I Made a Little Barry!

So, I got Sims 2 Deluxe with that Amazon gift certificate you got me. I made Barry!I'm quite proud of myself! I didn't come out so well. I may try again and then post a picture. The problem is that you can't change their height, so I am way too tall. And according to Barry, my Sims' face is too long.
I set his aspiration on Pleasure and set his personality to Gemini. His life goal is to become a Professional Party Goer.....how fitting!
I set my aspiration on Knowledge and set my personality to Capricorn. My life goal is to become a Mad Scientist....mwah ha ha!
Super-fun game....I'm going to go play now!

Sale on Bags at Fred Meyer!

There's a sale on re-usable grocery bags at Fred Meyer. If you buy $75 worth of groceries and use a Fred Meyer rewards card, you get 3 free bags. After that, the bags are 2 for $1. 2 for $1!!! We got groceries about 2 weeks ago and used about 16 plastic bags. This time, we used 6 re-usable bags. Only 6! They are huge and fit a ton of groceries! It was nice taking less trips from the car up to our third floor apartment. We bought a couple of extra bags too just in case we need them. This sale is going on until November 17th, I think. If you've been thinking about switching, now is the time!
Fred Meyer should give me a commission.

So I finally got around to looking through all of the pictures that my parents and Barry & I took on our vacation. You can view the original post here. Here's some of them:

This is Shell Falls. It is named Shell Falls because of all of the seashells the pioneers found in it. Needless to say, I stayed very far away from the railing although Barry tried to throw me in a couple of times.
Here we are at a Dinosaur Tracksite. This area had a dried up river bed that had a bunch of dinosaur tracks imprinted into it.
Can you find the Dinosaur track? There's actually a lot of them in this picture!Yay! You found it!
This is at the Thermoplis Hot Springs. They had a hot springs water park there and other hot springs all around. Stinky!
At Yellowstone, we saw Old Faithful... buffalo......
a marmut.....buffalo......And a natural bridge that was nowhere near as impressive as the one in Virginia.We went to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center.......and rode on empty saddles.Buffalo Bill is Barry's hero.Totally unrelated to the vacation, but this one was in the pictures and I had to share!
