SIMulated Karma
Tim has being playing the Sims to relax. He's had a little Tim and Terri that he's been trying to guide through life, but they haven't been doing so well. The other night, he allowed them to make all their own choices, so they stood on the front lawn and had a fight ... all night long. And then little Sim Tim hit little Sim Terri. He fell to negative numbers in the relationship quotient.
Well, last night their problems ended. Little Sim Tim removed the ladder from the swimming pool where little Sim Terri was exercising - and she drowned. (You know there really should be a PENALTY for murder in this game.) But anyway. Little Sim Tim then went on a shopping spree. He bought a pool table, new furniture ... oh, he was a happy little boy. He even bought a Genie lamp. When he rubbed the lamp, the Genie offered him a magical influence on his fun. So Sim Tim took him up on it. And the Genie set fire to the pool table.
Several of you have asked how my foot is doing. So I'm going to indulge myself whining here a bit. It is better. The sweeling has gone down and the bruise is fading. But it still HURTS!!!!!!!! LOL. I didn't realize that if you break your toe, it hurts all the way back to the arch of our foot. At least MY broken toe hurts that far back. I wore shoes yesterday and I paid for it last night when I had to lie in exactly the right position for nothing to be touching my foot. I propped it on a pillow.
In other mundane news, my NaNo novel wasn't going well. Last night I deleted everything I had written and started over. It's the same basic outline, but I'm writing it with more honesty and passion. It's going better. Now I'm behind the curve and playing catch-up. So I can add the NaNo project to the list of all the other stuff that I procrastinate and then have to catch-up in a mad frenzy of last minute brilliance.
My affirmation for the day ... I am attractive because I feel good about myself and others. Everyone needs to use this affirmation several times a day. Even classically beautiful people obsess over what they see as their physical short-comings. A thoughtful, kind person who is genuinely interested in others is truly attractive.
Now this attractive person is going to prop up her toe - and write another 2,000 words ... (yeah right!

i love SIMS lol
I'm afraid to even touch SIMs -- I'd be addicted in no time flat. I must say giving them RL names is pretty -- uh -- let's just say scary.
Your toe still looks dang painful, my dear. But those nails are still to-die-for!
The SIMS sound interesting... I've never played, sounds very addicting
I love that game...never have time to play it anymore.
I'm like lovingmy40s. If I ever started playing Sims, I'd be addicted. Glad to hear the toe is better. I had a broken toe one time and dropped a can of green beans on it a few days later. I thought I was going to pass out from the pain, then the next day it hardly hurt at all. Very strange.
A thoughtful, kind person who is genuinely interested in others is truly attractive.
Thank you for this. I've been struggling with self-image and self-worth of late. Now I feel better.
I love the title you gave this entry. Perfect.
I had a trial version of one of the SIMS games. My son was addicted to it. I never bought the full version because my computer couldn't have handled such a large version. Besides, I never would have got him off the computer then.
I can't see that pic very well. I think I need a new monitor. Shoot, what I really need is a new computer. Whenever I get a pinched nerve in my neck it always shoots down my arm and sometimes all the way down to my toes. When my tooth was infected, I had an earache and I also had TMJ (A stiff jaw). I read that with this you can have problems with your neck and earaches, too because your jaw is connected to your neck and part of your skull. I always felt the pain on the right side.
Well, I sure hope you heal soon. I think writing with honesty and passion would be the only way I could write fiction. I already know what a fantastic writer you are. And, I've also seen what you look like. You are very attractive on the inside and the outside. That's a great affirmation.
Wow, I never, have a Sim game like that. If I let them do what they want they usually eat, skip work, consequently get fired, and pee on the floor.
And this is why I stay away from the SIMS. I am an addict, recovering, but still waiting for a SIMS Anonymous....
Speechless. And sad about the SIMS.
On the NaNo...behind the curve perhaps, but passion and honesty will bring you to it and past. I know this.
Oh, the SIMs! I love the game, but it's really scary and amusing what the people can do!
I love toes that have an affinity for books!
Your poor little piggy!
He better stay out of the market for awhile--just go weee weee weee all the way home--to the soft pillow. 
It still appears painful...
I LIKE that Genie.
Owie! Your toe looks painful!
Well, shoot, I am sorry your book wasn't going in the direction you wanted it to.
ouch!
poor toe. I hope you are out of pain soon! I don't write well under pressure, myself... don't know if I would do very well on a Nano project.
They actually have games like that?
WTF?
No wonder society has taken a freakin nose dive...
Sail on... sail on!!!
Cute pedicure! I have no idea what sims are but got some idea...
bless your heart....I hope your toe heals quickly!!!
Good luck on the writing...I know you can do it!!!

You know, you have honestly written the part you deleted... I think it still counts towards your total. If that helps you rid yourself of the "I"m so far behind" feeling. Unless that works for you as a motivator. I know if I threw out my 7k, I probably won't finish at all...
I've heard of that Nano novel deal, but what is it? And, hope you're back on all ten toes soon.
TRAMP
You just want me to do more naughty things to that photo, don't you???
God Bless - Dale o/
Honesty in fiction...
