I'm Back :)

Wow its been awhile. So much has changed over the past few months. First of all, I'm no longer the leader of LNW. I am a lot less stressed now. Leading stopped being fun, and I gotta say, I enjoy being a member as much as I once enjoyed being the leader. Carrie is doing a fantastic job with the group so its all good.

Holidays were less than desirable. Is it selfish/rude of me to expect my loved ones to take this one time of the year to dote on me as much as I do them? Course I don't HAVE to help them out. I could get a better paying job, get my own place, etc. I'm not naive enough to think that my parents will live forever. My parents aren't anywhere near ideal health. I have this big massive fear that the minute I step away, will be the minute that something happens to them. And thats why I stay.

Right now its just past 4AM. I am playing World of Warcraft and listening to the Backstreet Boys. I'm in a guild now in WoW so its a lot more fun, since I have people to talk to. I got the guild invite from someone I met playing W101. His name is Robert. He doesn't play wiz anymore, so I'm glad that we can stay connected through WoW (and fb of course). I'm so gonna mega-blush if he reads this, but we have tons in common, and I really like him :) *sigh* if only he didn't live in Florida :(

I just finished watching Good Will Hunting and White Oleander. I hadn't seen GWH before. It was ok, but I've seen much better stuff from both Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. I have seen WO before and I still get freaked out by Michelle Pfieffer (sp?) character. And I didn't notice before, but the kid that does the comics was also in Almost Famous.

Anyway.... my guildies have begun chatting again so I best jump into the convo. L8ER.

Ms. Fix It to the rescue!

Hello friends :)

I am so proud of myself! Yesterday I was entirely Ms. Fix It. I fixed the shower curtain rod, and the ceiling tiles. Both of which no one else in my house was willing to fix. I always tend to be the go to person to fix stuff, which is kinda annoying. But at least its a way to make myself useful.

Needless to say, I plan to spend today relaxing before heading back to work Wednesday.

I watched both the old and the new Willie Wonka movies. The old one I think is better, but I think Johnny Depp was a great choice to play Wonka in the new one. I am a little agitated at some of the minute changes that were made. Such as Mike TeeVee now brings his father the teacher instead of his mother. I don't like how the Oompa Loompa seem more snooty than in the first movie. But I do like that they show Wonka meeting the Oompa Loompa.

I'm pretty wiped out so I'm gonna hit the hay a little earlier than normal. Everyone have a great night/day.

Why must things always be dumbed down??

Hello Friends,

So I started a new character on WoW this morning. The only character I didn't have was a human. I have played human before, but I must have deleted them. I guess its been awhile since I played human, because I remember all the defias guys in the starting area being agressive (red named), now they are passive (yellow). I used to spend so much time trying to figure out how to get the containers of grapes out of the vineyard without dying 10 times. Now I just have to walk in and get them. This seriously pisses me off. I worked hard to get other characters through that and now a 2 yr old could do it. I don't even get why they would make that area easier. Its the starting area, so you wouldn't be much higher than lvl 3 or 4 when doing this quest. I was also disappointed to see the Kobolds in the mine in the same area were also yellow. I hope this theme does not continue with other places near goldshire and wesfall.

In other news, I just upgraded my computers from AVG 9.0 free edition to AVG 2011 free edition. This edition has a new feature that I really like. It can scan your comp and let you know about things that could cause performance problems (like needing to defragment, missing links, registry errors, junk files). Once you do the scan, you can choose to download a PC tune-up program that will fix the problems. The first use of the tune-up is free, after that you can buy it for $30/year. This comp (big laptop) had over 3,000 issues and it fixed them all. My comp is running faster, but I did free up space from the hibernation files which could be the reason. My small laptop only had 769 issues. I love AVG and its the only anti-virus that I will use. I definitely recommend it, if anyone is in need of a good anti-virus for free.

Man am I tired. I think its the time change that is messing with me. And now I have really bad heartburn. :(

Everyone have a great night/day.

Back to work!

Hello Friends :)

I have done it! I finished Stargate SG-1, all 10 seasons. I started on August 29th and finished yesterday at 8PM. I have to say the ending sucked. It had no wrap up, almost like the writers new they were gonna do a movie afterward. Speaking of the movie (Stargate: The Ark of Truth), I absolutely loved it for every reason that the last episode annoyed me. It managed to finish the storyline, while letting me believe that the characters continued on and lived happily ever after.

That being said, after The Ark of Truth, I watched the second movie (Stargate: Continuum). This movie for me was stupid pointless and annoying. I never really enjoyed episodes where SG-1 went to a different time period, or an alternate universe. So the fact that this entire movie was in an alternate time AND reality, pissed me off. The movie was literally a piece of crap, if for nothing else than it didn't stay with its own storyline. Obviously Bal went back in time to change the future, but (follow me on this) Cam went back to 10 years before Bal to stop him from changing the future. But when he was successful in doing that, he should have disappeared. Simply because, with the past back to normal, he would have never had to come back to the past to save the future. We clearly see in the lockerroom the picture hanging in Cam's locker of him in the past with his grandfather. Now all this leads me to believe that not only did Bal alter time, but also moved them to a different reality. But that means that SG-1 didn't save their world, they saved another world. They are in fact still in the alternate reality. Which is why the movie Stargate: Continuum is a piece of crap movie.

To anyone who read all of that (and understood it), I applaud you, lol. In other news, I go back to work tonight. I am looking forward to it, if for no other reason that I will actually be making money. I have enjoyed this nice relaxing week off though. Maybe I'll thank my manager for giving me the 5 days off... or maybe not (she might make a habit of it). I'm gonna go back to work pumped and ready to kick some @ss. And on that note, I should get a good night (err morning) sleep.

Everyone have a great night/day.

Last Day Off!

Hello Friends :)

2 of my cookbooks arrived today :D The Crock-pot book and the How to cook if you don't know how book. The only one I am still waiting on is the Stove top book.

I've looked through the 2 that I have and have found some dishes that I'd like to try first. Having looked over most of the recipes, this will not be as easy as it should be. My parents (especially my dad) are very picky eaters. I wish there was a way I could make them eat without knowing what was in the dish :p

The 3 recipes that have stuck out to me are; Chocolate Coffee Bread Pudding, Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew, and a Triple layer no-bake cheesecake. The pudding has actual brewed coffee in it, which I find quite interesting.

Today is my last day off before going back to work so I am going to relax as much as humanly possible. Tonight will end up being movie night. I should be able to finish the last 3 episodes of stargate sg-1 (tear) so I should be able to watch the 2 stargate movies. Then I have Bridget Jones 2: The Edge of Reason coming via Netflix today. But then I also have an episode of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice to watch before tonights episodes. And then, after all of that, if I still have time left, I have 2 episodes of 90210 and one episode of Survivor to watch. *Sigh* sometimes I think I watch too much TV.

Everyone have a great night/day.

btw LNW officers, no meeting tomarrow night, obviously I am quite tied up.

grocery day!!! yay!!!

Hello friends :)

Update on the computer desk situation: the problem has been neutralized. its nice to be able to see the desk again. I should've took a before and after pic.

Yesterday was sit around in my sweats day. I did cook dinner. We had rib-eye steak and perogies :D it was absolutely devine. I spent most of the night catching up on shows that I had been neglecting (Hawaii 5-0, Survivor, Big bang theory). I got most of my list done just have stuff from last thursday and a couple of 90210 episodes left.

Cookbooks have still not arrived yet. Grr. Today is a busy day, its all about the shopping.

I'm about 5 episodes away from being done with Stargate SG-1. Its sad that its coming down to the end. I imagine that it was better to watch it as it was airing, since you didn't know it was the final end.

Elections didn't go so well from my view around here. The worse of 2 evils got the governor's chair. A lot of local school levies failed. This is the kind of election that makes me question whether or not the process actually works.

Its time for me to sleep. Everyone have a great night/day.

What to do with 5 whole days??!!??

Hello friends :)

Well, I get the next 5 days off, thanks to a manager who holds grudges on people. Just because I called off last Saturday (which by the way, wasn't even her shift), she cut my hours way down. Hopefully it is just for this week and things go back to normal next week.

I have no idea what to do with my 5 days off. I need to tackle my computer desk at some point, it looks likes one big pile of mail and dvd's lol. I feel like I should do more than just play video games and finish off Stargate SG-1. Speaking of, I just started the 10th and final season of SG-1. Next on the list will be the stargate movies and then on to Stargate Atlantis.

My cookbooks have yet to arrive so I can't do anything in that respect. Hopefully those arrive sometime this week.

Anyway, I best get some zzzz's. Everyone have a great night/day.
