Wednesday: golf

Ben and I went to the driving range with some friends after work.

Here's the latest on the landscaping. The back wall has been started. The picture is very blurry, but at least gives an idea.

Tuesday: we have a wall!

Hmm, the stone and the dirt contrast more in real life. Ah well, it's a beautiful wall.

Monday: rocky ground

Landscaping started today. Here is a large rock they took out of the trench behind it. The size of the rock and trench are hard to see. :(


Here is all of our retaining wall...

And here is the electric and gas lines. We'll note that they are supposed to be buried 2 ft underground, but, uh, aren't. Ben dealt with this situation which luckily could have been much worse before telling me about it. Yay Ben! He knew I would stress and there wasn't anything I could do about it.

Sunday: thanks to Discover card

Well, after several, several years of saving up our cashback bonus with Discover card we finally decided to used some of it. We got a new printer.



WoW news: I finally hit exalted with Shattered Sun. Why do you care? Because I can now make a super healing trinket. The problem is that I need about a gazillion more mats before I can actually make it.

Also, this new Shattered Sun area has caused some serious inflation/deflation on the auction house. Today I would like to complain about cloth. It is more economically wise to make a stack of bandages and vendor them than to sell the cloth on the AH. However the environmentalist in me screams bloody-murder at this. I feel like I am polluting my environment.

Saturday: a nice day.

Saturday was a nice day. Travis was over and we enjoyed that. We also watched Serenity, which culminated the Firefly series. It brought together a lot of plot lines, so that was nice.

We also had some friends from church over for dinner and games.

Friday: wine tasting

Tonight I went to a wine tasting with Laura and several people I didn't know. It was pretty fun. I had an apple and a raspberry wine that I liked. The rest of it...eh, just ok. But it was fun to do something different and meet some new people.

Thursday: sitting in a raid

Well, we're back to our least favorite boss fight...council. It has an adjective in front of it. Illidian's council? Illidari council? Whatever, it doesn't matter. We pretty much always take about ten tries to kill them. And it isn't as though we're still learning the fight. We just can't do it.

Anyway, so we just all died and now were waiting for someone new to come in so you have to listen to my ramblings. I've already checked all my comics and tried the crossword puzzle and even looked at the news. I've also checked the bank accounts (still no economic stimulus check).

So work has been a little annoying the past few days. I just feel like I'm trying to fix a lot of stuff that is broken. Hopefully it'll get better in a few days though. I've also been "invited" to present at a meeting for some fairly high level people on what I'm doing. I'll admit, I figured the first "presentation" I had to give would at least include some people that I know for support. Oh well, I've given enough of these types in school that that part should at least be fine.

Oh, we just killed them. I didn't think we were going to. It was kind of a how-many-people-can-die-and-we'll-still-win? Now onto Illidian which has some of the same problems but at least we haven't beaten it yet so it feels a bit different.
