Computer, etc

Yay for new computer! Hubby's new computer came in the other day, so I've got my "new" one all hooked up with my "new" monitor, and it works beautifully (after I realized that, in order for the monitor's built-in speakers to work, I needed an audio cable, duh!). I can actually use several addons and have no lag at all!! It is wonderful! Ooh, and I can turn up my video settings and see all the pretty stuff that I couldn't see before on my poor little lappy. It did its best, but it was just not made to play WoW. *lurvs!* Now to use all that loveliness to level up! (to 70 at least) I did play some today, and I'm about a third of the way through 69. And I'm still questing in Terrokar, lol. Which is amazing on so many levels... Mainly its awesome because I can only do the quests that I feel like doing, and don't necessarily have to do any group quests or instances to level up. I figure I can hit 70 before I leave Terokar, and then I still have Nagrand, Blades Edge, Netherstorm, and Shadowmoon before I even need to go to Northrend. Of course, not needing to do every single quest in order to level up means that I probably won't get the achievements to do most/all the quests in one area. Oh well, its not really one I'm that concerned with anyways. I've heard that logging on tomorrow (in a couple of hours) gets you a WoW anniversary achievement and a pet! I'm excited about that!!

On the knitting front, I am almost done with my socks, about 1/3 of the way done with the dog sweater, and have purchased the yarn for making the chapstick covers and dishcloths that I'm making for Christmas presents. Now I just have to get the yarn to make my mom's stethoscope cover. I may let her pick it out over thanksgiving (she knows I'm making it - I had to ask if the hospital allowed them).

And speaking of Thanksgiving, I will be leaving to go see my parents on Wednesday about 1:00 after I take M to work, and his mom will pick him up after work and he will go see his family. Its kinda sad that we will not be spending our first Thanksgiving as a married couple together, but his work schedule is just kinda retarded, and I haven't seen my family since May (we have seen his, since they live much closer). Anyways, I will stay with my parents until Friday afternoon, and then leave for CS in order to pick up hubs from work (his mom will bring him back in time to go work on Friday). Then we will be able to spend the weekend together before I have to go back to school on Monday.
