decaf?

The tea bags that paul bought me were accidentally... DECAF! we had a good laugh.

I'm 30 :D

today is my birthday and I feel so blessed. Life can't be any better.

so I had a quesadilla with a mixture of sour cream and roasted tomato salsa (from taco bell YUM.) and a milk tea for breakfast. I was thinking about just random stuff when this thought came in to my head. Paul picked up the sour cream since he were talking about making tacos even though it didn't come to my mind. He also 'picked up' the extra packets from taco bell since I was majorly addicted to them. when I took Jake to the bathroom at the market, he remembered to pick up the tea bags since I was on my last ones. He even picked up the cup I was using since he knew I get annoyed when the dishwasher isn't full when I run it. I should also mention the cottage cheese and beets he picks up for me. I usually forget because I'm the only one that eats it regularly so its never on my mind. when the mallowmars are actually at the commissary, he nudges me to buy three boxes instead of just one since they are seasonal.

all these things he does for me and it doesn't even have to be my birthday...

so really, today is like any other day for me! I requested rib eye for dinner... but doesn't have to be my birthday for me to have it once in a while. It just has to be on sale. :)

return of the [grrl] badhairday

Like almost a decade ago, paul and I used to play this game called Day of Defeat. It was a half life mod, one of the original WW2 style multiplayer FPS games (alpha released in 2000). We loved it. I definitely played it much more than counter strike. It required more teamwork, more strategy, and it was more fun (i.e easier to kill someone with a spade than it was to kill someone with a knife in CS)!

well we became regulars on this sever called the Knights of the Round Table. (http://www.kortclan.com) We played regularly for I think about a year maybe two until our life got consumed in WoW. then we stopped playing much. Steam was uninstalled to make room for the ridiculous file size requirements WoW patches needed....

BUT, these friends were never forgotten and crossed our minds once in a while... I kept forgetting to go back and say hi... until last week.

It had been 6 years. They remembered us. Its kind of crazy to think that we still do not know each other in real life, but they welcomed us like old friends, saying hey, how are ya, and one line that shall be etched into my mind forever...

"Woaaah. I haven't seen that tag since a headshot since I was what... 17? How's it going?"

Its good to be a gamer.
