Talking about love is like dancing about architecture

Happy Birthday mr_tsumi !!!!

So....

I STILL have no voice. The New Kids concert was AMAZING!!! It was a religious experience.. really. It was just so much fun. We were having fun, they were having fun. It was just... just. That's the only way to describe it.

Wicked was ALSO simply amazing. Jada and I were on sensory overload. We had the stand by for Elphaba and she was wonderful. It was everything I had hoped it would be.

I have had a WONDERFUL week... and we have Halloween today and our party tomorrow.


WEEEEEEE!

So.. lots of wonderfulness at the McClellan household.

Neal and I celebrated our one year anniversary. It was nice. The Saturday before we got as many of those in our wedding party together as we could and went to Melting Pot. Much fun was had by all. On our actually anniversary we had a quiet night in. We ate our year old cake.. it wasn't that bad actually.

Loving Warhammer. I have a level 20 Zealot. She is badass. Got my horse.. having fun WAAAAAAGHING!

Tomorrow night Jada and I are going to see New Kids on the Block. I am so excited. Been listening to the new cd for two weeks or so. Wasn't sure about it at first, but there are several songs I enjoy now.

Thursday afternoon we are going to see Wicked. Also, very excited about this. Its my second favorite musical (Jekyll and Hyde being the first- and I saw that for the first time a few weeks ago). It will be my first time seeing it, but I know the music by heart.

I also picked up Twilight on a whim last week. I devoured it. It was really good. I forgot how much I loved vampires.... On the second book now.

Also excited about our party Saturday night. Our house is all decorated fabulously... It will be a ton of fun. Hoping that some of you can make it out.

The braces are off!!! and it feels so good.

I have to go back in two hours to get the retainers fitted and such. But my mouth has so much room now.

Tomorrow I have to get my front tooth bonded so that it will be eben with the rest of my teeth. I'll take pics tomorrow for all you folks to see.

Otherwise, I'm off to enjoy a lovely Rosh Hashanah.

Next week I FINALLY get my braces off!!!! Whoooo!! 

I also have to get one of my front teeth bonded as the tooth is actually shorter than all of the others. Never knew that cause my teeth were so crooked.

Finally the torture is over... All the scars on  my cheeks will be worth it!!! 

Now I get to wear a retainer forever. Oh well, at least that I can take out to eat and for pictures and such.

Only 6 more days!

I had a wonderful birthday weekend, thanks to Neal. He is the bestest husband there is.

Friday night we drove up to Pine Mountain, GA. We stayed at a cheapy Days Inn, as we were just sleeping there... but, UGH! Rough sheets, skimpy towels... cheap toilet paper. But, I digress. We got up in the morning and had Huddle House and headed out to the Pine Mountain Animal Safari!

We got there and had about 40 minutes to do the walk through animal part. We saw peacocks, chickens, bunnies, a camel, lemurs, and baboons. We also saw a monkey that wanted to fight Neal. He did not like Neal one bit. I told him not to smile at the monkey, but he did.. The monkey wanted to fight! He as shaking the cage and making a lot of noise.  We saw wild boars and bears, but it was feeding time, so they were not interested in us. We saw wolves and a liger. The wolves were very nice and pleasant to us. We tried  to talk to the kanaroos, but they thought we were boring.

Then we got to get on the Safari tour bus. This is the best way to go through the park cause the animals KNOW that this bus has food. They come RUNNING when they see the bus. We got to feed zebras, cattle, piggies, deer, oxen, zadonks AND Giraffes. I got to pet the giraffe too. She followed us forever. One of the buffalo decided he wanted to go for a ride, and climed on the bus! I fed him too. I got slobbered on by a huge cattle with HUGE horns. He tried to take my hand with the food stick. It was funny. There were little baby piggies that would come running as fast as they could. They were so cute. The cattle would butt other animals out of the way. It was fun!! 

Then we headed to Atlanta to see my mom and Terry. We haven't seen them in forever. There was a con happening at the Cobb Galleria. Lots of anime kids running around in costume. I had no idea what they were, good thing Neal was there to help us. I had cheesecake for my birthday cake. Yum! Then mom took me to clinique for some birthday surprises. Excellent! 

We came home, but I was exhausted after my animal encounters and driving. I fell asleep on  Mike and Mikey who came over.

Yesterday, on my actual birthday, we went to Arts in the Heart festival in Augusta. We figure anytime there is culture in our city, we should partake, as they may take what little we have away. We walked around the booths and found a gift for Neal's mom. I got some info on plays in the area. It started to rain, so we left. 

Neal was going to make me a special shark dinner for my birthday. Unfortunately, it turns out I don't like shark... So, we had Longhorns instead. We came home and played Warhammer. I blew up high elf face for my birthday treat!  

It was a great weekend. Neal worked really hard to make it special. I love you, baby!! Thank you so much! 

 he Big Read thinks the average adult has only read six of the top 100 books they've printed below.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them.

So, I planned a D&D party for Neal's 31st birthday on Saturday. D&d 4 ed came out on Friday, and Neal was really excited about it. So, we invited everyone over, and I ran part of Shadowfell Keep. 

I made all the food miniture size, and made a bunch of cupcakes with D&D minis on them for his cake. It took about 4 hours of prep and cook time to cook everything.... but it was tasty! 

Then I ran the first level encounters for everyone. We ended up playing until 4 am. IT was alot of fun though.... but running a game is hard work! I made little props and cards for daily powers and such. I thought it was alot of fun! Noone died during an encounter, though Mike went down twice due to my awesome dice rolls... :) 

All in all, I believe that I may go ahead and run the rest of the encounters for the in town people. I had fun, and I think I might have been good at it. 

Regardless, Neal said he had a blast, and that is all that matters. 

Happy Birthday again, baby!!!

Its been awhile since I updated. I've been very busy.

We went to Vegas for Masters week and had a great time. We saw two Cirqu Du Soleil shows and they were AWESOME! I loved every second of them. We ate great food and walked MILES! Being from GA and then going to the desert where everything is flat, I am a bad judge of distance. Everything looked a lot closer than it really was. But it was good exercise. We gambled some, but didn't bring home any jack pots.

Then work last week was insane having been out for a week. We are approaching our busy season and its showing. Hopefully we will get busy enough to bring our occupancy back up... but the economy slump is hurting us. 

Friday night I got to see Chicago which was PHENOMENAL. I really enjoyed it. The performers were great. One of the best shows this season for Augusta Broadway. 

Right after the show I drove up to AH Stephens for....  Kings Gate again. I had a lot of fun. I even got to take out my first monster. Shortly after that however, they got their revenge as told by Kaelan (Neal) The Archivist for the Order of Ashen Tears: 


There were about ten sharkies and two of us.... It was a noble fight... until the messy end. But it was hilarous, and apparently lots of people were talking about it. 

I am back at work today.. totally exhausted as I haven't had ant rest time in over two weeks.  Maybe this weekend. 

As for my New Years Resolution to loose 30 pounds and keep it off.. I am doing VERY well. I hot the 24 pound mark on Friday. I am very proud of myself.... Just a few more pounds to go and then I get to maintain it. I think that's the harder part. I am feeling so much better though... and I love walking on the treadmill... It also helps at LARPing... I can keep up with everything now... Yipee!! 

I had a BLAST this past weekend at KG.

It was awesome and I had so much fun. I also learned that I love throwing packets... heh. I even got a few licks in with my new latex hammer... that apparently everyone finds intimidating... Be afraid.. be very afraid.

It was AWESOME to see everyone. I wish we got to see more of each other. But, alas, we all live in different places.

Anyway.. had a great time... already cleaned and repacked for next game. Neal and I are efficient. Plus, I am not too tired today. I guess excercising is helping bunches!
