A Hole in the Bottom of Crab Alley

So. Water Works. Yeah. I think everyone has done it probably five times over by now. Anyway! My two besties and I decided, let's do WW just the three of us, without looking at any guide or anything! Woo!

Eventually, we figured it out. I am so proud of us, that we only failed once! It's just like the good ol' days. I haven't been sent to the commons in gosh only knows when.

It took us about ... three hours? Yep.

"Prepare for trouble, and make it double!"

Fear. The. Elf.

 But we finally defeated Mr. Big.

I sincerely hope that we have.

I got my crazy super-hero/Lucha Libre mask. And did a victory dance.



Come on! Everybody do it! You put your left foot in...



Please give a big round of applause for my friends Eli and Jeremy! Yay!

Now to figure out how to do it right...

Summer Reading

Finally we are seeing some of that awesome summer weather. Well that got me thinking about beaches, and sunscreen, and ice-cream, and cold sodas, and lazy days. And books! I love a good summer read, don't you? I thought I'd share some of my favorite books with you. Be forewarned I love mysteries, so if you're not into that you'll probably not like what I've suggested. Also, some of these are young people novels but some are adult (but looking at young people novels these days you probably couldn't tell the difference anyway!). Ready? "Allons-y!"

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle

One of the most famous detectives of all time; a great collection of Sherlock's tales.

The Séance by Inian Lawrence
There's murder and trickery are afoot when Houdini comes to town. One of my favorite mystery/thrillers.

The Princess Tales by Gail Carson Levine
Everyone loves a mixed up fairy tale right? Well these are some of the best.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
Oh Narnia. I love that magical world. I grew up reading these books, and Wardrobe is my all time favorite.

A Long Way From Chicago by Richard Peck
This is my favorite book on my bookshelf. Short-stories about two kids' adventures with their kooky grandma in depression era rural Illinois. I read these over, and over, and over!

The Crime at Black Dudley by Margery Allingham
This book was written in1929, and boy does it sound like it. Murder, intrigue, a daring escape! One of my new favorite detectives, Albert Campion (known to be a pseudonym) makes his first sparkling appearance.

How to Be Lovely: The Audrey Hepburn Way of Life by Melissa Hellstern
I got this book for my birthday. A lovely view at the life of Audrey, and full of lovely pictures

Get Ready for a Ghoulishly Good Time

Are you ready for this?

Are you ready to party like there's no tomorrow?

I hope you are because the biggest event of the year is just around the corner.

That's right witches and wizards, the Ravenwood Ball is coming up on June 25th!

Mark your calenders for June 25th at 6pm Central time (that's 7pm eastern, and 4pm pacific, folks!).

And apparently there is going to be a web of mini-parties to attend. Sounds like loads of party hopping fun to me! The wonderful Ms. Fallon ShadowBlade has pulled out all the stops, and has a GIANT loot bag to top it all off. Do check it out.

For the complete story, please check out diaryofawizard.com.

So what are you waiting for? Time to brush off the top hat and spats. Get ready to boogie. The party of the year has arrived.

Into the Woods

The only Wizard I have played through GH on is Heather. So she can go off and do Wintertusk-ness.

But everybody else...

did anybody see my picnic basket?

Thinking of You

After a long hiatus (mostly because of school commitments), I'm starting to think more and more about my beloved Wizard101 community. So I'm just taking a moment to let you all know that I'm thinking of you, and that I am playing in Wizard101 again. If you see me, port over and say hi! :)
So until I have something to talk about....
random pictures!
