Mon
Josh's games were supposed to be today, and we thought they were at Disney's ballpark. Nope. His team was in Winter Haven, a further hour from home. Because of the boys' FCAT testing, we opted to skip the game ><
Went to Perkins, LEGO store (no Medieval Village), then Mall at Millennia. Then Sanford for Best Buy and Red Brick.
Then home, where I checked auctions and started farming for what I hope is the final run to the Wedding Dress gil.
Found out both LK and Keps play chess. Hmmm!
-=-=-=-
Sun
Today, we got up, finished packing, and headed to Disney World! We left a little after 12, and after threading the Bike Week traffic, checked in to our rooms. Using our reward card points, Ape got two rooms. So the boys could have their own place. Adjoining next door of course!
Then it was time for the park. We changed our VoluntEAR (groan) vouchers for real tickets and met up with the crew. I dashed ahead with tickets in hand to grab our Test Track fast passes, then we worked our way around to use up the 3-odd hours we had before we could go.
Mission:Space nearly proved to be our undoing. Not because of the turbulence. Everybody but me went for the "easy" line anyway. No, because they got on almsot immediately, and I would have too had our line not experienced a "brief delay".
* Living Seas
* Segway x2
* Japan shopping
* Imaginarium
* Test Track
* Norway
* Japan dinner teriyaki chicken/sukiyaki beef/rice
* Fireworks
* ticket extension

Sat
Up at about 10:30, went and got breakfast. Loitered around the house some before vampiric kisses and leaving for my birthday activities.
Went to the Avenues. Got to see Tim Tebow, and grabbed a cell-phone piccy before being thrown out of the sports memorabilia store he was in. Thankfully I gave up wrath for Lent, as the woman who got onto me also got onto Younger. This Mithra doesn't take kindly to people messing with the little ones...
Checked out the usual stores, when we were able to get past the throng of fans waiting to get signatures or pics.
Left on time for our dinner reservations and checked in about 15 minutes ahead of time. Even though not all of us were present (from a total of 18!) we were seated. Oh, forgot to say, we ate at J. Alexanders, one of my fave restaurants period. About half the party had never been here and nearly everyone raved!
During the wait for our meals, most everyone took a turn holding the baby. I had fun showing him the chicken rotisserie, and some chess playing outside on the oversized board.
Later, at home, I logged in to check my auctions and got roped into a Holla run led by Agles. The plan was SMN x2 Astral Flowing the beast to death. The reality was as bad as the previous 8 visits. In this case, the two summoners didn't fire at the same time...
After hanging out with Ape some more, it was chat-time for mah birthday! Then I opened my card. Someone's trying to make me feel a little guilty, I think...
-=-=-=-
Fri
After work, dinner at the seafood restaurant. I don't know about you, but in my experience, non-seafood food at a seafood joint is often...underwhelming. I had a chicken sandwich. Meh. Next was game night. Denny stayed, so he, Meme and Cathy & Mike joined Cari, Kevin, my parents and us for Imaginiff. Great time!
Took a trip to Ape's school to get some report card files for her to work on during our trip. Took Mike, Dad and Bran. The trip there was uneventful but on the way home, had a little fun with a girl in a diesel pick-em-up-truck (we lost) and did a little heel-and-toe cornering.
Went home and crashed not long after...

Thurs
Up late late late because of delayed code checkout. Some good chats though.

Week In...
Thurs
Birthday lunch at Zaxby's - quite nice and I loved my card. One of my geekier co-workers actually signed it with a complete Java app.
Home early with Elder, then to TKD with Younger. I got 100-odd pages into Sentinel Wars #2, and I'm liking it more, earlier than the first. Perhaps because I already know the setting.
Next was dinner with MIL and our Tennessee uncle while watching Survivor. A so-so episode but Cirie got blindsided quite nicely.
I'll be up late on an important code checkout - see you maybe?
-=-=-=-
Wed
Not much besides some farming and an assist to MsPeek and Trob (who had been in a lousy Dunes party with Bigz) for her BLM AF. This was basic "run through Orcs while running through Davoi" adventuring. I didn't have a lot of time, 'cos Ape was feeling really bad and wanted to shut down early. I committed to help until 10:30 but managed to exit myself early (more in a jif).
We got into Davoi, and then the Monastic Caverns easily enough. And we got a key for Peek in like 4 orcs, who were no trouble for our motley band. NIN/DNC, WHM/BLM x2. We found the coffer minutes later - yay! But something went wrong with the quest because when Peek opened it, we got money.
So~o, we kept on, and 20+ more orcs, nothing. We got quad-teamed at one point but between Trob's excellent tanking and a pair of Repose-equipped WHMs, we held our own easily. Then, on another group beatdown, I disappeared. I thought I heard someone call for an escape, so I assumed Peek warped us out. Nope, just me. Somehow I hit Warp instead of Blind, and Blind is two away... Oh well. It was about 10 minutes 'til my scheduled departure, so I said my goodnights.
-=-=-=-
Tues
Farming in Horutoto. Let Faro in. Chatted with LK in-game some. That's about it. Realized in the car while listening to Fergie's Glamorous that she's really singing about something funny from Princess Bride:
G-L-A-M... O-R(odents)-O(f)-U(nusual-S(ize). Heehee!
-=-=-=-
Mon
Watched the entire Bachelor finale while futzing about and chatting a little. I'm generally happy Jake went for Vienna, but I liked Tenley too. But I think Vienna "completed" Jake's personality moreso than Tenley.

Aerin's Musical Memories Project
Given that:
* I have formed some deep and important friendships, and
* I may not stay in XI for much longer, and
* My schedule is getting more chaotic
I decided to start a project. I've asked each of my close friends to supply me with the title and artist of 2 or 3 songs that are personal touchstones for them.
So far, 4 of 5 have contributed and I'm going to extend this to my wider readership (ha!). Please send me a /tell or post a comment here.
The point of all this is that I'm acquiring these songs and putting them in my playlist. So that when they come on, I am reminded of that friend. I have many great memories with all of you and I don't want to lose that.
I don't want to leave. I don't want you all out of my life. But I'm getting tired of the nonsense that is XI and I'm getting tired of being walked away from. Just because I'm the White Mage doesn't mean I don't feel pain.
Incidentally, the "walking away from" isn't limited to my Friends List. My linkshell has disappointed me time and time again and I don't know if I have the energy to start over with a new group. Especially if I plan to leave by April, assuming I get the dress this month.

Huh...
Thurs
We watched a particularly brutal Survivor. James has gone nuts and Russell and Boston Rob are up to their old tricks... And as for Vana'diel, sadly, I don't remember doing anything significant.
-=-=-=-
Fri
Wound up staying in. Ape bought a new desk so she could move me out of the dining room and to a more suitable location. She made a good pick - it matches our other furniture very nicely. While assembling it, I finally broached the subject of what I really wanted for all the recent gift-days: My cosplay gear. This shouldn't be a surprise to any of my longtime readers but it occurred to me that going for it might involve collateral damage from friends and family.
So we talked rather frankly about that, about my new self-expression and about our differing attitudes on things that could affect the direction of "The Talk". I honestly expected a more severe grilling but she was quite relaxed about it all. I've decided that was because (hopefully) she's accepted things.
From there, we watched some TV, bouncing between "Baby Boom" and random stuff. She fell out earlyish because she's coming down with a cold. I took advantage of the situation to turn off the TV and pop open my laptop and finally finish Cardcaptors. It was a pretty good movie and I enjoyed the different characters. As expected, I also liked the focus on Love as a powerful ally.
At close to midnight, I migrated to the living room where my new setup is located. I fired up AIM and LK and I had a nice chat. I also thanked Deej, Momma and Kush for their contributions to Aerin's Musical Memories project. See separate post for more details if you want to be included!
LK was working out some details of a con he's trying to get to. A bunkmate bailed on him and he had nonrefundable plane tickets. While we chatted, he was working on another room and found one, so he's off! He also made an incredible offer to me with regard to my con plans in September. I'm not going to say anything yet, but if things line up right, I'll be filling in all the sweet details!
-=-=-=-
Sat
Today's been slow so far. We got up, headed to see our nephew's final flag football game, then did a little shopping at Lane Bryant (Ape had a coupon), then we tried to pick up the boys and head home. I tossed a football with my uncle (down from TN) and the neighbor (whose son plays on the same team as my nephew). And I lost another nail... But I didn't embarrass myself with the pigskin at least! The boys weren't ready so we left them and headed home to clean up. Ape's friend was lending us their young son for a bit so they could eat and see a movie.
Random note: After venting more frustration that I'm breaking out a bit despite fanatical use of body wash, Ape clued me in. Body wash + face = that does not go there. I need to find some good face wash it seems.
Our friends eventually met us at our house, with plans to do dinner and a movie. We figured we had the wee one for about 5 hours. After quite a bit of playing (we have an extensive Little People collection from when ours were little people) we planned to go to church. However, we suffered a 30-minute-plus delay because Ape lost track of her camera charger. I found it behind a cabinet, where there was no plug. Nobody knows how it got there.
So, we were quite late. But the lil' guy was very well-behaved, being distracted by my rings and my keys. He got a number of complimentary looks, especially as people filed out of the sanctuary. I forgot how much fun it is to tote a cute kid around :3
From there, was a brief park trip for pics, then dinner at a nearby Bob Evans. Have I said how nuts I am for breakfast food at any hour? After we ate, it was off to the mall. I took all three boys while Ape, her mom and her visiting uncle went their way.
Then, just as we're heading home, my dad calls: he's locked himself out of his car. He and my mom were at their dance class which wasn't too far away, but we /also/ got a call from our young charge's parents, who were headed to pick him up.
I rushed to my dad, grabbed him, then all of us made it home in time. He and I left to get his spare keys while Ape and all the boys hung out. We didn't return until nearly an hour later, but our friends stuck around. This would be good for three reasons: It's nice to see them, of course; the wife got a new Droid and let me play with it; and, I showed her the basics of what I'm planning for my cosplay outfit.
Much later, I had a couple of nice chats. LK, who is always fun to chat with, and Momma. She and I don't usually have in-depth chats, but tonight just worked out. She was playing BioShock 2 and I wasn't doing much else. [highlights here, re: Love]
PLed Soho, who was on quite late with Incrediblepanda. Their BST-duo party began in Saruta and made its way to Tahrongi, where I met up with them. And 15 minutes later, Soho DCed. I stayed with Pands for maybe 10 minutes then left.
-=-=-=-
Sun
Spent nearly three hours fighting my father in law's transmission. The filter is not exposed once the pan is removed. And nobody here seems to have a tech manual. Had to abandon the job partway in. Then I cleaned up and met the crew for dinner and a quick shopping trip, then the Amazing Race. I logged in then and puttered around. I flagged up for nearly an hour (really juicy DH) then PLed Raki's group during B&S (also pretty good).
Still have not heard from Kush or Kep. Did chat with LK in-game for a bit, and Soho came back. Said he fell asleep fighting a lost connection.
In /other/ news, now that I've crossed the final hurdle with Ape on the cosplaying, it's now on me. Do I have what it takes and am I prepared for the potential consequences of going forward?
Hopefully, my intended seamstress' daughter going to be able to start the introductions with her mom soon. I need to either find my PC version of XI or -urk- buy it yet again. I need to start pulling the gear shots together. And if I take LK up on his kind offer, I'll need a second set of shots for the dolfie. I wonder what her name is...
I haven't seriously thought about what I want her to wear yet. I guess it'd help if I knew how big she was so I could get an idea of what level of detail is feasible. I was intrigued that LK offered to pay for the mats if I returned her to him fully dressed out. Maybe I'll hit him up once I get the bill!
I really did enjoy my lengthy chat with Momma. It started with the cosplay/Talk rundown and went in a few directions from there. But by the end, I felt really nice and I think she did too. It was easily our longest chat to date.
Back to LK - I had a little time to peruse his site, the Happy House of Hentai. I pulled down a podcast while looking at some of the pics. I wonder how Hello Kitty is connected to LK. I wasn't able to listen to the podcast remotely and for some reason, the file share was giving me grief. The next time I remote in I need to fix that and give it a listen. It'll mark the first time hearing one of my friends' voices.

Screwed Again
Monday
I got remote desktop and filesharing set up. Chatted whilst watching the Bachelor - The Women Tell All and Castle. I actually got Ape to watch the whole thing. Last minute trip online to confirm something I saw on Wiki - the Wedding Dress is back! >< >< ><
I *swear* it was the Opaline Dress in that coffer! Ugh - now I have to try to get my money back and farm up the rest!
-=-=-=-
Tuesday
Woke up in Heaven's Tower. Spent over an hour re-sorting gear and upgrading where possible. I am now carrying full melee job set and may try to party on the lowbies. Also farming again in Holla for money for the Wedding Dress set and ring.
Trying to avoid needing Kep's gift if possible. Not that I'm not honored... As it stands, with my pending sales and what I have farmed so far I think I'm within 200k of the whole deal. I think the ring can be done separately and the dress comes first.
-=-=-=-
Wed
More farming, then a return to Jeuno and Windy to put more stuff up for sale and to try for Mithra cakes. The Doll Festival is almost over and I nearly missed out. Got Bonbori instead...
Brief chat with Soho - he's not feeling well again, and then Raki showed up. As I was returning to Holla to farm he asked if I was interested in skilling. Having not seen him in ages, I accepted and we made separate ways to Zitah. We were going to try duoing upstairs.
During the party, we chatted a fair bit and after lamenting my sorry shell situation, I got invites to his main and Dyna shells: DreamChasers and FatalStrike.
As for skills, I capped Divine, got enfeeb within 1, and enhancing is now 4 off. Club went to 249, 6 off. I didn't get one shield point... The fighting was a little tense as we were SAM70/DNC30 and WHM75/SCH37. I did manage to pull off a sweet Fusion SC off his Tachi: Gekko - 360ish for the Hexa followed by 230 on the chain!
We ended the night at about 10:15, and when I checked, I saw I was 65 points shy of my third merit, lol. Protectra V, here I come!
It was nice to see Raki again, especially after what I thought was his departure. He's clearly been busy, but apparently needs CoP started. Hmmm...
Earlier, Med came on and asked me if I'd been working on SMN, and that he felt bad for the party setup that he led into Holla. I sympathize but if two of your roster don't know how to play their jobs and/or didn't bother to gear up, it's kind of a foregone conclusion, innit?
Then GK came on Rogues and asked Med, Zel and me what happened to the shell during his 2-month sabbatical. Med didn't really get specific but I did: "The core left, GK. It's that simple." I went on to mention how those who remained were trying to rebuild and get missions and events rolling again.
It was surprisingly easy for me to switch to DC... /sigh
I still need to check in with Stoik on his shell invite.
