Classic Easter Egg
I had no flowers to water today! So the rain waters them for you, huh? Why doesn't it rain every day? The hybrids in my flower breeding section of town grew a new purple rose. Purple roses are my favorite flower, and yet I haven't figured out anything to do with them. I should fix that.

Felicity sent me a letter saying how shocked she was that I wasn't 'up to date with the latest trends'. So, to 'help me out', she gave me a Trash Can. Is she trying to tell me something?

Coincidentally, she and Lolly and I had our twinning game on point.

If my style is trashy, she isn't doing much better. :p

I tried a new hairstyle today, since I don't entirely like looking bald whenever I wear a hat. The Formal-Business-Fresh style ended up being a little too girly so I'll probably never go with that again. I generally prefer my ponytail with hats, since the bangs usually show enough but such was not the case with my Alpinist Hat. I should have just gone with my standard low ponytail since it has the bangs parted to the sides of my face.

Still no new Princess furniture for sale at Gracie's today. I think I'm just missing one final piece. However I did make some progress with my alternates' homes. I added the few new lockers I ordered to the back room of Shyloh's house, and the locker room has all that it needs now. I didn't finish it today since apparently I somehow forgot to order the expansion yesterday. I'll just put that off for now, since I had an idea for the upstairs and ordered the first expansion for that today instead.

Lily's house is a different story. I haven't put much focus into it yet, save for the two rooms I've started so far. Her house is going to be the Red Queen's Castle and have a straight-up Alice in Wonderland theme with each room being a different scene. While looking for an appropriate flooring for Shyloh's upstairs, I noticed the Underwater Floor for sale in the museum and immediately thought of the Caucus Race. So I'm going to try to make a room based solely off of that, with a bonfire in the middle and some animals running around it. That is, if there are enough items to serve as the animals. I still need to give that some thought.

The Durian trees are fully grown behind Whitney's house and they look perfect. When I'm landscaping a house or a building I always try to plant fruits and flowers that are the same color as said establishment. For example, I planted a row of Peach trees along the path leading up to Re-Tail. Fortunately for Wart Jr. this time, I had plenty of peaches to pick for him when he asked for one.

Besides that, none of my friends were too needy today. Chief asked to come over and we set a time for 1:00...which, writing this now, I just realized I missed. *facepalm* I usually say no if they ask to set a time to come visit because I always, always forget about it. I'm sorry, Chiefers. :(

I always forget about meeting up with my villagers too >_< Whenever they say "pick a time after this", I usually decline because I know the time will be too far away for me to remember.

For the Caucus Race room, maybe you could try buying the New Year zodiac animals from someone on the forums? These ones. I'm not sure if that's the look you're going for, but it could work...

I got a trash can in the mail once too. Deena sent it to me, saying it reminded her of me. Rude.
 
Was literally JUST going through my catalog and realized that some of the zodiac items will be perfect. Not the animals, but like the Pisces Lamp, Scorpio Lamp, and Cancer Table might work!

Oh man, I suppose my letter wasn't quite that offensive. Dang, Deena. Harsh. xD
 
Let me guess, Felicity is your Resident Snooty. Purrl does similar things to me. Yet we've achieved the highest level of friendship. I'd hate to think what she says about Sapphire, Flint, and Jett behind their backs! :eek:

Love the ideas for a Red Queen house! Can't wait to see it.

I totally forgot about meeting up with Rizzo a few days ago. Fortunately, I had my 3DS on sleep, so when I opened it, he was still knocking (silly mouse!). I must have annoyed him, though, because he only stayed about 30 seconds, didn't ask to see any other rooms, and then left. Oops. Need to keep him happy, since he's my only Cranky and I want Zen PWPs.

Maybe the Aries rocking chair too?

Yep, she is. And wow, how long did you have it closed? xD He must be awfully persistent.
The zen projects are definitely some of the best. I hope you can get them soon!

Oh, yes. I don't have that one in my catalog, but I could hunt one down. I Googled the movie scene to see what kind of animals there were, and it was mainly birds, fish, and lobsters. But the Aries Rocking Chair is the perfect size if I need to fill in a spot!
 
I think it was about 45 minutes or so. I guess he likes me. :blush: He keeps pinging me for favors or to give me a present. I hope he starts with the projects soon.
 
I always forget about villager times too. If they don't ask to come over right then, I decline.

Velma always tries to change my fashions as well. I've gotten several unpleasant things in the mail from her! And Sparro, of course, continues to try to change my nickname. Yesterday he teamed up with Midge to have me give up my current nickname "Nutmeg" but it didn't work. :p
