It's a game by the same people that make the other game I play. It's been in and out of beta for 4 years now. But this time they are seriously doing it and got the bugs worked out. XD
I was looking through some pictures over the past couple of years and I've noticed something. In my most recent one, you can really see the weight loss.
For anyone that doesn't know, I've lost 40 pounds since December.
Some of you may think that is unhealthy or whatever, but I still eat perfectly fine and such. This is what happens when my meds get changed. I lose or gain weight.
In my case, over time I've gained too much weight. Now I'm losing it and it is nice.
People would aim for their high school weight, I am not at this point. I'm aiming for a nice healthy 165-170. To most, that is overweight still. I'm 5 foot 7 and I have rather bigger extremities. And no, those are NOT from weight gain. Those were big before I gained weight. So 165 is acceptable.
If I aimed for my high school weight of 140, I would be pushing unhealthy levels. My chest area is rather huge and even though I've lost 40 pounds, I haven't lost any there. 140 would be as unsafe now as it was then for me. I was very sick then and not getting nutrients I needed because I was attempting to stay low weight for wrestling. It was stupid and now I have learned my lesson. I will be reasonable. 150 is the desired weight for my height. 165 is only 15 pounds over that. I feel that is ok if it's muscle and with good reason.
Today and Saturday have passed without much issue. First time in years that has happened.
Saturday I did cry. I cried at sunset. I looked down, and my mp3 player for some reason knew to play his song. They were silent tears like always. I miss him. That won't change.
Today I experienced love and romance in a way I should have years ago. It was nice to be touched in that way. Sean was very scared at first, but I explained to him my trust that he wouldn't hurt me. It was nice.
I want to write pages and pages of my thoughts, but I can't. I can't formulate the words properly.
I got transported back to that mindset today when I got about 100 valentines left in my mailbox at work from kids. And there was a piece of candy attached to each and every single one of those.
It was possibly the best feeling to walk into work after lunch and see my mailbox stuff with pink, red, and hearts from the kids.
No, I'm not single. As most of you guys know, I do have my other half. He didn't get me flowers, or some sweet chocolates. He didn't shower me in stuffed animals or fancy gifts today. He left me a Monster Mocha Loca on the desk when he left for work and gave me a kiss before leaving. Like he does every single day of the year. We always treasure each other no matter what the day. When the Valentines Day stuff first showed up in the stores he did buy me a purple candy rose. Does that count? XD
But seriously. The best part of today was the fact the kids did that for me. I'm not upset with my boyfriend. Far from it actually. It's not the end of the world if he doesn't get me flowers, candy, or stuffed animals. I don't need that stuff. I still ♥ him no matter what. :)
Happy Valentines Day VR. Even if you hate this day because it's fake or retarded or whatever. Tomorrow candy is half off. Enjoy that thought at least. :D
yep yep...and in the morning you got to make little mail boxes to put your valentines in...i miss those days :) now i want some of those chalky candy hearts
I have faith that you will find the one you are looking for. :) I will also think happy thoughts so that they fly over to you and give you the positive motivation to keep looking.
Yes you will find one! And you are so right to say no to that!

So. In light of recent events, I do have some fantastic news.
News that has been on hold due to the boyfriend being laid off. But now he is back and hired fulltime so no random layoffs. :D
Brace yourselves.
We found a house!
Well sort of. It's a little house a few blocks from where we are at currently and it needs some work, but the price is to die for.
It's listed at 8,900. You are reading that correct. Less then ten thousand dollars.
What is wrong with it? Well it needs some love like I said. But nothing that can't be fixed with a bit of work. There are 5 windows that have full panels of glass missing. The frames are in tact, just missing the glass. There is a hole in the ceiling. It doesn't go to the outside, and it can be fixed with some sheetrock. The backdoor...missing glass. But a replacement door would suffice.
The plumbing, roof, and electrical wiring is fine. We checked all of that. It has newer appliances and comes with a fridge, stove, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. There are some holes in the walls but again, sheetrock can fix it.
Also, the cabinets and the counter in the kitchen could use a little work, but they aren't bad. It's just the color.
The part that put Sean off the most? The walls are all hot pink and the carpet is bright orange and shag. The house is a 4 bedroom place with a garage and a basement. It was built in 1905 and even has a fireplace.
I got curious while we were looking at it and pulled up the shag carpet near the bathroom....there is hardwood floors under it.
They want a 300 dollar down payment. I think we can handle that.
We are going to offer 7,500 to start and go from there though. We also may get a loan for a bit more so we can fix the windows right off the bat. The rest of it can be done over time.
I am SOOO Happy you guys found ya'll a HOME! Isnt it the best feeling in the world to be able to look at the person you love and say, "WE have a HOME."
Every time I look at my guy and say OUR home, I just smile because its OURS. We got it together. ♥
And remember, to make a HOME you have to put lots of LOVE into it. Working on a house and putting effort, work, and love into it day by day is what makes a house a home. Its what makes you grateful for it and cherish it.
Way to go Sis! I will keep my fingers crossed it all works out and you get it at that price. Great find.
:D
So happy for you two.

Oi vey.
Well after some fumbling around and sitting staring at dofus bored.
It hit me.
After my last big issue with my computer, to avoid having to reinstall a million and half things to my hardrive, I started to run psp from my external hard drive....
I tagged. I was happy.
I'll post it later, right now I need to do my promised run of the night.
I owe people graphics. I know this. But lemme explain something about me tagging. I don't have many fonts installed. I believe I only installed four. The four I use the most. xD
I'll get to those when I feel like it. Tagging with a laptop is funky to me. xD
Today was better. I did have to do a write up, but the kid understood why and took it and was ok about it. He knew he was wrong for saying what he said.
Other then that, today was rather good. The day was nice and smooth. No major issues. Maybe it's a sign?
Last night after logging off, I sat down and Sean and I talked.
What happened yesterday was not between him and I. It was between myself and his mother.
What I didn't know, was later that evening, his father stepped up and told Sean that he wouldn't allow me to be booted out in the snow. It wouldn't be right.
The circumstances surrounding last night were very messed up and hard to explain. As far as today is concerned, today is a new day and it will be better.
I do have a backup plan and this one is very solid. My mother offered to take myself and Sean in if we can find a way to make it to Florida. If both of us go to Florida, we can do it. We have a car and a good bit of cash to fund gas/food on the way.
Sean told me point blank if I'm kicked out, he is going with me.
I slept rather ok last night given the day. I think the stress knocked me on my ass.
Before heading to bed I did log into my guild for a second. They didn't know what was going on. No one had an idea. But they knew I wasn't having a good day.
Between them caring the the amazing people here that are concerned, I think that is what helped me sleep. But I am good today. Sean stated, we have a place until the snow melts. Then he joked that we may be here a while because we have like 8 feet of snow in the backyard.
*hugs you with love being sent through the interwebbiers*

Glad to see in my emails that shit was sorted out and apologies were handed out.
The MPT/PTE mess is solved.
Owner of MPT jumped the gun on announcing something when Jolene backed out on it. It was confirmed later and everyone is happy now. Customers are not upset (well some are still being cuntmuffins but what can ya do?) but for the most part everyone is happy.
It was agreed that Jolene will train the new staff at MPT so that we will be left in good hands. :D
Now. Garv is going to announce something about the future of his gals.
I didn't do my tag for anyone last night. And I don't know if I will get it tonight either :(
But I will catch up this weekend.
This afternoon, one of the bigger companies in the tagging world had some shit hit the fan.
Every staff member over at MPT jumped ship. And a new company opened up tonight. So the community is a bit in uproar.
This is about a month after the closing of CILM and the opening of CDO and all the drama with that.
Let's just say that wasn't a pretty situation.
I ♥ MPT. I loved the customer service and staff there. I have already made a small purchase over at the new store. I will support the new store. I was very aware of this happening. But as for the future of MPT, I'm not sure what will happen.
It concerns me because MPT holds two of my favorite artists. Elias and Garv.
CILM I didn't really give a shit about. But I ♥ my Elias tubes. I will cry without them. :(
In another point. I did place in MPT's VDay contest.
LOL
Just as this shit hit the fan they ended all the contests early. *giggles* So I placed and won some free shit.
maybe some of the artists will follow and leave MPT

Some of the members of this site are beyond amazing.
They know who they are. And right now that relief came at the perfect time.
Some of you guys don't know it, but my boyfriend was laid off a couple of weeks ago.
We are making do on his income tax return and what we had in savings.
Last night the space heater we use to keep the part of the house we rent (2 bedrooms and a bathroom) warm bit the dust. After some examination, we saw what the problem was. The only real fix would be buying a new one.
He will get his job back, we know this for a fact. That much was promised to us. The big issue was that my last paycheck was tiny. Very tiny.
I didn't work for 2 weeks in December. So I didn't get paid much. It's not my fault. Winter break=no school. That means no money.
Yes. I am getting a new computer. For those that are concerned where the money is coming for that. Well my mother is paying for it. And it was ordered before he was laid off.
Food is a bit tighter right now, but we will make it. Just a space heater wasn't exactly on the "to buy" list for this week. Well it made that list this morning.
But thanks to an awesome Duck. It's not a big worry right now. ♥
I am starting to hate the days we keep the kids inside.....
With a passion.
Today was just bad. We told the first graders to sit there quietly for five minutes. Each time one person would make noise, we would restart the timer.
I learned today that they can't sit there for more then a minute without making noise.
Then the boys....they wanted to be beaten. I swear by it.
The third grade girls thought it would be cute to beat on some of the boys. And then say they started it. I was standing there the entire time. Those boys can be bad at times. I know this. But dammit, don't walk up to two boys that are playing by themselves and just smack one boy across the face and then run off. Then try to get him in trouble when he turns around to scream at you. Not cool.
Second graders. Oh lord. I will box them up and send them to you guys if you need revenge. That is all I'm going to say at this point.
Today was interesting. I wore makeup to work for the first time ever.
I also styled my hair.
Why? Well that was the question all the little boys kept asking me as they stared in awe and kept hugging me...
We had a meeting this afternoon with a parent who had concern about her daughter being bullied during recess about her heritage and her weight.
I wanted to look a bit professional today at that meeting instead of my normal jeans/t-shirt and no make up deal. So yeah.
The meeting went well. When asked what did I do to attempt to stop the name calling I was honest and told the mother that I separated the girls and spoke with them each on a different level about emotions and how words can affect a person. I told the girl that was being bullied to be proud of who and what she was. Also to ignore them and tell them that big girls just have more love to share with the world. The little girl smiled and told her mom that was exactly what I told her. The other child wasn't in the meeting, but for those of you curious of what I told her. I simply told her being nasty would affect her in a bad way when she gets older. That she needs to stop and try to be nicer to everyone. If she didn't stop calling the girls names I would write her up. My concern was helping the one being bullied to have better self esteem and not to worry about the nasty girls. I didn't focus on the mean one.
After the meeting the mother told me that she wasn't upset about what I told her daughter and was glad I said that to her. She simply wanted to know what was going on at the school so she could figure out what could solve the issue.
I think we covered some ground today, but I know girls are still going to be mean.

YAY!!!!!
I wish I could game, but I don't have attention span.

You don't need an attention span for Dofus. It's turn based. You can take your turn and then do something else while everyone else does. XD
It's great because I sit there, play Dofus and then rate a few things, take my turn, rate a few things.
