My wife is glad I held on until the last, too - if I'd gone to bed when she did, I would have missed the excitement (which sadly only woke me up completely after I was done with the game). She has a laptop on a small desk in the same room as my computer, and our cat lives to sit on it, of course. Last night said cat decided she was going to gorge herself on food and then sat on the laptop, and started to make regurgitating noises. I managed to get her off the laptop before all hell broke loose, and the only victim in the end was the wood floor. I could only imagine the state her laptop would have been in if I hadn't been in the ro om.

As far as rooms go, Grace, after I finally turned the Ballroom black (and after a few naps there) I was shifting between the Gloomy House, Garden, Clothing store - whatever would give me 6 notes and cost the fewest APs. Throw in a few visits to the Mayor's Office - I also tried to avoid Night Mode if possible, but I ended up burning quite a few lanterns anyway - and I managed to just make it. Thank goodness I no longer avoid the Garden - that's where I finished up after I couldn;'t access the Clothing store any more. I can't begin to imagine the dedication (or insanity?) shown by those who set themselves to the task of turning a room black ... I had decided to do that with the Garden, but fell way short in both APs and determination. I found out I'm more of a slow and steady type of player in the end. :-)
