Bullets

- The Young at Heart Fair (including Fireworks)

This was awesome. The boys had so much fun. They rode too many rides, played too many games, and had too much fun. Trenton also found out that he is big enough for all the rides now, even though I don't think I am ready for it. LOL.

- My night on Friday.

Friday night was awesome. The boys went to Scott's mom's house. So it was just Scott and I. I get home from work, and Scott has steaks cooking on the grill, salads ready and Julienne Au gratin potatoes. Oh my. When dinner was ready we turned on the movie "Pursuit of Happyness" That was a very good movie. Made me cry. After that, we went for a walk up to Dairy Depot, where I proceeded to enjoy a Strawberry Cheesecake Sundae, with no little ones to steal it from me. It was most definitely a very very nice night. I loved it.

- Trenton and his need for trouble. WTF?

Trenton was doing so well to boot. He had had a wonderful weekend. Everything was good, the fair, fireworks, spending the night and grandma's, and the grandma's and grandpa's. So why did he do it? Why did he bite Nathan? Why in holy hell did he bite Nathan in the penis? TELL ME!! I have no idea, but let me tell you. That child felt the wrath of Mama. I did not hit him, or put him in a corner or anything of the like, but he knew, he knew he was in sooo much trouble. He couldn't see straight. At any rate, he now knows the errors of his ways and will never do that again.

Nathan, btw, is just fine. It was through his jeans. I shudder to think if he was wearing just those thin shorts what would have happened.

- Krys moved to Neriak

I moved. I did the citizenship quest. Quick and easy, toured the city. Neriak is awesome. I love it. The minute I zoned in, I knew I was going to move. I had been teetering on the edge of not being sure. But hell, the zone is awesome. I think the crafting area was the all around deciding factor.

- Krys works on her new home.

I purchased myself a new home. Gotta love it. I think the address is 8 Walk of the Dead way. So I moved from a three room in Freeport, to a 5 room (6 if you count the foyer) house in Neriak. All my stuff basically fit in 2 rooms. I am going to have to make/buy more stuff. So far I have my bedroom done, save 2 items, and the library done, save two items (that was the stuff I had plenty of, lol). I started working on the dining room. I had to buy stuff for that. I would say it is 1/2 way done. I was going to buy the carbonite sconces I wanted for the hallways. T3 you would think would be cheap, hell on the broker for 34g. !5 of them, the number I want. 5 for each hallway. So now I get to make them. Then I will do an alter room, right next to the library. (which are both upstairs). The bedroom is the basement. Then next to the dining room, I will do a living room. Going to rig up a couch and such. A small fireplace. (I have will have one in every room) The the foyer, some ideas swirling around in my head for that. I hope it comes together soon. =)

- That's about it. I think.

There coming

The locusts are coming!! The locusts are coming!!!!

=)

5-21-07 EQUpdate

Krystalea: Lets see. 269/350 Transmuting now. And I think that's about it on her. Although I did hit 89 aa's, and about halfway through that one. The thing that sucks about the Transmuting, is I can now farm the T6 stuff, but seeing as the mobs are green, the armor drops are in the 50's but the stinking adept books are, well, 60. So I have decided to just sell all that I can't transmute and spend 3/4 of the money on buying stuff I can. Just want to be in T7 and then the trans should move nicely on that. =)

Zymeria: Finished up the hat quest. Sitting at 72 aa's now. Defiler tree is filled out the way I want, now I don't know what I want to do with the shaman tree, lol. I just can't decide. Tinkering is now at 203/350. I really really hate loams.

Myrinna: Hit 53 weaponsmith.

Zephina: Nothing there. I may decide to play her, I don't know yet. Too busy with my others.

Attalyne: Hit 65 Carpenter. No more rush on her. She will get 70 by the expansion with just a few combines a week. One day a week at lunch and she is done.

Arzania: Hit 32 woodworker. But, I have been playing her and having a really good time at it. She is now level 31, and about to ding 32. She has 21 aa's, which I just figured out one tree to spend on, lol. Still have no idea where to go after that. But I am enjoying playing her. Right now I want to play her hard and see where I end up. But we all know my streaks, and this could be one of them, where I play her for two weeks and then she doesn't see the light of day until the next expansion.

RoK: I am still really really stoked about this expansion. I just need to figure out a class to play. I really am thinking of making a tank this time around. I don't have one of those, so we shall see. As for the tradeskill class, I have no stinking clue. Only thing left between me, Scott, and Modex is an armorer. And Scott said he was going to start working on his as he is T4 I think. /shrugs. If he does that I may just go alchemist, so I don't have to grind so stinking hard.

5-21-07

No more titles. Just the date only, heh.

Been a while. Lets see what I can come up with.

Mothers Day weekend went well. We didn't do anything, much. Took my mom out to breakfast. I didn't get any cards or anything. =(

Although, that Friday prior, I thought my video card had died. My monitor started acting all goofy. Lines and blacking out and such. So, I hooked it up to Scott's machine and seemed to be working fine. So we went out and purchased a 512 video card. Woohoo. Really nice picture. But as I was playing, you could see where portions of the monitor were a little dim. I was thinking that was odd. Brand new video card, picture should totally be crisp and clear. Well, the next morning, my monitor crapped out. The thing is only 5 months old. So as we stand now, my monitor should be delivered today to the company and I am using a old 17" CRT monitor and its disgusting, rofl. So used to my 19" wide flat screen. /sigh

Normal week this week. Been nice outside, so I have been sending the boys outside to play well I spring cleaned the house. Well now that I think about it. It wasn't a normal week after all. I spring cleaned because it was needed, but also because of the fact that Nathan's Birthday party was this weekend.

Anyways, I took Thursday and Friday off, and that was absolutely wonderful. I didn't do anything. Okay I lied. I played EQ for several afternoons and then took a couple naps, hehe. It was so nice. Friday was my birthday, and Scott let me sleep in. He got Trenton ready for school and took Nathan to daycare. It was so very nice.

Speaking of Nathan. His party was Sunday and he made out fairly well. Grandma made a Spiderman cake. That was really cool. She also brought me a gift, which was the silicon baking set, five pans, and then a bundt cake pan. So cool. I have to make a cake this weekend. =) Anyways, Nathan got quit a few gifts, almost all related to spiderman, and they had a friend to play with, so we rarely saw them except at cake and ice cream, and present time, lol.

Nathan also had one really bad incident yesterday. Poor guy. They were across the street playing, when I hear a little boy crying and Trenton was helping him across the street. I come running out to see what was wrong and Trenton yells Nathan got stung by a bee. Oh shit, was the first thing that came to my mind. So I forcibly set the poor child on the ground and rip off his sock and shoe (he got stung on the ankle). Well first thing I noticed (or two things at once) no stinger and he was stung twice. After my initial, I don't need to call 911 for an allergic reaction, I calmed down, took him inside and we got him all fixed up. Turns out, it is a wasp sting. Bugger nailed him twice as well. Poor little guy =(

And now here we are at Monday. Gonna run the EQUpdate on a separate post, as I sure this one is very long by now, rofl. I have to run to Nathans school today for portfolio day. Will be very fun I believe.

Catch Up

Life in Krys's Household.

Trenton: I believe has finally learned to ride a bike. Yay. But he still has problems with starting and stopping, so we will see how that goes. He had a really hard time with it. The thing with Trenton is, well, he is hard to describe. He is a follower and not a leader and he really doesn't have a lot of self confidence. For him to try anything you almost always get the I cant do it whine. I try really hard to boost him up, I also do little things, like make him look around him when walking, instead of the ground. I always say hi to people we pass hoping he will pick up on that as well. Its funny, when he finally does get something, he gets really really excited. I wish he had more self confidence.

Trenton is also getting on my last nerve when it comes to sleeping arrangements. He has never been a good sleeper, and he especially likes to sleep next to someone. Which I don't mind. He starts in his bed, and always ends in mine. Fine. But the other night was the last stinking straw ever. He refused (outright refused) to sleep in his bed. So to just get him to sleep, I laid him down in the backroom, until Scott got up for work, and sent him into my bed. At 3:00am he woke up, and started throwing a hissy fit because Nathan had crawled into bed and was next to me and Trenton was not. Seriously, major fucking meltdown. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper. After that and the arguments, he lost his privilege of sleeping in my bed. That was hard for him to handle last night. But in the end he survived and got a good nights sleep.

Nathan: Nathan is, well, Nathan. He is just the happiest go lucky kid. Very confident, and knows what he wants. And what he wants is anything to with baseball. OMG. The boy could play baseball approx 5-6 hours a day. I cant. And that just drives him bonkers.

He made me the cutest little present for Mothers Day at school the other day. Its a Popsicle picture frame. It has his picture in it (of course) and then glues on the Popsicle sticks are little buttons, and then at the bottom it says "I know how to push your buttons" LOL

Scott and I are doing really well. We are getting our tree in the back topped off and trimmed, hopefully to bring it back to life. The tree guy is going to take 40ft off the top of the tree. And I don't think that is half of the trees height. Bah. This month is busy busy. We have Mothers Day, my birthday, Nathans birthday, Memorial Day, and of course the Young at Heart fair. Yay.

EQLand: Got through HoF with Zymeria last night for hat updates. That's about it. =)

The Most Wonderful Pic

Of Nathan Ever.

EQland

Been a while so EQ first.

Krystalea has now gotten her transmuting up to 215 I believe it is. I still have quite a few combines to go, but I am lacking the ambition to tradeskill at the moment. She dinged 88 aa's and is halfway through it. I haven't touched a quest since I left Lfay about a month ago. I need to get back to that, now that the expansion has been somewhat announced. Also, I now have 5 pieces of my armor now. If I could get back to Unrest and Castle Mistmoore, I would have my chance at the rest of it.

Zymeria dinged 71 aa's last night. That finishes off the defiler tree and now I need to go back to the Shaman tree. I have no idea what I want to do there.

I started playing my little fae swashy again. I got her up to level 26 and with 14 aa's. I think what I may do is betray her from Kelethin to Neriak when that opens up and make her a brigand, as opposed to creating an Arsani, I know that is spelled wrong. But that is my plan I believe.

Nothing in tradeskills. Like I said I have had zero desire to do that as of the past few weeks.

The Guild will more than likely ding 27 with this writ night. Those are fun, especially when you get several people together and just massively maim, maul, and slaughter the mobs. When the guild hits level 30 and I can purchase the 5 room house, I may (not entirely positive) move Krys to Neriak as well. It depends.

Rise of Kunark. I am soooo excited. Epic weapons, the return of Sebilis and City of Mist. Yay. Guild levels and Class levels up to 80. A new mount, the rhino. What really intrigues me, if I am reading this correctly, is that you have the new starting city for the sarnak, which is Tim Deep, and that is level 1-20, then to progress you need to move to old world or EoF to raise up your levels. So my thought is that this expansion will hopefully be mostly T7 and T8. How much is that going to rock?

Now the question remains. What adventure class and tradeskill class is my Sarnak going to be??

Ewwww

I am not your typical girly girl. I play video games, I only do my hair and makeup when the occasion calls for it, I like fishing, I like cars, and generally animals of any nature don't bother me. That is until last night. OMG.

I was getting ready to take a shower and was the clearing all the boys stuff out of the tub, when this huge ass centipede came running out. This thing was like 2 inches long. 4 billion legs. I screamed, and went running into the living room for Scott to save me. He was just sitting there, staring at me. I just turned, pointed my finger and said "Go kill it!!!"

That was not a pleasant shower to take, as all I did was look at the drain waiting for another creepy crawly to come out of it. When I get done with the shower, I go out and talk to Scott for a minute. I asked him why the hell he did not come running when I scream. I mean for the love of Pete, I don't scream that often, there is obviously something wrong. He said "Well, you never scream about crap like that, I just sat there in shock over the fact you were creeped out by a bug." /nods uh huh.

EQUpdate: Krys hit 217/350 in transmuting. Yay. Dinged aa 88 last night. I think that is all.

Quickie

My two boys. Nathan is in the red and Trenton the grey.



This is a picture from the trip to Galena. Trenton is in the middle.

EQUpdate: Krys got her forearms last night. 5 down, 2 to go. /cheers
