Got cash back for the PS and the video card was placed back into my bank account. Sweet.<\/p>\n<p> We&#8217;re pretty much ready for the Italy trip (which we leave for on the 19th) and I&#8217;m getting excited about that. Yesterday I sent off to <a href=\"https:\/\/judiang.livejournal.com\"><b>judiang<\/b><\/a> a packet of paperwork that we&#8217;d been collecting at our Italy meetings. This is going to be a fun trip!

I&#8217;m now close to being level 42 (a key level on my way to level 50). Woot!<\/p>\n<p> Now I&#8217;m sitting at mom &#038; dad&#8217;s cabin at the Lake and drinking a grasshopper mist while I type this up. The weather is perfect and there&#8217;s a steady breeze into the 3-season room. We&#8217;re going to have grilled steaks &#038; strawberry shortcake for supper.
