Tonight, Big Top suggested a new public works project: a balloon arch!
And this is what it looks like:
In a way, I kind of like it. It’s certainly festive.
As I continued my walk, I spotted Tabby outside. YES! This is my chance! I pitfall’d her!
She was a bit peeved after that.
Eventually, I made my way up to the Happy Homes Showcase. A new SpotPass home was there, belonging to Ray from Jojo. His main room was…interesting.
But the main reason I came was for the sleek room. Not so much to see it, but to order from it. I ordered the sleek wall, sleek dresser, and sleek closet.
I made a delivery to Alli, and just look at her face when she saw the banana I gave her!
And Gracie was over by the town tree, wanting to see an “official” look. I thought my cafe uniform might work, and I also put on my brown formal pants, dress socks, and tasseled loafers. But Gracie won’t judge you without an accessory on your head. I thought I would just try anything, just to see if she said everything else was acceptable. That “anything” was a yellow Pikmin, in fact. But to my absolute shock, she said I nailed the look!
That’s right, I passed the fashion check! How is a Pikmin head “official?” I don’t get it at all, but I’ll gladly take it. Here’s a better look at my outfit:
So now I’m 25% of the way to getting the final Nookling expansion. But she also gave me a sweets player as a reward. Even though I don’t care for the sweets furniture, I needed a small music player for my upstairs room anyway.
And today is Labor Day in the U.S., so Isabelle was over by the town tree handing out picnic baskets.
This is what it looks like:
I was going to work a shift at the cafe, but because of the holiday, Brewster wouldn’t let me work. Still, I saw Tabby talking about how hard it is for her to be so awesome. Awesome? Her? I was speechless.
And back outside, Aurora came up to me and asked me what temperature peanut brittle should be served at. How would I know? I’m the peanut butter guy, not the peanut brittle guy!
Then I ran into Canberra, who told me she’d never be able to forget my face. Sadly, I’ll never be able to forget hers either.
And in the Able Sisters, Teddy told me he was shopping for clothes that absorb lots of sweat. Uhh…
Later on, I had intended to pitfall Tabby. But she was hiding. Even her door sign practically dared me to find her.
And this evening, I opened my gate for a little while. Wendy and Aimee came over to visit. Hannah was also trying to come, but she kept getting connection errors. Sorry Hannah, we’ll try again sometime. Then, Lindsey also came to town. We took some pictures at the Labor Day face-cutout standee.
Aimee, who was dressed up as Link, wasn’t saying anything for a while, so we were wondering what was going on. But eventually, we found her.
And in the shop, I didn’t want anyone getting the wrong idea. Big Top is not for sale! If I see anyone luring him with a bag of peanuts, there’s going to be some trouble!
After hanging out in my house for a while, we headed off to the island. I really like this quote from Kapp’n.
At the island, we caught some fish and bugs for a while, and then we did a couple of tours. We did a toy hammer tour and a market-value bug-catching tour.
After that, we returned to Forest and I sold my catches. I ended the party for the night. Thanks to all who came (and tried to come)! After that, I took one more look for Tabby. She was nowhere in town! But I eventually found her in the museum, hiding amongst the fossils.
Your days above ground are numbered, Tabby. I will hurt you plenty, and I’ll bury you. It’s just a matter of time…
Since the full-moon vanity is a regular DLC (and not a Nintendo Zone exclusive), it can be re-ordered for a cost of 4,360 bells.
Even though the mirror 
But the new month also brings new bugs and fish. So late last night, and again today, I did some fishing, bug-hunting, and diving. I caught several of the new catches including the cricket, bell cricket, red dragonfly, oyster, and clam.
Anyway, I know the robust statue that Wendy bought from Crazy Redd in her town yesterday was fake. How do I know? Because the moving painting I bought turned out to be real. Sorry, Wendy! 😛
And back in town, Alli finally told me what two other animals already had: That she was moving out of town. I didn’t try to stop her. I don’t dislike her or anything, but she’s not one of my favorites either. Let’s get some fresh faces in Forest. As long as they don’t look like Tabby or Canberra, that is.
And after a diving session, Tabby approached me, wanting to give me a new nickname. She wanted to call me “pookie.” ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? No, you can not call me Pookie!
That’s all for today, but I’ll see you next time!
