It's been a while since I've updated everyone on the state of our little corner of the world. How the days seem to fly...First off, our good friends Mike and Claudia decided to abandon us for the east coast. :P Actually, Mike got new orders and had to move to Ft. Bragg a few months ago. This effectively put an end to our little gaming group for the foreseeable future - at least until Wizards of the Coast gets around to releasing their virtual table so we can play online. It was fun while it lasted, and we did get one last hurrah and ended with an adventure that had some decent closure.
Related to that... With their move, Kevin, their roommate, was out of an apartment. D and I offered him a place to stay at our house for a little rent, and he accepted. His daughter, Elizabeth (Erizabef in Clara-speak) gets along with both kids and stays the weekend as well every other weekend, making for a very full house. :)
We've also been keeping on the lookout for some new gaming buddies. While we miss our friends something awful, we still want to put dice on the table. After posting on some gaming boards and putting a note on Craigslist, we found some folks who were interested. I went through all my old campaign notes and designed a reboot for the same campaign. And just when we were about to start, that week, their schedule got mixed up and they were unable to make it anymore. Luckily, Kevin knew someone else who was interested from D&D Encounters, so he joined in instead and we were still able to play last weekend. And despite being one person short for the encounters I made, we still had a great time. I hear he might be bringing someone to the next one, so hopefully it can game on time again.
And its game off again for FFXI and FFXIV. While we started playing again, I can count on one hand the number of times I've logged on in the last few months. It's just not worth the subscription anymore. We've decided to use some of the savings to get gym memberships at Bally's, as well as put some extra towards credit cards. We finally have a plan to get out of debt.
D has started a home business with Passion Parties. You know, those parties. She's loving the opportunities to set her own goals and rules, all while doing really well in her sales and having a blast at the parties. She's also just opened an online store. I've also added a link on the sidebar. For obvious reasons, it may be a little NSFW, but when you have a moment, have a look. She has a little something for everyone in there, men and women, singles and couples alike.
Colin's doing really well in K12, an online homeschooling program that he attends over at the same home daycare Clara has been at for years. They're both excited for a little break this summer; we're headed to El Paso for Memorial Day, making a 4-day weekend of it and we're taking Alice the Tank (we finally gave her a name) along for her first family road trip. I love Lucky, but the van is so much more comfortable for long-distance travel.
Summer is almost here, and I'm looking forward to it. :D
