Well, that was part of the visit. The main reason for going was what I posted on Saturday: the Ole Miss football game, tailgating in the Grove, and all the rabid Rebel fans you could shake a stick at. It was Exar’s first sight of the Grove completely overtaken with tailgating tents, girls in pearls and heels, guys in khakis, and about half the alums already tanked at 10am. Due to the ticket sales fiasco (major overselling, and people were moved all over the place), instead of the sideline seats we were supposed to have, we were in the endzone. The endzone in the sun. Can we say sunburned? Oh good, so can I. I can also say “Solarcaine.” (Owie.) I’m down to the itchy part, and starting to peel on my face (joy), but at least it’s not the pain that I was in on Sunday when we drove back home. At least it was a good game, and Exar enjoyed himself (and the BBQ nachos, but we won’t go there).

Another part of our trip was talking some stuff over with Mom and her builder. She’s working on putting an addition onto the 1930′s bungelow than my great-grandparents built. The original house is 1300~ square feet. She’s adding 2000 square feet. Yes, she’s got that much stuff, why do you ask? Fortunately her builder is a good guy, and the stuff she needed to go over was quickly taken care of. She still needs to find some tile for the kitchen backsplash, but it’s mostly taken care of at this point. Colors for paint got nailed down too, so that’s off the “need to bug the kid about” list, thank heavens. At least she’s gotten most of the appliances already purchased or lined up. The addition is going to look -good- when it’s finally done. When we were there, they’d managed to get the trees taken out to make room for the addition, and dug the pit for the foundations. Yesterday, it had managed to dry out enough that they could pour the foundations. With luck, the framing guys will be out there within the week to start framing and then they can really get some work going.

As far as WoW goes, we got back on Sunday where we promptly fell over dead. But Monday was a good day for me. I managed to go from 406/700 Kalimdor quests to 445/700 quests. AND I also got the following:

1. To All The Squirrels I’ve Loved Before
2. Explore Darkshore
3. Explore Durotar
4. Explore The Barrens
5. Explore Mulgore
6. Explore Ashenvale
7. Heroic: Azjol-Nerub
8. Volunteer Work
9. Ahn’kahet: The Old Kingdom (Missed a boss so no Heroic on it)
10. Northrend Dungeonmaster
11. The Old Gnome and the Sea
12. Fish Don’t Leave Footprints
13. 250 Fish (woooo!)
14. Expert Fisherman

I might have been a bit determined yesterday. >.>
