Okay, here's Week 2's update:
WEEK 2:
Joint Control Day, but Felicia had to work at 9 AM thanks to her promotion, so it was just Ophelia in the morning. She went gathering - which was much faster with her as she'll jog wherever she goes. Then Youssef (the librarian that Ophelia made friends with on that first day in the library) called and asked if Ophelia wanted to go look for bargains at the Flea Market. She had time before work, so she accepted:

That purple lamp looked like just the thing to spruce up Ophelia's room, so that evening, a brief build/buy session for both of them produced this:
Ophelia's additions - the lamp and her currently empty trophy case:

Felicia's new writing nook - not that I'm kidding myself into thinking that she'll do any writing when it's her off week:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7862/32176166147_6525f199da_c.jpg
Monday was work day for Felicia, so off she went. Ophelia, who doesn't work again until Tuesday, went gathering and then headed to the gym. This time her trainer was Marcus, and while working out, she completed the first stage of her aspiration:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7892/33242753718_6c2f5abf9f_c.jpg
After Felicia returned home from work, Maximiliano called Ophelia (I guess they became friends when they all went out to eat) to see if she wanted to go the dance party out at the Bluffs. Ophelia made sure that Felicia and Marcus were also included in the invite:

"Dance Together" surprised me... I never suspected that Felicia had it in her:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7883/46394500334_fb91947867.jpg
Then after the group dance:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7867/46204311985_a64743532b_c.jpg
Felicia shooed them all off the floor so she could dance:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7827/46204307685_3c7f228a59.jpg
The rest of the week went by in a whirlwind and because so much happened, I'm going to spoiler tab each day:
Tuesday
A new purchase was made, and Ophelia was the first one to use it:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7821/46204304445_d6b9d0196a.jpg
Then time to work out, and hey, Marcus again as the trainer:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7894/46204303075_c5585b5767.jpg
She was so confident that she showed him her muscles and then used a Bold Pick-up Line, before heading off to work. It seems to have gone over well:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7826/46394491324_6914b37b5d.jpg
Felicia came home looking disgruntled, but having gotten a promotion to Freelance Article Writer, so it clearly wasn't all bad. Then a few hours later, Ophelia arrived home in a new uniform for work:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7803/46394490684_db22beae3b.jpg
That's right, she's the Team Mascot now! Go Team!
After dinner, there was a knock at the door, and since Ophelia's always wanting to chat up more people, I had her answer it. And there on the other side...
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7881/33242747498_737a95c075_c.jpg
So, she invited Caleb in for a chat:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7903/40153440563_b3cca11ed4.jpg
Then, proving how brave (or is it foolish?) she is, she went to bed while Caleb was still there. He just sat there reading. Finally left at 3 am, both women unbitten:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7828/32176151617_04cc709b74.jpg
Wednesday
Wednesday night after work, she got a call from Marcus. "I can't get you off my mind. Do you want to go on a date?" Sure! So off to Chez Llama they went:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7914/46394486864_14761b48a2_c.jpg
An exchange of cell numbers, alittle okay, a lot of flirting...
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7843/32176148757_ca4f036453.jpg
A photo-worthy dinner...
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7855/32176148277_7b25cf5d75_c.jpg
And then...
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7841/46394484024_c64874ecbf_c.jpg
And because Ophelia doesn't believe in just letting things sit, she asked Marcus to be her boyfriend, which they celebrated with a kiss and a selfie:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7885/46394482884_bdf92163ff.jpg
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Saturday, just minutes after Ophelia headed to work - in the rain - a visitor stopped by Stuck Together Stucco... Clara Bjergsen.
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7861/33242717358_cc8659f66a.jpg
Felicia had taken out the trash just moments before Clara showed up, and stood out in the rain by the trashcan hoping to avoid Clara.
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7819/33242717038_57dbd0cb1f_c.jpg
When it finally became clear that she just couldn't stand there any longer, Felicia headed back inside... right past Clara, and left her standing there. Gotta love Loner sims and strangers:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7862/32176126357_8703fb9f64.jpg
After the work day for Ophelia, it was time to head to the Romance Festival! Clearly Ophelia was going to invite Marcus, but she and Felicia - despite their differences - have become really good friends, so Felicia and Maximiliano should come along, too:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7861/47118105741_05e8733f80.jpg
Not bad for her first ever painting. Even though the quality is Poor, it adds Flirty Ambiance 2 when enabled :smile: :
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7901/33242695578_ac6212ba1d_c.jpg
Then it was time to talk to the Romance Guru about her love life:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7830/47118102951_c7e196496d.jpg
That look! Clearly she doesn't think very highly of the Romance Guru's thoughts of her romantic prospects:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7801/33242692238_ded7b231f3_c.jpg
and here we get to see what was said - "I see... oh... that's the oddest destiny. Well don't make any plans." from the Guru, and the moodlet reads "Sad +1 Romantic Doom (from speaking with the Romance Guru) The Romance Guru has just informed Ophelia that her romantic destiny is filled with challenges and hardships." :
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7808/47118101401_9470fe2a2e_c.jpg
Ah well, take the romance with Non-Committal Marcus one day at a time. Speaking of romance... time to Hook Up Maximiliano and Felicia:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7881/47118100231_e4938f8a58.jpg
Success!
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7852/33242688958_a6fb31b8f8_c.jpg
Then the night was over and it was time for sleep, as they both had to work on Sunday.
Sunday: (included here because I forgot that the new week starts on Sundays even if we don't move to single control until Monday, so I didn't factor the weekly standings until they were in bed Sunday night)
It's New Skill Day! But both of them have to work, so getting those skills up wasn't very easy. However, the day was bolstered by the fact that Ophelia came home sporting a new uniform. Congrats to the new Dance Team Captain! :
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7875/46204242965_c269a1e1ff_c.jpg
Both women did achieve success on New Skill Day though. Ophelia got her Charisma up to 4, which would be needed for her next promotion - perfect timing considering I wouldn't have control over her for the coming week. And Felicia got her Writing to 6, which was a great start to the coming week.
Also, a small makeover for Felicia's room with her promotion rewards now added to her room - the painting and the super comfy chair which is perfect for her Lazy self:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7872/32176091337_3b752d9e5b_c.jpg
Standings as of Sunday night of Week 3 (because apparently my brain decided the week started on Monday, so I factored Sunday's earnings into the standings):
Household funds: §4142
Vault funds: §2428 for Felicia, and §1001 for Ophelia - writers get paid more, and get bigger promotion bonuses than athletes do until the last three levels, thus the major discrepancies in vault holdings.
Promotions: Both earned two promotions each this week to get level four in their respective careers - Ophelia is Dance Team Captain, and Felicia is Advice Columnist.
Aspirations: Ophelia moved to milestone 2 of her main aspiration, with one objective left before moving to milestone 3. I also started her on the Curator aspiration, and she completed milestones 1 and 2.
Week three's update coming soon!

Thursday, Felicia came home with a promotion - Advice Columnist! That means she's achieved Level 4 in her writer's career. No picture because it happened while Ophelia was on another date with Marcus. This time to Rattlesnake Juice, where people kept interrupting their date:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7808/32176142637_0f49a994b7.jpg
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7911/46394479004_c0fe35ae87.jpg
They finally headed to the back porch, where they could be alone:

Friday was Love Day. First Ophelia spent some time at the Oasis Springs Library:
Checking on pen pals, and beating Marcus at chess:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7926/47118141851_d693d29aee.jpg
Then, time to work out... gotta get that fitness skill up before I switch to Felicia next week:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7802/33242721108_6b5097af08.jpg
Speaking of Felicia (who got dragged along to the gym since it was her day off and I thought she might like the chance to watch tv)... is that my lazy sim boxing on her own? Ah, there the Felicia I know... watching tv:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7837/33242720308_86ec6f3375.jpg
Did it! Level 4 fitness achieved. And doesn't she look proud!
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7847/47118139681_c238ea36be_c.jpg
After work, Ophelia called Marcus for a Love Day date, and they headed off to the Stargazer Lounge. What she didn't count on was the weather. Despite the weather, and the interruptions:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7837/47118136871_7f498382e7.jpg
The date was successful (it was actually Legendary!), and so was Love Day:
