Pug fever!

I have been doing some research online about Pugs, and I cannot wait to own one of these adorable dogs. How can those precious faces not melt your heart?!? :)

The one and only thing I dislike about Pugs is the prices. They seem to usually sell anywhere from $600-$1,000, which is A LOT for a dog.

I actually had a chance to buy one of these dogs several years ago for $200 dollars, but my apartment building wouldn't allow it. :(

Wish me luck on my search for the perfect Pug. I know he(s) is out there, and I will find it. ;)

The Old Republic MMORPG

I stumbled across the new trailer for The Old Republic MMORPG and so far it looks amazing. Bioware has a great track record when it comes to games, which makes me hopeful this game will be great.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm ready for a fresh new game to play! ;)

American Idol.. Who knew?

I am surprised, to say the least, that I actually liked the season finale on American Idol.
I haven't actively watched the show since the first season, and the only times I watch it now is when they show the auditions, which I find entertaining. :)

I still have no plans or desire to begin watching the show weekly, but maybe I'll tune in more then once a year! Provided that it doesn't start at on the same time slots as NCIS or HOUSE, which I wouldn't give up for any reality show in a million years. haha

Well, I'm pleased to announce that me and my husband are seriously talking about getting a house soon. *YAY*
We are having serious neighbor problems, which was what really fueled us to try and find a house ASAP. Hopefully no more then 3 months from now.

I'm also hoping that the few health problems that I've had recently clear up soon, so I can go and get my GED and get into college. I've seriously considered going for my RN license, but I'm not entirely sure I could handle being a CNA, so I may have to choose something else. Oh well
Things will work out, I'm very sure of that! :)

Happy New Years!!

I can't believe 2008 is already over! Time sure does fly.

I've spent quite a bit of time watching shows on VH1 this week, since they show the best movies/music/videos for the year, which I enjoy! Other then that, I've stayed busy with work... kinda ;)

I hope everyone had a great year, and hopefully this year will be even better!

Holidays!

I keep forgetting that I have a blog that I should try to update more then twice a year! lol

I really love this time of the year, but I can't believe we are already in December. I was considering in decorating my house, but I think I'm going to hold off this year. My kitten is being too crazy, and everything will be broken soon after I put it up anyways, so I won't bother! ha-ha

I have also finally started on medication, and we got extremely lucky that our insurance covered almost everything. They send me a 3 month supply of Copaxone, and we pay less then $30. My nurse came today and showed me how to use my auto-injector, and I was suppose to wait so she could show me how to do my manual injections too, but my symptoms have been driving me crazy lately so I decided not to wait. My first injection was not pretty, since you are suppose to make sure and inject only your fatty tissue, but I went too far and hit a muscle. That's what I get for not being patient! :)

Overall, things have been going great for me. I'm getting really excited to see my family around Christmas time. And, I even love watching all these cute movies, like the Grinch.
Maybe we will get lucky this year and some snow flakes will fall around Christmas Eve! Wouldn't that be perfect?

Another monday! ^_^

I ran across this commercial yesterday, and I wanted to share with y'all. ;)






I actually laughed so hard I almost cried! ^

As for an update, I really haven't been doing much... besides playing video games, of course! ;)

I'm actually pretty excited about the new WoW expansion coming out on Nov 13th. Wo0t W0ot ^_^
Blizzard has actually planned out some pretty awesome world events to lead us into the new continent Northrend.
We had the original Halloween event, which includes trick or treating every hour, and fighting the Headless Horseman in the Scarlet Monasteries for some nice drops!
Without warning, a mysterious plague broke out in Azeroth, and npc healers from the Argent Dawn showed up at every city to help. This plague first took 10 minutes to completely 'infect' you, and if you did not seek a healer it would turn you into a ... zombie O_o

There was no cure, so once you turned into a zombie you could only return to your normal state by dying. Once you had turned you could attack anyone regardless of faction, and your own city regarded you as an enemy.
( Guards would attack you, and even your own faction could attack and kill you, or you could turn them. )
Zombies were pretty slow, which made it very easy to get away without being infected, but blizzard had a trick up their sleeve!
By the second day, this disease had begun to mutate, and you only had 5 minutes to find a healer. The healers were slowly disappearing, which was making it harder to find a cure in time. As the day wore on, full fledged attacks happened in the middle of cities, and you could no longer go afk - Away from keyboard without dying or turning before you returned.
The disease was spread faster as armies of zombies roamed everywhere, and each hit you took from a zombie turned you faster. ( I believe each hit took 30+ seconds off your timer to find a cure, and if you were hit by a large number they could and would turn you almost instantly )
There was also a large number of crates that suspiciously ended up in every city with cockroaches that continued to spread the disease.

By day three, it was complete and total chaos. Cities were war zones, and the healers were all but gone, which left only 3 classes that could cleanse your disease. Priests, shaman, and paladins, but the resist rate was really high so there were times you couldn't be cured before you turned. I actually spent a good amount of time in Orgrimmar trying to help cure and kill zombies.
There was a pretty small group of us, probably a good 6 or 7, but at times we fought groups of twenty or more zombies.
The cure timer had dropped down to 1 minute, and there weren't any Argent dawn healers around. I was on my priest, so I spent a good deal of time trying to cure those around me. We actually had a 'strong house' set up for those who wanted to help, and we cured, fought, healed, and resurrected players. It was actually a lot of fun :)

The funniest thing about this event is that Foxnews actually wrote an article about it. ;)

Life's unexpected journey

I've spent quite a bit of time lately doing some research about MS, and I have honestly come to terms with it. There are a ton of sites that I've found which help explain treatment, procedures, and side effects. Once you get over the initial shock, and read other people's posts and stories, it seems a lot less scary. Not to mention, it really explains quite a few things I've experienced over the last couple years. Some of the symptoms I was having made me question my sanity, and now I am more at ease. lol ( I imagine my husband is too! He was always confused by symptoms I was having that were nothing short of strange. ;) )

I really want to thank everyone who has been really wonderful to me, I am extremely thankful. It has made all of this so much easier to handle, and I don't think I could of done it without you guys. ^_^

I am even trying to quit smoking! *gasp* Ok, well I slipped up once today, but I'm really trying. :)

I still have big plans for my life, and I won't be giving those up anytime soon. I'm hoping that once I am diagnosed, I can start working again so we can get a house. I want to go to college to complete an EMT course, and hopefully in the distant future..kids :)
( Even though my husband keeps trying to convince me that we don't need kids, we have two *very* bratty kitties at home who make up for it! )

As of right now, my life is pretty good. My one and only complain is this HORRIBLE itching I've developed on the right side of my scalp. Heat and stress irritate it ten-fold, and scratching doesn't help it at all. I'm sure people probably think I have fleas, If I'm in public, and I keep scratching my head! lol Oh well ;)

I've been spending quite a bit more time with my family, especially calling more often, and I was reminded yesterday of a favorite sport of theirs! Spooky hunting O_o
( I really shouldn't blurt things out like that without explaining first. *sigh* )

Ok, so here is a little bit of history about ' Spooky hunting'. When I was younger, probably around 16 or so, me and my friends all developed this interest in ghost hunting. It was a lot of fun back then.
We would research 'haunted' placed on the internet, and over the weekend plan a trip, call into work, ect. Mostly it was for fun and giggles, especially since all we did was just scare each other.
We started going to places like Rush, a little historical 'park' about 30 minutes from here. ( I think It's a historical park, but I could totally be wrong so don't quote me on anything. )
Anyways, I ended up spilling it to my parents one day, and after they chewed my butt for an hour for leaving town without permission, they showed interest. Shocking huh?!

Well, I agreed to take them to the place so they could see it for themselves, and 'Spooky hunting' was born. We saw nothing, obviously, but they had fun so next time we went they brought my aunt and uncle, who are now members of 'Spooky hunting' too!
I eventually lost interest in spooky hunting, but they didn't. It has now become a family sport which sometimes takes them to places quite a few hours away from home. lol

I do have to admit, I enjoyed scaring them more then looking for ghosts. Normally, me and my hubby would find out around what time they were leaving and where. We would get my uncle in on this, and lay waiting for them..in the dark! I have always wished I had a video camera, you would pee your pants laughing, trust me. :) Of course, I had to stop doing it when one of the times I got bitten by a spider while crawling around a bunch of dead leaves.

The one things I've noticed with ghost hunting, since I'm obviously a veteran ;), is that any old abandoned house or road is always haunted. Suspicious huh?
And my mom is going to kill me for putting this up on my blog, sorry mommy, but I can't help it. I still find it so funny that it has lived this long.
( I can almost picture them doing it twenty years down the road, and they will have equipment to 'catch' those darn blasted ghosts! lol )
