Mostly doing chores and traffic school (http://www.citationstation.com/) and of course WoW. I’m back up to level 30 already. So five levels, a crimson whelpling, black velvet robes and lesser agility potion recipe from being done with Liata.

Monday, March 28th, 2005
I don’t often discuss my religious beliefs, and some of the reason’s are in this radio show host’s soapbox. In fact, I’m not going to get into it now, I just wanted to share the link and maybe give people something to think about.

Poem from a friend
Monday, March 28th, 2005Just a time to embrace everyone who matters,
Everywhere, all I hear is mindless and confusing chatter-�
Not sure where to turn, not sure what to do, not sure who to find-�
Not sure how to avoid this torment? How do I fight these demons inside?
Yet, I will tell you, -�Believe in yourself-? and they will all subside.
All the clouds may come and the darkness may spread,
Night and day the raindrops may fall, down upon my head.
Gash they may at my appearance and disrupt my good looks,
Even washing away my tears and hopes-� my faith wont be shook.
Looking at my reflection, I know myself: every cranny and nook.
Overbearing doubts, anguish and fear attack me when I-�m weak,
Fortunately, for every canyon, there is always a fortified peak.
Troubling times happen when love is confusing and undefined-�
How could it be? When there is no connection: body, soul or mind?
Empty and sad is how I feel; despite he is courteous, smart and kind.
Times like this, I may feel trapped in my own secluded shell-�
I will break out, I will persevere, its a matter of time will tell.
My future holds unknown stories and countless ticks of time-�
Every second counts, with various emotions I could even mime-�
Storms may come and storms may go, but the rainbows always shine.
*authors note* reading the first letter of each line reveals a message for you.
It reads, “Jenny – Angel of the Times”
I know the weather sucks sometimes, but there is always sunny days ahead.
Always look ahead, to the next good adventure.
Dont ever give up, cause I havent given up on you. ^_^
~ brought to you by the letter J
Jenny’s note – “the letter J” wrote this at 3am-ish on a rainy night followed by a sunny morning. It continues to amaze me how many of my friends are such talented artists in many different ways. And some of my best poems popped into my head in the middle of the night, but I usually rolled over and went back to sleep or couldn’t read my writing in the morning, so maybe I just think they were my best ones. 
I’ve learned my lesson
Monday, March 28th, 2005From now on I’m blogging in text pad & using copy paste so I don’t lose nice big long posts like that to a server error…. sigh….
Easter weekend
Monday, March 28th, 2005The much more concise version as blogger errored and lost the original… grrrr.
Friday: Went back to my hometown. Saw mom & brother and some cousins & aunt. Met cousin’s super cute little baby (born Feb, first child out of all the cousins). Almost fell asleep relaxing and holding the baby as she slept. Also got to see mom’s store for the first time since she bought it and it looks great. I’m really proud of her.
Saturday: Drove home to meet up with CS and go to Bay Area for sister’s birthday and Easter festivities. Watched 3rd Lain dvd on the way. Interesting series and I’m looking forward to the last disk. Speaking of Netflix, did I mention I finally filled our queue? 500 dvd limit….. Anyway, we got there and went out for italian for birthday lunch with his mom and sister. Yummy food and then we went to see Robots which was so funny it made me laugh out loud a few times, which is darned rare. Makes me wish I’d see Ice Age on the big screen since they were done by the same company. Which is “Blue Sky.” Who I’ve never heard of…. I thought Pixar and Dreamworks was it for cg stuff like this. Now I’ll have to go research it. Anyway, I was a bit worn out by all the activity by then so I grabbed a bit of shut-eye before heading off to their dad’s place to do birthday gifts and go to dinner at Benihana’s. The chef put on a great show, so it was really fun, and I’m glad I got to go. I think I’m set now for the next 10 years or so, though. I don’t need the slow service or the crowd.
Sunday: I got to look for easter eggs in WoW for a bit before it was time to head to CS’s aunt & uncle’s place in Livermore. There was a ton of good food and CS got to ogle his sister’s boyfriend’s psp and play for a bit. The cinnamon rolls CS & his sister had been mentioning all day Saturday were indeed quite tasty. An egg hunt followed for the two youngest there (his sister & cousin) and everyone helped a bit. The garden was lovely and made for many good hiding spots among the flowers and bushes. They also had a kumquat tree and let me fill a couple bags to take home. They taste like a sweet & sour candy (which I love!) and they’re fruit so they’re healthy! On the way home I watched Miss Congeniality, which was cute, but I really don’t see how they’re squeezing a sequal out of it. (Speed 2 anyone?) After that I got the wireless working again and settled in to obsessively collecting easter eggs in WoW. Probably due to the stress of the weekend. In a mild case of sour grapes I’ve decided that I don’t want the easter dress anymore as pink is not my color. Hmph. All that time wasted and I could have leveled to 30 and gotten my travel form back.
Upcoming: a week of chores to get caught up from these busy weekends and to finally get sluggo and kill those snails!!! And a weekend trip up the coast with CS for my birthday, yay!
Forgetting….
Thursday, March 24th, 2005passwords is bad…. so I had internet last night. But I wasted an hour trying to remember my wireless base station’s admin password so I could set it up to work. The stupid thing doesn’t have a reset button and the other stuff I’d need to reset it was all at CS’s place. So I was a bit cranky last night. Urg.
NO DSL!!!!
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005ARGH! No internet for 2-3 days as they switch me over to the cheaper dynamic ip plan instead of the fixed ip plan. Sigh……
Another blog free weekend…
Monday, March 21st, 2005And the first thing I have to say is, DIE SNAILS! DIE!!!
I’m so happy, my local Ace Hardware carries Sluggo, the non-toxic slug and snail bait. And as CS said, yes, the warnings on the regular stuff had me imagining dead dogs, cats, squirrels and birds littering the neighborhood. Luckily I saw an ad for this stuff at the vet and called to see if Ace could order it – but they carry it! Yay.
Oh, so why was I at the vet? Mr. Mocha had been sneezing so I called friday and they had an appointment available. But since he has no other symptoms they think he probably just has the kitty version of herpes… only it isn’t an std and instead of cold sores he just gets sneezey for a week or so. And there isn’t anything I need to do or worry about.
MM came over Friday to watch some anime so we got the first disk of You’re Under Arrest (the second series, not the original ova – although I haven’t seen a difference so far) before the vet appointment. Later that night, after some WoWing we went to MMs place for some bbq (yum yum!!!) and Settlers, which I didn’t win… but I did come in second. We didn’t gang up on MM enough.
Saturday was mostly WoWing with a trip to J&SPs to get some stuff they were getting rid of in their move across the hall. Yay! Stuff, hehe. Including a cool lamp which JP & CS both find disturbing but SP & I like it. 
Sunday was more of the same, only I went home to take care of kitties and WoW from there.
Good & Bad
Thursday, March 17th, 2005Well, went to physical therapy today… and he could tell I’d been slacking off on my stretches and exercises, and from the couple headaches I’ve gotten recently I could too. So I need to work it into my getting home routine so that I do it regularly after work.
The good is that I just got my tax paperwork back yesterday and I dropped it in the mail (signed of course) today! So hopefully I’ll get my nice fat refund check soon.
Also, today I’m feeling sick of my glasses and thinking about looking into laser surgery and wondering how much insurance covers.
Also, last night CS & I ran an instance in WoW and got my staff that I wanted, yay!
