Dropping by to log progress...

I spend the five days of last week going to seminars at the Spring Garden Show to collect information for future articles. I return home, tired and hungry, to eat and relax.
After eating, I check my writing sites as well as my different pages. At Facebook, after checking my emails, my avatar pops into Yoville to pick up her paycheck. She notices that she has been promoted to Line Manager because she has acquired a large crew working for her. She walks to her apartment to do her part-time jobs. She does some street team marketing, in the streets of Yoville, mostly within a large crowd hanging out in front of the apartment building. But, sometimes, she does her street team marketing job inside the factory when it is crowded with bored avatars looking for some excitement. After she makes $200 of yoville cash on marketing tactics, such as ttt and rps, she walks inside the lobby of the courtyard apartment and does her telemarketing job of sending email messages to the people on her list, mostly to promote her writing sites and her articles. She earns between $100 to $400, depending on who pops in the lobby or the apartment hallways at the time she is there. As she walks by the crowd hanging out in front of the apartment building, avatars give her more gifts, which include another makeup kit and a pink heart lamp. She notices that the lamp matches the little stool in her bathroom. She should probably get the matching rug eventually.
When she saves enough yoville money, she decides to take a stroll to the yoville stores to continue decorating her Cape Cod house. But she doesn't know what to get next. Her house is slowly filling up with furniture, but it still needs more things to make it complete and livable. The living room looks contemporary, mod and retro with fun furniture. The kitchen is still work in progress, as she tries to enlarge the kitchen to create little side rooms for lounging and relaxing. So, far, the kitchen looks very zen, with yellow pieces scattered about the room. When she is not cooking, she can be seen doing yoga and meditating in one corner as well as reading in another corner. She is considering on bringing the plants from the front door area and placing them in the zen kitchen.
The dining room still needs some work. She plans to buy an exotic rug and maybe a dresser, dishes, lights, pictures, and candlesticks.
The bathroom downstairs is turning out to be pink and blue. She needs a pink picture and rug.
The hallway just has the washer/dryer and a little shelf, but maybe she will add little things to it later.
She goes up the stairs and notices that the sitting area is full now. It looks comfortable and relaxing, with games, bookshelf, reading area, lounging couch with her laptop, and a small desk. She even got a jukebox in a corner. Life is just one big party for her.
She walks into her bedroom and enjoys the scenery from her balcony as she lays in bed, getting ready to sleep. She has lots of makeup, and 2 of them were gifts. She goes into her bathroom. It looks beach-like. But it still needs something. Maybe some pictures, a mirror and shower curtains, as well as little things later on to make it complete.
The yards are still empty, and that will be her last step to decorate. Maybe some lawn furniture, bbq, lawn mower, and other outdoor stuff. Not sure yet.
She decides to leave for now, but will be back on her breaks to check up on things and chat with others.

Checking up on things in Yoville...

Between writing online articles, I travel to Yoville, where my avatar picks up her paycheck and works for extra Yoville money. She now has bought a toilet and sink for one of her bathroom as well as a towel and some house staples. She still has a long ways to go in her house decoration. She has also received more house warming gifts--flowers and more makeup. She now has a boudoir in her bedroom, and a jewelry box resting on top. She enjoys the scenery from her bedroom balcony before she walks out into her den. While in her den, her desk is full of art products and stationery, as well as a calculator and pencil sharpener. A laptop rests on the lounging couch close by. As she goes down stairs, she walks by the video player, living room, and goes into the kitchen to place some flowers on the table. She passes through the living room again to go into the hallway, passing the washer/dryer and going into her dining room. She sees her dining room set and cabinet but feels something is missing. But not sure what. The bathroom, next to the dining room, is still empty. The backyard is ignored for now. She eventually plans to buy a lawn mower before adding anything.
As she goes outside, by the apartment building, she watching a cat fight erupting between some female avatars. Typical chatroom. What else is new. She gets a headache and leaves. She returns and gives some advice to other new avatars before she decides to leave Yoville.

The Cape Cod House remodeling...

Between writing online articles and checking email, my avatar checks on her two worlds. She goes to Yoville to continue remodeling her house. She now has added a balcony in her bedroom as well as a vanity dresser. While, in the kitchen, she added a refrigerator, cook top stove, dishwasher, and sink. But the bathrooms are still empty as well as the dining room and game room.
As my avatar hangs out with the locals, she adds more avatars to her list of friendships in cartoonland, and some also join her Yoville Crew to work under her professional supervision. She occasionally wanders through other people's Yoville apartments and houses as a lookieloo in order to get some ideas because some are advanced in Yoville Home Decor Living.
Then, a ring comes in from Imvu, two men are calling in at the same time, and she puts them on IMVU call waiting, as she makes time to chat with both at the same time. She jumps out of Facebook to chat with a 3D avatars in IMVU. They hang out in the men's place, one man in Germany and another man in Northern California. They chat for an hour or so before they end their chat and she gets tired.
Meanwhile, I watch some reality shows, and read in bed until I fall asleep, while my avatar is sleeping in one of her many homes between IMVU and Yoville. She hasn't been to her site at Gaia in a while, and wonders what is going on there.
