I stopped in Teddy’s house today, and to my surprise, Molly was visiting him as well.

When I spoke with Molly, she said she’s into swapping stuff with her neighbors. Like swapping saliva with Teddy? Hmm?

As I started rolling up today’s snowballs, I tried to use the big one to run over Tammy.

But then I felt bad, because I didn’t want to break anything. No, I don’t mean Tammy’s bones, I meant I didn’t want to break the snowball.

Anyway, Skye told me that she once went fishing for three hours and didn’t catch a thing. NPC or not, that’s just sad.

I saw a silver slingshot floating by on balloons, and I smiled because I knew I could ignore it now that I have the gold balloon badge.

Copper indirectly informed me that Gulliver was on the beach, so I headed down there. His clues made it obvious that he was talking about Italy.

He even made a Mario reference. He’ll be sending me a gift from Italy in the mail tomorrow.

I knew that I still needed two diving catches, and I knew that one of them was still out of season. But I had no idea what the other one was, or whether it was in-season or not. But I decided to do a little diving anyway, just in case. And that decision paid off, because I caught my first horsehair crab!

I headed over to Tom’s town to collect a couple of bingo numbers, and I now have a quintuple ding. Even though the snowmen won’t acknowledge anything more than a triple ding, it means I’m one number away from a bingo in five different ways. So hopefully I’ll bingo again sometime soon.

Tom’s penguin Roald looked like he was all dressed up!

Tom’s friends Gabi and Ronald also came to Tomville, and we danced up at Club LOL. It was quite crowded in there!

Hazel scares me.

We got disconnected, and Tom was finished after that. Back in Forest, Luna and Teddy both mentioned my most recent dream visitor, Rydelle from Arendele.

I found a lost item on the ground, and began asking my villagers if they recognized it. Eventually, I was able to reunite the item with its owner, Rolf. He rewarded me with an apple.

I ran into Teddy again, and he was acting a bit strange…

But I did ask him not to kiss me again.

My island gift shop had the rare cabana flooring today. I went on a few firefly tours to earn some medals and then I bought it. I also posted on Twitter and Tumblr, offering to let people come and buy it if they needed it. Taylor took me up on the offer and came over for it. I plan on doing some island hopping later tonight, so there’s still a chance my contest could start in the next day or two.

Late last night, I made a quick dream visit to Anville, which is Olivia’s town. She has changed things up since the last time I visited. I didn’t stay long, so I wasn’t really taking pictures, but I did take one. I noticed that she has two bridges close to each other. It actually looked nice being able to see the next bridge up the river.

The town is quite nice, and the dream address is 6900-2923-1084 if you want to visit it.

Today, I got a letter in the mail from the snowboy; he sent me this snowman bed. Even if it looks more like a snowman coffin.

Big Top tried to tell me he was moving out of town on February 9th, but I quickly convinced him that he was mistaken. I went to Tom’s town to get a bingo number, and he glitched onto/into his bench. He threw at beans at me as I sat there.

I was tempted to collect the beans and get a stew going, but I didn’t. Tom saved the game, and then he died.

A couple of his friends came over to visit, but Tom purposely disconnected when he discovered one of them took some perfect oranges without asking. Back in Forest, I saw an igloo at the campsite and I found Flo the penguin inside. Thankfully, she didn’t try to sell me car insurance.

As I was watering flowers, I spotted Phineas! I had no idea what to expect, but he gave me the Balloon Master badge! That’s the gold one, which means I no longer have to waste my time shooting down any more useless balloons! Woohoo!

To my surprise, he actually had a second badge for me too! This time, he gave me the Catalog Maniac Silver badge for collecting over 50% of the items in the game.

This seems like a good time to post my updated badge screen, so here it is:

I rolled up today’s snowballs to make a snowboy, but he wasn’t perfect today. Just to remind you all, the snow on the ground will be gone on February 25th. So you have three weeks left to collect items from the snowman, snowmam, snowboy, and snowtyke. I have a shot at finishing them all up, but it’s not a sure thing.

Anyway, I went up to the Dream Suite and saw that my most recent dream visitor was Biarna from Naralda. When I was done shopping, I went down to the dock to begin my island hopping for the evening. I met a few nice people, including Marysol and Alexa, who is shown here.

I was able to find one new piece of each set (mermaid and cabana). Now I have 12/13 mermaid items and 9/13 cabana items. However, I have used up almost all of my medals. So I’ll need to do some more tours tomorrow to earn more before I go island hopping for the remaining items.

When I was done touring, I returned to Forest and saw the northern lights in the sky above.

Late last night, Jessica came over to test our connections. She hadn’t played with me since I got my new router, so we wanted to make sure we could connect now. Fortunately, it worked with no problems.

She started up the game too late in the day to get her Resetti model, so I gave her mine. I also had a hat to give her. I invited her over to the snowman to get a bingo number she needed…but I was hiding behind the snowman with my hammer ready. She stopped to talk to Teddy and…BAM! Surprise!

But a bit later, she got her revenge as I was talking to Teddy myself. Teddy seemed to know exactly what was going on. 😛

By this time, we both had major head wounds, so I ended the party for the night. Then today, the snowboy sent me this snowman TV in the mail.

I was playing later in the day than usual, so I didn’t get to exchange bingo numbers with Tom today (sorry Tom!). But I built a perfect snowboy and then headed up to Main Street. Luna told me my most recent dream visitor was Bijou from Peril. In Club LOL, I put a mega tootoid (which I dug up in town) up on the stage. I want to have four farting gyroids on stage, so I’m halfway there.

Kim came over to get a bingo number, and I showed her the fall-into-a-hole-from-the-bench trick.

I was headed out to the island to check today’s gift shop items, so I asked if Kim wanted to come too. She did, and we did a couple of tours on the island while we were there.

We then returned to shore and I ended the party. I saw Saharah, and I paid her to redo my house. She installed an ornate wall and a sporty floor. Not the best combination.

Later on, I went out to some Club Tortimer islands. On one of the islands, I met Emma, who told me that her birthday is tomorrow. (Happy birthday!) We agreed to go on an easy labyrinth tour, so I chose it and I began to sit down as she was putting her bugs or fish away.

However, I found out that Club Tortimer tours work differently from regular tours with friends. As soon as I sat down, the tour began…without her! I’ve made a huge mistake. To make matters worse, when I was done, I was put on a different island! Fortunately, she had told me her Tumblr account, so I sent her an apology there.

Anyway, I ended up on an island with Star#1 from NtdoLand. He actually knew me from my Youtube channel, although he doesn’t read my blog.

As for my mermaid/cabana collections, I found a cabana vanity today and that’s it. So I have 8/13 cabana items and still 11/13 mermaid items. So the contest is still at least a few days away still. Hopefully I’ll have more time tomorrow to island hop than I did today.
