Two, and three.

We made a castle today. The resident princess demanded I add a window for just this reason.

Orclette got a box from grandma and daddy opened it without thinking about what it could be. So early birthday presents all around. Look at our birthday present!! He naturally adopted this pose and I had to rush to grab my phone camera. The bear sings "Jesus loves you." Here she is telling it to hold still for the camera. Excited by our new clothes. Posing and smiling after efforts to calm us down. He was a little bit startled by the attention. Yes we were THIS excited about the birthday presents.

I was on the final week of INSANITY. The final week. And then all of the little maladies I've been struggling with combined with my schedule and Damm confusing caffeinated coffee with decaf to trainwreck my INSANITY workouts. I think my thyroid might be acting up. Technically it would be slowing down-hypothyroid-but you get the gist. My mom, my aunt, and my grandpa all are on medication for it. At one point my levels were enough to warrant medication, but they went back to normal range with the addition of vitamins, minerals, and some diet changes. But I've had excessive fatigue, trouble sleeping, brittle nails, and tingling in my hands and feet. So I'm starting to take complex B vitamin pills, Selenium, and cutting out all foods that suppress thyroid function. If that doesn't help I'll be making my way to the doctor. The reason I'm not making an appointment now is my symptoms could also be related to overexercising. I've done it before-and comboed it with ...

The wounds are too fresh.

To all those who know us in WoW: We've officially suspended our accounts. We just don't play enough(less than log on per month) for it to be worth it for us anymore. I still fully expect to be back playing when Cataclysm comes back but for now we wait out of the game.

A couple of different things have happened this summer. First off, Calculus grabbed me by my skull and knee-to-face action began. Then, History followed up with a pipe wrench to my nads. Then, job demands picked up a very large rock and squished mine and wulfa's free time like a bug. And finally as I lay on the ground head spinning with integrals and european politics of times past I realized I had nothing else to do in WoW and no desire to log in. And that I had nothing of interest happening. And then? And THEN? The world cup. Yeah there goes 6 hours of my day at least every morning that I don't have school. A moment here to sit in silent reflection for the goal that was wrongfully taken from the world. And yeah the WORLD FREAKIN CUP. I'm a soccer fan who doesn't know much about soccer. I'm more of just a fan. I LOVE watching it. I get passionate about teams that I've never seen before. I fall in love when teams overachieve(New Zealand), set new rec...
