Sweetmeaton BACC - Galleons Daisy Chain Challenge - Year 2 Spring



Hello dear readers.
I am Ms. Chocolate Galleons, or mostly known to many as just, Jessica. Or my husband sometimes calls me Jewel... I just allow him to say or at least allow him to think with his own benefit. 
I am taking over his journaling, since I personally think he isn’t the best in mind to do this job, when I first found his journal. It was quite sad how much I found out how he lied to me several times in our relationship, especially about his family. Oh well, let’s continue.

To get back at him, I’ve decided to publish my family onto a nice blog to share with the wonderful world and see how my own husband reacts to it, or maybe he will never know? Since he rarely uses one of my favorite machines, our wonderful top of the line computer he only got for himself to start his very first business.


He wrote on a journal before, which was private status at one point. Until I got my hands on it! Well you’ll get an idea how things work in our relationship.



Well to start off the Spring weather, Chocolate was able to quickly get Butter Cream potty trained for the rest of his life.

Thank PlumbBob too! I had to buy several new pairs of black gloves since little Butter Cream was born. Who knew what a young boy could produce in his short life? 



While I keep excelling at my writing career, I’m hoping that starting this blog will allow me to connect with all my wonderful fans.

You know there is always something nice when you get a closer look at your favorite author’s personal life, right?



For the daily routine in our household, we are still making sure to take time at each of our own preferred businesses (since with a toddler, and no nannies worth being trusted we figured this was the best way of getting thing done).




My wonderful restaurant, “Casual Dining,” is going through a bit of juggling to find the right workers. Since one of my waitresses has gone on a personal strike, and I had to go and find other willing participants to help me out.

While also Chocolate has been giving me a bit of a guilt trip when it comes down to the simoleans we are putting into my restaurant. It just makes me question him and his dreams even more, since he started about as bad as I do with every single store he has owned.


I don't feel very much guilt. By how much I worked while carrying Butter Cream- he may say it was because I wanted to, but many times it was him dragging me along with my swollen feet to help him with this own dreams.



Even with our little arguments about money, in the end Chocolate is an amazing father to our young Butter Cream.
The husband I married could never be such a good father that he is!



Well to show how interesting my life really is (unlike how my husband did in his journals), I’ll tell you the perks of Chocolate finally having his dream job.

'

Now you probably were wondering where I get most of my inspiration for my delicious romances!

After Chocolate got his in with a SimCity Dance Company Extension, let’s just say the muses always find me!


(Like my bit of graphic editing skills?)


I think the muses of my wonderful inspiration didn’t want me to be a bored housewife right....?



I didn’t have much of a chance before marriage, so why not start using my free time for the nice things in life? I mean I’m a Romance sim! It wasn’t like Chocolate didn’t think this would happen? It isn’t like I’m forcing these men to do my bidding?

However, we’ll just keep this between us; It isn’t like I’m looking for another love... Just someone to help keep the juices flowing while my husband is making his dreams happen!

(Juices... as in creative juices... #PGClarification)


Though I do need to bring up I do try to take care of my own reputation, especially with my wonderful friend Candy Sweetmeats.
Despite how Chocolate sees her, Candy is one of the closest Girlfriends I could ask for! While I have my friends list slowly getting longer, Candy has always been there for me.
While also how close Candy is to me, I know with her Family sim ways she wouldn’t highly approve of my recreational activities...


While also it isn’t like I’m rejecting my husband all together! I love him the most after all! There is a reason I married this wonderful lad. As of course he sees me as his perfect Jewel, while I’m just a girl that needs a bit more then what her own husband can give her with his busy schedule.


I think in the end Chocolate would understand, if I knew he could get around his own sim jealousy...



In the end though, I can’t help but smile in pride when I know how far my husband has come from.


His dumb father, Mr. 100Grand, from SimCity will never know what a fantastic son he had, and how much has been accomplished by this good man!


Even with a little toddler around, and some nice gentlemen coming by every so often, I have more than enough time to keep up with the latest SimCity Top Blockbuster List.

However, when I finish watching a marathon of “Good Feel” movies, I always realize how few friends I actually have compared to my darling Chocolate.


(Literally she has maybe 5 in total.... while Chocolate has 20 BFFs and at least 10 more friends).


So I decided while Butter Cream was busy, I would work outside to chat up any daily walkers.

Even with being in the middle of nowhere there is quite a few that prefers walking around our streets.


In the end I realized, I don’t seem to have as much skill as my husband does, when it come to chatting up with just anybody.

(Yup, true story. She has maybe 2 Charisma skills while Chocolate has almost mastered it for his Dance Career.)



Though Komei came just in time to remind me I do have friends, especially when it comes to locals.


His humor can quite lift a woman’s spirits, I can see more then why Candy chose to marry him!


Though I am slightly worried for Candy for having married younger, along with me having to chant in my head “Candy is my BFF, Candy is my BFF.” Why does there have to be so many handsome men around here???


(Oh I think Komei knows more than enough what type of sim... I think he’s more attracted to her Fortune secondary though.)


As night came, so did my chance of teaching my wonderful Butter Cream a nursery rhyme. The one song I knew Chocolate wouldn’t know; there’s nothing like the song about the Baker and his fantastic choices in cakes.


It ended up being a good strategy to avoid fears during thunderstorms, since we ended up having some loud thunder till Chocolate came back home. Luckily Mother Nature knew how to take care of everything, while I gave Butter Cream a wonderful memory to remember tonight by.


Soon as Chocolate came home, we decided to enjoy celebrate one of Chocolate’s promotions with a wonderful little celebration of Butter Cream finally becoming a child!


With our fine parenting, we can already see Butter Cream doing amazing things!


Though his interests look rather far from my own experiences, since he didn’t seem impressed when he found out what my old career used to be. 



Then to my sadness, I ended up doubting what type of relationship I was going to end up having with my son.



Then again, I think he knows he is our favorite little man in the world!

He knows he has more than enough love to share to both of us!


Right away our little boy tried out one of the most expensive toys that Chocolate had wanted so many years ago. Finally our little man was going to make some good out of it! Quickly dusting it off, he played a few rounds to work on his skills.


(You know if I flippin’ knew about bowling alleys = body skill, let’s just say I would have had a lot more of these around... University? Definitely!)


Next to the Bowling Alley, Butter Cream ended up coming inside to check out all of his father’s cool toys!

Which just made me realize how much we needed to expand our house, it wasn’t too bad when Butter Cream was a toddler, but the lack of space is definitely making itself aware as we all work on our dreams in our little bitty Recreational room.


To give you an idea on how little our living arrangements are, we only have one bedroom with a double bed. Since Chocolate and I pretty much am using other resources instead of actually sleeping, young Butter Cream gets the big bed all to himself.


(Yup the only reason the adults sleep in this house is if I get bored.... Quite different then how the Sweetmeats live).


After tucking in young Butter Cream I ended up working on my mission to make more friends at the secret Library and Movie Buff hideout that I was recently invited to for a full membership. I figured it would be a good place to see if I could make more friends on one my favorite topics, along with getting some new ideas on how to write up my next bestseller.


Of course when I was there, I was greeted with Candy who also had a history of her own best sellers in her earlier years. Personally sometimes I think she is following after me, but with our age difference, I guess I’m actually the one following after her footsteps. In reality we’re very different, but most of our conversations have always been the best since I first moved in with Chocolate.

I personally can’t see what Chocolate has a problem with Candy anyway?


Then again compared to my husband, there is only a few people that actually taking up a conversation with me.


(I always feel really bad for Jessica, either everybody hates her or they flirt with her. The Sweetmeats are really her only friends that haven’t looked for “friends with benefits” (except for Komei now), though realistically she doesn’t mind that type of relationship either).


The next morning, I ended up finding young Butter Cream really following his parent’s footsteps by not only ordering for a lemonade stand, but start right after breakfast!
I believe he really is following his father’s footsteps.


(True story.)


Chocolate had an idea of helping keep an eye on the little guy by enjoying the nice Spring weather with a nice little date.


(The reasons why I still love my husband very much!)


During the date Chocolate ended up showing me his skills at the bowling alley.

(He has toned up so much for his career that he quite a different... better version of the man I married!)



Let’s say in the end, his moves impressed me for a good a bit more of fun that made sure we hit Dream Date status.



While Chocolate and I were busy, Butter Cream made his first (and perhaps only...) sale!!! B
Being able to sell that one drink does show his future potential!

(First time I’ve ever played with the lemonade stand! I found it really funny that this was one of Butter Cream’s first wants).



Soon as afternoon came, Mother Nature had another storm come through. Luckily we had added a small sheltered patio area for all of Chocolate’s instruments, which of course Butter Cream checked out during the storm.

Chocolate couldn’t help but give a laugh when we over heard the violin through the bedroom window, “Butter Cream was going to make sure every useful thing in this house was going to be dust free!”



While during the afternoon I made a large batch of Lobster Thermidor, the last recipe in Julia Adult’s “Mastering of SimCity Cooking”.

 Hopefully the dish will impress the Headmaster of SimCity Private School Chocolate and I had agreed to make sure our son has the best of education possible in all of Sweetmeaton!


Chocolate ended up taking the perks of a good date to his favorite business, Step by Dreams!


By the way he talks about Step By Dreams after he comes home, it usually sounds more like a man cave. It is good though that he has a lot of friends to relax with (and earn some money for our household)!


As our statue collection has grown, I think I’ve noticed more than enough about how our collection really has become a safety hazard this Spring. Perhaps when Chocolate and I finally discuss an expansion we’ll bring our collection indoors? 


After Chocolate did his rounds at Step by Dreams, he was more than happy to enjoy the sound of his favorite new talent. Chocolate questions if we have a Prodigy on our hands...


After a bit of bonding time, Chocolate had to head back to work. Where he will continue to show the Sweetmeaton territory, and making aware of some high up names! He is slowly learning the skills to not only get known in the SimCity Dance Company, but hopefully very soon have a Dance Company in Sweetmeaton!

(Of course having his starting foot of Step by Dreams being the main headquarters!)



After Chocolate left, the storm seemed to start at full roar! I ended up requesting young Butter Cream to come inside because the weather once again made me nervous, violins are made out of wood after all.

(Of course my little guy has started to learn to hug me as a greeting!)


As we started heading back inside, a high end car ended up dropping off a well fitted man.


Let’s just say soon as I started the dance of impressing, the Headmaster made it clear what his role was in this situation.
Of course that just made me wish I had timed this better so Chocolate was around to show off his high standing career.


Sadly during the mannerism of impressing the headmaster my young Butter Cream learned the reasons of my worry of storms.... Sadly he watched the death of the annoying roaches; in a way an easy clean up by the wonderful Mother Nature! Sadly Butter Cream was a bit shaken up by the dire experience. 


Luckily the dish went excellent, however the headmaster didn’t seem impressed enough by my words of accomplishments.


Especially when I was working on bringing up Butter Cream’s amazing abilities as a toddler, how the word “prodigy” is brought up through his education. However, this “professional” thought otherwise.


In the end I even tried my personal tactics that I’ve learned over the years.

(I thought I read that this could help with quick gain of points for the Headmaster... it didn’t).


At the end of the evening, Chocolate had come from work with another promotion. The headmaster sadly said that he didn’t think young Butter Cream could keep up with the standards of SimCity Private School. Chocolate kept his anger to himself as he threw balls down the bowling alley while I walked out the Headmaster.


Before going back to Chocolate I first checked on Butter Cream, in my personal relief, my little boy was already asleep. I hoped by morning that Chocolate would settle down, and even come up with a better plan to not even question Butter Cream getting his best education.


Early the next morning, Chocolate had some bonding time with Butter Cream when the little guy woke up.


While I worked on trying to figure out my employees at Casual Dining, along with receiving calls by the Headmaster... I guess I got to him in the end... Hopefully soon enough I will be able to get him to see how much of a genius my son really is!


After keeping Butter Cream busy, Chocolate had worked out some time at Step by Dreams for a bit. Taking the time to share what he has learned at the SimCity Dance Company.

(Also notice the wonderful autonomous Sweetmeats loving, another sign that Komei really loves his wife while also there was a big reason these two had to get married – again 1 bolt!)



By the time Chocolate got back, and before he had to head to work. I worked on helping the Sweetmeaton Museum, I was taking a small break from Casual Dining, mainly directed my attention to earning the money quite quickly to open up a university for Sweetmeaton Territory! The museum is the business where my relationship pretty much started with Chocolate, it was easy to quickly get the customers to help with the necessary funding.



Though of course there are certain people that aren’t willing to go with the flow, or at least fall into the wonderful trap called Spring Weather.


By the time I got back, I noticed Rocky had stopped by for a small chat. Butter Cream finally had a chance to meet Rocky, before the teen had to go somewhere.

Rocky was nice and courteous, but I think the teen is bit overdone when it comes to children. He was more than likely his mother’s extra hand after his father’s deadly accident. Candy had told me how much he has grown the past few years; his grades are in tip top shape for once since his father died.


Later that afternoon, Chocolate left a good kiss on my cheek along with a strut in his walk. He knew that he was going to win an audition as a World Class Ballerina at SimCity Dance Company.

Finally become a true master of his dream!!


With Chocolate gone for the afternoon, I decided to start on my own celebrating. 


With a couple good gentlemen that where interested in my type of fun!


(Daughter like mother....)


Sadly by dark... my celebration went wrong.


So I ended up taking my husband’s long time advice and went ahead to play some jams to forget about my personal embarrassments. I finally could understand why my husband has fallen in love with not only the art of dance, but also beautiful music.


(I have no idea where Butter Cream has gone to at this point....)


Later that night, Chocolate came home with his good news! He finally hit his Lifetime Aspiration as a World Class Ballerina and successfully has a name for himself to put on Step by Dreams. So now he officially only has to work on the weekends for the shows. Only thing he worries about is keeping himself in tip top shape  so he still has a bit more time to enjoy the benefits of his career.


The next day right after Butter Cream went to school, Chocolate and I headed over to Casual Dining. Since we both new it was my turn to finally achieve my lifetime dream!

(Along with trying to get function restaurants for this town!)

Where sadly I had to fire Sophie, my old waitress, for her not showing up to work after her first day.


(And not giving me a chance to give her a really good raise....)



Also had to do so with my newest waitress... not because she was bad... More because her replacement had better skills and was a bit cheaper.

(Her body skill didn’t help at all with keeping customers happy.)



The new waitress happened to be my dear husband.

(Wearing a uniform I had picked out myself!)


Let’s just say his dignity went down a little when a teenager gave him a tip... While I just accept the good ratings, hopefully soon enough with these good responses I’ll be able to have enough of a reputation to be entered into line of Culinary work.

(While I was able to see my husband view what the other side of the working world looks like! Hehe...)


After we came home from my restaurant, I ended up finding Sophie coming by to tell me something rather crude. 


To make it up to her, I brought her to the backyard to enjoy a good game of bowling while also reminding her there was a reason she didn’t want to show up at work anymore. (She didn’t need the extra money, since she does have full pockets from her well off parents in SimCity, so she should just enjoy her teen hood!)


That evening we had the Headmaster of SimCity Private School come right over for dinner. While Chocolate had waited for him, more than ready to give this guy a show he deserved.


(I was able to get him back with one of our daily conversations!)


Well my husband’s grand skill of Charisma, and my art of cooking with the best Lobster Therimodor of Sweetmeaton. 

(And a beautiful new sculpture that I rented to show off the occasion).


After a good compliment, the Headmaster didn’t hesitate to welcome Butter Cream into SimCity Private School!


I have a feeling also this won’t be the last time I see this “Professional”.
(Oh sims how they Picture Pose for ya!)


Well that’s all for this week’s blog, hope you all enjoy the reading. While also make sure you read my Best Seller Novel, The Commando.

Also officially my wonderful husband has finally set forth a plan for the brand new Galleons University!!!

There of course is a requirement for admissions since it’s a private school, but our own bloodline can admit themselves freely. While the Sweetmeats are able to enter as long as they have learned the right dance moves (compromise I had with my husband). Any other teens will be admitted by personal situation call at the time.

Finally an education that is possible for the locals!
