No, that's not a typo. I've dubbed Mondays as Moanday in my office. I've never really liked Mondays. It's a rough day in the working world. But complaining and moaning about the weekend, your health, not making enough money, the weather, or any other thing that trolls through your life doesn't make it any better. I'm sure I'm not any happier than anyone else to be at work on a Monday, trying to get in the groove again, get the old brain firing on all cylinders. I just don't SAY anything about it. How is that making anything better? Sure, blow off some steam, but then you've passed the misery bug to your co-worker for having to nod and listen to your whining. So it's Moanday and I'm moaning about people moaning on Mondays.

The weekend seemed too short but I had a lot of fun. Somewhere in there I built a new lot. It's almost done. I have a few rooms to finish up and it will be presentable. My son stopped in and I had some spontaneous fun with him. I wasn't in front of my computer as much as I thought I would be, which is a good thing. I'm sure I'll get it finished this week and get all the shots I need to upload it.

I also spent some time with my adventure sim this weekend. He adores his baby boy and lives in his garden. Hey, he loves the outdoors, what can I say? But an odd thing happened. At least I think something happened. On one of his travel pursuits he came across the Leon Magic Gnome. I stuck him in the garden to dress it up. He's been good and stayed in the garden. He just moves around a little now and then. But one morning my sim went out to garden and his bell pepper plant was in horrible shape. Wilted and brown.  Gross. Not totally gone, but almost. It was the only plant in the garden in crappy shape. My sim has mastered the gardening skill so he doesn't stink at this stuff. What I was wondering... do the magic gnomes fart? On this particular morning the gnome was standing in the garden and his butt was towards this plant. Hmmm... I have since been on stakeouts trying to catch dirty little Leon in the act so I can snap a piccie for evidence of the dastardly deed. So far he's behaving and no further traumatized plants. I'll get you one day Leon! *shakes fist* I think it's time to send my sim to explore Egypt. I neglect Egypt. I don't like hot places or sand or sims that impersonate terrorists so I usually don't go. I'll send him. Something different. Maybe he'll find that area's gnome and then Leon will have a playmate.

That's all for now. I'll try to get that lot finished up for you all. Try not to moan too much today. We all know it sucks. Bear with us.
