ah contentment.
Had a decent day at work, got a lot of the projects ive been meaning to get done out of the way, so that kinda makes for a nice easy day tomorrow, prolly have to do some driving and all that.
The baby has been in an incredibly good mood for most of the day, except for the short period of time where she had to get a quick bath.. boy was she not a happy camper. Soon as she touched the water, she went from wiggling around and making some small fuss to utter end of the world shrieking. So far Alexia's temperment has been pretty decent, but then again, all she does right now is eat sleep and poo.
ah to be a child.
hrm, anyone have a section of web space i can use to host a couple pictures for livejournal? had a couple people ask for them but i cant really download a client to upload them with on this computer and i dont set mine up for several more days.
So, one of the gifts from the baby shower not to long ago was from my mom, and it was an aquarium themed electric swing. its pretty neat, has a little fish and sea animal mobile, has a couple diffrent sounds, including ocean water, rain water, etc, and has some glowing lights... well, either way, she LOVES it. Generaly, shes like most babies, she gets fussy when shes hungry or is having trouble going to the bathroom and whatnot, but every once in a while you just want to be in a bad mood and scream about it. theres really nothing we can do, but that swing does wonders so far, it will at least calm her down somewhat.
Jen's doing pretty good, shes healing pretty quick and is having a blast during the day with the baby, so that makes me happy tooo
ummmm
this weekend was interesting, saturday i went in to work, came home, and had a fussy baby all night, until she zonked out and slept for like 5 hours almost.
sunday was all sorts of funny shit to me. went to SM to pick up the Allthing ballots for the NWA Allthing so I can tally them and all that jazz like my job says, then decided to fight in the little war vs the pack. So, I decided to be somewhat effective in the game and ran around with a rather fun set up. 6th warrior, 4pt stoneskin, shield of reflection, 2pt sword vs armor. MmmMmm fun.
soooo about 30 kills into the game, this flourentine guy comes out from their base and i wax him.. BAD. 2 shots to right arm, 2 to the left, 4 shoulder shots, hes still trying to swing... on one of the four shoulder shots, i clip an ear and he gets _piss_ that he got hit in the head, during a game. tries to start a fight and gets puled back by like 3 reeves within 3 seconds, no punches thrown or anything.
5ish minutes later, another flourentine guy comes out, cept i dont even bother with the arm shots, I threw 2 shoulder shots, the second cliped an ear again, so i faked right shoulder, droped under the board and stabed him 4 times in the chest as he swings hard on the shield. Well, because i cliped his ear, he exploded. Got all sorts of pissy about getting hit in the head and takes 3 full baseball swings at my head with his sword. Garth tells me the sword bent all the way around and broke the core, but i didnt really notice, after the first pissed off shot at my head and the yelling, i re centered myself from my slightly spread stance and took the other two shots without flinching, i think that kinda bothered him, im not sure... either way, with a nice smile on my face i told him while he was swinging the seoncd and third shots "your fucking up bad right now.." Well, i guess the reeves had seen this coming or something and had already been on the way as soon as that first shot at my head was thrown.. but i was good, he was to far out of range to actually push kick him, so i let it slid... From what Trey was telling me, he had 2 buddies coming up behind him, so im kinda glad i didnt lose it and drop kick him, but then again, Trey tells me he had already droped the bow and was moving forward to do a nice running tackle on the two guys behind him...
anyways, i had a kind of relization later in the day. I was talking to someone (Trey again, i beleive) about knighthood a while back, and he gave me a bit of advice and some words of wisdom that i sort of understood but didnt actually have the experience to understand fully. He told me, I have the talent for the knighthood i'm most interested in, but what I needed to work on was patience and my temper. With my baby on the way, he thought that I was going to learn more from the baby than what most other people could teach me. He was right. I'm starting to learn the patience and I find it _much_ easier to hold myself in check. Granted, I'm not perfect, but at least ive got another step on the path that I'm aspiring for. I'm very pleased that I didn't over react and get all pissy and whatnot. In this last week that I've had my baby, my entire paradigm has shifted and I've got a _huge_ new outlook about some of the things I work on in my life. and this makes me damn proud. I'm truely looking forward to what else I can do in my life and in amtgard with this relization.
I just hope I keep learning. Thats all I really want right now.
