Still alive and kicking here. I've actually started playing a new MMO AION. It's a lot of fun.. though mostly I think I just needed a break from the wow grind. Most of my Idaho guys have moved over to it as well. Work is going ok so far. I got split off to a new group, so seniority isn't as scary anymore. Things are still going awesome with the hubby. We ended up buying a new car. 

The new car story was kind of amusing.. the brakes were going out on his 1998 lumina. Now, the lumina is a really good car for being so old... it barely has 30,000 miles on it. One of my work friends was kind to us and sold it to us at trade-in value when Zach didn't have a car. It belonged to his wife who barely drove it. We took it to a brake store, who referred us to a dealer. The dealer quoted us 2k to get it fixed.. ick. We paid less for the car than it was going to take to fix it up. Off to the dealership for us. After a few headaches, we got the hubby man a 2009 civic. While the car payments suck, we're happy he's in something that has a good warranty.  After that.. we find out a friend who has a mechanic friend said they'd look at the lumina.. and we managed to get it fixed for 500$ total. (300 to replace the master cylinder, 200 for other work and getting it inspected) So, now we have 3 cars O.o.. kinda weird. It's good to have a car that's completely paid off for backup.

I ran into The Paco at Fry's yesterday. It was nice to see him, though I think I weirded him out. Unless I'm losing my mind, I have gone to dinner with him before With Toxico at Chuy's (back with my ex) Also saw him a few times at the bubble tea cafe in Garland for events for my ex (like his birthday). It was a long time ago, I guess I shouldn't be suprised.. maybe I was thinking of someone else. I just remembered the way he looked. *shrugs*. It was kinda embarassing but I guess I'll live :) I will always enjoy Paco's rants though!

I have three level 80s again! Suprisingly, the third one is not my rogue, but instead my shammy. I worked really hard and pushed out the last three levels in a day and a half. This morning was dedicated to the cats.. they were not the "awww how cute" kind of cats today. They were more like: http://www.twolumps.net/ I spent a lot of this morning cleaning up unsanitary messes. Ugh. Job stuff isn't looking so hot, I really HATE being lowest senority. If I don't get really, really lucky, I'll probably end up being back to "Thank you for calling.." Which is about as much fun as a white hot poker to the eyeball. The only thing that keeps me going is my awesome hubby-man. He's absolutely amazing. When I'm grumpy he cheers me up. He shares the housework and errands. He is sweet, kind, considerate, and damn good looking. We still haven't had a fight in over a year! Coming up soon will be the anniversary of him moving to Texas. I think I'll suprise him with an awesome steakhouse dinner. Any suggestions for the DFW area?

I'm kinda looking forward to when the hubby and I can have kids.. I know we're not ready yet. Maybe it's the biological clock screaming at me. I've been working out fairly often now, (about 5 days a week again) and feel like I'm getting on the bandwagon after having fallen off on my ass. I've been working on my warrior more in WoW, I really want some more DPS gear for her. I've become a good padawan to my friend Lare, who is an awesome DPS warrior. I'm still primarily a tank, but the DPS helps me not to get too bored with her. Got my shammy her epic flying, and she's 75 now. O.o So.. 2 80s on the way to three. I know people with a lot more 80s, but geez, I feel like I overdo it sometimes. Have to say I still love WoW though, after all these years. After all, it got me my sweet hubby!

I'm up to the point where I'm a raid leader on two raids. One 10 man Naxx and one 10 man Uldar. The good news is... my priest is finally getting geared again. The bad news is.... OMG SLEEP. I has none.

I reached out to a few friends that I thought I'd lost due to the divorce thing way back when, and found out I was being dumb and they still like me. They're going through some really rough times right now and I wish I could help.

Migraines suck! I'm having to apply for FMLA now, getting them too often with the way work does absences to cope.

Sadly, on my server in World of Warcraft, being a well geared tank is almost as bad as being a warlock used to be. When I played my warlock in pre-bc wow, I would get 15 tells an hour "Can you summon me to x?" Now I get almost that many "Can you tank X for me?" I love tanking.. I have four tanks.. but that is a bit much! The hubby still is my pocket healer though. I have to admire his masochism.. err decdication in being a holy paladin. *grin* I tease him about it. I however know I would go insane trying it. However, he is now dual-specced tanky, so I get to be his pocket healer sometimes too. Every day I realize, he's the perfect guy. He accepts all my faults and doesn't mind them. He even takes my joking and teasing about being younger. I couldn't be happier with him.

So... in the interest of being sappy:

I met my husband in World of Warcraft. I was playing my rogue Starstream in CoT to help a friend get their Karazan attunement. Old Hillsbrad even. The healer for the run was a paladin healer. I had never run a dungeon with one. I started talking to him some, he was friends with a lot of my "Idaho boys" in the game. I took him around to geek out about all of the plot in the dungeon. (it has a lot of characters from other parts of the game, and happens in the past) Started flirting with him and it just kept going from there!

Anyone got fun stories on how they met their significant others?

Well, good news, I'm now engaged! My sweet love popped the question! He had a huge plan of getting our friends to point bows / guns at him in wow and propose there after raid, but that had bad timing. So... he went for a more traditional approach, but I still approve *grin*

Today I hit 190 pounds! I started dieting at 216. I'm so happy!

Hiya, this would be the person formerly known as nightwisp! Sorry for the sudden change without warning. I've purged all of my old entries, wanting to get a new start on my journal as my life has been changing so much. I'm still working on getting my place together and replacing stuff the ex is taking with him. I've got some fun stuff going on in my life that I'll post about once things are more settled. As for life, well it's still mostly work / eat / sleep / game except for now I'm working out some and I've been losing weight. Hopefully if I keep it up I'll end up thin and sexy *smile*
