I Miss WOW

I am about to confess a couple of things that only a few people know about me.

First, about this time last year I was in a not so good relationship. It wasn't necessarily a bad relationship, but it also wasn't one of my proudest moments. He was a nice guy, but a huge flake and it drain a lot out of me. I felt like I needed to take care of him, because I do that with everybody...guess it is my one and only maternal streak.

Second, about this time last year I started playing World of Warcraft, a.k.a. WOW. I was introduced to this phenomenon because of guy mentioned above. He was a total WOW freak and was up to like Level 70 or something when I met him. He belonged to guilds and totally lived the game. I started playing so that we would have something to talk about and it gave him something to help me with. Plus, it was a lot of fun to come home at the end of a frustrating day and go on line to fight trolls. I never really concentrated on advancing any single character, instead, I had like 8 characters in different worlds that I would move around and play. I more enjoyed creating new characters than advancing any single one character.

So, you may be asking why do you miss WOW? Well, when guy from above dumped me I wanted to wipe everything about him out of my life (that didn't really work, because we still chat periodically, but whatever) and that included stopping my playing of WOW. I not only stopped playing, I canceled my membership, I removed it from my computer, and gave away my copy. Lately, though I sorta miss coming home and playing. I miss building my characters up and running around finding expanding my map of the world of warcraft.


Well now you know, I have poor taste in men and I'm totally a geek at heart.

It Finally Happened

Well, my body has finally made the decision that crappy junk food from McDonald's is not to be eaten. And yes, Mom, I broke my promise that I wouldn't eat there anymore...

Let me give you a little background. About three weeks ago I had some blood work done and went the the doctor for my annual physical and it didn't come back so well. I won't go into all of that, but let it be said that I made some quick changes in my lifestyle, which includes eating better and exercising. I now walk for about an hour or more at least four times a week and I do Pilate's twice a week (although I'm fixin' to change that plan to Monday, Wednesday, Friday walking and Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday Pilate's and Sunday relaxing with the possibility of a stroll or something non strenuous). And, I've started eating better. I cook some, I have regular meals, healthy snacks, and drink LOTS of water.

So, I'm doing good, or so I thought. Yesterday I went for my walk. I walked along the shore for about an hour and a half and decided that I would "treat" myself and stop at the golden arches for some chicken nuggets. I came home, had my nuggets and ranch dressing, relaxed for a while then went to bed. I woke up at 2 AM out of a dead sleep and threw up. I know, not the most pleasant thing to know about me. All day today I've been feeling just blehcky and have now completely sworn off McDonald's and this time I mean it. I know that my "issues" may not be with what I ate, but I saw "Super Size Me" and I've learned my lesson.

Bad Blogger, Bad Blogger...

I know, I've been a very bad blogger this past week and have not provided any new fodder for comment on my blog, nor have I been out there reading the HCBC ring of bloggers' blogs and commenting appropriately. The Queen even insinuated that my membership in the HCBC could be in jeopardy if I do not step up and start participating again. I must beg you all for forgiveness. My only excuse is that I just haven't been motivated to fire up the computer in the evenings when I have time to blog and I'm not nearly techno savvy enough, nor do I have the proper tools, to mobile blog like so many of the HCBC ring. Perhaps I haven't been blogging because I just feel inferior to all of you Blackberry Mobile bloggers....

Anyway, that is my excuse, I again beg for forgiveness, and will make every effort to remove myself from the probation list of the HCBC ring.
