A picture’s worth a thousand words. These two…are worth a million. Even if those words are “squeeeeeeomgomgyay!! repeated ad nauseum.

In Honor of Shark Week
The death knights at Death’s Rise care about sharks too. So much in fact, they needed blood samples to research (or something). So, I, being the animal lover I am, helped attain them. I tried asking nicely. But, that didn’t go well. Surfing was fun though! Oh, yeah…she has two daggers now, ya see that? That’s right, full on assassination rogue right there. Stealth, poisons, mutilate…yummy. ...

V is For Valor
I mentioned a while back that my husband earned an award while over in Afghanistan. At the time I didn't have the whole story, and it wasn't official yet. However, I do now, and it is. He received copies of it yesterday, since he won't be here for the ceremony. He'll receive the originals when he gets back from school. I'm very glad I didn't know then. I was torn between hugging him, clobbering him, or doing...

The Shadow Knows
What does she know? Well, she knows The Purge slaughtered Lord Marrogar. Ratters tells the tale way better than me. I’m just here to say, ya know…I think I’m the guild stalker. There sits Ratshag, minding his own business. But that clearly isn’t HIS shadow now is it? Nothing, and Noone is to big and bad for me… Yeah, I see you pretty boy. The shadow knows. Oh yes, she knows. And I don’t care how many sp...

OMG I Have a Car!
I can’t stop saying that. I, as of yesterday morning, have my first car. hubby got home Saturday, and as planned we went to start looking on Sunday. What we didn’t plan on was finding a vehicle that day that we couldn’t pass up. Nor was I sure we could even get financed, since I’d only cleared our credit card debt (again) a couple months ago. But we found one, and we did. We were looking for an SUV. Either a Yukon, ...

Day 51: The What If's vs The Control Freak

I had myself an epiphany today. I am not in control. I am NOT in control. And that is OK. I can’t sit here and dwell on the "What If" anymore. All I can do is deal with the "What Is". Obviously there will always be a worry, with a soldier deployed in a war zone. But BESIDES that, there’s things I just can’t dwell on. Such as…

1. What if he gets hurt? I love him, I support him, I take care of him.

2. What if he develops PTSD? I Love him, I support him, I take care of him, even if it means kicking his ass til he gets help.

3. What if he changes? Well, he’s loved me through several changes that weren’t all for the better (friggin hormones and brain chemicals!). For Better, For Worse, I love him.

I love him, he loves me. That’s What IS.
