new protection

This is one of those entries you should NOT read if you are a guy. So, that said, I tried a new type of maxi. For quite a while, I've been using kotex overnights. This month, I tried a free sample of always infinity overnight. Same protection, lighter, more comfortable. I really like them. When I went to buy more, I saw that Always has a stronger pad! So in addition to the infinities for daytime, I bought Some extra long super overnights. I had 0 leeks this month! Normally, I throw away 3-5 pair of undies a month and this month, I got to keep the whole package! I'm soo stoked! lol I know, its a weird thing to get excited about, but I have gone my whole life without adiquit protection for my heavy cycles. FINALLY having something heavy enough totally rocks!

My idol picks

So far, my picks are::
lil Rounds!! Her story is the whole tornado thing, but who cares about stories when she can sing like THAT? I was in awe!
The oil rig worker!! I believe his name was Michael Sarver. I got chills!

game and good company

I watched a UT game tonight with my sons. Made me miss my Dad and brothers. Was such a close game I had to release the breath I had been holding when it was all over. TEXAS kicked bottom. On Christmas, I called my brothers and while talking to them, realized I had not talked to them in a couple of years. That's way weird for me. I love my brothers. How did we fall out of touch that badly? When I'm over this bug altogether, I'll invote them over. My house isn't much, but its home and I've been learning how to cook. I also have fingernails again. Last few weeks, I've been forcing myself not to bite them. It's really hard! I'm reading the doomspell trilogy by Cliff mcNish. It's a really good book. I got it for Billy for christmas and borrowed it as soon as he was done reading it. I am sooo glad he's finally taking an interest in reading. With as much trouble as he had learning to read and as much as he used to hate it, its a relief to finally be able to share books with him.
Other than that, we've just been renovating our house and working and looking for another job. It would be nice to pull our heads out of the water again. :)

Good news: only the occasional migraine lately and usually associated with being a woman. One was food, but we quickly ided the culprit (recipe below for non migraine sufferers)

It's a classic: Chicken Ittaliano. Fill pan with ittalian dressing. Put in chicken. Let sit in over 2 hours. Put in over at 325ish and cook 15 minutes per pound. It's soo delish...ALMOST worth the 3 day migraine it gave me.

Our prayer wall (above) will soon be getting a friend in the form of an awards wall. Tonight, at 7pm, Billy and Bobby were supposed to be at Civil Air Patrol, where Billy was supposed to get an award for completing his first flight, but Bobby had an awards ceremony and concert for choir at 7 also. I'm so proud of them both, but it stinks that I had to choose which to go to. I chose to go to the choir one and watch Bobby get a medal for his UIL solo, mainly because it was inside and ice was forming on the windows. Hubby wants to dedicate a wall to their awards, so thats what I'll be working on in my spare time next week. Bobby has several awards from church and choir and Billy has his from art and now from CAP. :) Will post pics of the wall when I get it ready.

choir

Bobby had a choir concert last night. The boys' choir at his school is small, but good. I got several good pics and a couple of sound bites.

Billy is begging to drive again. Might give that a try again on sunday.

Vacation

for those of you who miss my phography, I put a gallery up at www.justwhatyoualwayswanted.com
Has all the pics from my latest vacation.

driving lessons

I spent a good part of the day today teaching Billy how to drive. We worked on turns and 3 points. A little nerve wracking at times, but he was a really fast learner and by the time we got home from the run, he was confident enough to park next to his dad's jeep. We stuck toaround the neighborhood and probably will for a few lessons. I figure we'll save the rough stuff for after he has a learner's permit.

start with YOUR OWN clan's people.
You will need 25 people that will commit to play 50 or so games straight.
(takes my team at the most 2 hours to complete 50 games)
You need:
4 archers-stand in towers and kill anything that comes near gate
8 cleaners-kill monsters in front of portals, with spinners being priority targets
3 high level players to kill portals-go to portals as they are unshielded and anniate them
4 defenders-stand in middle and kill anything that comes near the void knight
3 gate keepers-repair gates and keep them shut kill anything that comes near your gate
3 rovers-fill in where you see a need or where anyone shouts for help,
if not needed for anything, they are to kill any monsters to come to the middle gate.

archers bring: 2 crystal bows each.
cleaners bring: best wepons, preferably dragon hally
portal killers bring: abyssal whip
defenders bring: best wepons, preferably dragon hally
gate keepers bring: best wepons and a hammer and some logs (about 15 per game)
rovers bring: best wepons

before the game, assign positions.
split into 4 teams, one for each portal.
each portal needs:
2 cleaners, 1 archer
each gate needs a gate keeper. there are 3 gates
the void knight gets the defenders

after each portal is down, everyone except cleaners become rovers.
Cleaners for downed portals kill all monsters in the portals' area, then become rovers.
Some players prefer to continue their current job on the next portal, this usually works out ok.

Hints:
shifters port to middle way before the gate, so gate must be kept closed and rangers need to keep an eye out for them.
target them first.
Target a monster, get it to attack you, then switch targets.
If a monster line is attacking the middle, target the monsters behind the attacking monsters,
get them to attack you, then kill the first in line, otherwise, you get a neverending line of attackers.
Give gate keepers a few to restock on logs between each game.
Use clan chat to communicate.
Keep private chat to off.
If you are invaded, switch worlds.
If a team member is caught not doing their job, let them stay until you can replace them, then switch worlds

will add more as I remember :)
