Been Too Long
I'm so terrible at writing these days, it's almost depressing. Today at work I thought to fix up my WoW blog, which I just got finished (for the moment) working on, and decided I would try and play catch up.
One thing that I cannot believe I didn't write about was our visit last year (prior to Thanksgiving). Kristie and her boyfriend were moving up to Mass., and brought along Cyndi and Chazz for the trip. Though our time with them was brief (a couple of hours initially; they ended up spending the night, but more on that in a moment), it was fabulous. We have a great deal of it on video, which I'm sure would be well worth it. After we stopped taping everything, we said how we should get it online; but Mike's lazy and has never done it.
The only onfortunates of the visit were that Chazz accidently destroyed a pair of brand new pants that Mike had just gotten (all chains and straps from Hot Topic; very hot... and he's never been able to replace them), and that after they left, the car broke down. Evidently, Kristie and Robbie were fine with camping out in their vehicles for the night, which was all fine and dandy for them... they had running engines and heaters. However, a broken down car that won't start has no way of staying warm in the winter. When Cyndi and Chazz realized that Robbie and Kristie were going to sleep in their cars with no regard for them, they called us up. Needless to say, we picked them up and brought them home where they could get a warm night's sleep.
Hmm. Let's see, Liz bought Chazz WoW for Christmas, so we play with them when they're on (Liz recently got her own computer and a new WoW account just for herself).
Things in RoE have been peaceful, which is nice. For quite awhile, I was beginning to feel rather overwhelmed. My lack of writing has spread from here, to posting. I nearly have to drag posts out of myself now, which is rather sad. I'm hoping that if I encourage myself to write here, I'll write more fiction. There's hope.
Semper Fi is growing so big. He is over a year old now, and massive. Sadly, he's still almost wholly untrained. This is largely to blame due to Grandpa, as he won't listen to what anyone says. Anything we train the dog, would be instantly untrained the moment we left the house. Until it gets too hot, we have been taking him for daily walks, which are quite enjoyable. Semper is fascinated by every tree that he comes across, but then, he is a dog.
Mike discovered that we made a mistake when we got Semper. Instead of keeping him and Kahlua separate, we should have let Kahlua kick his ass. He would have learned that she was the dominant animal of the house and all would be fine; so sayeth a few people on a message board Mike visits (this is what they did with their cats and new Bulldogs, and apparently it worked wonders). There is always the chance that we could get this to happen now, but I think Kahlua has gotten accustomed to staying in her own areas (namely the basement and upstairs).
Anywho, I'm going to go play Brain Age; I've been having a blast with this game. The last four days I've gotten 23, 23, 20 and 25. I so rock.
Oh yes, I'll have to write about California. That will be for tomorrow. ^_^
