I have gotten my death knight almost to level 71. I haven't played her that much this past week. I have been playing and leveling a new Cabriella. Instead of moving over Camaryn from Kirin Tor, I decided to start over with a new baby night elf hunter and do with her from the beginning what I didn't do with the original Cabriella. I will not be leveling enchanting that is for certain. I am also leveling a baby gnome mage along with her named Tikatee. They currently reside in the inn in Stormwind and are both at level 28. It is really fun and I am taking lots of screenshots to preserve the memories of leveling in Azeroth now as opposed to when the destructiveness of Cataclysm hits and destroys all the lands as we now know them.
I will be making a human hunter and a worgen hunter when they become available. I am in no hurry though. I may even try the goblin race on the horde side. I do not plan to do any faction changes at the moment. I may do a race change when that comes available. Not sure on whom :)
School is going great. I have 100% in all my classes for the last two weeks. I am going into my third week this week. It is really something I am enjoying.
Last night I played on Nazgrel with Sinnadyn. He played his druid (Layzerface) and I played another toon I am leveling Farrah (Draenei Hunter). We played around Astranaar for a couple hours and I gained almost two whole levels. She is now almost level 26. It was most enjoyable.
I have become the proud owner of a guild. I was on Cabriella leveling and someone invited her to their guild. I said sure why not. As soon as I joined I was promoted to guild master and the dude left the guild after saying C-Ya. I had to laugh and then I got to work on seeing what was what with that guild. I have about 9 members that haven't been on in nine months and they were immediately demoted to starter ranks. I opened a guild bank tab and ran some dungeons to fill it and opened a second one and it is now almost filled. I put all my alts in the guild, my daughters alts in the guild and some of my old guildies alts are now in the guild. It's like coming home. The guild name is Crafted Heros. We have a bright purple tabard. It's great! And it isn't a bad name really. Lol :) So once again, Cabriella's Corner now has a Cabriella toon that it can once again stand for. Grats to myself on moving on and letting bygones be bygones. I am a happy little night elf! :P

School and Gaming
Well, my first week of school is over and I am now starting into my second week. Grades came out today for last week. I have 100% on all my grades in all my classes. I am so happy. I was hoping game time wouldn't impact school to the point I couldn't play much. I am happy to say that didn't happen and I did really well.
In the game, I got my Death Knight to level 70. She went to Northrend and quested in Valiance Keep, a couple other places, also the airstrip area(which I hate) and has now been parked in the inn waiting to go to Amber Ledge. I am finding I love playing her and that is saying alot. I didn't think I would ever like playing a Death Knight this much. I still love my hunter and mage though, so no plans to make her my main.
Off to do the homework thing and then to bed for early classes tomorrow.

First Week of School
This has been my first week of school and it has been absolutely great. I never imagined I could like school as an adult as much as I did while I was a child. In less than 20 months I will have my Associate's degree in Psychology.
In the game, I am leveling my Death Knight. Her name is Cayelia. She is already level 66 and questing in Nagrand. I respecced her Blood and found a good rotation and she never loses much life, unless I pull too many mobs that is. One on one she is great. I am loving playing her alot more now than I did before. I even made enough gold to purchase her flying mount. Camaryn, my main is on a different realm and I didn't have her funding to buy the mount. I had to earn it on my own. Camaryn is on the realm Kirin Tor and my friends are wanting me to move her back to Nazgrel and join their raiding guild. I am not a raider. I am not sure how I would do in a raiding guild. I love my alts too much. It was sweet of them to even ask the guild to let me in and I promised them I would think about it. If I move her back, I am renaming her back to Cabriella. I changed her name when I moved her to the other realm but am now ready to go back to the name she originally started with. It was personal reasons that I changed her name but those reasons no longer matter anymore. Let's just say I got over it and am moving on.

Well I have done it now....
I enrolled in college full time. I am excited about this move in my life. I will have an Associate of Arts in Psychology degree in about 20 months and then it will be on to my Bachelors degree. I start classes August 24, 2009. I also got my hair cut even shorter and also changed it to strawberry blonde in color. I love the cut, but am not crazy about the color.
As for Wow, I have been leveling some of my alts a bit and trying to get rid of some of those low level ones that I have strewn across many realms. I do not know how I got so many. I need to level my mage on up to level 80. She is currently at level 65.
I also have to work on her tailoring and on Camaryn's enchanting. Both are high in level on their professions but not maxed out.
I am trying to find time to play more and now with school I will have to get myself a routine going. I think it will be worth it :)

A Very Happy Birthday...
Today is my birthday. I am 47 years old. I am spending it with my grandsons. Family is very important to me. I promised my grandsons they could come spend the summer with me when they got out of school for their summer vacation. They had been looking forward to it since I got my own place way back when. I had told them I had to have my own place first since my daughter didn't have room at her place when I stayed there. We have been having alot of fun.
As for the game, I have played some, but not as much as I would like, since the kids have been here. I did manage to get my son interested and he has downloaded and installed the game and is in the process of creating a character. I see more game time in my future as I introduce Azeroth to him and his wife. I can't wait.
I have been playing my mage again and also playing my death knight. I love my mage, she is arcane specced and has been since I first started playing her. My death knight... is just ok to play. It isn't really hard to play her and I think maybe the melee kind of fighting isn't the best style of play for me. I love my hunter and my pet tanking is awesome. I miss that on my mage, but I love playing her anyway. I tried a warrior once and it wasn't for me. I also have a level 59 pally but like the death knight... I just can't seem to get it. I have struggled through the levels...But, I will keep trying and hopefully I will get an understanding for this playstyle. Or well, here's hoping.
I have alot of alts. I like playing them in the early stages, the leveling to me is addicting. I don't mind the same quests over and over. I actually like it because I know exactly where to go and what to do. I have too many alts though to fully get a good understanding on how to play them as well as I do my hunter. Since my hunter is level 80, I plan to take each alt to that level and maybe doing so one at the time, I will better understand that class. Playing this alt then that alt does not help the situation at all. So maybe this new game plan will work out for me. Again... here's hoping :)
I have not been updating my blog much lately but will try to do that more often with more playtime. I am looking forward to it actually. I have a nine day vacation coming up here soon and after that... game time is on!!!

Being A Parent Of A Disabled Child
Means that I have a job, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
So don't tell me to go to work and things would get better.
How dare you!
Who is going to take care of her while I work? Do you know anyone that is capable and trustworthy enough? I won't leave her with just anyone. She is my heart and soul and if something happened to her and knowing she can't tell me, I would just die, literally!
Walk a mile in my shoes buddy and lets just see how far you make it.
If God blessed you with a normal child, then I am happy for you.
I have a handicapped child and she requires my full time attention.
Come back and talk to me when you have tended a handicapped child for 20 years.
Changing diapers several times a day. Bathing, feeding, cleaning up the vomit when she is sick, trying to figure out what is wrong when she is upset and can't tell. If your child can't speak to you and can't tell you what is wrong, yeh, good luck with that one.
And let's not even get into dating, or relationships for the parent of the handicapped child.
You are embarrassed to be seen with us in public so you walk 20 feet ahead and pretend you don't know us?...lol way to win points in the heart of that mom! NOT!!!
Staying home, its the normal thing for me. I don't go out, I don't run many errands. It takes me at home to keep my daughter safe and happy. I am told by those that are ignorant, that I don't have a life... but, I do and my daughter is it! Thank God for giving her to me and not you all. If you think having a life means going out, having fun by going out, and whatever it is you are used to doing when you GO OUT! I don't go out and I don't miss not being able to go out. I have my daughter and I think I am lucky to have been chosen to be her caretaker on this earth. I will do my best until she is with the lord. She is his child first.
My biggest fear... what will happen to her when I am gone? I am 46 years old, she is 20. Should something happen to me and one day it will.. what will become of her. How do I prepare for that?
Making ends meet is hard... It is just me and her. We live off her disability. It is by no means enough but we make do. I don't have insurance so I don't get to go to the doctor. She has insurance with her disablitly and I make sure she is taken care of medically and has all that she needs. Finding a doctor, dentist, or other medical giver for her is the challenge... We are sorry miss but, we do not have the training to handle your kind of child.. urrrgh. /facepalm
I am not asking you to change your opinion of me. I am asking you to think before you speak and put yourself in my place and then make an educated decision as to what you would do were you in my place. It is harder than you think to even get that far... now what if it was real life for you?

Camaryn and Level 80
Camaryn has hit level 80 and has been going into some older dungeons. She has joined a new guild called "Over The Hill Crew". It is a really great guild and the people are just awesome. She is doing dailies now and making her little nest egg. She learned her cold weather flying and that is a really big help. Not much else going on, working on some alts and other things.
My old guildies from the Nazgrel server have transferred over to my new realm and so we still get to play together. Such wonderful friends. Some of them have put their mains into a raiding guild and just brought their alts over to play. I can't do the raiding thing. It isn't my game.
Life is good. The grandbaby is growing like a weed. Pulling to stand and walking around the furniture and babbling words. I have been camping on the weekends in the mountains. I love it up there and with no one at home to answer to, I can go and stay as long as I like. I plan to stay longer than just weekends this summer. Kelly likes it up there too, so I see more camping in our future. Who knew being single with no man in my life could actually be fun. I haven't dated anyone since I split from my husband and that has been almost 9 months now. I have to say, I am just enjoying life for myself right now and all is good :)
