Snow Day!
So snow has come to NC. We got a couple of inches last night and we're expected to maybe get another inch during the day. However, since it's supposed to be 55 on Friday. I thought Montana had some turbulent weather changes. Apparently NC is much more erratic.
Anyway, just my luck, on my one snow day, it's patch day and the servers are down until 1pm. Curse you, Blizzard and your Tuesday morning patchiness. I guess there's never a good time to take all the realms offline, but damn. Why did it have to be my snow day? Why couldn't it have been last week?
So, instead, I get to play with my family and drink coffee and eat biscuits and enjoy the fire in our woodstove. Ella went outside to play in the snow and she thought it was pretty cool. Well, cold actually. And she's not sure she likes it as much as she thought she would. She does like to stand at the door and admire it, though. As do I.
Speaking of Ella, she has decided that sprinkles go on everything. She's had sprinkles on pancakes, on toast, on her grapes (that didn't work so well), on her cheese toast and on her pizza. She prefers the easter bunny sprinkles, but she'll take just about any of them. Today she's having a red and green sugar sparkles sandwich. we opened up a biscuit and put red on one side and green on the other, and now she's amazed at how they mix together when you put them together. Ah, to be 3 and have a love for sprinkles such as she does.
In other news, I'm just about done moving all of my stuff into our Durham house and ready to sell the Holly Springs house. That makes me so happy you have no idea. I need to get rid of my big ole horizontal file cabinet. I think I might put it up on craigslist or freecycle. I just want it to go away.
In other WoW news, my pally is about 2/3 of the way through 78 and Noah's lock is about 60% of the way through 77. That means that we can fly around in Northrend, finally, and we can mine to our heart's content. We used to split the nodes so we could both get points, but I guess that's changed with today's patch (thankfully). However, now we have to shift-right click when we hit it so it doesn't get looted but you do get the point. And then the next person can loot it. That's how we both did our herbalism back when we were rushing to 70 on our priest/shammy combo.
I will say that having a ret pally and an affliction lock run around makes for some ridiculous fun world PvP. I am gankarrific. I see no reason not to. I like to play, I like to play other players. And I like it when we will kill someone and his level 80 friend comes to help and we kill that guy too. It doesn't always work out that way, but damn, having 2 stuns on my character and 2 fears on Noah's makes it a lot easier for us to manage the inevitable 80 human ret pally that shows up to put us in our places. And then kill him.
My new favorite? Ganking people in the little quest posts where it looks like the people there might be guards and aggro you, but they don't. And before I open up with my hammer of justice and judgment of command, I like to say "hi, we're the assholes your friends are talking about in general chat."
It's the little things that make me happy.
