fantabulous

My kiddos looked fantabulous for their Halloween parties at school today! I had fun helping in Vernie's class. I need pics of the kiddos all done up, but for now here's Ej & me goofing off after walking home from school. I'm not sure what he's doing to his hand there. Maybe eating candy? :p

Last night's raid was even better than fantabulous! Dissension finally got the Lich King down! I was so proud of us. :) Oooh, and Ari got a new mace. So awesome!

And it's Friday! I heart Fridays. It doesn't get better than that. (Well, it does, but I'll take it. :p)

/hugs!

made me laugh

Yep, smile every time I see this one. :p

Now here's hoping for a good raid tonight!
Happy Thursday! :)

a good run, Kinderbear and naptime

I had the most awesome run last night! I did a 3 mile temple run. (An outdoor run up in the Draper temple neighborhood - so fun and oh so hilly & I'm totally getting better and better at it!) It was brr-frickin-cold & windy, but I felt good and just had an awesome run. :)

Elijah brought home his class bear today. We took him on our walk to the library & the store. Fun stuff! Ej's being all cute about his "very lucky sleepover day." Awwww... :)

Kirsten came home from school all hyper. She must have had a good day. lol

Maiah didn't sleep very well last night. I'm hoping we can cuddle and have a nap soon. Sleep sounds so awesome right about now. :p

I'm trying to decide what to make for dinner. I had leftover pizza for lunch and am stuffed, but am sure the kiddos will be hungry. :p

Yeah, it's totally naptime first though. Then I'll feed the kiddos. Then to the gym to sweat & watch Glee. Then some WoW before bed. 

Sounds good.

Have a great day!

beautiful

I love this tornado monkey's little face...

...and I love Fridays.

Have a great one!

without

Here I am blogging without pictures again. My apologies. I've been meaning to blog for days, but have been distracted with real life stuff. 

So yeah, here's a haven't-blogged-in-days sort of update. :)

Brandon made it home from Arizona tonight. I missed him. He had fun. It was a much-deserved break. :) Thanks Kenyon, Jeanette, Brian & Beth!

The Office makes me laugh. lol Yep - Brandon's home. ;)

I think Maiah missed him almost as much as I did. :)

I walked/ran more than 8 miles again today, including walking to the gym.

We should know by the end of this week if my passport application goes through. I hope. 

Brandon's hasn't arrived yet. I wonder how long it takes.

Elijah & Maiah have watched How to Train your Dragon like 50 times in the last 2 days.

I'm making banana bread again since B didn't get any of the last batch. :p

The pile of clean laundry needing to be folded is entirely too big.

I'm trying to help Kirsten with her math homework. 2 girls who are not so great at math trying to figure this out is kind of comical. :p

Mmmm... that bread is smelling so good.

I wish we had a bathtub. A bubble bath sounds so good right now.

Yeah... Vern has resorted to helping K with her math. :p

Alright, it's time to take some headache meds, fold laundry & pull the banana bread out of the oven.

'night!

fixed

So I still wasn't 100% happy with Ari's ui, which meant tinkering again today while I did my dailies. Much better. :) This time I kept xperl's config window open to show where the raid frames and such go. The decursive box fits nicely as a 5x5 between the two. (Any guesses as to what my favorite visible personalization is? No it's not all of the pink or the swirling/turning runes like my family guessed. It's the Lore & Pain target macros that make me smile the most. lol Aren't they cute?)

Now to make sure I still love Leilah's. And to grab another slice of leftover pizza. Mmmmm... I have to fuel up to run later. I'm going for a long one today - see where my endurance is at.

I hope people are having an awesome weekend! I'll try to get some actual pictures for this little blog of mine. Meanwhile, yeah... Have a good one! :)

Friday

Happy Friday peoples!

My day has been a good one. 

I spent this afternoon perfecting Ari's ui and finished getting her gemmed up as good as I can for now.

This screenshot is with all of her auras showing - most of the fluff only shows up as needed in fights. Her party window shows above her portrait and her raid frames go above her action bar, below decursive. I shrunk her  main bars after this, but yeah. (The low health, inner fire & low mana warnings above the target frames are the only thing that stayed the same. I'm sad nui wasn't working, but I do like playing with bartender, powerauras and xperl. lol)
We had yummy pizza for dinner. Mmmmmmm... I love the Pie. :) Specifically, I love their xtreme veggie pizza. Does that look yummy or what? Uh hunh.

We're watching two good movies in our jammies...

If I were 12 I'd have a crush on Jaden Smith, but I'll let Kirsten take care of that and continue to crush on his fab-u-lis-cious dad. ;)

I made banana bread. Yeah... we're addicted. :p

I ran a 9 minute mile at the gym today. :) It was only one mile, but yeah - I was happy. I need to keep having workouts & runs like that.

Maiah & Vernie are playing & she's laughing. I love her little laugh. She's refusing to wear clothes today though. Crazy little monkey. :p

Yeah, not a bad sort of day at all. In fact, I kind of liked it. :)
