^ nyaaa.. I really did! But it was a few years ago XD;

She's been very reluctant to share them with me Docs-san, which leads me to believe that they're probably very adorable and cute. Adorable enough to be embarrassing! XD



Last night I got sucked into playing Guild Wars with a friend so I never made it here to do one of these. Today I had a day off from work, but mostly it was to stay home with the kiddies. They were really good for me today, so I was able to do a few fun things like read and draw a picture of an rpg character that I created. I've been reading the book that Yuki-san had mentioned called The Lovely Bones and I've found it to be surrealistically enchanting, a very captivating story. The drawing that I made was for an Old Kingdom trader person that I play and the drawing is here if anyone is interested. This afternoon I chatted online for a bit and burned more anime CD's. I've also discovered that no one in England knows what Salt Water Taffy is. O.o;; I did play Guild Wars for a little while today, however it crashed my comp twice and now I'm after their tech support people for a fix. -_-

Today was a weird day with a lot of good and not so good things rolled together. First a couple of bad things. I've been feeling stuffy and blah like I'm getting the sickies, so I haven't been motivated to do much today. This morning I messed around with that Guild Wars game for a while, but didn't really get anywheres. After that I brought my daughter to school for the first day of kindergarten which was a lot of fun, but drained me pretty good so I spent most of the afternoon napping. This evening I took both of them to the dentist (my daughter's first time for that too) and that went surprisingly well. No one made any fusses and there weren't any cavities either. ^_^ Now I'm back to visit the forums for a little while.

No cavaties is a very good thing! ::scowls at the dentist:: ^.^;;

Haven is an hyperactive fangirl (that needs more sleep and likes talking in third person...) that has an odd obsession with Clef's hands. Her favorite word is Erk. Erk!

Yupperz, it is very good. They eat a lot of awful stuff, like most kids do, but they also like to brush their teeth which helps a lot. ^_^



Today was another iccky, busy day at work. Except for about an hour or so this morning, I wasn't able to do any of my own work at all today. A lot of this afternoon I spent cleaning out about a thousand messages from my mailbox at work because I'm lazy and do like to do it very often. The thing is that none of it was spam, all of it was good mail that I had to deposit in various places to be saved, I never delete anything. This morning was also the first day of school for the kiddies, so I went out with them to wait for the bus in the pouring rain. Mee used an umbrella so I didn't get soaked. Actually, it rained a lot today as all of the remnants of Katrina blew through my area today. This evening I went out and did a little shopping, but that's about it, and sadly this is my first chance to visit the forum today. v_v

Today started out better than yesterday because it was relatively pleasant this morning without any of the rain that we got yesterday. So it was straight off to work after putting the kiddies on the bus, and work turned out better than yesterday too. It was still rather busy, but I was able to get a lot of my own work done this morning anyways. This evening I didn't visit online much but I did play FFXI for a little while. During the special event it was hilarious to see my little Taru whm beating up on this giant bull monster. When I actually got the hate from it, I was skidding all over the place when it charged me (no damage bcause it's a special event) and at one point I skidded through the gate into another zone. Mee got the red sash though! ^_^ Now I finally get a chance to stop by here. Things seem to be very slow now that Yuzuki-chan and Shiro-san are away right now ...

Well, one last stop before turning in for the night. Today was actually a rather normal day for me in many ways. Work problems went down a lot and I was able to spend much of my day working on my own projects. The weather was very beautiful outside, so I went out and had lunch at a fast food place. I was greeted with a shocking surprise nearby when I saw that the price of gasoline went up 60 cents per gallon just today alone. When I was little I remember my father getting upset when gas was 40 cents a gallon. XD After work I went to the mall to shop for manga, but didn't see anything new for the series that I've been reading. I also finished downloading the AIR anime series today and took a quick look at it. The series is very cute and reminds me of Kanon in many ways. This evening I watched a movie and visited online for a bit, but that's it. See everyone again soon. ^_^

Hmm, another Saturday. This morning I still felt sick, so I stayed in bed pretty late. However I had to get up and pack up some more CD's and some taffy for my friends in the UK and mail it to them before the post office closed. This afternoon I visited online for a while and also started watching the next anime series - Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne. Now I'm sort of hanging out and watching a Harry Potter movie on DVD.

A pretty typical Sunday for me today. This morning I went to Sunday mass as I do every week. This afternoon I visited online and did some of the Rayearth rpg which I haven't done in a little while. I also went shopping for a bit trying to find another video card for my old comp. It was a very nice day, so I was able to go out and ride my bicycle for a while too. This evening I've been mostly chatting online, but it's getting late now.

Wauugh! What happened to yesterday? O.o;; They say that time goes by faster as you get older, but they never said that it would go by faster than I could see it ...



Actually I spent most of yesterday helping some friends move. It was their first house, so they were really excited about it and there were a lot of use there to help out. Today was much more of the normal grind - back to work again. Like yesterday, the weather today was stunningly beautiful, a couple of the best days I've had all year. ^_^ This evening I did a little shopping after work and then came home and watched anime for a little while. Lately I've been watching Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne and so far I've really enjoyed it a lot, oooh, I'll have to do a write up for it in the anime section soon. ^_^;; Right now I'm just tuning out and visiting the boards. XD

I'm backy wacky su! ^_^ Uhh ... that didn't quite come out right ... O.o;; Well whatever, today was a lot like yesterday mostly. Work went very well despite being very busy today. I was able to finish a job and start hacking away at the next one, which is a good thing ... I guess. After work was done I went to go shopping again, but didn't buy anything this time however. Then I came home and had dinner and chatted with friends for a bit and now I've returned to the forum for a little while. So far I've had Aim on for 45 minutes and no one's pounced on me yet. XD

Hey Shii-chan...I've got FFXI installed and to work today. ^.^ Let me know when we can play together. ^.^

Hey that's great Docs-san! ^_^ To play on the same server together, I need to get a world pass for you. It's easy to do, but I have to get the password to you, so look for me on aim later tonight. ^_^



Actually I was playing FFXI last night, so that's why I didn't stop by to do this yesterday. ^_^;; But there really isn't much to tell, it was very much like the day before, except that I went and bought a new video card and did some work in a room in the house that I have to paint at some point. XD The power supply in my pc isn't big enough to run the new video, so now I have to get a bigger one. The IT guy at work might have one that he could give me though.

^.^; I'm still figuring stuff out in FFXI. Hehe...i choose to be a catgirl. Meow.

Mee so sowwiess Docs-san!! T_T



The truest saying there ever was is "shit happens". >_< About a hour before I was supposd to leave work today some guy called up all befuddled and begging for help. Everyone else had already gone home, so guess what? Shii-chan got put on a plane to Atlanta, and that's where I am now. I just got here about a half hour ago, and if you look at the board time, it's been quite a long day for me, so I need to go get some sleepies. Aside from the surprise, it was a rather boring day for me. Even the travel went well, which is pretty surprising. ^_^;;



I'll go and get you a world pass if you need one Docs-san. If your character is on Siren, Valefor, or Remora server we can play together. If not you will need to make another one because characters can't be transferred from one server(world) to another.

*huggle* Don't even worry about the game till things have settled down and are more back to normal for you. ^.^ There plenty of time in the future to play. *nod nod*

Hehe, mee is at the airport in Atlanta now, just waiting for a flight. Wireless is a goodness thing! ^__^

Today was my one day off this weekend after work and traveling yesterday. This morning I tried to sleep as late as I could after two 20 hour days Friday and Saturday. Eventually I had to get up to go to mass this morning though. Even so I was too tired to do much of anything today except visit online this afternoon and do some laundry. I've been looking for Docs to see about playing FFXI, but I haven't seen him today.

Today I had workies. XD Maybe tomorrow. ^-^ And *gasp* 20 hour days? I'd die...o.0 *huggles Shii-chan*

Tonight works for me too Docs-san, I'll try to be on aim around 8pm my time, which is 5pm your time I think.



Yeah, I did have a couple of very long days, but a lot of it was traveling which is kind of boring ...



If I wanted to, I could've taken the day off today because of the extra hours that I put in last week. Comp time we call it sometimes, but I'm a creature of habit and so I went in to work anyways. There really wasn't a good reason for me to stay home and I wanted to send in my expense report so that I could get reimbursed for my trip last weekend. Work actually went pretty well for me today and wasn't that busy. The boss told me that soon I'd be able to get back to work on my bigger projects that's been on the back burner for a while now, however before the day was done, he had already found something else to toss in front of it. Ahh, the constant change of the corporate world. XD This evening I brought home another power supply for my pc, a bigger one that I need to run the new x700 video card that I bought. It was free because the IT guy at work gave it to me, however it wouldn't work because it wouldn't physically mount in the pc chassis. >_< So back to the drawing board. This evening I went to look for Docs to play FFXI, but I was a few minutes late and he went on ahead without me. Maybe we can meet up tomorrow. ^_^;;

Here I am again, another evening, another day done. It was rather warm today for a mid September day, but it was very nice and sunny. ^_^ Work went very well too and wasn't too stressful for me. When I came home after work I watched anime for a little while, so I didn't have time to play any online games. I guess that Docs is going to try to get a wp for me to play on his world, so it might be a while before we can play FFXI together. Now it's about time for me to go sleepiess .... zzzzzzz ....

^.^ Today this really nice person gave me 10k. So when I figure this stuff out we can play together. Yay...anyways...I hope you're sleeping well. Night night

XD You should be able to get yourself some better equipment with that cash too. ^_^

Hmm, same place, different day. Not that much different though. The past few days have been very much the same actually and I'm starting to get a little bit of robotitis. Yesterday I played FFXI for a while with a friend from SU, but I should go and see if Docs wants to play at all. Tonight I've just been watching anime and looking around for those mascot thingy's that Yuzuki-chan found. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of them anywheres.

Hmm, I've been absent from this for a couple of days it seems. Yesterday I didn't get a lot of online time because I spent much of the day cleaning junk out of the house. I also went and returned all of the bottles and cans and got about $47 for all of them. XD. Next weekend we are going to have a garage sale. ^_^ Today I just went to mass this morning and this afternoon I went to spend some time at my mom's and my two brothers were there along with all of the kiddies, so everyone had a good time playing together. This evening I didn't watch any anime but I did play FFXI for a little while. Now it's getting late and tomorrow will be another Monday. -_-

The end of another Monday today. Things weren't really that bad for me. Work went pretty smoothly and there really wasn't a lot of problems to deal with. The weather got nice and sunny today of course, after a dreary and wet weekend. :P This evening I wasn't able to stay home long, just enough time for a quick dinner and then take the kiddies out again. After we came back and they went to bed I played FFXI for a little while and now I'm back here again for a visit. ^_^

Just making another quick stop back in here again. Things weren't all that exciting for me today. The weather was a little weird this morning with odd looking clouds, but there was a brief storm and it became sunny again by this afternoon. Work went pretty smoothly with very few problems. This evening after dinner I went to the town hall for a meeting about this project that they're continuing to develop right behind me. Ten years ago when I moved to this place it was quiet and there was a few acres of open space out behind me. The neighbor back there is just a TV station which for a commercial enterprise is rather pleasant to have - very little activity and very quiet. Now they're building lots of apartment blocks and I'm starting to feel like I've just moved to Brooklyn ... v_v

Hikaru-chan is back. Lately my work days have been carbon copies of the day before. Things have been going smoothly which is a good thing for sure, and there hasn't been very many chronic issues or surprises. This evening I went out to do a little shopping after work and then came home to have dinner and visit online for a bit. Now I'm back here again. ^_^

Ooopsiess, I forgot to do this yesterday, well I was playing FFXI and finally was able to meet up with Docs-san and play a little bit yesterday. I made a Mithra character and called her "Meep" because a friend I knew years ago had a kitty that only made little meeping noises and we called her "Meep" or "Meepers" XD The first thing that we did was go shopping and get some equipment for a poor n00b like me. Starting poor is the icckiest part of starting any mmorpg. Docs was very sweet and got me some equipment, but it's rather mismatched and I look kinda funny. XD Hopefully he'll do better if he ever shops for ladies' clothing IRL. ^_^;;



Today started out pretty wet and dreary, but it didn't rain after I had went to work. This afternoon was really nice, but after work I felt lazy and just ordered pizza for dinner. Then I did go and play FFXI for a little while, but it must have been too early for Docs because I didn't see him in game. Now I'm back here not forgetting to do this again today. XD

Here I am, back from another busy Saturday. For most of the day today we had a garage sale going on here, so I didn't get much of a chance to do any online stuff. This morning I also went to the bowling alley with the kiddies which was a lot of fun. This afternoon my little girl had a birthday party to go to and she had a lot of fun with that too. This evening I went and played FFXI for a little while and did pretty good for a while, but eventually I died on the way back. :P Now I finally get to see what has been happening here today. ^_^

Today was considerably less busy than Saturday was. This morning I went to Sunday mass as always. The weather was gray and chilly, but it was more comfortable for me to dress up than the warm summer weather. This afternoon I chatted online for a bit and installed FFXI on this compy, so now I have it on both of them. The new video card I got (Radeon x700) is a fantastic improvement over the old one, making the game a little more enjoyable. ^_^ This evening I've been visiting the forums off and on and watching movies with the kiddies.

Beep, beep, beep, I'm back. I don't know why I'm beeping though, maybe because I feel kinda sickies today. The house has been a little chilly lately, so I finally put on the heat again today. It's that time of the year when I go into denial that the colder winter weather is on its way. ^_^;; Work was rather dull for the most part today. I was really tired this morning, so I didn't get lots done, but then people started to call me which stirred things up a little bit. This afternoon I was able to get the approval documents done for this job I've been working on for ages. After work I took the kiddies out for a little while and went shopping for manga (for me, not the kiddies XD). When I came back I played FFXI for a little while, and now we're all watching Willy Wonka. ^_^

The end of another Tuesday. Sad to say there isn't much to report I'm afriad. Work was slow and not very exciting which is rather unusual for the last week of the month. I really should appreciate the quiet time more because I know that the chaos will return again soon. This evening I came home and read some more of the latest manga that I've been reading - Yotsuba&. It's from the same author as Azumanga Daioh so it's just as looney, however being a parent myself, the stuff I've read in it isn't all that far off the deep end. ^_^;; After dinner I played FFXI for a little while and now I'm back here again. ^_^

It's Wednesday, the middle of another week. This morning it was pretty chilly outside waiting for the bus with the kiddies, but the weather was sunny and warmed up nicely this afternoon. Work was slow this morning but picked up and got nutty this afternoon. Just a little more to help me go crazy over time. :P This evening was much better. I finished reading Vol 1 of Yotsuba& and went out to one of my church group meetings. Now I'm back to the MKR forum again. ^_^

Erm, well I forgot to do this again last night because I found Docs-san in FFXI so I went and played for a while. I didn't do too bad for a new character and went up 3 levels. :P I also got a screenshot of my silly looking Mithra character. XD

Just when you thought that things couldn't get any better, here comes a second helping of Shii-chan! *watches everyone run away* O.o;; Well, it started out very chilly this morning, but no frost yet. It's definitely fall though and the leaves are coming off of the trees. Usually this is a time of the year that I'll take a ride up into the hills to see foliage myself on little used back roads. The tourist leaf peepers tend to clog all of the main roads, so I avoid them. :P Work was chaotic and kinda nutzy today, but I did get part of my project done and mailed the files off to my customer in South America. After work I came home and tried to install some new programs on my other comp, but a few didn't work, but that's about average for free downloads. XD Now I'm just playing around on the forum ...

Today was a pretty lazy day for me. This morning I went to the bowling alley, but that was about it. The rest of the day I stayed home. I did a few online things and watch some anime and I also did some laundry too. Not very exciting stuff. The weather was pretty nice outside though for a fall day. ^_^

It was another beautiful day outside again today so lately I've been really spoiled with nice weather here. ^_^ This morning I went to Sunday mass as I do every weekend. This afternoon we had a garage sale at the house again this weekend. We sold a little bit of stuff and I also was able to do a bit of yardwork too this afternoon. This evening I've been helping Yuzuki-chan get FFXI working and hopefully soon there will be three of us to play together. ^_^

The end of another Monday. Tomorrow I have to leave first thing in the morning to go back to NYC for work. Since I'll be there for most of the week, today was kind of a useless day. I didn't start up anything new because there wasn't any chance of finishing it up, so I just putzed around and tried to stay busy. XD This evening I packed up and chatted online for a little bit but didn't do any online gaming. I also went to the bookstore and bought some more manga because I needed things to read on the plane. XD

*nudge* I saw Shii-chan for a little bit in FFXI today. =Pq

We got to play for a little while yesterday until the crappy hotel internet finally died on me. Sorry about the sudden departure guys. v_v



Things went pretty good for me with work today and all of my work here in NYC is all done for the time being. The weather has also been very nice here too for this time of the year with lots of sunshine and low 80's for temperatures. It will be good to go home tomorrow though. This evening I wandered around to do some shopping and had dinner out. Afterwards I've just been hanging out on the comp. ^_^;;

Hmm, it seems that it's been a little while since I've done one of these. Last night I was just so tired that I couldn't stay awake anymore and fell asleep really early. It wasn't that busy of a day if I remember right, so it must have been a long week catching up to me like that. v_v

^-^ Fridays are usually like that for me too Hikaru-chan (unless I don't get a nap earlier in the day *nod nod* ) ^.^ I hope you're well rested now.

Today I was tired all day too, so I might be getting the sickies from the kiddies. I really hope not, but if I'm not around tomorrow, you'll know what happened to me. ^_^;; The weather was cold and wet, so it wasn't very nice to be outside. The only thing that I went out for was to go to the post office, otherwise I stayed home all day. I was able to visit online quite a bit which helped, but I also napped a lot because I was so tired today. v_v

Ooops, I didn't do this again yesterday. Lately I've just not been on the ball for some reason. I know that I can be really ditzy sometimes, so it seems like this has been one of those times. ^_^;; Work was rather slow today, which was a good thing actually because I still feel a little tired. Everyone pretty much left me alone to do my work, so I put more time into design work today than I did all of last week. ^_^;; This evening I wrote out a bunch of letters and watched a Harry Potter movie with the kiddies which helped me relax for a bit. Now I'm back here to visit, but I'm trying to decide if I should go and do any online games tonight or not.

Today was a bit different because I stayed home from work with sick kiddies today. One did go to school, but not the other. I was able to do a good amount of my work online today, so it definitely wasn't a wasted day. A lot of my online friends were surprised to see me around this afternoon, because normally they're all gone by the time I get home. I also had a chance to play FFXI for a bit too, but didn't see Docs or Yuzuki in there though. Now I'm back at the forum again to see what's been going on today. ^_^

Hello there, Shii-chan is back again. Today was much different from yesterday, and not really in a good way either. The kiddies are feeling better which is a positive note, but that means no more days away from the office for now. :P Work was rather iccky and confusing today and I didn't get a chance to get very much done. Later this afternoon I got so tired that I could hardly stay awake at work, but I was able to get through the day. When I got home I took a short nap and that helped me a little bit. This evening I just played FFXI for a little while and didn't do much online visiting. Hopefully tomorrow won't be as tiring as today was.

Here I am, back again. ^_^ Things went fairly well for me today except that the weather was gray and wet and not really that nice to be outside. That's okay because it was a good day to be at work. For the most part people left me alone to work again today too, so I was able to get a lot done as well. Tomorrow I hope to get this project that I've been working on completed so that I can go on to something else. I got out of work early today because I had to meet with this fellow about getting some trees planted in the back of my yard in the next week or so. This evening I wasn't really tired like yesterday, so I was able to go out to one of my church group meetings which went very well too. FFXI hasn't been working this evening, so I'll probably not get to play again until tomorrow, so for now I'll hang around here. ^_^

I'm a little late tonight, but I made it before falling asleep. For the most part it was a good day today, but then again, most Friday's are good days. About the only thing that wasn't so nice was the iccky wet weather which we've had here every day this week I think and I'm getting tired of it. Work went well today and I did get that project finished that I wanted to finish today. ^_^ After I came home I watched some TV with the kiddies and chatted online for a little bit. After they went to bed I played FFXI for a little while. Docs and Yuzuki-chan were there when I first showed up, but they left right away and I didn't get a chance to do anything with them.

Saturday can be a busy day sometimes, even busier than days at work. This morning I went to the bowling alley like I normally do and that went pretty good. When I came home from there I got some results from an inquiry I made to the hosting company that I use. The answers weren't favorable, so I've begun to move things to a new host. The conversion to IPB should start moving again soon, but I'll let everyone know when things have progressed more with that. This afternoon, everyone went to get their hair done. We always go as a family and everyone gets their hair cut at the same time. This evening I chatted with friends for a while and now I'm back here once more. ^_^
