You might have noticed the ‘take over WoW blog’ activity – my eldest has decided that while SIMS is exciting indeed, World of Warcraft (and I quote) ‘pwns’ everything else….so I’m going to give her my WoW site that I developed a few months ago. Making money online is still a good thing for this summer!
In other news, I’ve finally recovered from my bout of humility that I, ahem, enjoyed experiencing over the weekend and have started teaching my kids in earnest the Martial Arts techniques I’ve learned. Everything happens for a reason, I firmly believe…and I plan on putting that into major action indeed.
Time to print out me handouts,
Barbara Ling
ps – speaking about fanfic, my kids always write about Japanese Anime and World of Warcraft:
Get Started Here
You’ll love what you learn… Promise!
