Lol not this time, I tried to, but my team mates don't understand MMORPG speak.

Trying on more responsibilities to help get comfortable enough to seek an assistant manager position. And the extra pay.

@Another Movie Addict: lol... ok, so there was a communication issue... somehow?
That's good - you're testing yourself a bit and taking little steps. And extra pay helps. :3

Lol I play a lot of World of Warcraft and I was trying to use a boss strategy from that game in our dnd game. Where two or three people distract one boss, and another team focuses on the main boss. This is for when a boss has a helper of some kind. Which WoW folks refer to as an add. This strategy is called 'kiting' and is very effective. But the my team mates got confused by the very idea.

I like to ease myself into harder things.

I'm confused why or how your teammates would be so confused over that kind of strategy - whether or not WoW was involved.

Yeah, that approach can often be helpful. Congrats on the new role!

Lol I think it was a simple enough strategy that it could translate well into a different kind of game. But hey we did down the boss. So there's that. XD

Thank you.

Yes, I agree - it's a pretty straight-forward strategy that could easily be applied to different situations. I'm sorry your group didn't "get it" but it's good that you got the boss at the end regardless :3

You're welcome.

@Aisukohi: I'm trying to get more into crockpot meals. I save a lot of easy ones on my phone and always forget I have a growing list. XD
hormones suck. =3=' I'm definitely struggling with them right now.


@Wildfire: I don't think I saw your last fabric rug. :d I threw my friend a text this morning, wondering when she's available. :\ I'm worried she's not reaching out to me for a reason. But I don't want to read into that feeling because it's probably just the hormones.
I ended up crashing last night. Ate a lot of stew and bread and potatoed on the couch and bed until sleep time. XD
I'm struggling with keeping my energy high this morning. I want to get things done today. I need to actually put away the christmas pile and not just shove it all in a tidy pile in a corner. XDD
How are you doing?

@Another Movie Addict: That seems to be the theme with your group. You have a good DM and a good group of people to play with :3


@Koah: Oh, I hate that feeling! I hope you got in contact with your friend and got all your suspicions ironed out :3
You probably needed to crash last night - and it's not really a surprise if you overdid the bread and potatoes!
We still have a "neat pile" of Christmas stuff sitting in the living room too... plus the less neat boxes that made it to the garage but still need to make it to the attic...

I'm doing ok, thanks - woke up this morning with pollen-swollen eyes, which is always fun. Not.
I disappeared this morning because I ran to get groceries and my mom kidnapped me immediately after....




This is the completed one that my mom "stole"... the photo isn't the best, but that's it :3

@Wildfire: omgosh, I love that style of rug. <3 It looks bluetiful. ... -ahhaha pun-
You got groceries and mom time in this morning? that's nice! :3
I'm sorry you had allergies again this morning. D:

I just woke up from a nap. Whatever pregnancy period this is, I hate it. XD I'm tired and feel stretched out. lol. and anytime I slightly complain, people go "it gets worse." oh thats nice.
I did not get the Christmas stuff sorted and moved out to the garage. :c I still got time to do it though!
It's my son's birthday today, we made plans for Saturday with friends- so now I have a deadline to get the house tidied up enough to have a couple of kids over.

@Wildfire: Were you able to make your crockpot dinner today? And pretty rug! <3 Looks great!

@Koah: I don't do a ton of things in our crockpot, but luckily I'm almost never disappointed with what comes out. xD Not that I'm not open to trying new things, just haven't gotten that far. Hope your hormones get back to your normal soon! I expect next week will be challenging for me in that regard.

@Wildfire:

h that's cool. I'm more of a traditional medium artist myself and float between different mediums and projects too. I also do a little bit of digital stuff, but it's not my first go-to when I have the opportunity to be creative. Bird skulls, huh? What got you into painting them? (Nothing wrong with it, but it is a little unusual and I'm sure there's a story there... )

Yeah definitely my go-to is traditional mediums, and gosh yeah I float between many projects as well. I have too many WIP's right now lol. Yeah, digital is fun but yeah not my strongest that's for sure. Well, I got into nature and birds pretty young, from watching Bob Ross with my grandma, and also my grandma teaching me how to draw and paint, and I have always loved birds and animals. Skulls and the like came later in life, not quite sure entirely why, and I don't know if there is a story, besides I think they're cool; but if I had to guess it probably started when we used them for anatomy classes in drawing, and idk I guess seeing the beauty of skulls themselves, and death/life itself, or perhaps wanting to celebrate or preserve that life or show appreciating by drawing or painting. I don't know if that answers your question 😅

@Koah: Nothing like having a deadline to get the house cleaned up, huh? I'm sorry that the pregnancy is kicking your butt right now and that you're not getting the support you seem to be looking for. You're growing a human - it's not a surprise you're tired... and feeling a little "stretched"!! I hope you have a good day today <3


@Aisukohi: No - mom kidnapping me precluded my getting things in the crockpot in time. As it turns out, I didn't cook at all last night and let everyone forage for themselves. They were all "nah, I'm good - I'm not hungry"... until they were hungry, at which point they probably ended up eating more food than they would have if I had just cooked!


Thanks for the compliments on the rug, guys. It's fun to have something to do with my hands when I'm too tired to really concentrate on doing something more creatively demanding...

@Hobgoblin: Wow - changing a few little details, your background story on how you got in to art, etc., could pretty much be mine!! I completely get it! You went to school for art, then - or at least took some classes?



@Miss Sandman: Hello! How are you? How were your holidays? Did your Little One have a good Christmas? My holidays were quiet, which was fine.





good morning everyone.
