Hopped on Autcraft early to bring in the new year with our other Skylord who lives in the UK! 😀 Happy New Year to our friends across the pond!!! 🎊
New Year's Eve celebration takes places every hour on the hour with fireworks until everyone has brought in the New Year. This event is done with so much love because there are quite a few children, and adults, that cannot celebrate with fireworks because of sensory overload, etc. This Minecraft server really is special!!!
It's FRIDAY and I have a three day weekend ahead! 😀 We only had a three day work week this week, but it kicked my butt!! Dealing with clients coming into the office and some even refusing to leave. Others trying to take our posters down and wall plaques saying they want a copy. Anxiety over routing and because some just can't get their crap together!! Ugh! I honestly didn't log off my laptop until almost 6pm because I had a course that I had to take by Dec 31st. I was going to take the time to complete it but was called to the conference room to notarize and sign documents. Yep. Weekend ready here!
Happy 20th Birthday to my awesome beautiful daughter!!! I remember all the years pushing you in your stroller and look how fast time has passed! We are so proud of the caring and kindhearted young lady that you have grown up to be! 😊 We love you lots sweetie!! Keep being YOU!!! 😍
It's that time of year!!! Kicking back with my amazing daughter and watching these two Christmas classics!!!
Every year AF adds to the Christmas Village and has a new advent calendar. We get goodies through the month of December and then on Christmas day, we get the Autcraft Christmas sword and a present from under the tree. It's quite fun and a great event for those that don't have plans that day, especially for those with special needs who cannot handle all of the craziness.
Attending Autcraft's Christmas event. Every year we log on in our pjs and sit on a little bed to little to Bessie read Twas the Night Before Christmas story. It's quite fun and we get a shulker box full of Christmas goodies!
At POTW (player of the week) celebrating Skye's Birthday week. Looks like we got stuck in the ground here in this pic. 😄
A few years ago, I had downloaded and installed this game called Genshin Impact. It's a beautifully made game, with the most amazing music and graphics, but I ended up uninstalling it when a particular fight game me so much grief. My son downloaded and installed it, and enjoyed it so much that he talked my daughter into installing it. LOL! They have both been playing for the last month or so and have been trying to get me to re-install it and play. It's not exactly a multiplayer game but it does have a co-op option to invite others players to your world.
So, I decided to re-install it and start playing again. My so is very strategic and very into any game he starts playing. He loves delving into the lore of any game. Of course that fight that stalled me - it ended up being very easy once he told me that the trail character that was in my group was the key. 😄
Happy First Day of the Winter solstice! I know some of you out there are getting that white fluffy stuff, but not here in Texas. We rarely see a White Christmas. 😊
Today my unit had a meeting and our Christmas get together. We ordered pizza and had a Secret Santa gift exchange. I drew my supervisor's name. I got her the cute little sign below to put in her office. LOL! We have a saying here, "If you didn't document it, it didn't happen". So, I thought it appropriate. Mandy drew my name and got me this cute Christmas gnome. Alas, I forgot to snap a pic of him before leaving him at work on my file cabinet.
I have been getting a new save together on my Sims 4 game to start up a legacy challenge - royal style. I want to turn a few of the worlds into Kingdoms and I started with Oasis Springs, which is similar to Egypt and the middle-east. So, I decided to go with an Arabian/Moroccan style. This will be my palace for my royal family. Of course this will be on an entirely different lot when I move it and will be facing the correct way. LOL.
I initially wanted to use Topkapi Palace as my build, but the lots would need to be bigger to justify that palace, which is one of my favorites. Being a history lover, I have always been fascinated with that era and the Ottoman Empire. So, that little red flag you see is the flag of Turkey. The Ottoman Empire encompassed Constantinople, which is now Istanbul, Turkey. 😀
And I found a new series to watch about the Ottoman Empire! It's actually been out for years but I just recently came across an English dub on YouTube, which I needed since it's in Turkish! It's called Magnificent Century and is about Sulieman the Magnificent, which focuses on his reign and his marriage to Hurrem, one of his favorites.
Welcome December and holy cow - Christmas is right before us!!! It's been 84 years since I posted. 😁 I finally updated my website and blog. My family is feeling better thankfully. I was feeling under the weather for weeks and my cough just lingered. We did get another possible diagnosis - RSV. Yeah, what the littles get. Anyway, I am just glad that we are all finally feeling well and can gear up for Christmas.
