I'm Ang.

I'm a 23-year-old married woman who followed her heart (and her husband!) to Nova Scotia, where I'm currently a housewife, planning my future. I'm a huge computer nerd, especially when it comes to video games. I'm a fan of lists and spend a lot of time making them, even if they have no purpose at all. Want to know more?

Getting in the habit!

I’m getting in the habit of eating healthy and exercising now. I’m kinda on a roll, to be honest. I have done some form of exercise (either a walk or Turbo Jam) every day since last Sunday. I’ve done strength training for the past three days. I’ve stayed within my food intake limits every single day this week. I’ve drank upwards of 8 glasses - usually around ten! - every day. And today, I started a multivitamin.

I’m seeing progress, too. I’ve lost yet another pound, which puts me down 4 pounds from my starting weight. Slow progress is better than no progress, in my opinion.

So, since all my poor friends have heard about for the past few days is my diet/exercise/whatever, time to talk about other things!

Last night, my raiding team took on Void Reaver for the first time. What a fun fight! I was very scared, reading the strategy, when I saw this:

Threat is an issue for high-threat generating classes, particularly shadow priests, so be careful: your threat will also be increased by healing your group members that get hit by Arcane Orbs.

However, I was able to maintain my threat and survive! Well, until the tank died. Y’know. But things happen. We got him to, like, 36% or something on our second try. Sadly, the amount of trash there is and the difficult pulls only gave us two tries on Void Reaver. By the time the second time came around, we had respawns all through the instance and couldn’t go any further. Regardless, it was fantastic fun and I was so excited to see something different for a change!

Kim, my shadow priest, is doing rather well in the gear department. She needs a few more things from Karazhan and one item from Heroic badges, but she’s starting to look pretty good!

Anyway, I think I’m going to play The Movies. Haven’t played it in a while, and decided it sounded like fun!

Ten on Tuesday.

Today’s Ten on Tuesday is a hard one. “Brag about yourself” has never been my choice of memes to fill out, but I suppose I should do it. So, if I seem conceited (which I promise I never am!) please just move along and don’t tell me. All I need to do is think of ten things that make me proud, which seems like a daunting task anyway.

1. I have fantastic hair.
2. I am good at remembering things.
3. I have a knack for making connections - even if it’s just between actors on a TV show or movie.
4. I made a big change in my life, and it was for the better.
5. I’ve faced my fear and spent the past month sleeping normal hours, even though it was not easy for me.
6. I am a nice person. I’m almost too nice, but only sometimes.
7. I’m actually very intelligent. Most of the time I’m afraid to show it, for fear of looking like a know-it-all.
8. I’m very good with children. Most of the time they like me immediately.
9. I’m a good cook, when I can get over the fear of leaving my bedroom.
10. I’m very good with grammar and spelling. I’m also a fairly good writer, when I get a good topic into my head to write about!

Wow, I did it. Ten things that I’m proud of. Now let’s hope people don’t think I’m a snob for writing them!
