I was thinking it looks super difficult! I didn't even know those recipes existed. I'm not sure if I've baked EVER.
My Twitter
I love to cook in real life, so I'm looking forward to trying out all these recipes! I didn't know they existed either. I've baked in game some, but was always too busy doing other stuff, so now I get to concentrate on cooking (well, when I get to this house lol)! BTW, I love your siggy!
I remembered that I have baked... with the cupcake machine!
My Twitter
LOL!! See, now, that I haven't used!
I did a "bakery" store in my rotation but only played it a couple of times.
My Twitter
It's something I've always wanted to try out, but just haven't yet. Hard to find room for it lol.
It's kinda like the microscope... why's it so darned huge?!
My Twitter
U know, I love me a good CHALLENGE....the Drifter Challenge isn't an easy set of mini-challenges, that's 4 sure...but I rather like it that way LOL
Yeay! What the Heck!?!?!?
I'm a challenge addict, I'll admit it. That doesn't mean I wasn't surprised to see what's in store for house 018!
My Twitter
I like it that way too! Makes it more interesting
Umm Vi? I totally thought that gif was sticking up it's middle finger? I was like wha? Thanks for the laugh, I needed it!
My Twitter
Now that you mention it, it does look like that lol!!
Lately I'm mistaking everything for the wrong thing! I think it's the lack of sleep. I was reading Twitter and I thought TigerLover was calling someone's sims fat. *sigh*
My Twitter
Lol! It does sound like you need sleep!!
You have no idea. The struggle is real.
My Twitter
Believe me, I understand! Fostering a 4 week old kitten is a lot like having a newborn in the house!!
Newborns were a LONG time ago for me! My youngest starts his last year of high school tomorrow actually.
My Twitter
Aww. My youngest was a newborn 5 years ago. My oldest just graduated last May. I'll have him in college, a sophomore in high school, and a kindergartener.
Wow, that must be crazy!
My Twitter
Yep lol, but it's my life
