So I put this board on the fridge because the kids always wait until after we go to the store to tell us we need something. One kid drew a smiley. I turned it into a robot. So apparently we need a robot. And toothpaste.

I just did something I never thought I’d do. In fact my immediate instinct when she asked months ago was to say “NO! Absolutely not!”. My oldest daughter is 18. She has a fiance. They’ve known each other since we were stationed in Washington. They went to school together, had always been close friends. Then, eventually it became more. After graduation he went into the Army, and as luck had it, he was at Airborne training here in GA when we arrived. He’s stationed in North Carolina. They’ve maintained a long distance relationship for quite a while now.
He asked her to spend the holidays with him while he’s on leave, visiting his family in Florida.
As I said, my first thought was just no. The problem with that is
a. She’s 18.
b. she is a good kid.
c. he is deploying
I don’t mean she’s basically good, I mean never EVER has she gotten into trouble. Not a bit in 18 years. And she’s never done anything to make us not trust her. Nothing. No sneaking out, no partying behind our backs, nothing. She spends her free time at home now, but in WA it was hanging out at her friends house, and going to Youth Group and church.
And he is deploying. I couldn’t in good conscience deny her this time with him before he goes. There will be other holidays for us, and this year, our gift to her is allowing her to spend HER time with him.
Maybe I’ll get some Cool Mom points for this one.

Look at that corpse right there. Do you know who that is? Arch Druid Staghelm, most arrogant, nasty, rude, ignorant, level 10 baby druid abusing jerk on Azeroth. And he is DEAD! That’s right, DEAD. I’ve waited six long years to kill that bastard after the way he treated my druid at level 10 on her bear form quest, and the way he talked about Tyrande. You’ll see Kae from Shades of Kae standing there, and that Pally down there tickling Staghelm’s feet, or stealing his shoes would be our fearless raid leader Twice. It may not have been the druid that killed him, but it was one of the team.
My priest. Jesswyn. I don’t know how it happened, but I have completely fallen in love with the priest class. I know, I’ve played a priest, on and off, and even deleted her once, for the last four years. But I never fully enjoyed her, until I went full shadow. Then they screwed that spec up with crit and I deleted her. But Blizz restored her a year after. I recently just leveled her to 85. She hasn’t been used since she was horde side with The Purge. The last thing she raided was Naxx. Before that? Kara.
Now, I don’t know what happened. But it just clicks. I find boss strategies easier to pick up with her, I don’t get flustered as much with spell rotation when I have to move or stop casting. Maybe it’s because I’m not also trying to concentrate on HoT uptime and healthbars in an unfamiliar healing role like I ended up doing with Jessmyn the Druid after the resto changes? I don’t know. All I know is…the class I resented for so long, the toon that I had such bad memories of a former guild explosion with, is my main. The guy that taught me how to heal as a priest, and how to start off as shadow, and listened to me gripe for all those years would be laughing his ass of at me right now. If he still played. Kinda miss that guy
Since patch day, I’ve spent many hours in PvP to get her transmog set, and many more to get justice points and get her geared up a bit. I’ve run the new heroics, and got to be with my guildies in learning the new raid encounters. And we absolutely steamrolled Firelands. I forgot how much fun that is, even though by end time last night I was almost face to keyboard from a stupid cold.

TRansmogged my priests outfit, after a ton of PvP this weekend. I love this tool, I really do. But my priest is the only one to get a complete overhaul.
She is “wearing” the complete Merciless Gladiator’s outer clothing from Burning Crusade arena days. I know there’s a tier set with lighter colors, but she’s a shadow/discipline priest and I thought the darker tones matched that better.
And this mount is so perfect!

I’m trying so hard to focus on my schoolwork even with TOR anticipation running rampant. And now the universe has aligned in such away that my schoolwork is distracting me from itself! Cultural Anthropology ftw.
