Springtime and BBQ!

Isn't it lovely when you got a week off from work and the weather is summer-like? (Of course it is, it was a retorical question silly!)
And it's even better when you get to have a BBQ every day of said week. :)
Today is porkchop day. With the porkchops we'll have rice, bernaise, potatosalad, corn and some other BBQ essentials. Can't wait. *squeeeee*

Got my hair cut and coloured today, so now I'm a redhead. :)
Was really nice to get a proper hairdo for once. Since I'm trying to let my hair grow it's all over the place most of the time and I can't do anything with it. >.< But now I can ! *angelic choir*

Anyways, that's me signing out cause dinners ready :)

Enjoy the weekend. xoxox Val

KIttens and computers....

I'm really starting to get upset about my future PC. Every paycheck I think; "Yes, this time it's going to work, I can afford it this month." and every paycheck there has been an unsuspected bill of some sort. Wether it's the car insurrance or phone bill it basically renders me unable to pay for my PC, thus I'm not getting it that month (not this one either).
Not sure about next month either, because the people "managing" the country saw fit to make sure I had to pay more taxes. So the next time I get payed 40% of my earnings go back to the government.... I'm 22 years old damnit! I'm not supposed to pay more in taxes then my parents. /sigh....

Got 2 good news though, at least good news for me. :)

Lucky, my cat, gave birth to three really cute kittens on tuesday :D
Think it's 3 girls (might be wrong, gotta wait till they're a bit older to be sure), one's black and the two others are silver tabby's. They're soooooo cute. Going to try to get some pictures up if I can just find the right cable for my camera (it's gotta be somewhere in the house.)

The other good news is that in september me and my parents are of on a weeks holiday to.... *drumroll* Crete!!! And without my baby brother (I say baby, but he's 19 years old and 2 meters high...). I can't wait! Gonna take so many pictures that I can fill 2 albums at least :D
We're staying at : Have a look :)

In other news:

- Bought a pair of rollerblades on tuesday (got to take em for a "spin" as well, was well fun.)
- Had the seasons first BBQ last weekend. Yum yum. :)
- Last week my then pregnant cat managed to get herself chased up a tree and we had to get her down. (it was a really tall tree as well)
- Got some very nice plans for saturday; a nice roadtrip, a walk in the park with my aunt and a nice meal and dessert when we get back home.

Happy Easter (almost :P)

Yes yes, I know I'm terrible at updating these things, I should be better. Part of the problem is that my laptop isn't working as intened at the moment. Keeps crashing on me. Will hopefully get an über PC soon :)

Since last I wrote we've gotten a cat: Lucky. She is really cute, about 8 months old now. And she might be pregnant. (I really hope she isn't though, she's too young)
And we've settled into the house now, still looks a bit messy, but it's home :)
Oh, and I've finally picked up my car and started using it. <3 Toyota <3

In WoW news: My hunter is now 80 (yay), but not very well geared sinced my laptop crashed before I got around to raiding..... /sob
Oh, and I left Loki... for many different reasons really, none which I wish to post in this blog.
And I have joined Children of Twilight, will hopefully get to raid with them soon. (need to get a bit more money for the pc first though)


I've also been listening to podcasts a lot when I'm at work, and I have totally fallen in love with Blue plz!, it's awesome. TB is just so ruipe with sarcasm :) I'm just worried that he forgets to breath sometimes, that man can talk for 2 hours straight (true!); and I don't think he draws his breath except for during the musicbreaks.....
He has a blog on here too, think it's called Blog plz! Check it out :)


That's all for now, Val signing out.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)

Christmas is over and 2009 is on the doorstep.
Me and my boyfriend have moved in together in a house (lovely on at that) and we're holding a small new years party today. And when I say small I mean small. Only Lyz and my brother are coming, the rest that we invited couldn't come.
Gonna post some pics of the house when I get around to it :)

In other news: My hunter is still exploring the lovely northrend and is now lvl 77 (almost 78), had to get rid of Hogger, he bugged out on me /sniffles.
Gonna get a new tanking pet a bit later, thinking about a gorilla.

Oh, and the 29th of december me and my b/f had been togther a whole year and I got a beautiful ring, white gold and diamonds (yes, REAL diamonds) ;) well happy about that :D <3

Anyway, need to hit the shower and stuff soon, so enjoy the evning and the new year everyone. All the best to you and your kin.

Val out!

The Wrath of Arthas!

WotLK is out and guess what?! It's awesome! I love it! There is so much lore to be explored, Arthas (the lich King), Tirion Fordring (the new Ashbringer) , Alexandros Morgraine (the old Ashbringer) and his son Commander Morgraine (the corrupted Ashbringer) who ended up working for the lich King for a while.
As it was released and the servers where up, there were so many on their way to Northrend that I decided to make a Death Knight to pass some time. And I didn't regret it. It was so much fnun going around and being evil, even if it was only for a short time. /sigh. But that came to an end as well, altgough in the best possible way. So much lore in one scene. <3 *luv luv*

Anyway, my hunter made it to Northrend the next day, and it was a bit easier to do the starting quests now that people was done with most of them. I started out in Howling Fjords, it looks fantastic. I don't think Blizzard has ever put so much effort into scenery before. The landscape is just wonderful. Can't wait to see the rest.

Hit 71 last night. :) Tried to tame a pet, but people killed it before it was mine so I couldn't do it before I had to go to work. *grumble*
But I did manage it when I get home from work at stupid-o'clock in the morning. With a little healing help from a friend of mine :) So I'm now the proud owner of Hozzer, a beautiful polar bear.

Back to WoW now...
Val out!

Ashamed...

I know I promised to write the day after the meeting, but it completely slipped my mind. I do appologize.

The meeting wasn't as bad as I expected though, so nothing had to change on my part. Although I have decided to put some more effort into my status as officer, to do my part in trying to get Loki back on it's feet. :)

When it comes to real life and me moving, going to call a few people today about renting a place. So we'll see what comes out of that.

Back to WoW, WotLK is closing in and i've finally got my fishing up to a decent skill, I can now fish in outlands. My cooking is up to 372/375 now, so not far left to go.
Trying to get some darkmoon fair tickets, so i can get more vanity pets on my hunter. Need 7 more to get the achivement for 50 pets. /sigh

That's all for today (maybe)

It's been aaaages!

It truly has. Been very busy with work as of late. Much more work to do now that I'm a fully certified traindriver. Working loads of night and early mornings, this morning for instance I was up at 4 am >.< Too early for me really, but it pays :)

In other news... Bah, nvm. It might change what I was about to write after the officer meeting on teamspeak tonight... Can't say I look forward to it...

Oh, I do have other news, I'm moving again. Just need to find a new flat... Hate looking for places to live.

Will write some more tomorrow, I promise!
