3/31/2008 - Bubu's Want List 2008

Here is a list of upcoming items that would bring me great great joy... So many pretty things to put on the list I wont bore you with all of them... So I give you my top 4... ehh... I may add to it as time goes on...

1) Is there anything greater than Mario Kart? Oh wait... What was that Nintindo? Your putting it on Wii? Really? Wii? Do you not want me to ever play WOW again?

If you have not already experienced the joy that is Wii... highly advised... I still have fond memories of Kevin's grandmother, at Christmas... the holiday of joy and love of your fellow man and child.... shoving her great-grandchild out of the way so she could get at the controller again... Wii should be in every house across America... It is just too much fun... and now they add the greatness that is Mario Kart... AND... yes there is an AND... you can go on the internet and play up to 12 online... who is up for the challenge... I Bubu... challenge YOU!!



2) the Greatness that is WOW... expands again...



3) Drool... ok... More drool... this is Master Loots people... we are talking the leet beyond the purple... major candy... Hear me now... I will totally ninja these (#3and #4) if they drop in ZA... this is your warning... you will not get another...

Sigh... Coach... It's so pretty!



4) Dolce & Gabbana Peep Toe Platform Slingback $795... or like a gazillion badges...

3/28/2008 - The Greatness That is Monday

Monday now bring the greatest joy... Monday is all about Arena Night... we have a pretty good size team going now... and we are all about the fun... we laugh histerically for 1 hour straight... when we initiated people to the team we do their first run nekkid... lol... makes for a great night of the giggles...






Why does Nekkid Puck have a better tan than Bubu?
What are the other teams thinking when we do this?
Do they know we are probably laughing way more than they are?
Can every night be arena night?

We have a new recruit... Nekkid Gila will be apearing this Monday!! woot!!

3/20/2008 - Lena

Little Lena came to spend the night with me last night... *cough* well her momma came with her... but I got to soak up baby goodness!! Woot!!

I love you little Lena!

and Momma Mel, you are the best sister a girl could have... I love you!

3/20/2008 - Bubu, Go Prot!

This may never happen again... but it was great while it lasted!

3/20/2008 - How I Named This Blog

Ok... everyone has that point they reach in the game where they kinda... get bored? get tired? or just loose heart?

Sept of 07... I had reached that point... different factors figured into it... No one thing... but for a couple of weeks... I just wasn't that into the game... I know... quite shocking...

Then one event happened... Raid on Halaa... and something in me snapped... and I was 100% back... It was such a memorable experience that I was compelled to write... and for some reason I broke out in Rhyme...

I named this blog after this poem...

3/20/2008 - Tyrae's Purple Streak Across the Sky

3/12/2008 - I'm a Regular Joe

So at work… Service Company… Had to expect it at some point… They (they being corporate) decided they want to put GPS systems in our service vans… Guys are hacked… makes it seem like big brother doesn’t trust them… we in the office are hacked… cause it is more for us to keep up with, and more reports we have to answer to corporate on… boss man is hacked cause the cost of these things is out of control and it essentially hits our bottom line… so… no one in the office is thrilled… Van install is scheduled for this Friday….

Today we had our training class on the web site and the units…

It is an internet web conference… Dial in for voice…

I was not thrilled about having an hour taken out of my day for this hand holding session… I have too many other things I need to be doing… but in the spirit of liking my job and wanting to keep my job, I offer to host the training in my office…

So we dial in…

1st sign we get that this is not going to be a typical boring conference is when the guy starts talking… for my fellow WOW players… best description I can give you is… he sounded to me like a male blood elf paladin… twirling… (Yes he is still twirling) to my non WOW readers… he was flaming… hot to the touch… you will get burned if you stand too close to his fire…

It was about this time I look up to see that we no longer have male representation for the class... was that bad… so we are down to 2 women…

I literally laughed uncontrollably thru the 1st 20 mins of this class… have no real clue what he covered… when I was finally able to get some control over myself, I realized that this was GREAT blog material… so I took notes…

The following are the top 10 Greatest Training Class Quotes.

Thank you Sparky for the material!!

… Yeah… the name kinda suits him… kid you not… these are verbatim… I cannot make up stuff this good…

1) If you’re running Microsoft “Exploder” and go to the printer you might find dust on it. (Yeah... exploder... *blank stare*)

2) Your tech could be lost out in the world somewhere. (Cause that’s where we usually leave our techs)

3) I’m the Bad Santa of dispatchers. (*wink* aren't we all *purr*)

4) I’m doing the whole Miami Vise thing and I have to patrol the shore. (Cause pastels never go out of style?)

5) I am a circle guy. I never even consider the rectangle. (I myself am all about the moon) (Ok seriously wtf is up with this guy?!?)

6) If you’re best friends for life with your landmark, you can keep it. (Why thank you! I will treasure it always!)

7) He can go to a new development just being discovered. (Cause in 2008 we are still discovering new land in America)

8) We have 18-25 different flavors of reports. (Do you have Rocky Road?)

9) It would acknowledge the methane sensor, because your employee can blow up with out it, and that’s not good. (Ya think?)

10) I am a regular ol Joe. Well not too regular, but I am a Joe. (Bubba, you ain't just a whistling Dixie)

3/4/2008 - Time Marches On

Ehh… Thought it was an appropriate title for March… lol… well another year gone by… Tomorrow starts a new year for me… 34... Still not to comfortable saying that… Come about April, I should be used to it… ehh we will see… lol… All in all, life is pretty good… I have good friends… great marriage… great kid… love of my wonderful family… terrific job… Life is pretty good…
B-day reflections… I miss my early morning wake up call from my Grandma singing Happy Birthday… I still miss my afternoon b-day call from my mom... this is my 4th b-day without them… you would think I would be used to it by now… but yeah... not so much… Think it might have been easier with a bigger gap between their deaths… one month apart really still feels like a sucker punch in the gut… but…
Dad really makes up for it… I am truly blessed with the most wonderful dad a girl could have… He has been my rock thru every experience life has handed me… I am so very thankful that I have him… I love, that no matter how old I get, my dad always has the best advise and the best ear to bend… and no matter how silly, my dad still laughs at my jokes… I pray that I can live to be half as great as he is and that I can raise my daughter with as much skill and love as he gave me…
My husband is utter greatness… we will have been together officially 10 years in May… 6 years married in September… and he is just as sexy as the day I met him… It still amazes me that there is someone in this crazy world that understands me as well as he does… I am blessed to have found a partner in life’s journey that I can share the jog with…. He can still make me laugh till I cry, can surprise me when he wants to, can talk with me for hours, and can light the sheets on fire…. I am blessed…
My daughter is officially a teenager… I want my daughter to grow up to be an outstanding person, confident in her actions, and true to herself and others. I keep reminding myself that the teenage years don’t have to be painful if the foundation is solid... But goodness that foundation sure is taking some time to set... She is a terrific student… Her teachers are all quite fond of her… I will be glad when we get past the bump that all teens go thru… she really is growing up too fast… seems like yesterday she still thought I was the greatest thing in the world… and would follow me everywhere… right now she is going thru the hair phase… the one where little girls brush their hair for hours on end… lol… it will get better right:?!!?!
My job is awesome… I really enjoy what I do… and I love the fact that my boss has a personality… and I love that I can speak my mind and know he wont get offended… cause honey let me tell ya… wow I can have my moments… He truly listens to my thoughts and suggestions, and more often than not takes my advice, and rolls with it… I knew that he would be able to handle my outspoken personality when I first interviewed with him… with purple hair… (Accidents do happen) … and we still laugh about that interview… we talked nothing but NASCAR… how great is that… (Yeah, I am showing my true hick side there)
Ok… so gotta talk about the greatness that is wow… I tell you… I so enjoy that game… it is just so much fun! Love the friends I have made thru it, and I love that my husband and I play it together… it is something that we both truly enjoy… I really, really enjoy the raids… That is something I didn’t get to do pre-BC… so I am enjoying the heck out of it now… I think if I had one wish/request… I wish that every one of my friends got along with each other as well as I get along with them… I know that in life and in the game it is near to impossible for everyone to get along… but in my perfect world they would… Each of the friends I have made in the game, are really terrific people and I wish everyone got to see the greatness that I see in them… I miss my sister playing wow… We sure did have a lot of fun pst-ing back and forth… especially the “ding bitch”… Hopefully before too much longer she will be playing again… hope it is before the next expansion… lol… oh my speaking of expansion… I cannot believe that by the time it gets here I will have 3 toons to level up again… kinda stinks… but is kinda cool… I am not looking forward to replacing all my pretty, pretty purples with greens again… lol… I have really enjoyed being back with my old friends from EC in the new home of Brotherhood… BH fits me and my gang like a glove… and I really enjoy the people… I am so glad that my gang is all getting to do the end game content… has really been fun doing all these dungeons and raids together… and yes… I have finally gotten to the place where I love doing battlegrounds… course it took rolling another toon (Keldra) but boy howdy… BGs with a mage rock!! And the arena nights are the best… Monday’s greatness is that me and my 5 buddies all get together and laugh for a solid hour… and I still think it is funny that I am the youngest of our crowd… gotta get that age jab in there… And I tell you I am so thankful for my group... we 6 get together and laugh till we cry... I could not have picked 5 people who's company I enjoy more than my group... Tyrae, Lany, Lurick, Grasshopper, and Darkfate... you all make the game a blast...
So all in all… another year and no complaints… oh wait… one complaint… please stop the political campaign adds… I am so tired of it all… I know who I am going to vote for… I don’t want to see/hear the pathetic badly produced TV and radio adds any longer… and I really don’t care who people vote for… just so long as they do vote… voting statistics in our country are pathetically low… for a right we have, to choose who we want to run our country… everyone should make his/her vote count… it is free… and it is important… and it does count for something…
So here’s to a great year #34… hugs to you all!!

2/25/2008 - Random Memory That Hit Me Today

My momma used to have a bird that talked... was the loudest most annoying thing you ever heard... could run the vacuum with ear phones on and hear that bird screaming and squawking over it... He, however, did one thing that to this day I thought was the funniest thing I ever heard... Momma had cats... several of them... and that bird could mimic my mother exactly... and would taunt those cats... callin "here kitty kitty kitty" and when the cats would come over by him he would do this evil loud cackling witches laugh at them... and those cats would tuck tail and run every time.... would scare the daylights out of them.... to me, it sounded like he was laughing at those cats cause he fooled them...

2/24/2008 - Gotta Love the Dorky Hats

Can honestly say... this lovely hat will spend its time taking up a bank slot... lol... Lurick... Grass... you two SOOO rock that hat... lmao

2/24/2008 - Woot for Lany!!

Miss Lany... I am just so thrilled you got your flight form... that is just soooooo cool!! woot! So glad you let me be a part of it...

My favorite Boomkin Lany,
Plays even when it’s rainy.

She is known throughout the game,
One smiles, to just hear her name.

Grand Princess Poobah Owlbear,
Only the finest of purples she does wear.

She is so generous and kind,
With feathers on her behind.

The only moonkin in a tutu,
She would love to see one on you too.

Don’t tell her there’s no shackle,
Or her trees she’ll call to tackle.

Please lick her morning, noon, and night,
So she will giggle with the utmost delight.

She has danced her way into our heart,
I hope that we shall never part.

*grins*

Love ya Lany!!
