Flutterby's Flitterings: Flutter Berry and Amibtions 2

Hey it's me Flutter back again. I'm really enjoying this new town even if it is a little on the creepier side.

So the next day I had to go do some errands around town. I took some pictures as I went and this is the view from the taxi as I headed from my house into town, across the Twinbrook bridge.

I had to stop by Teal's Grocery and Babbling Book's first. Luckily they're right next to one another.

Next I had to head towards the west side of town to do some laundry, especially if Darkate was coming home. I wanted to have some cute clothes and the bedsheets clean. Clean laundry makes us sims happy don'tcha know?

It just so happens that while I was doing laundry I ran into the only friend I had really made in the short time that I had been here. Apparently Lolli's LaundryMat is the place to be.

I was busy telling Pavinna all about the new Super Berry movie I had just seen when I got a call from a strange sounding character looking for a private detective to find his missing flamingo.

I laughed so hard I could barely tell Pavinna what had happened and she stood there looking at me stumped.

As soon as the laundry was finished, I had gathered my things to go home when Pavinna called me back over to her dryer.

Apparently she had forgotten to pull a cookbook out of her apron and had washed it, turning all of her laundry pink and covered in pieced of paper. I promised her that we would go out later that week and see if we could find her a new (or used) cookbook and some clothes. She cheered up a bit at that and I don't think it hurt that the cute marine behind me was giving her the eye.

By the time I got home that afternoon, I was so beat that I didn't even notice there was someone else in the house. O_O

I went to take a shower and when I came out....

My long lost hubby was sitting on the sofa with a smug and amused look on his face. He was dressed like Crocodile Dundee or Indian Jones--one of those adventuring types.

"What if I had been a robber or a murderer? You totally did not even notice I was here!"

I couldn't even say anything I just ran over to hug him.

I've missed you so much babe, but....well....you stink like arid sand and shawarma.

"I'll change" *changes quickly*

"Better?"

Much! Hey, now that you are home, can we find a better house.....or better yet, build one?

"You got it punkin'!"

"Honey, my friend found this cute little house that would be great as a starter home for us, it even has a separate entrance where we can but your special glazed glass detective door....what do you think?"

I love it, I think it's perfect. I especially love the little fenced in garden area!

A few hours and several furniture stores later and....

We were enjoying our new home!

So honey, you know, I've been thinking and I think you should get a job as either a teacher or a fireman.

"I already have"

Which one?

"You'll have to wait and see in the morning when the carpool pics me up!"

The next morning I got up extra earlier to cook breakfast for the both of us but I was running late.

Pancakes or waffles I yelled through the bathroom door.

"Neither! Don't worry about it, I'll get something at work" I could hear the shower running so I abandoned breakfast for the moment curiosity getting the better of me as I kept peeking out the window to see if a car had arrived for my husband yet.

No sooner than I heard a car horn beep, than i was been wrapped up in a hug by my husband.

He gave me a flirty grin and said, "Hey baby, I'm a firefighter"

Apparently this is a new pickup line only available to firefighters. I laughed and kissed him as he ran to get into the truck.
