Summertime

Hmmm… I’ve only made 4 posts this month (5 now) and it’s already the middle of June. The weather’s improving, the kids are out of school (and at Grandma’s this week - woot! for us!), things at work have ramped up about tenfold, and my posting frequency has suffered.
What Summertime Means to Me

Whenever I hear [...]

Fail

Epic Fail.
At the beginning of the year, I started this blog under the premise of balancing Real Life and Warcraft… somewhat of a New Year Resolution I suppose. Now, almost 6 months later, I can’t say that I have made any progress towards striking a better balance between the two.
It’s pitiful, really.
I will take the [...]

Ah bin sik

This nasty cold/flu/whateveritis knocked me on my arse and I’ve been out of commission for six days now.
It sucks.
I hope to come back to life soon…
In the meantime, if you haven’t already, visit Leafshine’s blog. I’m surprised she wasn’t in my blogroll because I love visiting her site. It’s pretty, leafy of course, and fun [...]

My Great Aunt turned 80

We celebrated her birthday with other family members over the weekend. In attendance were my own family of four and other extended family members, including my mom, two of my brothers - one with his wife and cutest baby ever. We totalled about 21 people, 7 under the age of 18. Not everyone could make [...]

Report cards arrived

The Son dramatically improved his grades this quarter. He had a few Ds and an F in Chinese. He kicked butt and brought that F up to a B and the Ds are now Cs and Bs. More than anything, we now know he is capable. His first quarter was his very first as a [...]

Back on track

So I’m wanting to strike a better balance with Warcrafting and Real Lifing. I’m constantly justifying Warcrafting to myself while at the same time berating myself for not doing x, y, or z in Real Life. The Hubby assures me he doesn’t expect me to do anything as bringing home the bacon is a pretty [...]

The bad thing about busy weekends

It’s great fun to run around and do stuff on the weekends. But come Monday morning sitting at your desk in the office, it feels like you never left. I’m not sure if three-day weekends would be the solution, or maybe better time management? Going to bed at a decent hour might be a start. [...]

Busy weekend ahead of us

And it starts with tonight. Both kids will be at Auntie’s while the Hubby and I attend a 40th b-day party at The Crystal Ballroom’s 80s themed DJ night. It sounds like fun. Then tomorrow we drop off the Daughter to babysit her younger cousins, the Son may be staying home or going to a [...]

And the winner is… Propel!

Last night was my daughter’s school science fair. She’s been working on her project off and on the past few weeks. She wanted to determine if Gatorade, Propel, or water would help reduce your heart rate when exercising. She’d drink x ounces of each before running up and down the stairs in our house. Granted, [...]

So, what now?

Ok, no to do list. The task at hand is to adjust my perspective. Instead of:
“I don’t have to do dishes because I’ve worked all day.” How about?
“I’ll do dishes because my husband lovingly made dinner.”
Hmm… this might not be fun… discovering how selfish I have been. Ooh! Ooh! Here’s another one:
“I don’t need to [...]
