Break Time Is Over... and Now We Play

So meet Cabriella... the new.



She comes from the beautiful city of Exodar.




I am playing with my friends on Nazgrel again. It seems good to be back playing. School gets tough for stretches at the time, but I can handle it.

So for the new Cabriella on Nazgrel. She is going with herbalism and skinning. She knows first aid, cooking, and fishing. She is working on getting her weapon skills up. I created Cabby three days ago. As of today, she is level 26. Her cat, a nightsaber from Exodar, is named KitKat.

I am leveling pretty fast. I am not speed leveling. Playing a hunter is just easy for me. I love it. My friend Bob on his mage, Alffy, ran me through Blackfathom Deeps for my first dungeon. I am thinking I may try going to the battlegrounds for a bit, and I am trying to convince myself to go into the dungeon finder.

This seems like a good way to welcome myself back to the game after a long break. I can't wait to see how long it takes her to level to 80 and if I can stick it out! That is the main thing.

I met a new friend, a warrior named Chicklett. She is new and I am helping her to learn the game. I hope I can be of help at least.

Well, off to the mountains for a camping trip and then back home for schooling. I still have my 4.0 GPA so I am doing good. I am half way through my Associates degree. :) Yay me!!!

Til later, :)

Taking a Break

There will be no more posts here for a while. I am taking a break from the game and focusing on my studies. I have suspended my game account and will pick it back up at a later date. :)

Rockin it Red

Lol, so I got a wild hair and went red. I absolutely love it! Just a few pics, my hair has grown since I got it cut really, really short.

Snow, Snow, Snow

Snow! We have had quite a bit of it this year. We don't usually get much snow. We had a good snow last year. It will usually skip a year or so before we have another good amount again. It is pretty though. I love it. But, I am ready for the warmth of Spring. I just hope we have a Spring and not go right into the heat of Summer!


This is in my back yard. I still have about an inch on the ground this morning and it melted all night!



It was a heavy snow. It caused some trees in my back yard to break. Poor birds, they won't have anywhere to hide now with the trees gone. They flocked to my bird feeders on my back deck. They love it! It seems good to be able to have bird feeders and decorations on my deck and decorations in my house! I can't say I like plain walls much or teenage-like posters on the walls. :) Give me decorations! Anyway, here are some pics of the birds eating at the feeders...






I haven't been in the game much lately. I hope to change that soon. School has kept me busy and I spent the night at my daughter's house over the weekend and played with the grandson. He is such a cutiepie.


Nana's little bug. I love him!

Leveling and Other Game Stuff

We changed the name of the guild back to Spirits of Retribution. Since all the old crew have come back together. We are steadily growing and have several new level 80's that have joined. Running dungeons shouldn't be hard to do from now on.

I am having to level Weelocke my gnome warlock. She was level 37 and I maxed out her professions at 300. She has alchemy and inscription. She has to get to level 50 to train those professions again. Sooo, I am on a leveling spree with her. I used to hate playing her. I have gotten her to level 40 so far. She has actually turned out to be quite fun. I am enjoying playing her. She does monstrous damage and her pet can tank anything! So maybe getting her leveled up might not be as bad as I thought it would to begin with.

Everyone has moved their mains to the new realm and joined the guild. We have I guess around ten to twelve level 80's. Hopefully we can do some ten mans soon. I have never done one of those. :)

School is going great. I still have my 4.0 GPA. I graduate in April of 2011. That isn't really that far off. Lol. Yay, me. I love my classes. It is hard but good. I can tell my memory is a lot better than before. Using my old brain whipped it into shape ... somewhat. hehe It's all good. As long as I learn something, I am not complaining one bit. Meeting new people in class and enjoying the daily life of being a student and mom. Can't beat it.

Best Wow Video Ever!

The Craft of War: BLIND from percula on Vimeo.

I love this video. I saw it first on Wow.com and they have posted it again today. The graphics and story are made of pure awesome!

Soooo, How Is Life Treating You?

School keeps me busy. Psychology classes are great but, I can do without Sigmund Freud. Personally, I think he is an idiot. But, anyway.... I am learning why people do things they do... like drinking and smoking and what it is they are trying to compensate for with these activities... umm yeah... but what they are really getting in the bargain isn't worth it.

The game... leveling a Pally on the PVP realm. Leveling on a pvp realm is always fun. You are running along questing, minding your own, when out of nowhere someone attacks you and you are dead. One hit! Dead! I don't get it??? If you are 20 levels over someone what do you get out of killing them? It isn't my kind of fun. I don't mind the death part or the running back to my body to rez and die again. I just don't get what you get out of killing someone that is so much lower level than you and then camp the bodies? I mean you killed me a lowbie, you have to wait until I rez so you can do it again?... that does something for you?...Geeez, Dude, Get a life! hahaha now that that is out of my system...

Leveling the pally with my daughter's priest... we are level 65 and 64 respectively. It is a pretty great combo. Well, until the 80's come and set up camp...yeh yeh, I am over it....moving on hehe

Doing pretty well with the economy on the new realm. Big realms with a queue to log in, have the best economy or at least this one does. Nazgrel and Kirin'Tor are very poor realms compared.

We have started running dungeons to get Cab her gear, because my gear sucks big time. Last night, she got the Staff of Trickery. A very nice purple staff. I bought a 300 gold enchant to put on it as my enchanting isn't high enough to do it myself. We ran Violet Hold for that one and we ran Utgarde Keep for a bow that didn't drop. Oh well, maybe next time. It has been awesome running with Sinnadyn and Drossard (Lethalor) again. They are my two best friends in the game not counting my daughter. Drossard talked an 80 mage into joining our guild and we hope to do a lot more dungeons.

Love is in the air... yes it is that time again... in game the Valentine's Day festivities are underway. I am trying to do them when I can and it is not my favorite holiday in game. I do have to say, I want a shot at the level 80 trio they added to Shadowfang Keep... that is one of my favorite lowbie dungeons and I would love to tackle these guys ... hopefully our guild will do that soon. In the meantime, I will keep leveling the pally, death knight and working on Cabby some decent gear. Yay! for good friends and loads of fun!
