Gaming: Exciting gaming news for me!

In an effort to get Mr. and I to back up a dump truck full of money to their headquarters, Green Ronin has announced the newest licence to their collection. DC Adventures!

The pairing is perfect. M&M (Short for Mutants and Masterminds) is a great supers game (my favorite), and you can start out at the beginning powerful and not pathetic. I have been hoping for them to get the rights to the DC characters. I yearn for about 50 different DC centric games. (And I am fairly certain that Mr. is looking forward to playing Plastic Man. And I am excited to see if they put out the stats for Ra's Al Ghoul and the League of Assassins.)

I am also thinking that Mr. and I can play some 1 on 1 adventures on a night when we are at home with nothing to do. Pretty much be Batman v. Joker and go all Iron Age!

Then they went on to announce a new edition of M&M, which will hopefully make character creation a little easier, so that more people give the game a try and not dismiss it. It is still keeping the simple d20 mechanism, so that excites me.

The DC Adventures line is going to be 4 books, and we will pre order all of them.
We will also pre-order the new M&M edition (probably 2 copies, one for each of us). Not to mention everything for Song of Ice and Fire, Dragon Age, Wild Cards, and Steve Kenson's side project ICONS for Adamant(which rocks on toast after the first read).

I am sure I will place reviews here. And I am sure I will find lots to be excited for with these projects in the next few weeks!

Heard it through the e-mail...

So yesterday, my husband and I were e-mailing each other back and forth about weekend plans and other assorted stuff. Then the question arose: "What do you want for dinner?"

I asked that and figured I would hear enchiladas or pasta. What I heard instead threw me for a loop.

"I was thinking we order pizza. I saw some one's pizza and it looked yummy. And my sweet wife won't have to cook."

Now, normally I cook dinner and he does dishes. I love the way that this works. I love being in the kitchen. But the 90 degree temperatures on Wednesday made cooking hard, and I could barely enjoy the Indian food I had put together for dinner. I really didn't feel like cooking, and even though I didn't say it, and we hadn't talked about it before then, he knew what I was thinking.

It was kind of eerie and a super sweet and really appreciated gesture.

And the pizza was yummy and no dishes needed to be done. Score one for the Nachos!

I was just sitting at my desk...

And I realized how content and happy I am with my life right now.

Seriously.

I have a great husband, who I find new ways to love more and more every day. It is so amazing to have someone who loves and supports you all the time. I have a family who loves me, wonderful friends who support me, and a kitty who cuddles up in my lap. We have a roof over our heads, food on the table, and our health. Life is good.

You all know who you are, so thank you for being a friend.

(This is where I would have the Golden Girls Heavy Metal theme song as seen on SNL, but that would be infringement, so I will just end here.)

Jury Duty or... New Bedford???

So I got called for jury duty.... as ms. (pre) Nacho when I was registered in the town where I used to live. They were trying to send me to New Bedford Court. Even from my former hometown, it was a long trip to get to New Bedford Court. I don't even want to imagine what the commute would be like from Boston.

That wasn't even in my county, so I am attempting to be disqualified due to both my name and address changing and the fact that I am registered to vote in my new home city which is not in the same county.

Now I thought calling and reporting this was going to be a huge pain in the - well... you know. But I got through to some one in under a minute, and they walked me through what I should do to get everything straightened out.

Sure I will probably end up in Cambridge, but to be honest, I will take it and be glad!

Summer in the city...

IS HERE!!!

Today it's supposed to reach 90 degrees! I was going to go to the beach tonight, but I think I will just stay in with the fans on. Besides the beach for one stinks and tonight is gamenight for the Mr., so I am going to go home and get some stuff done and enjoy unlimited access to our awesome TV.

I still have to figure out what to have for dinner. I think I may stop by the foodstore and get some fresh fruit and veggies for dinner, I will see how I feel in a little bit.

Hopefully you all can enjoy the beautiful weather! Ciao!

Looking Forward...

I am so looking forward to a long weekend, just to us. We aren't going anywhere, doing anything that we don't feel like doing. Things on our non-agenda can include sleeping in, going to the beach close to the house, seeing the muppets exhibit in Lexington, and enjoying some comic book reading.

I can not wait! 4 Days until the weekend!

Scrapbook Project 1: Baby Book for Peanut!

I actually finished a great project just in time for Mothers Day! As I mentioned last post, our nephew Peanut will make his entrance into this world next month. Upon learning the good news, I set out in planning a baby book for her.

I worked really hard to get it done in time, and even though we have not yet discovered Peanut's name, I did it! I finished the Saturday night before Mother's Day.

Here are a few of the pages.

The book came out amazing and my Sister in Law loved it. I am proud of how it came out!
