If you’ve been reading my other blogs lately, you likely know that I’ve been trying to replace many of my old, stale catchphrases. That has continued with New Leaf as well; Lolly asked me for a new one on Wednesday, and I told her to say “if I poop.” \ud83d\udca9<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Lolly:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Cube sent me this letter in the mail, along with a gift:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Jeff…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SURPRISE! I got you a gift! When I saw this, it reminded me of you somehow… Maybe you were one of these in a past life? I’m sure you were a really good one! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Your friend, Cube<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So I open up the gift and find an orange cone<\/strong> inside! Excuse me? That’s an odd thing to say, but Cube does think outside the box. \ud83d\ude09 Maybe it’s his way of saying I stop traffic? I don’t know, maybe Cube should stay in his lane. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, I found Bettina the mouse camping over at the campsite. So I stopped in to say hello. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Bettina:
I’m taking a photo, so say cheese!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Thursday, Hornsby asked me for a new catchphrase. I told him to say “I ate it.”<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Hornsby:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

He later told me he was using a shampoo that made him smell like cheesecake…and his catchphrase made it sound like he ate the shampoo. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Hornsby:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And speaking of cheese, Lolly sent me a cheese wall in the mail today. It didn’t take long for Mira to ask me about it…as we spoke between two houses.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Mira:
Hornsby pinged me, but he lost interest before I finished chatting with Mira.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Mira wanted to trade a royal shirt for my cheese wall, and I agreed to the exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremiah invited me over to his house, so we hopped over to his pad. Of course, there wasn’t much to do in there after speaking a few times. So I just sat on his sofa and waited it out. \ud83d\ude1b He eventually let me buy something, and he offered me his trash bin for 230 bells. I was an offer I couldn’t refuse<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Jeremiah:
Refined taste or refined trash?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When I got back outside, I found a four-leaf clover on the ground. I don’t feel particularly lucky, though.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"I<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Forest must have a flea infestation lately: Mira, Rolf, and Hornsby all had fleas on them today!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"I<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"Hornsby:
The flea bit Hornsby, and Hornsby bit back.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I worked a shift at the Roost for the first time in a long time. I served coffee to Hornsby, my former villager Skye, Rolf, and Phineas.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Skye:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I earned some superb coffee beans, even though one of the orders wasn’t perfect (sorry, Hornsby).<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Brewster:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Perfect peaches were today’s bonus item at Re-Tail, so I gathered up a few baskets and I also grabbed a few baskets from storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s almost June, and sharks are just around the corner! Many of the summer bugs start appearing in June too. What are you looking forward to in the summer? Leave a comment below, and I’ll be back with more in June!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
