Sharon Wirth - Week 2

Please click here for Week 1 with the Bell-Wirth family, and here for John Mole's Week 1.

We're at the Bell's home in Desiderata Valley, but not because it's the start of the next round (it is not), but because of Sharon Wirth living here as well. 

Here she is, the younger sister of Hannah Bell who lives here with her husband Issac and son Daniel. 

About Sharon, Maxis have written that she "has decided to move in with her sister's family until she becomes a bit more financially stable. She has found herself very interested in Mr. Mole, but has had a difficult time getting to know him…" 

She is in a romantic relationship with John Mole and I wonder whether I should make her move in with him, since here at her sister's place she only has a small bedroom with single bed, while John has an entire house to himself, much more suited to a couple. 

In my game, Sharon is a Romance Sim with the unusual lifetime want of becoming General. At the end of last round she made it to Junior Officer.

Issac Bell, her brother-in-law, dreams of being a World-Class Ballet Dancer and is diligently working at it.

Sharon's nephew Daniel is now a teenager and typically, on this Monday morning we find him on the phone to one of his friends - not that he won't see them at school in half an hour anyway!

After school, with Hannah being at work, Daniel and his Dad heat up some of the vegetable soup left in the fridge for them. 

Issac has brought his colleague Trent Traveller along after work, and he gets to eat Sharon's spaghetti bolognese that evening.

Poor Hannah! It really wasn't her fault, it was a chance card... She has lost her job as a Projectionist and will have to start in the Slacker career all over again. Her goal in life is to become a Professional Party Guest. 

Sharon has a wish to woohoo, but that's not possible at her current home with only a single bed available to her (and her room not big enough to hold a double bed). 

She and John Mole have been an item - on her initiative, too - since the I played John's 1st week, and therefore the decision is made: She'll move in with him here at No. 153, Main Street.

She arrives amidst the snow, and John is obviously VERY happy to see her. Sharon's financial situation has really been as unstable as Maxis have made out in her bio - she adds a mere 1,576 Simoleons. No furniture or decor is in her backpack, since John's house is fully furnished, but she brought her career reward (although I don't think there is enough room for it in John's garden). 

The only things bought to accomodate the two of them now are the settee you can see here, and a wardrobe and bedside tables in the bedroom. 

John is so excited about Sharon moving in that he slightly overdoes the hamburgers he makes for their first dinner together as a household. Never mind - several glasses of sparkling wine help to wash them down :-) 

And who cares about a slightly burnt meal anyway, when there are so many advantages to living together! Sharon gets her wish granted ;-) 

Tuesday is a good day for Sharon - she is promoted to Counter Intelligence.

It is also a good day for John, who is promoted to Rookie Field Agent. He still hasn't found a job in Journalism, and will stay in his current career until he can switch.

The dishwasher breaks, but with two relatively well-skilled people in the house when it comes to mechanical, calling the repair service doesn't even enter their minds. 

Sharon has the day off on Wednesday, and John only has to be at work in the afternoon. Therefore, they take advantage of the free morning and walk to the Frippery Frock for some outfits better suited to the various seasons. While Sharon makes her choice, John talks to Toby Scott. With two career-minded Sims, friends are important. 

"Fancy bumping into you here, sis!" Hannah is happy to see her little sister, and vice versa. She wonders whether Sharon and John are going to get engaged eventually.

Back home, John changes into his new wintery clothes and muses about his best friends before the car pool picks him up for work.

Sharon too changes into her new woolly jumper and warm trousers.

She spots Sam Thomas walking by and invites her in, and the two ladies spend the afternoon together. 

Thursday is another day off for Sharon, and she uses it mainly to skill and talk to friends on the phone, while John, who has once again not been lucky in finding a job in journalism, is off to work all afternoon. 

On Friday, Sharon returns from work with Nathan Gavigan in tow. Over a game of kicky-bag, the two colleagues become friends.

The start of spring on Saturday has brought on a spur of growth of the hedge outside the garden wall, and John does some clipping before he goes to work. 

Sharon has taken the wrong decision with a chance card and loses her job - very unlucky for her, but luckily, John has kept his job in spite of it not being his dream career, and therefore the two don't have to worry about money, which is a relief.

Sunday is Family Day whenever possible, and it certainly is possible for Sharon, who invites her sister, her brother-in-law and her nephew over. The Bells are greeted by John. 

But look - something must have gone wrong, otherwise why would the firefighter be here? 

Oh well... you guessed it, didn't you! Sharon burnt the family dinner and accidentally set the stove on fire, too. 

But don't worry, her, John and the entire Bell family are still around - it was just not the best Family Day ever, what with everyone needing showers and rests and so on after this. 

We will see the Bells early on next round, and of course get back to this household when it's John's turn on the list. I am glad they moved in together, and hope that he'll finally get into Journalism - and who knows, one or both of them might even roll the wish to get married.
