I think this may result in the longest and most boring game of fetch, ever...It's very cute and inventive, as are many of the pics on icanhascheezburger.com I just polished off a tasty lunch of peanut butter and jelly and a glass of milk. Mmmm, nothing like washing down peanut butter with ice cold milk. I think I will have another glass!! Yummy! I know that most of you would expect me to be sucking down coca-cola like it's going out of production, but an impasse has been presented. BJ suggested that if I were to give up my coke addiction, we could try to pay the subscription fees for wow. Of course I have a case of coke relaxing next to the kitchen, with one out of the 32 being gone, I must ration it out to wean myself off this sweet and tasty beverage. Of course I leapt at the chance to get back into the virtual world of azeroth. I'm so happy to be playing world of warcraft again. I love playing with my newest character, the death knight. She can just keep on swinging! Now I am back to the evils of system maitenance. The world server is down for extended maitenance until, at least 3 pm. I already downloaded the latest patch on my computer and must load it onto BJ's, so that we can terrorize the computer monsters after he gets home from work. Because I work on the weekends we have decided to relocate our valentine celebrations to this Thursday. We are going to go to the movies! I'm very excited. I haven't been to the movies since I went with Mom to see Bolt in 3D when she visited before Christmas. Huzzah!!!

Poor unloved blog


I have been seriously neglecting my blog lately. And, as it seems to be one of those days to just chill out in front of a tv or computer, I might as well make something useful out of it. It's cold here in Georgia, and in a effort to save money on our gas bill, we are keeping the thermostat at a brisk 64 degrees. In attempts to stay warm and moderately comfortable, I have stripped the blanket off the bed and cocooned myself in it with a space heater occasionally running at my feet. A space heater, you may say, defeats the entire idea of saving money because you are just spending it elsewhere. Well, yes and no, we are spending money on the electricity to run the space heater, but the space heater only has to make us warm, not the whole apartment. And I frequently turn it off once I am comfortable, thus saving more money! Woot!
In other news, I have discovered that Blizzard is being very very sneaky. You can try out their latest expansion on a ten day trial if you already have an account. BJ and I both have inactive accounts because, in another heroic effort to save money, we cancelled our subscriptions and save about $30 a month. So for me, the wow junkie who has not played in about 6 months, the ten day trial = heaven!!! From what I have seen of Northrend, and all the various new things that have come out, I am mightily impressed with Blizzard. This xpac is ten to twenty times better than the old burning crusade xpac, which, while new and interesting, definitely has its flaws. So yeah...the restart should be just about finished...Catch you later!
