About Jenny

Jenny is a wife, mother, mam'ma, artist and accountant living and working in western North Carolina.

Five comics to add joy to any geeks life…

xkcd – love, math, and lunacy.
The Order of the Stick – like D&D for the artistically challenged.
Ctrl + Alt + Del – Slacker fun + video games
Dark Legacy – World of Warcraft, written by and for players
Penny Arcade – while I don’t always recognize the cultural touchstones in this comic, I “get it” often enough [...]

Day 61: Lunch, and BIG news!

Today I enjoyed lunch with friends at 12 Bones in Asheville.  While at lunch, I got to share our super exciting Florida news:  we’re going to be GRANDPARENTS!

This news really overshadowed the rest of the day.  Other things of note:

applied for one position
was tortured by a personal trainer at the Y
made Mexican casserole for dinner
played [...]

Day 57: Gardening

I finally put the starts that Ren and Bleu left us in the garden this morning.  (I have a great theoretical fondness for the “Kill Your Lawn” idea – but only if I can also have a vegetable garden.)  Our 4′ x 8′ raised bed (similar to what this website sells – but much, much [...]

Day 55: A whole lot of nothing…

This morning Moira has a photo shoot with Grace, the model she met recently through Model Mayhem’s website.  It was in downtown Asheville. I dropped her off, headed home to spend some time job searching and playing Warcraft, then headed back out to pick her up (with Marc in tow).  She had a great time [...]

Day 49: Television & Games

Today Marc and I continued watching Fall of Eagles, a BBC miniseries about the revolutions and governmental changes at the turn of the 20th century.  Today’s episodes were lately concerned with the Kaiser and the Tsar.  One of my favorite histories about this time period is written by Robert Massie, Nicholas and Alexandra.  We kept [...]

Day 42: For the Horde!

Today was dedicated to World of Warcraft – go figure.  I’ve created a character on another server, in order to play, or at least chat, with a friend who lost her job at the same time I did.  She’s never on, so that part hasn’t really worked … but I’m doing things in the game [...]

Day 41: Moving

Today I worked on moving:  on and about.

Moving On: I’ve begun to look seriously at what I’ll do next.  Now, of course I have already looked at that in the sense that I intend to continue trying to be an accountant.  All the time I spent returning to get my degree in accounting will not [...]

Zul’Farrak

A few weeks back we decided to go to ZF, I think possibly for someone’s alt toon (but I may remember wrong) and ended up practicing pulling 2/3 of the place at one time.

Here you see us in the middle of a pull…

…and again after we’d done.

I’ve really enjoyed being able to field our own [...]

The Four Mariachis

The kids, Marc and I all went played World of Warcraft last weekend with a goal in mind: get a new pet for our characters.  Moira came up with the very brilliant “get the mariachi hat that summons a coyote pet” idea.  As you can see, it went well.

For Milo’s 15th Birthday…

She requested a raid on Undercity – a Horde capital city in the game of World of Warcraft. We did our best to comply.

It was fun – albeit short lived.

Happy birthday, Milo!
