We didn't get any rain yesterday and they had been building it up alllll week and then *poof*... it all disappeared.  Yes, Illinois and Indiana got some good rain, but it pissed out just as it arrived in Ohio.  Bleh.

So that's kind of a bummer.  But we have another chance for it coming in Friday I guess. We really need it now, because the corn is tasselling and the rain will pollinate it, making the ears nice and full.  The wind does some pollination but it's mostly designed to pollinate from rain.  So rain in the next week would be most helpful.  *shakes rain stick* 

In other news, I still fail most heinously at WoW.   Couldn't figure out why I was dying left and right until my husband came along and pointed out that all of my "armor" (I use the term loosely here) was at zero durability... and, not only that, my staff was broken and I was fighting with my bare hands when my magic ran dry.  O_o   Ugh.  

And in other other news, yes I did go looking for the nudie pictures of Daniel Radcliffe floating around the internet.   I AM NOT ASHAMED.
 

WoW hates me.

WoW corpse
I did finally manage to get up to Level 3 with my new (human) character.  I did this by killing wolves.  Yet now I'm... somewhere... and I keep getting attacked and killed literally every time I turn around.  It's like I don't even get time to regenerate before I get killed again.  :(

I know I'm missing something... like oh, I don't know... how to BLOCK... but dang if I can figure out what buttons to push to avoid getting killed. 

Meh.

I tried World of Warcraft and...

I AM SO AWESOME IT HURTS.

My husband is downloading a WoW free trial right now!  (Well, right now he's in the bathroom, but the WoW is downloading, lol) 

His username is bmogummy1. 

I'm strangely excited about this.  :D 

OMG my little rooster is crowing! :D

Well... if you can call it a crow. He's trying though, lol!

What's funny is I have four other roosters that are older than him, but this one is the first to crow. He's also the one that was sold to me as a female. :P

Some pictures from Prosperity Island

Just a few random snapshots from my Prosperity Island game. I have more to post, too... but all in good time. :)



This is Coral Less, the mer-child born to Cheer Less. Coral is a teenager here, and Cheer, who is an adult now, has two more mer-children, a boy and girl: Cove and Shell. Pictures of them to come.

RIP Michael Jackson

I think it's pretty awesome that so many music and entertainment channels are showing Michael Jackson videos from years ago.  So many people in their 20's and younger have never really known him as anything other than "Wacko Jacko" and I think this might help them to understand what a talent he was, and to see the Michael Jackson those of us 30 and over remember.

So the chicken coop is done!  YAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYAY!!!! 

Well, it's almost done, lol. Hubby still wants to put in some feeders made from PVC pipe and a place to hang the waterers... plus he still needs to build the fence around it for the pasture. But other than that... it's complete!

Over in [info]sims_picspam, there is a challenge to breed your selfsim and show off the offspring. And, as luck would have it, in my Castaway Island game, my selfsim is married to and happily breeding with Pascal Curious.




They have six children; two boys and four girls (hmmm, that sounds familiar, lol.)

I just cleaned out the shop because Brian got done with the chicken coop (pictures of that to come later) and there was wood scraps, tin scraps, and sawdust everywhere.  So I used the little ones' naptime to clean all of that up.  Now the shop is clean but the house is a mess and I still have three loads of laundry to do and a sink full of dishes.  The older kids didn't decide to do their mother a favor and clean up while I was outside, obviously.

Sigh.

This is just to let anyone who is interested know that I uploaded a slightly altered version of my video.  It's basically the same, but some of the scenes have been smoothed out a little and a few new little scenes were added in a couple of spots.  

Okay, okay... I will stop talking about it now.    :D

Hope you enjoy it!

My husband just took One through Five of Six (my kids' Borg names) to the Centerburg street fair that will culminate in fireworks tonight, and I just put Six of Six to bed.

This means I PRACTICALLY HAVE THE HOUSE TO MYSELF for the first time in like... at least a year.  Yes, technically I'm not home alone, but Six of Six is a pretty reliable sleeper.

*squee!*

I'm planning on doing a quick clean up of the house, taking care of the animals, and then working on my Sims 2 movie.  I'm pretty sure the second half will go rather quickly.  Yes it's highly amateurish, but I'm having fun with it and for a first try it's not so bad.  (We're not counting the infamous Penguin Party video as a first try, are we?  O_o)

OMG LISTEN!  Do you hear that?  I DON'T EITHER BECAUSE IT'S QUIET!!!  MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHA!!!!

Where to host a video with pixel nudity? :)

  • Jun. 27th, 2009 at 11:56 AM
mother and child
I'm working on a Sims 2 video (something I've always wanted to do) and it has a bit of pixel nudity... no sex, just some bare butt shots and maybe a flash of Cboy peen since I forgot to disable it at first.  *blush* 

Anyway I'm about halfway done and I started thinking Youtube might not host it  because of the nudity... I'm not sure how much of a stickler they are there.   O_o   Not only that, Youtube seems to really take a ton of quality away from any video I've tried to post there and I wouldn't mind using somewhere else to host it anyway. 

I'd hate to post it on an "adult" site because really, it's not like it's porn or anything.  Does anyone have any suggestions? 

My life, in numbers. :D

Ten reasons why I fail today. :D

  • Jun. 23rd, 2009 at 8:57 PM
mother and child
1) I cleaned the kitchen, then I gave my kids watermelon.  Now it needs cleaned again.
2) I was picking something up off the floor and my hair fell in the dog's water dish.
3) The television is WAY TOO LOUD.
4) I really should go out and garden, but I just don't wanna.
5) I didn't get around to cleaning the cat box today.
6) I am out of jar candles.
7) The bean bag chair covers I ordered are way too big for my bean bag chairs.
8) This is my last pair of contact lenses.
9) I am taking my oldest to the dentist tomorrow.  Not looking forward to that at all.
10) I want to play the sims but feel guilty because I have gardening to do and I need to feed the animals.

Ramblings...

I just paid $7000 worth of farming bills for this month.  Sometimes I swear we are only in this business to make money for other people.  

On the upside, I have new dishes!    Believe it or not it's the first time I've ever had dishes where I could actually buy completer pieces!   We'd been using a hodgepodge of various Correlle and Tupperware, and I decided it was time I had a good set of matching dishes.  Now I just have to watch myself that I don't go crazy buying all the other stuff!  I already have the pitcher, the pasta serving bowl, the butter dish, and the serving platter, lol!

Is it just me or does anyone else get a serious farming vibe from TS3?   I mean, when you look at scenes like these...

Allison's at camp!

mother and child
I took Allison to her horse-riding camp this morning. She'll be there for four days. It's a great place, and not that far from our house at all. It only took me about 20 minutes to get there!

 

It's called Heartland Resort, and it's a bed and breakfast that also has stables and offers youth camps during the summer.

More pictures!!  )
