Second Chance Gift

Thursday was Peanut’s birthday, but I didn’t remember that little fact until I walked into her house and she thanked me for coming. 😮

Peanut: Sparkles! I knew you'd show up, nutty! Don't be shy. C'mon in!

I kind of panicked, especially after I looked in my pockets and found nothing but tools. With nothing to give her as a gift, I tried something I don’t think I’ve ever done before: I left.

I ran to the shop, where a cement mixer was today’s spotlight product. That will have to do. I bought it, and returned to Peanut’s house, not knowing what to expect. But somewhat surprisingly, everything was fine! She asked if I had a present for her, and I handed over the cement mixer. She was actually quite happy about it.

Peanut: Like, no way! NO WAY! A cement mixer?! Whoa, nutty!

I guess as long as you don’t say no when she does ask for a present, it’s okay to leave and come back with a gift later. But anyway, Caroline was also at the party. I hope it wasn’t a squirrels-only party.

When I checked the bulletin board, I thought this birthday message for Peanut was rather funny…considering my gift.

-Happy Birthday- Happy B-day, Peanut! We hope that you'll stick around for a long, long time to come!

Goose has been sick with a cold this week, so I gave him some medicine Wednesday and Thursday. By yesterday, he was already over his cold! He gave me an ornate rug to thank me for the medicine.

Tonight, Eloise and Wolfgang were having a shouting contest near town hall. Even though their shouts weren’t audible to my human ears, Eloise must’ve had the loudest shouts of all. Wolfgang admitted defeat.

Wolfgang: Wow! That's quite a pair of lungs! I think the king of noise has been dethroned...

Caroline is the latest villager to get sick, so I gave her some medicine tonight.

Caroline: I just wanna yell from the rooftops, Jeff SAVED ME!

At the Roost, I accidentally chose the wrong option, asking to request a specific song from K.K. Slider. Oops!

K.K.: Enter a request.

I thought about it for a second, and then I asked him to perform K.K. Faire. I always enjoy that one.

Anchovy’s Pic

Yesterday, I received my weekly HRA letter in the mail. My score is up to 270k after adding Caroline’s pic to my room last week.

Jeff, your room gets 270,564 points! You've acquired enough pieces to ear extra points! A lucky bonus! -Happy Room Academy

I listened in on a conversation between Mitzi and Eloise near town hall, and Mitzi asked Eloise advice on how to be more blunt. Eloise responded by telling Mitzi her hair looked dumb.

Eloise: ...Mitzi, your hair looks dumb, nutty.

Mitzi was caught off guard by that, as you can imagine. 😛 But Eloise continued, saying Mitzi just needs to tell everyone what’s wrong with them, and not care what anyone thinks.

Eloise: The world needs people like me to tell everyone what's wrong with them!

Over by the museum, Anchovy surprised me by giving me his picture! He has lived in town since February though, so it’s not as big of a surprise as getting Caroline’s pic last week. It is nice, though. Thanks, Anchovy!

Anchovy: so, sunshine, has anyone ever given you their picture before?

The left room of my house has now reached maximum capacity, so I wasn’t able to place Anchovy’s pic down until I moved something else. (I put Wolfgang’s pic in storage.) Anyway, Anchovy’s favorite quote is “I’m hungry.” 😛

Since I removed one pic to place another, this shouldn’t change my HRA score any further.

Today, as I was reading my mail, I heard the UFO flying overhead (before I was ready)! It was flying from left to right. As quickly as I could, I equipped my slingshot, went over the bridge to the north, and ran east as fast as I could. I almost caught up to the UFO, but it was just out of reach by the time I hit the east wall. Oof.

The flea market is coming up on Saturday, and Eloise was talking about it. She said that last time, she made Bones buy a trash can from her. 😛

Eloise: Last time I made Bones buy a trash can!

She said she can’t wait to see what she’ll make someone buy this time. She’s really showing her snooty side lately.

Peanut asked me to deliver a letter to Wolfgang, and he really enjoyed it! He even said it warms his cold, crabby heart! 😆

Wolfgang: Hm... That really warms my cold, crabby heart.

Peanut later rewarded me with a pastel dot wall.

That’s all for today, but I’m planning on posting my next Wild World video this weekend. See you next time!

Caroline’s Pic

On Wednesday, Mom sent me a letter saying that Agnes has been stealing her fruit! Wow, what a pig!

Dear Jeff, Agnes has been stealing my fruit for her pie business. The nerve! I like pie, too! Not even one slice! -Mom

Maybe Agnes is just trying to get revenge for when Mom hit her with a softball last year! 😛

Katrina was in town today, and I paid her 100 bells to tell my fortune. She started talking about a curly-eyelashed pelican who keeps talking really quickly.

Katrina: A curly-eyelashed pelican is repeating something with extreme speed.

She said the words keep flowing from her big mouth, wandering without a destination. 😆

Katrina: The words flow from the lips on her mouth, which is somewhat oversized...

But Katrina’s conclusion was inconclusive. Happiness may or may not be in my future. 😛 However, Wolfgang approached me and gave me a free gift (a scarecrow). Except that he called me a moron in the process, so I’m still not sure if that’s a good thing or bad. 😉

Woflgang: Here ya go, have a scarecrow!

But later on, I got an even better gift from Caroline. And she was unquestionably nice about it: She called me her best friend, and then she gave me her picture!

Caroline: You're the best friend I've got here in Forest, so I want to give you this.

Caroline hasn’t even lived in Forest for two months yet, so I certainly didn’t expect I’d get her photo this soon. But it’s a very nice surprise. 🙂 I took it home and put it in my house. Her favorite quote is just one word: “Relax!”

Have a good weekend, everyone. See you next time! 🙂
