The Orclette and Wulfa

Thursday night the Orclette was on edge. We had spent the evening stuffing our van as full as it could possibly get. Our house looked emptyish. Friday morning she woke up at 5:30 with the rest of us and wouldn't let her daddy out of her sight. 6:30 they left and our weekend of fun began.

We started by watching "The Holiday". I settled down with my coffee and chocolate, she had her Fiber One poptart. And she cuddled up on my lap for a good hour, something she hasn't done before. I'll admit: that movie will now be ranked among my favorites simply because of the memories associated with it. The Orclette just doesn't sit still very often.

We spent the rest of the day lying in bed watching movies, walking to the store to stock up on more poptarts and light Pringles, and playing WoW. Well, I was, not the Orclette. She conked out at 6:30 that evening leaving me free to play to my heart's content. Got Beowulfa halfway to 70 that night.

The next day was much like Friday. Very relaxful, very indulgent. More eating in bed and getting crumbs everywhere :D I spent quite a bit of time traveling over the various WoW continents getting xp for the Halloween candy buckets. Dinged doing that, as a matter of fact. Once again the Orclette fell asleep at 6:30 and I started gearing Beowulfa up. Stayed up way past my bedtime-almost midnight! Damm and Moon got back around 3 that morning. Damm woke up the next day horrified that he was covered in crumbs :D

Not very exciting, but it's the first time that we've had fun for an extended period of time. It makes me look forward to when she's even older and I can take her to amusement parks, bookstores without stressing that she's pulling all the books off the bookshelves, etc.

Might I add that I will hesitate before ordering from Amazon again? I ordered the 3rd season of Gilmore Girls more than a week before that trip and it still hasn't arrived. grrrrrrr. and grrrrrrrrr. You should know that one of my guildies strongly reminds me of Luke, series regular and the perfect match for Lorelai (one of the two Gilmore Girls). Luke frequently starts on rants, you see, and in fact is rather famous for his "rants." If Luke were to play WoW I'd describe him as a cranky bear. And after reading several of 3B's most recent blog posts the resemblence became clear. 3B would make a perfect Luke.

On a final note: Devilsaurs are AWESOME. Beowulfa hunter and Wash ran around doing quests this morning and they have developed an even stronger bond. I loves my devilsaur :D

P.S. If you are getting bored with your weight routine, bring a 16-month old along. She will attempt to do squats, therefore making you laugh. She'll sit on your stomach while you do bench presses (without the bench, didn't feel like carting it to my room). She'll pat your head while you do pushups. She'll try to help you pull your head up as you do crunches (I guess it does look like that's what I'm trying to do). She'll attempt to lift your weights, then pout when she finds that she can't, and you'll laugh because it's funny, and then you'll get side stitches. Go ahead. Try it.

OMG, Wulfa! You are SO right on the BBB = Luke comparison. I had never seen it, but now that you say it, it makes so much sense. Thanks for the giggle!

Aww sounds awesome! It really does get better as they grow older... so much more to DO with them, although they do get much cheekier with it! ;)

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...

Werewolves are always better.

The question answering post will come tomorrow. Sunday was too busy. I just finished reading Twilight and New Moon . When I first started Twilight I wasn't impressed, it seemed slow and bleh and very teen dating girl story. Last night I got home at about midnight... I picked up New Moon. I was only going to read the ending to the scene that starts in the back of Twilight.... I didn't get much sleep last night(due to finishing New Moon). I'm loving the series. Although, wow these vamps scare me. Why? Because they are harder to kill. After reading the first book I spent 20 min thinking of counters. For a counter to be valid it has to be balanced. I can't just say "I'm superman and Vampires are deathly allergic to me and I heal like wolverine and have a robot army." (although when I ran into the aliens from Alien/Aliens/AvP for the first time, my counter at the time was almost exactly that.) I came up with the Dancer. He's a completely normal ...
