Hello Again, It’s Been Too Long

Hey there, so we are going on like, what, a month of no new posts? Sorry about that folks. I’ve been meaning to post something and then things just get in the way or I am too tired to do so. There have been a lot of changes going on lately and I’m still adjusting to it all. I guess I could just go ahead and get you up to speed on things. Ready for a mini novel?

Sexist Jerk? Or Common Douchebag?

Man this last week has been super busy and I am just exhausted, and maybe fiending a little for some game time. Things at work have picked up and I have more responsibility, family has been visiting, and we have gone to visit family, Ally is growing up and trying to crawl and walk, and of course I have to make time for my hubby. With all that going on, it’s hard to get time to play games or blog, but I guess I’m learning about time management. Too bad I need to sleep, that’s the best time of day, well night actually, for gaming, cleaning and blogging. It seems I need to become a vampire. Yea, that was a Twilight reference. Wait! Don’t unsubscribe! I’m a Potter fan first! Haha. Anyways, when I do find time to game, I like to enjoy it and primarily play with my friends, that way I know I am getting into a good and fun match. Too bad last night didn’t turn out that way.

Another Birthday Has Come and Gone

It’s been a few days since my last post. I sort of got addicted to Gears 3 all over again, and have been spending most of my free time playing horde or team death match. So much fun. Yes, that means I’ve slacked on my workouts. Oops lol. The first two days I wasn’t feeling very well, and not because I was sore, but I genuinely wasn’t feeling good. So I played Gears. Yea, that didn’t end well for my workout. I need to get back at it, and I’m planning on it this week.

In other news, Sunday was my birthday, so say hello to this 23 year old. I feel so mature and wise. Ha! Just kidding. 23 feels a lot like 22, which felt like 21, which… Ok, ok. I could do that all day. It was a good birthday. My dad, and some of my other family, took me to Olive Garden to celebrate. Olive Garden is my absolute favorite place. Did I mention that I have the best hubby in the world? Cause I do. Seriously. My gifts from him, rocked! 3Ds hard cover (Zelda!), a Mario case for my 3Ds and games, a Mario calendar for work, Super Mario 3D Land, and a little notebook. I do love notebooks and journals, so very much. I was so excited about all of this stuff. Mykal thought it’d be funny to put everything in a bag within a bag. So by the time it was all unwrapped, I had a bag for each gift. It was pretty funny though. I’d love to tell you how Super Mario is, but I haven’t gotten to play it. I’ve been Gearsing it up with some buddies, and so mykal has been playing Super Mario. He said its good. Now I need to pry that game away from him. Haha.

Ok, it’s late and I need to head off to bed. When I get back, I demand cake from everyone haha.

Mother. Wife. Gamer.

I always start a post but by the time I get around to finishing it, it’s either no longer relevent or I’ve lost my train of thought. I am going to attempt to do this in one sitting. Please Ally, stay asleep. Anyhoo, a few new things have been going on as of late. Nothing to stop the presses about, but I’m going to tell you about it anyway. To spite you! Bwuahaha! (That’s my evil laugh, just for future reference). Ok, I’m not really evil. I mean you can always not read it if you want, it’s not like I hijacked your computer while you started reading this and made it stay here until you finished… or did I? *Dramatic prairie dog face*

I guess I can start with Ally’s 6 month check up on Thursday. We, or rather I, decided that I wanted Ally to have a female doctor, instead of the male doctor that we were assigned when she was born. He was a nice enough doctor, but I spent more time waiting in the front waiting room and in the examination room, than I did talking to the doctor or his nurses. It was just a little too dingy for my taste. So I found us a new pediatrician. She is very sweet and I liked how she did her check up. I was really impressed with them overall. They gave me a courtesy call to remind me about the appointment and everything. This may sound crazy that I am excited about that, but our last pediatrician did not ever do that. The nurses at this new place were great. Super friendly and made me feel welcome. The location of this place is in a very good neighborhood, so that made me feel even better about our choice. I am probably going to run out of adjectives for how great this place was compared to our last pediatrician. The waiting room was painted like a jungle with trees and animals and had a lot of elbow room. The examination room was bright and colorful with hearts and animals all over the wall. Very cheery place. So I think we have definitely found our new doctor. Now onto the results of the visit. Ally is now 16.7lbs and 27 inches long. My little girl is growing so fast! She is in perfect health and progressing just fine. I couldn’t have been more pleased with how good she is doing.It really is amazing to watch her grow and learn. Makes me feel all warm inside.

Whoa, that was a little all over the place. Hmm… maybe blogging while sleepy isn’t a good idea…? Eh, screw it, you probably stopped reading it after the first sentence anyway. Lately, I have been having a bit of insomnia. Either that or I have realized I am a night owl and not an early bird. Maybe a little of both. I get stressed and wired at night and this sudden burst of energy comes out of no where. Usually it is to clean. Random right? This is when I go all Superwoman and clean the house from top to bottom. I did this Friday night and Mykal woke up and was pleasantly surprised at how the house was in order. I guess I’m also like that because Mykal works so hard that I want to make it feel equal. This is why I would make a great housewife. One day this could be a possibility. I’ll be waiting for that day. For some reason work has been stressing me out lately. It adds to my insomnia. So does bills and a whole bunch of other things. But enough of this random bunch of words. No, this doesn’t mean you can stop reading, it just means I am switching from household talk (or lack there of), and taking a turn on to geeky street.

I’ll admit it to anyone, I’m an achievement whore. I can’t help it. I love to see my gamerscore go higher and higher, and when I see scores higher than mine, it makes me want to run home to my xbox and get to playing. Currently I am 100 points shy of 13,000. I want to get that last 100 so I can be at a nice round number. I also want to go through and fully complete each of my games. That means get every single achievement. Easier said than done, but I am going to try anyway. For the past day and a half, I have been obsessed with Stacking. It’s a xbox live arcade game (and pretty sure its in the PS marketplace as well) that I got on sale a couple of months ago. I finally got around to playing it, and it is fun. I really liked it. It’s about a little boy who had his brothers and sisters taken away to do child labor and he goes to rescue them and bring down the evil Baron. You are a little Russian stacking doll that can jump into other Russian stacking dolls and use their abilities to solve puzzles and get closer to rescuing your family. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it. I’m about to start the expansion for it called The Lost Hobo King. I’ll hopefully get to it tomorrow. Next mini game on my list will either be Ms. Splosion Man or maybe Super Meat Boy, they have both been out for a while, but I didn’t play a lot while pregnant. I also need to get some play time in on Assassins Creed Revelations. I have it, but I was finishing up Batman Arkham City before I started it. I can’t really play more than one big game at a time, I feel like I’m not fully invested in it do. My “to play” list is huge and I;m hoping that I will be able to change that list into my “already played” list.

Well, that’s enough late night blogging. I can feel my fingers get sluggish as they aren’t flying across the keyboard like they normally are. Until next time!
