Finals are over... gaming begins...

I took my finals this past week. I do not know my grades yet, but nothing was absolutely too hard.

My friends have made new toons on a different realm. You know me, I am all over that! I made a new Cabriella. She is a Draenei Hunter. No Night Elf this time. I am kind of tired of the Night Elves. My friends Sinnadyn and Lethalor both made warriors. Sinnadyn made a Dwarf and Leth made a Draenei. These new toons are on the PVP realm of Arthas. This will be interesting. I have never played very far on a PVP realm. I hear ya have to watch your back.

My friend Sinnadyn started his toon first, so he lends me some cash to get started. Thank you Sinny, you are the best!

Cabriella is cute. She made it through the starter quests on Azuremyst or at the crash site rather. Here she is:




Yeh, I know, she is in Auberdine. That is the most recent picture of her. I didn't take a starter pic of her. :(

Anyway, she quested alone trying to get to level 10 to get the pet. I already knew I wanted a bear. I hear there is a Spirit Bear coming in Cataclysm. I want to be ready!

The quests in Azuremyst are quite different. I can't say I like that area much. This quest has to be my favorite. It is called the Totem of Coo I think. You get wings to fly:



I must say, Blizzard has certainly made the beginning levels easy. There are all kinds of things that pop up now to tell you what to do next. Little mini boxes that explain a lot of things that were not there when I first started this game. It is great. The starter areas have all been changed to yellow so nothing there attacks you anymore. It is great! Just what an altoholic loves. :)

Cabbie hits level 10. Yay! I can learn to tame pets now!




So Cabbie heads off to Exodar. She has to go talk to Kella Nightbow about how to tame a pet.

First tame a crawler:




Then a Strider:




Lastly a Cat:




Now, I know how to tame pets. Before I can tame the one I want, I have to learn to fish so I can feed it. I am not buying its food. And if I am going to fish I have to be able to cook. Buff food later on is the way to go!






Then I get to Journeyman Fisherman: I wanted to get this level in fishing so I can do the fishing quests in Auberdine because I plan to go there to quest after I do some of Westfall.



Cabbie also learns a couple pets that were waiting in the mail when I got to Exodar. I bought the Collector's Editon of the Wrath of the Lich King and I get a Frosty pet on all new toons!







Learning the Journeyman on some skills that I will need. The skinning will provide me with some cash to keep going. I also took Herbalism. I love flowerpickin!





Now I head to Auberdine, catch a boat to Stormwind and time for a new doo for the achievement:



Now First Aid needs to be worked on you never know when you might need a bandaid :)



Now take the tram to Ironforge and head out to the Northgate Pass to tame my bear!



Her Majesty







That is the bear I tamed near Ironforge. Mangeclaw, it used to be a level 10 but now is level 11. I was disappointed when I got there, luckily I only had a few bubbles to go to level 11. I just killed pigs and dinged and tamed. I named her, Her Majesty because she just is!

Then on to Westfall an quest. I have to have the Chicken pet. She looks so dorky doing that:



After Westfall, I head to Darnassus and do all the low level quests for rep so I can buy a Cat mount. I can get the "Going Down" achievement in Shadowglen. It is the easiest place I know to get it. I do it on all my toons!




Then I finish up there and head to Auberdine and start my questing there. That is where we are now, hanging in the inn in Auberdine.

I am all of level 17. The plan, to play tonight and tomorrow as much as I can. New classes start on Monday. "Research Writing" and "Psychology:Why we do what we do". Sounds interesting huh?

New Year's Resolutions

1 Study hard.

2 Make more game time.

3 Level my alts... lol well that may take all year!

4 Keep family close.

5 Watch more NCIS, and Law & Order SVU. These are my new favorite shows!

6 Did I say more game time? yeh!

Whew....

The hustle and bustle is over. Time now to relax and get ready to get back to my studies next week. Christmas was great. It is always fun to spend time with the family.

I got a new desk for my desktop computer. I love it. It has shelves and a drawer and my computer fits on it perfectly. I have not been on the game much at all. I have been enjoying the holidays.

I have been rearranging my furniture and doing some heavy cleaning. I finally got it all done and am ready for the winter. I will do it again come spring. I found some vanilla scented plug ins and now my house smells like vanilla.

All the Christmas decorations have been tucked away until next year. All in all it was a great holiday.

I hope to find some time, before school starts back, to play my game. I want to finish leveling some of my alts to level 80. Well, here's hoping.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Christmas break is finally here. I have two whole weeks of no school to rest my weary brain. I won't do it though. I have two projects due the week I go back; although I have started on them, I will finish them over the holidays.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May all your wishes come true. I am thankful for my friends and family. I apologize to any I have wronged in the past, regardless of my reasons at the time. If you feel I have wronged you, then I am sorry.

I plan to play the game while on vacation. I am excited to get some playtime in. I will be leveling on Vek'nilash. I have a new hunter named Ariandri and a priest named Januarie. I am multiboxing these two young ladies for the triple xp from the refer a friend. I get triple xp for kills, quests and reputation. It is different. Lol.

Christmas at my house on Christmas day. Chicken pastry, honey baked ham, collards, yams, and more(yum). I didn't want turkey again. So something different is on tap with the pastry. Maybe I won't have days of leftovers! Kelly and I can only eat so much!

Well, I am off to play a bit. Here's to getting all you want for Christmas. Sometimes a phone call or email will suffice to make someone's holiday special. Call or write someone you love today. If you don't tell them they may never know. They can't read your mind!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all, thank you for reading.

Not Enough Time To Play The Game

School is taking up most of my time now. I have a lot of work to do and I want to keep my good grades so no play time for me :( Even though it is taking a lot of hard work, I still love it. I want to keep my A's and am working hard to that effect. It is still awesome and I don't mind the hard work. However, assignments that cause my head to hurt really suck! LOL

Game time... yeh I have played some. I am leveling a hunter on Vek'nilash. She is level 28 and doing well. When the expansion comes out, I plan to level a Worgen Hunter. Shapeshifting might not be all that, but I like the fact that before shapeshifting the worgen look like humans. I wanted a human hunter when my hubby first gave me the game. (Yeh, I know, he isn't my hubby anymore, but I guess he always will be to me)

Christmas is coming fast. I have been cooking and freezing collards for the winter. (Yum) All the decorating is done, the family is coming for Chicken Pastry on Christmas day and all is well in the land of me! I don't think I can stand another week of left over turkey, ham and such so, chicken pastry is on the menu for Christmas.

I headed over to Meadow to see the lights (meadowlights.net). As always, it was beautiful. I stopped at the little candy store and bought some candy. Santa was there. Kelly had fun looking at the lights and she liked the train. She doesn't care too much for Santa. haha

Looks like I have some time for gaming this morning so I guess I am off to the land of WOW for some relaxing fun!
