In World of Warcraft, I'm having difficulty with my level 35 Rogue - I want to increase my lockpicking skill, but the next place the Rogue Trainer told me to go to ... I can't unlock anything there because my skill is not high enough. Meanwhile, I've maxed out on the area I was skilling up in. Ugh. On the bright side though, we have done several runs through the Scarlet Monastery and picked up some good items - one of which sold on the Auction House for 30 gold pieces! In 24 hours, running around with a level 70 and just resetting all the instances, I made almost 50 gold pieces (not usual! Sometimes it takes me weeks to earn 3 gold pieces!) ... 10 have bought my mount in advance of being eligible for training in riding at level 40, 15 were shared to Luke's character, and some was spent on improving my Profession skills (Alchemy, Herbalism, First Aid and Poisons ... mostly Poisons actually). I am now sitting on 26 odd gold pieces towards training in riding for my mount at level 40 - I'm just over 1/4 of the cost to do so!

I should see if I can grab another high level friend to try to fix the lockpicking problem I have been having ... and to run me through the Scarlet Monastery again - worth it if I can find something to sell for even half of what the 30 gold pieces item got!

My Rogue also picked up a large sword, so I have had fun whacking enemies/monsters with that instead of my usual sneaky-sneaky swiping at them with daggers.

Elsewhere ... I created a Horde Shaman (Troll) ... but also have mucked around with a Gnome Mage, and an Elf (of some kind) Paladin.

My couch arrives this weekend! Wahoo! 2 months of couchless houseness are over! We actually will have something for guests to sit on! Woo!

Now I just need desks (two), bookshelves (two), a coffee table, a entertainment unit/stand, Luke wants a big tv, my other cat and his Kitty Castle ... and then we are set!

Also, further on the house, and things being added to make it all come together ...

I am hopeful that Oscar will be joining us in July. I am also hopeful that he and Indi get along.

Ehehehe, Indi is such a pain to take pictures of at the moment, lol. It's not that she's camera shy - I think she likes to pose, in fact! It's just that if you try to get her to look at the camera, she comes running over to say hi ... or she won't stay still long enough for the darned thing to focus.

I should pull out my film camera, actually. That'd do it - no need to bother with lag. But then it's harder to share the pictures with you all. Sigh. I waaaaaant a digital SLR! :P
