Jeff Billimek’s Journal

We were up so late last night that Jen and I slept in pretty late this morning. It felt nice to wake up without an alarm.

Jen and I had cereal for breakfast and worked on wedding favors together. I thought she did a terrific job with the design and implementation of the favors and think that the guests will like them very much.

Jen made plans to hang out with Kristen for a while today and left. While she was gone, I spent some time playing World of Warcraft. I’m very pleased that they seemed to have resolved most of the server problems. I haven’t seen a queue to log into my server for a long time and lag issues are pretty much gone now. Blizzard really did deliver and got things fixed much quicker than I thought they would.

I got my toon up to level 20 which was really fun. Craig (who is around level 30 or so) hooked me up mightily with my first-ever ‘blue’ item, a rare dagger, as well as a newer, better off-hand uncommon (green) dagger, and various other items. I feel really lucky to get pimped-out by Craig who always seems to collect various goodies.

Craig offered to adventure with me in a difficult area. With the help of his beefy paladin, we would have done well. However I had been playing a while and was expecting Jen to come home soon so I declined and logged off. Hopefully next time we both play we can hit the deadmines - where I have _FOUR_ elite quests to complete.

Jen didn’t come home for a while actually. I spent some time pouring over some game forums and tried to decide on a ‘build strategy’ to use for my character. I think I’m going to go with a variation of the common 30/21 assassination/combat build. It was fun playing with the talent calculator to figure out what talents to take.

Jen came home around 7 or 8pm. She stopped at the store to get groceries. We made dinner together. I had a crown & coke (for the first time in a long time!) and Jen had some white wine. We had salad, veggie burgers, and our favorite butternut squash soup. We had a great dinner together.

Before she came home, I lit all of the candles around the house (we have a lot), so it looked very cheery and romantic. The dreary, rainy, cold weather outside added to the mood. It was a nice evening together.
