Weekend went by in a blur! Got in some game, did some work around the house, and caught up on some much needed rest and relaxation. So, in typical weekend intelligence fashion, here are the highlights!House and Home:
We were kinda a bunch of bums on Friday. I had a great talk with my wife about some issues I’ve needed to air for awhile now. I don’t really feel like going into the details here and now, but I feel more connected with her than ever before. We celebrated the end of what was one hell of a week with beer and pizza. There was no real FNLE scheduled to speak of, so we drank and gamed (in one way or another -.^) most of the night away.
Saturday, I wanted to focus on getting the front room a little safer for baby to play. As it was, there were stacks of old mailers, papers and pens and all sorts of wrappers and discarded trash that never made it to the trash can. Not a safe place for the baby to use as her primary play area! We went through most of the mail, found homes for the toys that didn’t belong there and picked up the trash.
Her molars are coming in, so the poor girl has been particularly wretched lately. FYI: If you want to use Children’s Motrin on a child under 2, you have to make the dosage calculations (mg/mL) yourself based on the concentration in the infant version. Don’t throw the box away! D:! We also made our WalMart run Saturday evening before Kirin. More on that later.
We made it to the main service on Sunday. On the one hand, I’d love to be able to make the really early service, ‘cause it leaves me with more day and we get breakfast in the bargain. On the other, it was really nice to just leisurely roll out of bed, get some pancakes together and go to church. Most of my spare time was spent finishing up my CCNA chapter on IP Networking and the DoD model. Subnetting is next – oh boy! -.-
After Dynamorz – Valkurm, we decided to go to an Italian Restaurant to celebrate DeAnn’s Birthday. Colin made the cake during dynamis, so we set it in the fridge to cool while we went out. Clara has been slowly evolving into the dreaded Triple T (Terrible Two’s Toddler), and tonight she let loose! Screaming and hollering, throwing packets of sugar and silverware, tossing her food and cuppy on the floor, pulling on the tablecloth and generally being an unholy terror. It’s likely the last time we’ll bring her anywhere nice until she can behave herself, meaning it will likely be the last time we go anywhere nice period for quite some time.
We had some birthday cake madness when we got home. You see that flaming ball of sugary goodness at the top? Yeah, that’s her cake. I won’t tell you how many candles were on there, but I will tell you the heat coming off the cake was more than what was used to cook it, and that they could probably see the light from space. I love you, honey! :D <3
In Game:
There was no real planned FNLE this week, so Keri and I spent most of our time goofing off in game doing campaign battles and ops and trying to get our rank up, and drank copious amounts of beer and a whole bottle of port. I got my Golden Star, and she got the Bronze Star. My next rank will give me an emblem! We ended our in-game fooling around to go play a different game. -.^
We didn’t do much in game on Saturday before Kirin. We had three of them scheduled that evening, so we decided to get as much done outside the game as we could. The three Kirins dropped two osodes. Neither of which I was allowed to lot… There is a policy on the osodes that, unless you can afford the rental fee up front, you can’t lot them. In other words, you can’t go negative getting an osode. This was to discourage people that were only using the LS to get an osode and leave. I was 15 points shy of being able to lot, from lotting the Cleric Cap last Dynamis I was at, so the osodes were slated for sale. I understand why they can’t make an exception for me, but it was still a real kick in the pants. Instead of furthering our sky goals, we’d rather sell it and pad our bank. Brickhouse agreed to do a point audit for me and said he’d get back with me Sunday about it. DeAnn fell asleep shortly after Kirin, so I was left to my own devices the rest of the evening. I did some ops on PLD and leveled to 39, bought and fished some more Moat Carp and cleared some room out in my mog house. Rounded out the evening on the 360, playing some demos – nothing coming out really wowed me.
Sunday’s gaming was for Dynamis – Valkurm. This is one of those dreamworld dynamis’ that are needed for Dynamis – Tavnazia access. While gathering for this, Brickhouse did an audit and found 3 FNLE’s that I lead that did not get points. Not that I lead FNLE’s for the points (they’re fun!) but the points were definitely welcome at this moment. Shortly after, Zhefer sent me a tell thanking me for leading sky when he couldn’t, and presented me with one of the osodes that dropped the night before! I was absolutely giddy: I’d wanted one since I was a Lv55 MNK and saw my buddy Dashen wearing one. I thanked him, and told him that as soon as my studies are over, I’ll be back at the sky hunts.
Dynamis didn’t go so hot. One of our pullers died in a really bad spot, and in trying to extract him, I ended up taking aggro and dying. The mobs eventually moved and Chic was able to get me and Capt, but still kinda embarrassing to be one of the better extraction WHM’s in the shell and I end up needing the rescue. >.< We wiped on the boss and could not recover from it, which was a big disappointment for all involved. After dinner and cake, Keri and I did the quest for her Retrace scroll, and got her gate crystal for Recall-Meriph.
Colin and I are going to the Spurs game tomorrow using the tickets I won from the radio station. Spurs vs Celtics on St. Patty’s Day! Time to break out the green Doc Martins and have me a beer! ^_^/
