My name is Washu in the game. I have been offline with AE for about four years now. I was off playing another game. It got boring. So, I am back to AE. I am also in school at the moment, I am getting my Master's Degree in Criminal Justice. I have about 26 weeks to go. The count down has begun. I have the class I am in to finish, another one to take and then a comprehensive examination. The comprehensive examination will be the killer. I have two children (well adults now) and I am married to Val (we just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary). I crochet, cross stitch, sew a quilt (making it for my mother- and father-in-law's 50th wedding anniversary), I paint sometimes, and I bowl. I want to work for NCIS after I get my degree since there is a Naval Base here close to where we live. I may end up just teaching for a few years to say I did something with my degree. I want to use it not just let it sit on a shelf somewhere like an old dusty book. I love to read "Wuthering Heights". It's my favorite book of all time. I have read other classics, they just don't really move me much. I am a hopeless romantic I guess. I just had knee surgery in July, my knee is all better now. I guess that is it for me now. Not really much going on in my life. Just taking care of the kids and the hubby. Oh, we have 5 kitties (they are all grown up but they are still our babies) and 1 dachshund terrier, who is 12 years old. He is such a hoot. He has to have his own blanket to sleep at night. He wears a little bandanna, he gets upset if you take it off. So we have to keep clean ones on hand to change them when his gets dirty. He mopes around the house when you take it off, it is really quite a sad sight. Makes me laugh though some times how much personality that they all have. Oh, we have a fish tank. It has 5 guppies and an army of snails. We found one in the tank and it multiplied. We had two crabs but they died. We had some ghost shrimp but they haven't been seen in quite some time. My kids are in college. One goes to the University of Maryland online and the other goes to Kaplan online. One is getting a humanities bachelor's and the other is getting an IT bachelor's. They are working hard. Both should be done sometime in 2011. Shoot, I think we will all be done sometime in 2011. Seems so far off but right around the corner at the same time. My husband asked me if I was writing my life story I was typing so much. . Well I am out. See you in game.
