Finally, there's snow in 90210

I started this game back in January and there was snow on the ground but that was ages ago and I don't remember what it looked like. I waited patiently as it snowed here and there but today, when I started my game...there was snow everywhere, just like Julie from Wildwood said..."snow will arrive on December 11".

 Snow in 90210 - so pretty!!!

 What's this? A snowball? What is Leesh to do with it?

After rolling the ball around in the snow...it keeps on getting bigger...what to do with it now? Can someone help Leesh? I am thinking maybe a snowman???

All paid off

Tom Nook can go suck an egg because Leesh has finally paid off her home loan. That big house of hers that she shares with Ross and Brody can now be called her own!

 

 

 

 

 

A short visit to Wildwood

Julie from Wildwood has been commenting on my blog for weeks now and we follow each other on Twitter. It's cool because she will tweet on Twitter when she's going to open her gates. Unforunately, it's never during a time when I can play wifi.  Finally today, she opened the gates of Wildwood so we can meet each other.

Within seconds of me entering Wildwood, Claire and Bonnie arrived. A full house.  I have to admit that I feel kinda old playing with teenagers but I was once a teen, although DS and wifi connections were not around. Tweeting with Julie is quite refreshing. She reminds me of my carefree days as a teen - just hanging out, shopping, going to movies, playing DS...oh wait, I still do all of that. Anyway, my point is, I felt awkward and thought it was wrong that I was playing with teens, but then I relaxed and began to understand that it's not bad at all.  No offense Julie and Claire.

So, back to my visit to Wildwood...here are some photos that I took:

In front of Julie's house - L to R: Leesh, Julie and Claire

 

Left room in Julie's house. It's quite interseting...a Super Mario theme? I didn't even know it existed.

 

 Julie is a hardcore Beatles fan. Her garden is a shrine to The Beatles. It's so cool. I have never seen anything like it. The tile of the photos are so life-like.

 

 I caught Bonnie and Claire sleeping in front of Julie's house.  I have to admit because I am meeting these three girls for the first time and being thrown into a full house wifi visit, I couldn't tell the girls apart. It took me a good couple of minutes to figure out who was who.

 

 Julie and I hanging out on her couch.  Classic theme in your main room...I have the classic theme in my right room.

 

Julie was digging through her dresser. She said she had a present for me and to meet her at the town hall.  She gave me a snowy shirt and two Jacob's ladder.  It's so thoughtful of her to give me these flowers after I told her that my town is no longer "perfect".

 

 Here is the backroom...Look at that cake and chocolate sitting on the desk...

 

 Upstairs room.  Pretty cool. It's almost like my beach-inspired theme.

 

 A birthday cake for me...how sweet of you!!!  My birthday is actually on the 8th, thanks for the early birthday cake and chocolate bar.

 

 After eating some cake, we noticed that Bonnie was still sleeping so Claire decided to hit Bonnie with her golden axe. I thought it was mean but it was actually quite funny.

 

 We took one last picture before I had to go.  See my new snowy shirt that Julie gave to me - isn't it pretty? It's so fitting because it's snowing in 90210.

 

One my way out of Wildwood but I had to take this last picture in front of the gates because look at all the pretty flowers.

Thanks again Julie for opening Wildwood's gates this evening. I am glad you did because I don't know when the timing would be right for us to be able to play.  It was certainly a pleasure to meet you and Claire. I hope to play again soon!

Is winter on its way???

Finally it started to snow in 90210. I was a bit jealous when I heard some towns were already getting some snow but yesterday when I started my game, there it was...snow falling. I can't wait for it to stick on the ground (only in AC:WW not real life).

Got me a golden axe

I think I have mentioned it before that I mainly play Animal Crossing to and from work. Playing on my commute gives me the chance to water flowers and sell some things before I fall asleep.  This morning, I found Pacal hanging out by the shoreline. Leesh immediately gave him the scallop she got from Tortimer, low and behold, Pascal gives Leesh a golden axe.  I should have asked for his pic!!! I am not even sure if it's possible to ask for it.

I plan to start this trading event all over again once Wendell comes into town. I have two red turnips waiting to trade (or sell for 16,000 bells).

I wish I had my camera on me to take a picture of this last part of the trade.

Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop

The Cooking Mama games are my favorite. My late brother would always buy me the latest version for either Wii or DS. I just happened to go on GameSpot today and saw that Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop came out last month.

Lucky for me, I still have a Toys R Us gift card from J & A from last year (I had to return Ocean Zenses because I got two copies for my bday). I can use it to get this game. Now I just have to give hubby my gift card and ask him to pick it up for me.

445 bells

Luckily, Leesh remembered to buy some turnips from Joan on Sunday. Actually it wasn't Leesh who bought the turnips, it was Ross (he was laying the path stones and ran into Joan). Anyway, after Leesh talked to Nook today and found out that he was buying turnips for 445 bells, she ran back to the house and picked up the 190 turnips and sold it to Nook. Yay - 84,550 in Leesh's pocket!!! I love the stalk market.
