Success with the HRA! End of Mortgages! [End of M2]

I know I wrote the other day that I was wrapping up my month 2 in that
entry, but I just throught I'd pop back to crow a little bit...

Heh, I finally beat the first HRA prize today. Yay for me! My completed
Snowman set won the day with *ease*. I'm quite proud of my new little
model. Now, I have to figure out how to score the other two...

*And* it looks like today is the ABSOLUTE LAST DAY I WILL HAVE TO EVER
DEAL WITH A MORTGAGE. I'm down to 195K to pay, and I have 250K+ in the
bank. At this point, the only question is how much of my savings do I
have to sacrifice. Lucky, tuna are just about jumping out the ocean
into my pocket, and I'm nailing red snapper and sea butterflies left
and right. At this point, I even enjoy catching sea bass. I might even
end up shaking all the fruit out of all the trees to snag last precious
bells I want.

In other news, the Flea Market was extremely cool, but I wrote about
that in the Flea Market topic. And thanks to my WiFi trip during the
flood, I now have six new trees growing *quite* well, two each of the
three I was lacking.

Needless to say, I am extremely pleased with myself. In fact, I have to
say, I have really grown to love this game over the last two months. I
really do think it is a _massive_ improvement over ACGC, and that is
saying *quite* a lot.

Because I rarely read Gamefaqs and hardly ever look at the guides, I am
still discovering weird little elements, events, and just general
strangeness all throughout the game. And I love it, I love it, I love
it.

Anyway, I gotta run. Anymore self-congratulatory glee, and I might
burst into flames.
