So 3.3 has been out for a few weeks and the good reviews are popping up everywhere. One of the things I have read most about is the Dungeon Finder. I haven't used the Dungeon Finder on any of my 80s, but a couple days ago I decided to check it out on my level 24 priest. Wow!!!! This is one of the best tools that Blizzard has released for leveling alts in a long time.
As a healer, the longest wait I have had is about 5 minutes and I gained 3 levels in about 4 instance runs! I always choose the random option and get the added bonus of a Satchel of Helpful Goods, which contains a nice level appropriate blue item. The blues aren't always class appropriate, but since I can DE it is a free shard each run.
I plan on using the Dungeon Finder on my paladin to get through some heroics and get truimph badges for Furious Gladiator gear. If my low level experience and the good things I hear are any indication, I am sure I will enjoy it as well. Thank you for reading, feel free to comment and as always have fun!

Guild = Drama?
Since I started playing WoW over 2 years ago, I have only been in three guilds.
The first guild was high drama and did the "More Dots" yelling during a raid. With me being new to WoW I was nervous about raiding, add a raid leader that yelled and I was sick to my stomach and never wanted to raid again! So my DH and I decided to take time away from the guild and start working on some Alliance toons on a different server. It wasn't too long after that we heard that the main two guild leaders had cleared out the guild bank and disbanded the guild without telling anyone.
The second guild my DH and I created along with 2 other family members and a friend from the first guild. Everything was great, we had 5 people so we could do raids and we each had a different crafting skill so we didn't have to beg in trade chat for enchants or misc things. We did eventually bring in two or three new people but that was it. Eventually the other family members left and we decided to go back to the Horde. The time in this guild was enjoyable, the drama was minimal, but being such a small guild made it feel like we were required to play every day.
Guild number three is our current guild and I am loving it! The guild leader has become a good friend, and the guildies are fun to play with. The drama is under control, everyone shares and helps out whether it be needing to run raids to get gear or doing some farming for mats. The "no stress" atmosphere has given me the opportunity to take occasional breaks away from WoW to have what I call "ME" time. I don't feel guilty that I am not there, and I know that when I return I will not be kicked but welcomed back with open arms.
Now THAT is a guild!

Lights, Camera, Action!!
What is today? Only one of the greatest anticipated movie release days in I don't know how long, well ok not so long if you count the New Moon release a few weeks ago, all hail Edward!
Anyway, I am talking about Avatar! And it is out today! I am so looking forward to seeing all the special effects that they have given us a small glimpse of in the previews. I wonder how much of Avatar is real and how much is computer generated. You know what, who cares, as long as it is Sci-Fi and blows my mind I am awesomely entertained!
See you at the movies!

Not Enough Time
You know there is really not enough time in the day to do everything I want to do. That includes everything I want to do in WoW.
Think about it, you get up in the morning and go to work. Then you come home and have this mile long list of everything you want to do in WoW! Below is a sample of what I try to do:
Lvl 80 Deathknight
1. Do the Ravasaur mount quest daily for 20 days, I’m on #13!
2. Daily cooking quest (for cooking hat)
3. Daily fishing quest (for fishing hat)
4. Make sure you have an oracle egg and get a new one every 7 days when it hatches into an aged yoke instead of a flying mount *sigh.
5. Be available to disenchant or enchant guildies items. (which I love doing btw!)
6. Do daily heroic instance to earn badges.
7. Do as many other heroic instances to earn older badge for gear to hold you up meanwhile.
8. Do daily PVP
9. Do Arenas
Lvl 80 Priest
10. Log onto second lvl 80 toon and do the above quests all over again. Well not the Ravasaur one, I can only deal with one at a time thank you!
11. Work on alchemy flasks, that is if I have any herbs!
12. Transmute gems
13. Work on daily quests to earn enough gold for epic Northrend flying.
Think this is enough to do every day in Wow? Now, add the fact that my DH (dear hubby) and I have just purchased a Wii and Rock Bank for our PS3 yeah! When exactly will I fit all that in between WoW? Don’t have a clue but it’s gotta work somehow! Why you ask? Because my DH and I are nuts, plain and simple! Woot!
