ARK Births the Cutest Babies

The husband – Turbo – has been breeding Argents in ARK. We have two good argentivis and he’s been obsessed with breeding in better ones. He then discovered the beauty of mutations and is now trying to breed those in as well. I admit that I don’t have the stomach for the part where he…

Yesterday on ARK: Survival Evolved…

I’ve been playing ARK with my husband on a shared server with friends since mid-December. We’ve slowly built up a basis on the Island and have set goals to accomplish for the near term. The aim is to build up so that we are ready for Boss Battles in the future. Yesterday was a banner…

The Super Bowl was Yesterday?

I like sports.  I really do.  However, the lack of a successful sporting team in this area (and there are professional baseball, basketball, football, and hockey teams nearby) has resulted in me losing interest in most sporting events.  However, I usually make an effort to watch The Big Game, mainly because I like the commercials….

Well that didn’t take long…

Falling back into old habits is so easy. I ended up not updating my bullet journal on weekends, then went from Jan 24-29 without writing a note. I have to do better.  The purpose of the journal is to help me understand how I am using/not using my time; it also allows me to capture…

Modified Shirt Day

Here’s another of my work shirts – branded with something more akin to my personality.  Forgive the cat hair – it’s a thing that happens in my home. Thanks again to Urban Threads for having such awesome designs! #nerdyme #ctrlaltdel #embroidery #urbanthreads

Developing the Brand of Me

Two important facts: At the beginning of this year, my employer changed the company logo.  I have a bunch of apparel that has the old logo on it.  As far as the company is concerned, this is fine to continue wearing; however, I am customer facing and plan on getting replacement clothing with the new…

Chocolate Frog!

A dear friend of mine went to “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” and brought me a Chocolate Frog!  We were both surprised at how big it is: And I was super pleased that none other than the great Albus Dumbledore was the featured wizard:    

Jan 1 Recap

Things that happened on New Year’s Day: Breakfast – didn’t like the Belgian waffle Failed purchase at Asian food store (closed for holiday) Meltdown in car Made lumpia for New Year’s Dinner Watched a lot of Twitch Streams Completed Pokemon Shield No exercising.  Bummer.

Winter Weather – FINALLY!

For the first time in forever, it was a snowy, windy, and slow commute to work.  While this might night sound like a reason to celebrate, this is fantastic, considering that I live in Michigan and it was 58 degrees F on Christmas Day. Hopefully the cold weather will remain through to spring.  Breaks in…

More Tracking Items

Decided on adding “Board Games” as an item.  Because board games. Of course, this will apply to all tabletop games (miniatures, CCGs, LCGs, etc.) – I had written “Board Games” first so it’s gonna stick that way. I think I also need to add “Study”.  This will apply not only to my PMP but also…

Bullet Journals?

I know that bullet journals are very popular, and I have a journal that I will be starting in the New Year with bullet entries. I’m trying to wrap my brain around topics for a “Tracker Page”.  Obvious choices are medications, exercise, various crafting activities, etc.  I’m still working on the others; it may be…

Conspicuous Consumption

I am a dream consumer, especially with regard to Apple tech. On Friday, I not only bought a new iPad Pro (to replace my iPad that no longer has enough room for my programs) but I also purchased an Apple Watch series 2.  Because things. I love both items, although some things are giving me…
