sort-of recent epic hair retexture quest got me inspired to try my hand at it. Also because Djor's hair textures were pretty bad. So, here's my first attempt at retexturing:



More info and all that over on my Dreamwidth.

I just finished up a default set of katu's new skins.



Details here.

I don't visit Parsimonious as much as I used to since they started focusing on TS3. And to be honest, I never used that much of their stuff in the first place, since a lot of it is a little too, um, quirky for my game. But even their quirky stuff is always well-made and fun to look at, so it's still one of my favorite cc sites.

I noticed a couple of people in the community saying something about them having financial trouble. Apparently they're asking for people to complete a quick survey and somehow that might help. I don't know how that works, but the survey is really short, and in the spirit of being helpful, I thought I'd help pass the word along.

The survey is linked from their homepage.

I was really bored the other night. Usually for me, boredom just means some obsessive f-list refreshing, but this time it went to a new level and I ended up on Twitter.

I started digging around over there and I found a few people I know and began stalking following them. So if you have a random new follower, that might be me. Right now, I'm just pretty much talking to myself and simtopi , so if you're on twitter and you want to follow me that will be so cool I won't feel like such a dork yay!thanks, I'm here.

It's just a little late, but I just put up a new sim_spiration  drabble. For the first time in almost a year. *boggles*

This, or something a lot like it, will probably be in my next chapter. You can find it there or in my drabble collection post.

New chapter is up! Clicking the pic takes you there.

I am about 75% done with the update. I only have one short scene to stage and a little writing left. The writing, unfortunately, has been kind of slow going. I can't blame it on not having time. I've actually had plenty of time this past week. I've just been tired. Still, it's getting there. I expect I'll be finished sometime this week, which is close enough to my three week goal to keep me from kicking myself.

The teaser pic I posted at WordPress for the next chapter was just something I had on hand when I needed to put something up. So here's another (perhaps more interesting) one, that still doesn't give much away:



In other news, we have a new puppy, a miniature Dachsund. Well, she's almost a year old and she's ours on a trial basis--provided that she doesn't drive my husband and me insane. Her official name is Karamel Snuggle Bear because the people that had her 1. can't spell and 2. didn't care that I refuse to walk about my neighborhood calling for "Snuggle Bear." I just call her BB. My step daughter thought it would be funny to start calling her Butter Biscuit. It makes me laugh, so I'm going with it even though my husband and other daughter hate it. I'm sure her former owners will love this if we decide not to keep her. People who can't spell Caramel can't throw stones, though.

Anyway, I know a lot of you have cats, but in the interest of having this puppy stay here permanently, if anyone has any advice on how to train a dog out of excitement peeing, I'd love to hear it.
