Sugar to the Rescue

Sugar ready for bed

Sugar is so funny. Not only did she rush out the door this morning when I tried to take the kids to school, and squeeze her chubby self into the back seat of my Jetta (in the small space between two carseats), today she has spent her time running about rescuing crying children.

Yes, you would think she would have tried to sit up front with me, but she is insistent that she ride with the children. She belonged to an elderly couple, and while they didn’t have children, they had grandkids. I’m not sure how often they were around, but apparently she has an instant liking for little ones.

Tonight my husband was putting the baby (toddler, he is 14 months) to bed, and of course he was crying. The bedroom door was shut, and my daughter cracked it opened, and Sugar did not hesitate to push her way through that crack and hoist herself up onto the crib and see what this crying was about. She wanted to make sure the baby was OK. After she had checked things out, she promptly left the room.

School, Life, and Aztecs

So life as been busy as usual. I got to play Aion for about 2 weeks after release, and only for a few days. I think I made it to level 14, and there my account sits. Perhaps one day when I’m old and retired I will get to return. As far as my blog, It think I will just post about what is going on in my life to keep it updated, and perhaps other interesting tidbits that I find, or maybe an interesting article or two.

So last night at dinner I suggested to my husband that we take CPR lessons, and should take my oldest daughter too. Of course my oldest daughter responded with, “Eww! That is stupid. I’m not putting my mouth on someone else’s! That is gross!” So never, ever hang out with her when you could be in a situation where you might need to be resuscitated. She did get a 1% in human services on her career test at school after all.

We have been studying lowland and highland Mesoamerica in archaeology, and so last night I had a horrible case of insomnia. It would be what I call Aztec insomnia because I couldn’t get the Aztec out of my mind. I spent all night writing an Aztec poem for creative writing in my head. I did get up and jot parts of the poem down, thinking that it would help, and my head felt empty when I returned to bed, but as soon as I laid back down, the poem returned. The images of Aztecs slinking across the floor to tribal beats as my poem was being read didn’t quite help either…

Dean’s List

Woot! I just got a letter from the college saying I made the Dean’s list! Not bragging, but I just don’t have anyone else to tell, so I figured that I would tell the Internet!

Intern at Citadel of Sorcery

I’ve recently been accepted as an intern at MMO Magic, working on the upcoming MMO Citadel of Sorcery as a level designer. I am pretty excited, not only because the game has quite a few intriguing aspects, but also because as far as writing goes I am now doing something that is more in tune with my heart. I love writing fiction. Of course I enjoy writing interviews, articles, and such, but creative writing is really where my heart is, and I love that I now have a professional outlet to express that artistic ability. It also works well since I am going to school to get a degree in creative writing. If you haven’t checked out the game you can do so at the link above:)

Paul Presley is so Sweet!

The last week has been pretty horrible for me.  At the beginning of the week I caught a virus, which gave me a nasty sore throat, runny nose, and a slight fever. I saw my doc, and he said everything was inflamed, and since I am pregnant he didn’t want to take any chances, and he gave me an antibiotic. Well I started taking the antibiotic, and the next day I had an allergic reaction to it, and my body broke out into a rash.  I called the doctor, and he said to stop taking the antibiotic, and everything should just run its course.

Legends of Norrath- The Other Evercrack.

Legends of Norrath has completely sucked me into it’s void. I think I can easily say that it has sucked other’s in as well. It seems that since this card game was released it is also more difficult to find groups, and there are tons of people standing around AFK. Guildmates and friends will log in, say hello, and then go afk for hours. There can only be one explanation and that is Legends of Norrath.
