So, on the 3rd of July there was much Laundry. 10 loads this week, to be precise. Nothing much unusual. I did manage to squeeze in a couple of hours of WOW and made it up to level 10 and am starting on my quest to get my Bear form.
The 4th of July was a blast literally. We headed to my folks place out in the country and lit off some firework, had some ribs and spent some time with the whole extended family. I have to admit I am very lucky. I get along with my in-laws and they get along with my family.

It's official I have been drafted to the Horde
I am now a newly minted Tauren Druid. After about 45 minutes of play I'm just shy of level 4. So far it is pretty easy. The hardest part is moving the character, ie what is right click and what is left and why is it scrolling now? The play seems to be pretty noob friendly.
I know it won't take much to get the hang of all the new keys and buttons, just time and practice. No worse than transitioning from Mac to a Doze machine.

What will she choose?
For most the question would be Alliance or Horde. To be the dashing hero or the misunderstood underdog. It's not really much of a choice when my hubby, all his friends and my kids are playing horde characters. I think the only person I know who plays for alliance is my brother-in-law.
Horde it is. Now the question is what type of character? So I asked my hubby what does your guild need & he told me either a healer or a tank. By nature I tend to be support crew. When I played role-playing games I was almost always the priest, druid or medic.
Healer it is. So it looks like for healing it is either be a priest, paladin, shaman, or druid. It looks like as a newbie a priest is a bad idea. A paladin looks like it won't be too hard, but the healing if for a single person, not ideal for helping out a decent size party. Which leaves Shaman or Druid. I seriously debated both, the most serious drawback of the horde druid for me is... it's a cow. >sigh<>sigh< did I mention I don't like cows. Oh well it's just pixels. Oops best not say that too loud.

New Beginnings
I will tender no apologies; I am a geek. I grew up reading science fiction, fantasy, comics and playing on a computer. I played role-playing games in high school and later dabbled a bit at larping. I attend Science-Fiction conventions and volunteer at the Renaissance Faire. I even listen to Filk music.
Having established my dorky pedigree, I am also a mother and wife. (yes there are girl geeks shhh) My hubby does webpage design. We met while I was playing Major Mud on my local BBS. I have a little girl who is 9 and a not so little boy who is 12. They both proudly identify themselves as geeks.
My hubby has been playing World of Warcraft for several years and 4 or 5 months ago my son started. My daughter soon had to join as well. I have been feeling a bit left out at the dining room table lately as they all chatter away about their character's latest acomplishments.
I have long resisted joining WOW. I remember way too many long nights spent playing online games trying to hit that next level. I am the mom, i'm responsible for dinner, laundry, lunches, vacuuming and there is no pause button on a child. But now I feel it is time for me to delve into the world my geeks have immersed themselves in.
