Day 23

Video Log: N/A
Re-Tail Sign: Giant Snakehead
Turnips: Sunday. Joan was selling turnips for 97 Bells each.

Because I am up for some reason at nearly 6AM, I decided to try and have an early day–even if I’ll probably be taking a nap within an hour or so and that “early start” will be ruined since not much is opened at that time.

It was nice to see. I had some mail–received a Sketchbook from Katie. Also, the 6AM music is very pretty.

I also apparently upgraded my Trophy Room instead of my Kitchen… oops. Shall do the Kitchen today then with the Toy Room tomorrow.

Anyway, while there was still stuff I needed to do (like celebrate the Cafe, go to the cafe, and dig for fossils), Matt invited me over to his Japanese town! So I decided to stop there first :3

I had fun catalogging things <3 (so want to get one of those glass cases with the books in them…)

Day 21

Re-Tail Sign: Shirt
Turnips: AM: 63 Bells | PM: 105 Bells

I hate when I sleep late T___T Regardless, I still have time to do morning things, although, this made me wonder. I know the day itself more or less starts at 6AM, but I wonder if that effects bugs too or if once it hits midnight on July 1st, they’ve switched… Moving on, about loading up the game I was greeted to mail and rain. I received a Vibraphone from Rocco, ANOTHER World Map from Katie, and the stuff I ordered. Need to give the White Stockings to Selaphi and Hinaningyou to Carina.

Kiki than randomly gave me a Peachy Tee.

The Nooklings will be having another sale today… but I’m honestly not going to wait until 7PM to buy out their store.

Anyway, I headed to Re-Tail to finally pick up my Regal Chair (although, I don’t have anywhere for it to be placed this second…) and also find out the turnip prices this morning for the heck of it.

Day 19

Re-Tail Sign: Giant Snakehead
Turnips: AM: 56 Bells | PM: 104 Bells

Today started out a bit late which always stinks during a game with real time. I was greeted with mail containing my glass display cases and Astrid walking all over my property. And rain. again. When you’ve caught everything you can during the rain and most stuff only appears when it’s not raining, the rain can be quite frustrating. It’s also messing with my pink flower breeding.

Anyway, I headed off to start my chores and was greeted by Joey who wanted me to bury a time capsule.

I put it on the beach.

On my way back to him, I found a lost item!

It turns out it belonged to Kiki–the poor Kitten who lost her mitten.

I then went to pick up my Chaise Lounge.

To be honest–the pink doesn’t look that nice.. I expected a lighter shade :/ I’ll probably change it back to White.

For now, I gave him the Apple TV to make Ruby.

In the meantime, I’ve been thinking of possibly deleting and recreating Sir. My boyfriend ended up getting the same face as him (despite debating on getting a different one) and it’s just kind of weird. I haven’t spent much money on him, but I’d be worried about losing the house placement/possibly not being able to put it there now and it would just be annoying to recreate.

Apparently there will be a sale at Timmy and Tommy’s shop at 5PM…I will probably buy everything before that though. Unless there’s new things on sale then. I’ll check at least.

Anyway, only one of the 4 fossils were good and none were Apato so that stunk 🙁 The fossil I got did complete another Dinosaur though so yay. Also, thanks to the Glass Cases, my Plants and Minerals exhibit is coming together a bit more.

Just need to get a few more flowers and the proper wallpaper and flooring.

I then went and saw Nook to pay my loan…and remembered I should probably work on sorting out my Basement’s layout. After paying off my loan, I went and asked my Trophy Room to get bigger. I should go order more Rococo Dressers…

It was then onto Streetpass (while also buying out some stores) where I was surprised to see Reggie again!


I received Vanilla Soft Serve from Mark and a Red Balloon from Reggie. I went and ordered a few more things from Reggie. Note to self: Order Watering Trough from Upstairs first tomorrow.

Day 17

Re-Tail Sign: Carpet
Turnips: AM: 98 Bells | PM: 90 Bells

Yay for mail~ One a surprise and one not so much.

Tammy had sent me a Ranch Tea Table as thanks for her birthday present and the other was the Star Globe that Mark made me order for him.

I went to throw some stuff into my Basement for now to at least get it towards it’s stepping stones. I’ll probably be upgrading it again as I really want to work towards how it’s supposed to look.

Flip had me deliver something to Astrid who had me guess on whether I’d receive anything–I failed (although, I did figure it was clothing–I just was really hoping for furniture). Blah. On the bright side, I found all 4 of my fossils relatively easily.

Anyway, then it was time to celebrate 😀

After the Ceremony, Kyle asked for any Fruit and Ruby asked for an Orchid Mantis… not sure if I will complete the latter, but Kyle gave me an Imperial Shirt as thanks.

I went and paid off my loan to Nook, but I’m going to hold off on seeing him for the next expansion in hopes I can find someone with a Pink Arched Door. I’ll do the expansion a little late.

After finishing at the museum (no new fossils 🙁 But bought some stuff at the Museum shop!), I headed to the HH Showcase. However…there was someone I didn’t recognize before.

It’s Reggie! 😀 Our first Spotpass house.

Day 15

Re-Tail Sign: Cowrie Shell
Turnips: AM: 159 Bells | PM: 145 Bells

In contrast to yesterday’s bright blue sky, it is raining in Pink Sea today. It looks like 223 was my highest price, but that’s okay. Happy I sold them at Hanabi then~ Anyway, I received mail from Rocco and Katie. Got Ranch flooring from the former and a Digital Photo Frame from the latter.

For some reason, I am having an awful time with breeding Pink Lilies… I still have just my 3 on the beach 🙁

Anyway, since I made the Hot Spring before 6AM, it was completed today! I really should try talking to her after midnight to see if I can build 2 Public Works then… or at least definitely checking if it’s a holiday the day before.

Kiki then randomly gave me a Folk Shirt…was really hoping for a new Public Work request as there isn’t anything else I can make right now 🙁

I then headed to the museum to get my fossils looked at and well…

SECOND FLOOR BEING MADE 😀 And I promptly paid it off too <3

I also noticed I had Saharah today.

On my way to my house with her, I noticed Katie over. Shall have to take her over to someone’s town later.

The stuff I ordered had arrived as well so time for Polar Bear remaking today!

Anyway, after…lots of mail, I finally brought Saharah in to remodel.

I feel I should worry abut the sounds and shaking though. I received the Backgammon Wall and Diner Tile.

Joey tried to get me to trade a Lotus Lamp for his Donut Stool… I thought about it (due to some of the customizations), but I’d rather my lotus lamps right now. Anyway, bringing the Mama Polar Bear in…

It will be Pink Striped <3

So, I visited Nook’s to get my loan amount and check out his stock…

PINK WALL 😀 I immediately bought it. I then went and paid off my loan. I REALLY hope I can find someone on my list with the Pink Arched Door and Pink Roof (Quick tip: They actually have pink in the name–Fairytale Door and Fuchsia Roof are different items) so I can never have to upgrade on her again exterior-wise as I just need the space so desperately. Edit: Thanks to Junri, I got the Pink Roof! Just Arched Pink Door to go.

Random note: Katie’s “Yeeees!” when you use the megaphone is adorable.

“Of course I remember you, Katie!”

I really love Katie in this game, actually. She kind of reminds me of when I was little–I always begged my parents to travel. I brought her over to Jessie’s town.

Picked up my first Mama Polar Bear.

I picked the Collared Shirt for the next one.

Then, I received a few visitors 😀 My boyfriend brought over the Stately Wall, a Fireplace from Skcoddam, and Hibiscus Hairpin from Eclipsed.

Thank you all! <3

Thanks to lots of people, the bedroom is almost done!

Missing items are the Lily Record Player (to replace the Phonograph), Rococo Lamp (I’ll probably order a Lovely Minitable or whatever it’s called to put it on), Pink Bunny Balloon, Pink Heart Balloon, White Marshmallow Chair, Princess Cage, 4-Leaf Clover, Lovely Doll, and Pink Marshmallow Chair. Maybe some possible paintings or things as Wall Accessories (Like the Spring Blossoms Cover Art), but nothing too big. Also maybe one of those Wooden dolls. I’d probably use the Tea Set (from the Europe DLC) if I ever got one in either the Kitchen, Bedroom, or Main Room.
