Holidays

So I have no school.

Still not at work cause of my back.

So what do I do all day today?

I act like I'm Dwayne :P

Took my food and my Coke Zero into the bedroom and played SWToR alllllll day long. I started at 6:45 as a lowly lvl 1 inquisitor and by the time he got home at 3:45 I was lvl 14 and 1/2. Man that game is sooo addicting, only thing is I can only play it when he's not home or if I have long period of uninterrupted time. I'm not at the point yet where I can log in for about 1/2 hour just to fool around doing like dailies or such. For that I have my Warcraft and I'm not gonna give it up. No way no how.

Dwayne had early access to the game and Bioware is apparently gonna give people a 48 hour grace period while they wait for their collectors editions and other pre-order to get delivered. I know that Dwayne's should arrive on the 23rd. woot can't wait.

I also can't wait for my birthday to come around cause I'm getting a laptop, and there are going to be no kids allowed on it at all. Maybe Dwayne will be allowed on it, who knows. :P

I should find out what my final grades for my first term at school are by Wednesday, when I do find out you know I'm gonna post them. Unless maybe if I failed, then I'm gonna hang my head in shame :(

Getting Kids Mad

I'm in my last week of regular school, next week is exams. UGH Some of my teachers don't believe in giving much class time for reviews. I think I get an hour for math and an hour and a half for accounting. Man I love math and all that but I might need more time to review accounting. There are ratios I have never heard of.

Maybe I'll rethink the accounting specialty for my course, then again maybe not.

My kids have school all the way up til Dec. 22 and I finish on the 16th. Just in time to have a week at home without the kids in my face and wanting on my computer. Although I can just go on Dwayne's comp and play SWToR when it comes out on Dec 15th. Early access ftw. :P

Dwayne found a guy who gets paid for playing games. He was in the beta and as soon as the restrictions were lifted he streamed his game play. He has quite the following, and he plays Warcraft as well. bonus for me :)

That's all for now.

Titles

How do daily bloggers come up with the titles for their posts? I have no idea, I usually just wing it. :P

Had several happy moments and several upsets today.

On the positive side: the scrap metal we had sitting in our driveway was picked up today. Yay The processor that Dwayne ordered for my computer came in. It was a triple core AMD one, and it wasn't expensive at all. It was gonna replace the processor in my trusty Wal-Mart special that I bought like 5 or 6 years ago. It's still going strong, with like no problems at all. "Knock on wood."

On the negative side: My mother board will not support the new processor, it won't even support Dwayne's, and his is only a dual core. Which means I will not get to play Star Wars on my computer this weekend while Dwayne plays on his. I also can't work for god knows how long because I wrenched my back last week. My bones are all in the right places but the doctor on call in the emergency room said it could be a slipped disk, pinched nerve, or plain old pulled muscles. Who knows. What I do know is that I have trouble walking, can't sit for long periods of time, and can't make any sudden moves that involve the waist. Which is like everything!

It's almost time for me to go to sleep cause I have to be at school tomorrow morning before 8:30 to write a math test that I missed last week. Wish me luck.

Tequila

So I went back to school today after a week off. I wrenched my back muscles last week and was having a lot of trouble moving around. I got into class and one of my classmates is a nurse and what she recommends as a muscle relaxant/pain reliever is a shot of Tequila or two. :)

I like that, however as I am an alcoholic drinking just isn't in the cards. Even if it is therapeutic. Oh boy do I wish it was. Normally I have some control over my urges to drink when Dwayne and I go out. I now have a 1 drink rule and it has to be in a mug. And definitely no beer what so ever. Ever.

Why, you say. Well there was a time when I would start the day with a beer and just keep going and going. Maybe sometime during the day I would have something to eat and then again most days I didn't eat at all. All I did was drink beer, coffee and smoke. I didn't really like myself during that time. Not going to repeat that time again, so no drinking for me.

As for my classes I have to write my word processing midterm tomorrow and financial math test on Thursday morning. Most of the others I'm pretty much caught up on. So we'll see how well I did. :)

Star Wars

So they, meaning BioWare, lifted the ban on talking about it's new mmo Star Wars The Old Republic. Yay I can talk about it!!!!! Now in my years of playing mmo's I've tried quite a few. EQ2 Guild Wars, Age of Conan, and Rift just recently. That's just on the computer, for the 360 I've tried Dragon Age and Tales of Symphonia for the Game Cube. And I gotta tell ya not liking what was out there. It all just made me like my crack even more. :)

However I got into the main beta testing for SW-TOR about a month ago and I COULDN'T tell anyone anything about the game, except to buy it when it came out. Now from what people are saying about it now they may not like it and it may not replace their one true game crack.

I thought I wouldn't like the way it gave you options on how the conversations go and how your character interacts with other players and npcs. But I find that I do like it. I even like pvp, and if you know anything about me at all you'll know I HATE pvp and always try to get Dwayne to do it for me. Not that he does, but I try. :)

I play a Sith Inquistor cause you know I like doing damage from a distance. And I like the option for healing as well. Well she does both. But what really sold me on her was that I could be a total and complete snotty sarcastic bitch. Who kills just cause she felt like it. I also have this side kick who wants to kill me at times, but he can't cause i kicked his ass and now he has to obey my every command. Yes I love it.

So I hope that you do at least try the game and if it's not for you then that's OK. I'm not gonna bash you about it. I'm still gonna play my Warcraft cause I love that game to. Hey I can love two games. :)

Crappy

So I'm feeling crappy and lousy. I had a massive headache last week that made me miss a couple of classes. I had to sleep and that was hard with the construction crew still working on the basement. :( and :)

The basement is almost done, hopefully the dust will stop flying thru the air and clogging up my sinus's. A stuffed nose is not fun at all, especially as it is getting colder and cold season is starting. One of the downsides of the construction at my house is that it looks funny without a front porch.
And smaller to boot. We are gonna be putting a porch back on and it should be insulated so maybe it will be useable year round, and not as a spare freezer in the winter. :)

My classes at school are going fine and I''m finding that math really is useful in everyday life. However not everything I'm learning looks like it's gonna be useful. Oh well maybe I'll find a use for it, somewhere, in a far off galaxy in the far distant future.

One thing I'm not finding crappy is my beta testing for BioWare and since I can't really talk about it all I'm gonna say is " Buy this game. NOW NOW NOW"

Exam's

Well exam;s are over and I got most of my marks back and ........... I passed them all with an A average. Even in a subject I thought I bombed on. Organizational Behaviour, a really dry and boring subject dealing on touchy feely emotions and mostly crap like that. I have to say tho that it does seem like I did learn something in the first two months of the class. Now I just got to get thru the next two months and the final exam. Crosses fingers. :)

My accounting is getting harder and for some reason it seems like I'm not having that much trouble understanding it. Some of it is actually starting to make sense, lol

Tomorrow I start Word Processing and Financial Math and not too sure what I'm gonna think of those. Oh well it's time for me to go to bed and hopefully get some more sleep tonight than I did last night.

Some Peoples Children

This past week has been just crappy. Awhile ago our house was broken into by one of my daughter's friends. It was bad enough that she broke into our house, but she had to lie about it. I told her mother and all she cared about was something that was completely unrelated. How pathetic is that? Someone accuses your daughter of B&E and theft and you focus on something completely different.

I'm reluctant to go to the police as it means my daughter will have to give a statement and if it goes to court she'll have to testify. I feel that she's been traumatized enough. I don't want her going thru that. The kid is just going to ignore the little thing she used to call a friend. Hopefully the little thing will leave her alone, and hopefully grow up. But you and I both know that's not going to happen anytime soon.

The only thing I can hope for as a parent is that I teach my kids to respect other peoples property, to not turn the blame on anyone else and to own up to their own mistakes and wrongdoings. No matter how much I may gripe and complain about my kids I love them dearly and only want to protect them. Some times it means protecting them from themselves and even if they don't want protecting you just gotta do it.

That's my rant for this post:

School

Well I've started my Business Administration course at ACC last week and already we have homework and projects due. Oh boy!

One of them isn't so bad, a 500 word paper on what Organizational Business is and how it will affect me in the next 5 years, as well as giving 3 trends and what their impact will be. That one's not so hard and I have a week to do it.

The one that is worrying me is for my Canadian Business class. Everyone in class had to come with a business idea and argue for it in their group. Well I came up with a good one and didn't have to argue very hard for it at all.

Now you may ask what kind of idea is so great that it doesn't need to be sold to other people. That they like it when you just mention what kind of business it is?

Are you ready?
Really ready?

Wait for it.

A teen social/night club.

I mean how cool is that. A place specifically for kids 13 to 17 years old.Where we live there is no place for teens to hang out in the evening. Unless you count 711. So most of the teens in town wander the streets in groups getting into trouble and such. This place would have like a games area with pool and arcade video games. A dance floor with music, and a restaurant like area with a limited kitchen menu.

I'm not going to go into more detail here. Who knows someone may decide they want my idea. :P

I'll give more updates on school and such as I stop being such a slacker.

Update

So again it's been awhile since I posted. In the past couple of weeks I have gotten my learners license and I'm soo happy I don't have to do the GDL. Since I had it before 2001 and I just let it lapse. Now it's all a matter of practice and doing the road test then it's a full one for me.

When we go into the city to see friends this weekend I will be driving. It's going to be nerve wracking for sure. :0

Not much else to report atm.

The Druid

So I've been playing WoW again. This time on Cenarian Circle with rl friends, and I'm playing my druid. Now I have her dual speced healer/boomkin. Yesterday I went into the looking for group for random heroics, I got into 2 as a healer, I thought I was doing well keeping everyone alive (for the most part). I mean if your gonna do something stupid like allow the debuff stacks to reach 100 during the Corla, Herald of Twilight, then it's gonna wipe us. I can't heal stupid. Seriously I can't.

Another dungeon I went in as a healer is Shadowfang Keep. It took two tries to kill the first boss, and then on the third boss. Commander Springvale, no matter what we did, the dps just couldn't kill the adds fast enough, so he keeps healing himself and I run outta mana so everybody is dead. :(

The third time I entered a heroic was a dps and something must have been wrong cause i was second on the dps meters. I never second or first on those things. My dps was higher than a hunters and they have pet constantly and unlimited ammo.


I know i can heal heroics I've done it before. I even healed one of the harder ones with no one dieing, so maybe the dps was not killing fast enough or the tank was too squishy. who knows, maybe I'll try again today.

Perogy Fest

Well another Ukrainian Festival is over with..... and I survived it. Barely. As I probably said in a previous post I'm working in a restaurant, and the other waitress has gone on vacation for three weeks and may not come back. Or at least may not be welcome back. It may have something to do with her not showing up for her shifts and not calling the boss to say why. Either way she's not there, there is another part time waitress who was supposed to help this past weekend, plus a couple of people were hired. The other waitress never showed for her shift and when she did show, she was going from bouncing off the walls to falling asleep standing up. I swear to the almighty that she was on something for she was soooo spaced out that she didn't know where her orders went. and she took them.

One of the people she hired had never waited tables before, he said he applied for a cooks or dishwasher job. I showed him the basics I mean it's not rocket science, but apparently his brain is soo messed up that he can't remember how to work a coffee machine. It has a button on it that tells you to push it to brew the coffee. For doing dishes we have three sinks set up 1 for washing, 1 for first rinse, and then the final rinse before stacking them to dry. He screwed that up too. For some reason when the water in the first one was cold and dirty, instead of changing the water he started washing dishes in the second one. He told the manager that he'd wash her dishes, and not wait on tables(he was insulting and swearing about the customers), needless to say he was fired.

As for the other people that were hired to help out this weekend, not a single one showed. So for three days Thursday, Friday and Saturday I worked basically from open to close. That's about a good 11 hour day. Now you may say I'm nuts. I don't see it that way, I see it as helping out my employer who was in a bind. Her son had to go to Winnipeg cause his son was in a tournament to see if his baseball team would make the Provincials, so he couldn't be there to help out.

For the most part I had a really nice time working this past weekend, the only downside is that my knee is starting to lock up if it is in one position for to long. Then I start walking like I'm crippled and need to be in a wheelchair. Maybe someday I will be, who knows, It may not happen for a long time. At least I hope not. That's all for today.

Computers

Hey everyone it's been awhile since my last post. I know I'm so lazy about it. :)

I had Dwayne wipe my comp and reinstall windows on it. It was running so slow and it seems as if I got hacked or something. My hotmail acct was sending out spam emails and pretending they were coming from Blizzard. Blizzard is the company who has Warcraft, and they frown on those things. And someone was on my facebook acct when my computer was turned off. so needless to say it was time to reformat, the only way to be sure there were no viruses and such on it. Now I'm just waiting for Warcraft to download so I can play on my 2 days off. That's another blog post there, just not sure when. Maybe today if I get industrious. :P

OMG

Like the title says...omg.

It's almost the middle of July and I didn't post anything this month. Bad Ely. :P I'm just gonna do a quick recap of the things that happened.

Brittany turned 15 and spent all of her birthday money at the fair. Her birthday being at the end of the school year, the fair is always in town then. At least she didn't go to Country Fest with all the drunks out there.

We had a quiet couple of weeks and then Zack turned 10. We got him Call of Duty: Black Ops and a Halo figurine. He needs some bad guys to kill with his jedi. :)

And in just 1 more day Dwayne and I are going to see Harry Potter!!! Not taking the kids tho, this is mommy and daddy date time. :)

Coming up in the next couple of weeks is the National Ukrainian Festival, when we go from a sleepy city of around 9000 to bursting at the seems of about 40,000. Who knew that a lot of people like perogies too. :)

That's it for today.

Paladin's



Well I named the blog Ely's Life because of Warcraft and one of my favorite toons in it. A mage. Well recently I started playing a paladin and so far I'm liking it. A pally can play three roles in a group, Tank, Dps, or Heal. Now I've played a melee class before, in fact I've been an off-tank with a warrior during the original Warcraft. Sometimes called Vanilla by those of us who have played since the beginning or near enough to it. :) I myself have been playing since November of 95 or 96, not sure which and too lazy to check right now. Lol. Back in those days Hunters were considered a joke by any serious player, considering most of them were idiots. But if you were to find a good Hunter they went on your friends list for future groupings, or if they were unguilded then you invited them to your guild. I joined my first guild Order of Bahamut with my warrior Errana and I met some really nice people.

I remember that myself and a pally named Bohdica were made officers because we were dancing on tables. :P This was an awesome guild with just the bast people in it, however it was torn apart by a group of players that made it goal of going around from guild to guild to see if they could break it up. Well they did, and it pissed us off. There was a mass exodus of players from the guild and in turn we formed a new guild called OOB. It was a play on the name of the old guild name. Now I stayed with them for a long time. When the Burning Crusade expansion came out I decided to make a new toon a mage. I named her Elystia :) Now while I was leveling Ely the guild was busy tearing thru the new areas as fast as possible to get to the new raids. I went more slowly and was leveling the warrior and priest at the same time. Usually when I was letting my mage get some rested xp. Eventually I just decided that I wanted a break from raiding. I wasn't keeping up with the rest of them and I really just didn't want to tank or heal anymore. I wanted to throw fireballs or freeze things.

Well I've leveled them to max in the latest expac so I decided to make a class that I normally don't play. A paladin. So I did the melee tank and dps thing. Not much for melee. So I decided to try healing on a pally. Now Dwayne said that healing wasn't so bad just to remember that you have no HoT's (heal over time) Well most of my toons have been on the alliance side (hubby calls them pretty toons). I decided to make this one a Tauren (female of course). She is now just a smidgen away from level 52 and so far I'm liking it.

Work

So it's been 2 weeks of working and I gotta tell ya, sometimes my feet kill me. I work for 3 hours a day and almost all I do while working is cleaning. I know it's gotta be done but seriously. This is just something to do for extra cash until school starts in the fall. I'm going back to school, and hopefully getting fully funded by my band. Then if I want to work I can. Probably not going to tho. The course I'm taking does have 2 sessions of work experience in it. As it's a business admin course I'm taking I'll be working in an office. No more waitressing or working in a restaurant for me. :) Yay!

On the plus side of working I get tips. But sometimes you get customers who are really cheap and don't give tips no matter how good the service is. Dwayne and I go out if the service is good they get a tip. If it sucks then they don't. Most of the places we've gone to have good service.

Well that's my rant for the day.

Hockey

Well last night was the final game in the Stanley Cup finals. Vancouver choked and lost it to the Bruins. Oh well can't win them all. What I don't understand is, Yes we lost, but why do people feel the need to go out and vandalize. Really, is breaking windows, starting fires and rioting gonna change the final score? Nope. Idiots. Grow up, stop acting like a baby it's just a game. It's not like your gonna live or die based on the outcome. All it does is give you a bad name and show what a poor loser you are. If you're one of the unlucky ones you've now got a criminal record to show it. For the ones who didn't get caught and charged, I say 'You should have been.'

Now I have a feeling if people out there actually read what I have to say then I'm gonna be criticized. All I have to say to them is 'My life doesn't revolve around sports.' Yes I do have sports teams I cheer for, but I'm not a fanatic about it. I don't feel the need to put down people who don't cheer for the same teams I do. If we do that's great, but if not, you won't lose me as a friend. It just means that if we do discuss sports we will have heated debates. :P

There is my 2 cents worth.

Kids

Well time for another post. I was reading some of the blogs I usually follow and on this one, she talks about she doesn't like playing or interacting with others alot. I say that if your gonna home school your kids that you will need to provide them with other children to play with. If you don't know alot of people with kids then going to the park is a great way for kids to become socialized and meet kids. When my daughter was younger, around 2 or so, I went back to work and she went into daycare. When she started Nursery school she was prepared to interact with other kids and knew how to follow instructions. She was also well on her way to reading and know her numbers.

Now my youngest, I didn't go back to work as he was diagnosed with food allergies and they were pretty severe ones too. I didn't realize how many foods contained milk or eggs. I was making my own bread cause all the ones in the stores contained both milk and eggs. Needless to say that we lived on Rice and Potatoes. No cream soups for us :(

Because I didn't put him into daycare and he only socialized with like 3 or 4 other kids, when it came time for him to start school, he was at a disadvantage. Oh he new his alphabet and numbers and was starting to read, but he did not know how to interact with other kids his own age. It was a huge shock for him. He had the same kindergarten teacher as his sister did and I explained about him not going to daycare and how he might have trouble adjusting to the other children. I was lucky that the school was one that believed in helping kids adjust to new experiences and situations. For that I'm grateful.

For all those out there who don't put their kids in daycare or some such, at least have them part of a play group that meets regularly so they can learn the social skills they will need to survive as they enter the bigger world.

OK off my soapbox now :P

Kissing?

I have a serious question. When do couples stop kissing? The reason I ask is Dwayne and I don't kiss as often as we used to. When we started dating we were kissing all the time. I have noticed that other couples don't as well (I don't know what they do in their bedrooms tho )
Is it a gradual easing off and does it happen to everyone?

I have a theory about it. As couples get closer emotionally they don't feel the need to be constantly kissing and show how they feel to the rest of the world. We just celebrated our 11th anniversary and have been together for almost 20 years and I still feel the same way now as I did then. As a matter of fact I can't see life without him. It is my hope that we will have another 40 or 50 years together.

It is my wish that everyone who is married are still as much in love now as they were on the day they got married.

Awesome

So while surfing the net yesterday a friend came across a news article needless to say it made both Dwayne's and my day. Sophie is coming home to Manitoba, and so are her parents of course. I think they are really happy to be on their way home, but after she gets completely out of the hospital they are going to have to do some adjusting. It's going to be great that they have the privacy again. I mean after spending 3/4 of her young life in a hospital it's going to be different to wake up in her own bed, and not see all the machines that were needed for such a long time. But I've said it before and I'll say it again kids are strange little people and they do amazing things. I pray that when she's old and gray with grand-kids that this will have been the hardest thing she had ever gone thru.

My prayers and others have worked for Sophie now we just have to get Gary on the way to recovery and better. I'll still keep Sophie in my prayers tho. :)

Funerals

Well it's been a couple of weeks since my last post.... again, sigh I'm a bad blogger :P

The past couple of days has been all around sucky. Why you may ask? Well a very good friend lost her grandmother last week and it was prayers and funeral time. I try to avoid going to those at all costs, but this was one I couldn't blow off. The friend is to all intents and purposes Brittany's godmother (if we would have baptized her). Brittany pooped, peed and did that projectile vomit babies are famous for on her. Just because we haven't kept in touch over the past couple of years doesn't mean I don't care about or miss her. It's at times like this I wish I had a working scanner so I could post some pics of her. I took Brittany to the prayers last night but I couldn't justify her missing school today as she would know less people than I did. However Carol did say that she would give us a call before she goes back to Winnipeg next week. I'd like to spend some time with her and catch up on everything and maybe this time continue to keep in touch. I know she'll be in my prayers along with the others.

Osama

When I heard about Bin Laden being killed I had several mixed emotions. First, I was relieved that he would no longer be around to terrorize anymore people. Second, was I hope they fed him to the fishes and that his followers would not be able to make a shrine for him. Now I'm not american so I haven't lived with all the terror that they have but I do have some people that I call friends who do live in the States. One of them has a blog that I read on a regular basis and his post today is one that made me think on Osama's death. How people have been celebrating and others have been openly criticizing them, saying they have no compassion and are inhumane. I like Wind's viewpoint and how he made sense of it. So I invite you to go read his blog and see if you feel the same way.

Life Sucks

The title says it all. One of my friends is waiting for a heart to become available for his daughter. They had gone on a family trip to the Philippines to see his wife's family. When they got back his daughter couldn't shake the cold she had, they took her to the Dr's and after a series of tests she was diagnosed with leukemia. That was harsh as she only about 1 or 2 years old. She was a little trooper all thru her chemo in Winnipeg, she finished it and we all breathed a huge sigh of relief that she beat it. After she had been home for about 2 months she was back in the hospital. This time it was her heart. The chemo treatment she was on had a side effect of weakening the heart (this is a rare side effect they say). Her Dr's in Winnipeg recommended that she go to the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton AB for a Berlin heart. So over a year has passed since she had the surgery and her heart is getting somewhat stronger but not strong enough for her to be weaned form it. I know for her to get a heart someone has to die but I still pray that she doesn't have to wait much longer as every child deserves to have a normal childhood.

Another reason life sucks is one of my brothers friend's was diagnosed with cancer as well. Now this is someone that came over to our house all the time while we were growing up. I don't like the idea that the people around me will someday pass on to a better place. Not when they are young like Sophie and Garry. They say God only gives you as much hardships as you can handle but maybe he can give these two a little less hardship and a little more ease. I believe that I'm gonna start going to church again, if only to give myself some peace of soul.

Feelin the Love

Well in playing WoW I've tried most races and classes. I don't like humans, undead or bloodelf. I like draenai, goblin, gnome and dwarves. I will play the others if I want a change. As for classes my top choices would be cloth casters. The bottom of the list is rogue, shammy, dk, and warrior. Now I've leveled a warrior tank all the way to 80 and left her there. Don't like the melee dps and tanking there's just too much drama going on. The only dk I had I deleted because i just hated that class and most of them are idiots. I have made rogues and shammy before but almost always got bored with them about level 20 or so and them deleted them. this time round I made a goblin shammy
and for some reason I like her (maybe because she's a goblin ) Don't she look cute? As you can see she's level 38 and I'm bound to have leveled her some more soon. I'm really feelin the love for the shammy at this point. Will I get bored of her maybe who knows. I will keep her tho. :P

If anyone comes to read my blog and you play Warcraft what are your favorite classes?

My Dad

Well it's been 2 years since my dad died. For the longest time I kept saying "I'm gonna dance on his grave" OK.... so I know that's not nice, and I haven't done so far so maybe I'm not gonna do it at all. Besides if the person who was his wife kept to her word, he is buried with my Grandma and I love her and would not do anything to upset her (even tho she is dead). Also, I believe in Karma and all that stuff. I do not want to be haunted by the spirit world at all.

My mom told me that after he died he came to visit her and was making some of her stuff move around. No, can not be blamed on the wind or anything like that, she didn't have any windows open in her apt. She told him to go away, and that if he was angry to not to take it out on her. But to go to the person he was angry with. He hasn't been back to bother her since. I don't think he was angry with me cause he didn't come to see/visit me. Maybe the ghost in my apt in Wpg wouldn't let him in, who knows.

I loved my dad, even tho I don't think I mattered to him. God, that's harsh and very hard to admit to myself let alone write it down for the world to see.

Love you Dad and R.I.P

Blogs

So I read a few blogs almost on a daily basis, and I really like it when the authors post. Now not everyone posts on a regular basis, I sure don't, but I do respect the people who do. :) The ones I read are mostly about WoW with some real life thrown in for some variety. I'm a WoW stalker and proudly admit it. :P But seriously I just like to read about the things some people do, and the blogs I mostly follow are all based in the States and I'm way up here in the boonies of Canada. No possible way of me tailing and stalking in person :) I have some blogs on my favorites list that have had no new posts for over 2 years, but do I get rid of them, nope. Why you may ask? Just on the off chance that they may come back and make a post about something they have done in the game that was soo cool they just had to share it.

Oh well who knows if the blog sites ever shut blogs down for non-posting? Well I'm not gonna try it to find out. Uh nuh no way not me :P

Sick

So hubby and I are sick. Not no little cough sick I'm talking bent over in pain coughing sick, where it hurts to breathe sick. I've been feeling shitty for about a month now, Dwayne kept telling me to go see the Dr. and stop being a baby already. I said nope I wait it out like I always do. I'd get better I'd get worse I figured it wouldn't be much longer. So then he got sick. He said it was from standing out in the cold Friday night after the bars closed waiting for a cab. But that's another story :P

Man is he ever a baby when he's sick. He doesn't get out of bed all weekend, still putting it down to being hungover, then the coughing starts, so off to the Dr we go. Now the Dr looks at both of us and was going to tell me to give it a couple of days, but changed her mind when I said it had been about a month or so. She couldn't see down my throat it was so swollen and then she checked my lymph nodes in the neck. I have no idea whats wrong she never said but hubby and I did get big ass horse pills to take twice a day for ten days :(

The Dr did say that Dwayne's looks like sinus infection. Time to go back to bed and hopefully feel better.

Birthdays

Well it was my ..(not gonna tell you how old)..... birthday yesterday. I got a lot of good wishes and hubby made chinese food and bought cake. I don't feel any older but for strange reason this morning I felt like cleaning and folding clothes. I also put on makeup, which is almost unheard of for me. :) My hair on the other hand is starting to piss me off royally, it's at that stage where it's too long to spike it a bit and too short to pin up or put in a ponytail. Now I remember why I never bothered to cut it before, it just takes too damn long to fix and when I do get it fixed I'm not satisfied with how it turned out.
Dwayne always says it looks good.
My mother in law is taking us out for supper tonight to a local restaurant.

That's all for now

Ummm

So..... I know it's been over a month since I last posted. It's not that I haven't wanted to, I have I've even been thinking of what I should post.

On the Warcraft front Dwayne and I rolled new toons on a roleplaying realm with friends. Well I rolled a new one and Dwayne just transferred one of his 80's(he hates leveling new toons). It took me about a week to go from level 1 to level 70 on a healing druid. He says I should level faster, meh. I haven't really been back to my other toons and I'm not sure if I miss playing them. I liked being part of an active guild, but I didn't know anyone personally in there. I might play them again :)

On the home front I'm closer to going back to school and getting my driver's license. I sent away for my high school transcripts and my marriage certificate. I also called the reserve to see about forms for funding and the gentleman I talked to didn't say anything about forms but told me to get together the acceptance letter, cost outline of the course. and some other stuff and fax all of that to him. He said that was so he would have something on hand when he went to council for funding for post secondary schooling. I asked my uncle about it and he said to just do that and not worry about not having the forms. My sister said that I needed forms no matter what I was told. I'm so excited about going back to school.

As for my drivers, well since I was smart and kept both pieces from when I last had my learners waaaay back in 1995, I don't have to do the graduated license crap. The thing is I really don't want to change my picture, It made me look good and wasn't a crappy one. =p I retook the written test back in June and I only had 2 or 3 mistakes so I passed that, but they needed my marriage certificate the legal one issued by the government and not the one given to you after the ceremony, or a copy of the marriage license. I was like, really no other place required that when I changed everything after we were married. They were like well you did that within a year. But I was like they were government offices just like this one and they were fine with the certificate from the ceremony. Them well that was then and this is now. Oh well I'll have it now so HA HA there.

I think I should leave it there for now. Hopefully it won't be so long before I post again :) but then again you never know.

Life

Did you ever have a song running thru your head and it just won't go away..... well I do and it makes me laugh. Ya know I really miss the music of the 80's, they just don't make them that way anymore. :( I was thinking about the 80's and just laughing at my memories. I could wear 4 inch heals, walk around all day long and never have to worry about falling down or tripping. Over the summer at my mother's I found my grad dress (she crocheted it for me), and we got Brittany to put it on. Now my daughter is my height and almost the size I was when I graduated from school. Her chest is smaller than mine. :P For some reason I don't have any pictures or if I do I can't find them anywhere.

So back to Brittany trying on the dress, I put it to the length it was for the dance/party part of my grad and she's going 'Mom it's too short' I was telling her I normally wore skirts and dresses that short while growing up. It barely covered my ass. :P and I must say that I had awesome legs back then. It was a time of preppy people everywhere. My older brother was scared that I was gonna turn into one (shudder), I never did. I made my own style :) I liked some of the preppy clothes, but I liked to spike my hair and have the dark eye makeup. And while I didn't actually wear army boots I did love my hiker boots (baby blue in color) with jeans tucked into wool socks.

Ok enough of going down memory lane for me :)

Happy New Year!!

Well another year has gone and so much has happened. All the kids are a year older.

I've put my foot down and decided that my mental and physical health are important to having a happy homelife. I may still give in once in a while but not to the extent that I did before. Got to cut out the stuff that gives off negative vibes and only keep the stuff that is positive. It maybe that some people are not talking to me anymore but oh well, that's life.

On the kid front Brittany got her laptop for xmas and we haven't seen her much since. :) She also has her second boyfriend. This one doesn't look scared of his own shadow and is cute as well.

Zachary asked Santa for a NintendoDS, and Santa came thru for him along with a couple of games for it.

Matthew.....well all he got was clothes :P

Hubby and I are holding off on each other's gifts since his birthday is in 2 weeks and mine is 2 months. He wants a new hard drive for his computer, and I was thinking of a family ring for me. I can dream can't I, he will get his tho.

Well that's it for now.
