IRL Taking Up My WoW Time

I hope everyone had a grand New Year's Day. I know I did. I spent most of the day horseback riding and with the family. I haven't been playing much other than logging in to check the AH. I finally picked up the 5k riding skill. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, it is time to finally finish up the rest of those quest and hitting those dailies.

As stated I haven't played near as much as I expected I would on my two week vacation. I've been pretty busy with IRL stuffs. First was spending some days changing out ceiling light fixtures. We live in a house built in the 50's and some of the fixtures are still the original. I also installed a wireless fence to keep that cunning little beagle (Barney) of mine in the yard. He had been digging out and finally had learned how to climb the fence in a corner spot. It was real amazing to watch the first time. So I dropped the cash to get a radio fence and the shock collar. He learned real fast that the beeps mean you can't get close to the fence any more. It may seem cruel to some, but it is better than him getting hit by a car.

The other activity that has been consuming my time is horseback riding. My little brother bought two horses about a year ago. I've been going out with him to feed and mess around with the horses lately. I've always liked horses, and use to do ranch work in my younger days. I was mainly a fence builder and feeder for a rancher in my home town. I lived for those few days a month that we got to saddle up and work cattle by horse back. I quickly found out though that if it rained I didn't get paid. So I moved on to other things.

The other thing taking up my time is my little girl. I feel real bad logging on to play WoW and her setting in the other room. The way I see it I have all year in the evenings to play after she has gone to bed in the evenings.

I missed my anniversary post for one year of blogging. It was on December 30th. I had 2159 views for the year and 116 post. Actually there were a 120, but four of those were drafts that I never published. Actually not bad considering that my content is mainly about my dull hunter experience. I have several ideas for guides, but I really can't bring myself to write them up considering the talent of the other blogger guides out there. Hence 4 drafts that were never published.

On the list for this year in 2009. I'm not really certain what the new year will hold. I have several goals in IRL that I have set, but none I've really set for in game. I want to get in some heroics and try those out, but more than anything I'd like to do more PvP in the BG's and eventually in the arenas. So we will see were things lead. For now I'm working on maxing out the secondary professions. All my weapons skills. Bringing up 5 pets to 80, geez this has been a slow one.

That is all for now. Here is looking at 2009, and hoping for a great year!
