Wow, an action-packed weekend, and a quick start to what will probably be a super busy week...
I connected to a lot of old acquaintences on Facebook this past weekend. Awesome. I guess I'm officially out of hiding. I have quite a few responses that I need to get to, but it also probably means that I have many more readers of my blog. (The content of my blog gets syndicated on Facebook.) Thanks everyone!
My mom uses an older Mac that I had. I have a PowerBook G4, and if I ever come into some extra money, I might upgrade to a 17-inch MacBook Pro. I still keep my desktop PC for games, and I don't see that changing at the moment. Anyway, the reason I gave my mom the Mac was because the accessibility features were top notch, compared to Windows XP anyway. However, My mom might be able to benefit from having a PC and I wanted to investigate how screen magnification works in Vista. My mom's vision isn't great, and the zoom feature in Mac OS really helps her out. I'd like to upgrade her to Mac OS X Leopard so that I can do remote desktop assisance more easily. Options? If you're reading this, and you care, hit me up.
I hit the doctor's office for a 3-month checkin. Hemoglobin A1C is rock bottom 6.0 so, apparently, this working out and eating better has done a little somethin' something. Weight is down to 293 (officially) a little higher than what I've seen on the scale, but hey, it's about 45 pounds from what the doctor observed by browsing through my chart. We'll be cutting one of my meds down to half, and I'll have to watch my sugar when I exercise to make sure that I don't go hypoglycemic.
Oh, and my wife's sister had a little baby shower this weekend. We also finally got a few of the baby things that we were saving from our two kids over to Amy and Paul's house. They're getting the baby's room together, and I think we might have to spend some time helping them prepare their home for the arrival. We'll see.
We took the kids to a fire truck showing at the library branch this weekend. I took a few pictures, but I don't know how many of them turned out well. I'll try to put some up on my blog for everyone, but no promises. Scott pooped his diaper, so we cut the visit short. They had fun.
Since my kids were up in Fort Wayne Sunday Afternoon with Holly and her Dad, I got some personal time this weekend. After a long struggle and much internal debate, I decided to return the set-top antenna I purchased and empty the coin savings jar and pick up Warhammer Online. I only got a quick spin in, but I'd say I'd rather play that than World of Warcraft right now. I don't know if WotLK will change that, because I *still* haven't gotten any end-game content, so they're just adding more stuff I'll probably never see.

A couple of my WoW guild friends have been hitting up Warhammer...I doubt I will try it...just not a lot of time.
"Still" havent' gotten any end-game content? Man, I don't know what server you are on, but if you need help, maybe we can hook up...I've got 2 70's and a 68 I'm currently leveling on Daggerspine (Alliance). We run Kara once or twice a week and have started hitting some ZA bosses. Always could use another reliable guildie...
Heh... It's more about time. I can't ever get more than an hour at a time to play. I've got two small children, and a full-time job and a bunch of stuff going on with my family. If I could get a 4-hour block of time in any sort of regular frequency, I might have gotten to the endgame.
So, that's really it. I'm not "reliable". LOL. The last thing someone wants to to hear in the middle of a raid is "oh, sorry, I gotta go AFK" or "I can only play for 30 minutes tonight".
I really can't even sacrifice a 4 hour block of sleep anymore either. I'm just too old for that.
I hear ya... I've got one small child (15 months) and another coming this month, so I am sure things are going to change quite a bit with a second one in the house. Granted, our 15 month old goes to bed at 7:30pm and seeing that my wife and I share a craft/hobby/office room upstairs, its pretty easy for me to play for 2-3 hours while she is crafting and both of us watch/listen to TV.
Yeah, we have a guildie or two that go afk for a while...granted, for something like kara, we have that down pat, so its mainly just getting badges for our alts.
