WELCOME TO OUR HOLE IN THE WALL!

We're a crazy mix in this family, keeping busy and having fun! I made this blog as a way for our family and friends to keep up with us. But good luck with that cuz I'm not the best at keepin' y'all updated!

There's 5 in the family. There's Dad - he's a motorcycle buff, building his own business, making parts for bikes. Plus he works hard at a full time job too. AND being a full time dad and our chef! There's Mom (that's ME - since I do most of the blogging). I'm a nurse, I like to go on motorcycle rides to though I'm having to sell my bike (boo!) and can't ride like I used to. I LOVE to spend time with my kids and wish I could do more of it! I'm the family chauffeur most of the time and the organizer. I'm also the photographer. (not the best but I try)

The kids are: D - the oldest boy. He's a self proclaimed nerd, obsessed w/ D&D (dungeons and dragons for those "not in the know", one of the original role playing games - NOT a video game! Imagine that! lol!). He also loves video games and computer games. He hopes to design/make video games one day. Or write plays. He's a theater buff too. He's in 9th grade and does outstanding! He's got a great sense of humor too - which usually drives his nana nuts! haha! T is the middle child and other boy. He's in 7th grade. He currently plays football and is in the honor band playing trombone. He's in a magnet program at school and is doing very well in school. He's got a GREAT laugh and has this way of doing or saying things that just touch my soul or make me laugh so hard. He's terrific! The youngest is G - the only girl. She's in 3 grade (or nerd grade as D puts it). She's learning spanish and like T, does very well with it. She did swim team over the summer, and dances during the school year. She's also in choir this year and like to join in UIL and other school activities. She's very active and is always in and out of the house. She's a spiritual soul too and has been the driving force with getting me to church most of the time, or getting us to read scriptures or having FHE. She's my angel.

Rants of a Teenage Nerd

WARNING!





NERD TALK AHEAD




TURN BACK NOW



I MEAN IT






In case your not familiar with wizards of the coast, (http://www.wizards.com/) it is a very popular comapny that has become quite rich on the re-release of a certian RPG game called Dungeons and Dragons.

I have accepted dnd (in all it's nerdage) into my heart and it now accounts for 10.7263547584763758473828% of my daily life.

However,

Wizards has released a new version of dnd. This is version 4.0 (duh, duh, DUH)

Woo hoo. At-will powers, paragon classes, epic classes, new races and classes, encounter powers, Yay!

How the he---- heck am I supposed to keep track of all this. Where are all the alignments, where are the gnomes and half orcs, no more multiclassing, no barbarian, no sorcerer, no monks, nothing!

Also, in case you dont know, dnd rules are located in hefty 3 lbs and up handbooks that range from $20-$40 each, and I need 3.

I have to download them on my computer and they range from 300 to 500 pages.

*sigh*

My life is so hard.


Yours truly,
Vanilla Dice.
