I was pretty lucky today, I again got my archaeology achievement with only two solves. I imagine the grind will be a lot easier, until the last two probably when I will get a billion repeats.
Speaking of a billion repeats, what is up with Canoptic Jar? I've probably solved six or seven throughout my WoW career, with a few in a row. Makes it frustrating when you still need your battle tank.

More Archaeology
Well, it turns out my painful grinding yesterday payed off, it took me two solves to get my achievement. Other than doing LFR, I don't think I'll be doing any more tonight. Work gave me quite a bit of "homework" to do. Yeah, it sucks getting homework after you've graduated, but if it gets me a raise I'll do it. I'm not above brown-nosing for raises.

The Three Brew Fathers
Just a quick update tonight. I decided to get an archaeology achievement tonight, and it took me about two hours longer than I thought it would. I had thought I would end up getting one of the 5 of X artifact achievement, but I ended up with "The Three Brew Fathers" instead.
I have to say, it was a little frustrating, I actually thought about giving up for the night. But at the very least, with all the work I put into solving the artifacts, I have a few now that are 4/5, so that should make next achievement hunting session pretty short. (Hopefully)

Profession Leveling!
Well, today this is kind of cheating a little bit, but I'm going to give myself a pass. (Loooooooooong day at work.) But for my achievement today I'm going to claim my alts finishing blacksmithing and enchanting. That means the only profession I have left for "Master of All" is Engineering. We'll see how that goes.
Off to bed!

Another lazy post.
This weekend, after my first week of work, I kind of decided to take the lazy route again and just post what I did the last two days. I got a couple of the Pandaren quest achievements, and then today I finished up my Lunar Festival Achievements.
Other than that, I worked on completing my blacksmithing. Meaning leveling my character two levels. Good news: Alt is now 87. Bad news: she only has 9 motes. And I need one more to get the pattern to finish, so who knows how long that will take. I supposed she will most likely be my fourth 90, with my hunter my 5th since I need to level her for Engineering, but the leveling thing hasn't gotten easy for me yet. It might be easier for my hunter because, yes, I'm a girl and I love my super cute pets.
Well, after realizing I actually don't work until 1 tomorrow, I might stay up a little later to try and get my mote (and finish my laundry). And getting that, that means then it's off to engineering. I have a feeling in order to get my cataclysm material cock block on leveling my enchanting I might just do a few cataclysm quests on my paladin, because as previously stated multiple times, I am just far too cheap to spend 20g or more on an essence.

Two days of achievements
Well I forgot to post yesterday, but instead of just making two posts I'm going to be lazy and roll both posts into one. I'm starting to run out of easy achievements to do, but in a way that's good because now I really have to dig around into my achievement log and see what needs to be done, as well as makes me plan ahead in order to be able to keep my goal running. (Aka, doing my dailies.)
Yesterday I found a quest line I overlooked, giving me "Ain't Lost No More." It wasn't too hard. And today I got a rare Mogu archaeology item which finished up "Instruments of Cruelty." Now that I look at my logs, it seems like maybe Archaeology might be the next line of achievements I hit up. Doing panda archaeology is actually doubly beneficial, since I can exchange the finished artifacts for a handful of Tol'Vir artifacts for my mount and pet.
That's all for today, since I have off the next couple days I'm going to probably focus on getting some professions leveled, doing dailies, and stuff for my job. (I'm getting a lot more hours than I thought I would, which is absolutely awesome because I'm a work a holic.)

Riches of Pandaria
I ended up getting done a lot later than I wanted to, but I got Riches of Pandaria done today, meaning I only have one (chain?) of achievements left for my Pandaria exploration quests.
I finally hit revered with August Celestials, which means I'll probably be doing their quests along with Shado-Pan. I seem to have an easier time doing dailies whenever I hit revered, probably due to the commendations you can add onto your character. I still have a few pain in the butt achievements to do for the Shado-Pan though, so I probably won't be done done with that faction for a while.
All in all, not sure what I'll be doing tomorrow, but for now its bed time again. (Still getting used to work schedule...right now I'm in my Sleep-work-sleep-work-maybe eat-sleep work phase.)

Restoring Balance
Today I decided to do a pretty easy achievement that fell through the cracks...but I didn't realize exactly how easy it would be. The hardest part was actually finding it, which I should probably make a map of sometime. You literally click on a broken object and boom, done.
Same situation as last night, tired so I'm not going to focus on too much more. I also took some Nyquil so I get a good night's sleep so I'll be conking out here soon. I'd rather get up early even though my work schedule doesn't demand I get up at 5 am like my internship did. But I did do Shado Pan dailies since I hit revered tonight, and August Celestials since it was Chi Ji day. I'm hoping to get all of the challengers sooner rather than later, I heard that could be a RNG PITA.
About all for tonight, a little bit of questing then lights out.

Bounty of Pandaria
Well, today I wasn't able to put too much time into WoW because I had my working interview today. And then they hired me today so I ended up going out to a nice dinner with the SO. :) Despite this, I still ran and got a few treasures of Pandaria to get my "Bounty of Pandaria" achievement. I really don't think there will be any other achievements tonight. Other than finally being able to sleep.
As for where this puts me in the WoW/RL balance, I'm not really sure. Now that I have a job, I actually have a career to invest into, and it's a career that is really important to me, so I don't know how much WoW time that will leave me. But, for right now, I'm going to continue with my goal, just to see how well it will go.
I might level my blacksmithing alt a bit tonight, but I think I'll probably just go to bed after the Chi'Ji dailies. I should do shado-pan, but I don't have the energy.

The only achievement I managed for today was the 'Pro Pet Crew,' meaning I now only have 45 more level 25 pets to get to finish that leveling chain. I have no idea when I'll be going for that, that really seems like a lot.
Not a lot to write today, since I have an interview to get ready for tomorrow.

14K achievement points!
I actually hit the milestone a few days ago, so I'm kind of surprised I missed it, but I'm now officially a part of the 14k club. Still a long ways off from the 18k club, but I know I'll get there eventually.
Yesterday I didn't do much except pet battles, getting me a few of the achievements. I have to say, 5k battles (for both the PvP and non-PvP pet battle achievements) is quite a grind.
I don't think I'll be doing too much today, since I'm exhausted and I have to get ready for my 2nd interview tomorrow, but I'll get something.

Glorious!
Today my "Stand around and do nothing while I study" strategy paid off pretty well and I camped the last four mobs I needed for "Glorious." It's nice to know that that's done and over with before the servers become CRZ. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be, coupled with the `1-2 hour spawn timer and the fact that all of the mobs spawned at the same time in each zone, it made it easy to just swoop across and kill them all if you were lucky and there weren't a lot of people on.
I also did my first Terrace of Endless Spring run and got my achievement for there...but no gear. Oh well, can't win them all. (Okay, I lied, I got a pair of boots I didn't need.)
For tomorrow, not sure what I'll be up to.

Lost and Found and Heart of Fear
I know its months late, but I finally did my first LFR raid of Heart of Fear. It wasn't a bad instance, got some new boots but that's about it. (I'm really looking for head, shoulders, and weapon for my Mystically Epic achievement, but no luck yet.)
I also finally caught the Pandaren fisherman and got my Ancient Pandaren Fishing Charm, as well as "Lost and Found." It was a pleasant surprise. I haven't gone fishing with it yet, but I'm sure the husband will be hounding me for some raid food soon. (And it wouldn't hurt to fish up 50 cooking tokens to finally get my little bell.)
I've also made a lot of progress on my glorious achievement. As of now I only have 3 left, and only one of the types really gives me any trouble soloing. Since I have a lot of studying to do I might as well sit and camp it while I study for my boards exam. (I have temporarily given up on Ironjaw, after fishing for about five hours the other night and not getting him. It's okay, I'm sure I'll have lots of studying coming up.
Only thing I really have planned for today is doing LFR again, and I haven't completed the one coming up so I should snag that achievement. Other that that, just a lot of studying and preparing for working interview.

Those damn fishing achievements.
For a while now, there's a few fishing achievements I've let slip by me, just because mostly I don't have a lot of time to just sit and do nothing. And usually not the patience. But, since I'm a multi-tasking addict in real life, I'm surprised that I didn't come up with this idea sooner.
I have a boards exam coming up soon, and it occurred to me that it is the perfect time to sit and study while I do the fishing achievements that take absolutely forever. Just park my toon, hit the fishing button, and study until I hear the bobber go off. That sound is loud enough for me, but there are lots of add-ons that can be downloaded to make a longer sound.
So, tonight I'll be going after my rare fish from Ironforge. I already got my coin achievment while studying pharmacology and it didn't feel terrible...I actually had accumulated seven gold coins I didn't use when I finally got it.
That means the only thing I have left for my Salty achievement is Master Angler of Azeroth. I'm not really feeling doing that, I tried it once and didn't really like sitting there competing for nodes, but I'll have to get it eventually. I may or may not go for it on Sunday, I'm sure I won't get it second time around either, I just hope CRZ crap doesn't screw it up.
Achieved:
-Monkey In The Middle
-Spill No Evil
-There's Gold In That There Fountain

Terrific Trio! (And two to go!)
Well, thanks to the company of my hubby, we both dinged 90 on our third alts. Leveling together was a lot more pleasant than leveling alone I would say, if anything it made the time go faster. (His habit of trying to solo 20 mobs at once helped.)
Today was also a great day for killing rares, I'm down to 13 rares needed for "Glorious," and I also got "I'm In Your Base, Killing Your Dudes." It was surprisingly easy, two were up when I got there, and the third was up after I did a heroic, netting me "Cleaning Up," which was also absurdly easy with two heroic raid geared DPS.
As for achievements I'll get tomorrow, I'm not really sure. Despite my earlier alleged exhaustion I still have a little play time left in me, I might work on engineering on my alt. I have my blacksmith all specced, in pandaria, and ready to level to get the last 14 points of her blacksmithing, but after just dinging 90 I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to another leveling spree just yet, especially since her gear is too bad to get into dungeons just yet. (And to be fair, I'm probably terrible at warlock.)
So I think I'll just level up engineering for a bit.

Fortune of Pandaria
Last night, after a day of being tired getting ready for interviews, I managed to snag 'Fortune of Pandaria.' This is actually a really simple achievement since you can easily find all of the treasures of Pandaria on wowikki or a similar site and just fly to all of them. Though you have to not confuse them with 'Finders Keepers' or 'Lost and Found,' none of the treasures I've gotten (nor any that count for the first achievement at all I'm willing to bet) counts towards those two. I've read briefly about them, and to me it seems like those treasures are kind of like a rare spawn, so I'm not ready to go camping those yet. (Still casually working on Glorious, about halfway done.)
Though I read on the achievement forums that now server restarts do not respawn pets. I have two reactions. First: THANK GOD I got my scourged whelpling and minfernal when I did. Second: What a shitty move. The CRZ stuff makes farming those pets bad enough...but to take away one surefire way for a handful of people to get their achievement? That's just cruel. I really hope they fix it somehow, because I can't imagine having to sit there and farm forever for one pet for an achievement on a server that is over camped. (And someone brought up some good points about the spring holiday achievements too...thank god I'm done with those.) This whole CRZ thing was a mess and a terrible idea. Yeah, some realms are dead but...suck it up. If you don't like it, move to a more populated realm. But, that's just beating a dead horse.
Well, off to find something else to do. I am exhausted after getting nearly NO sleep last night, but I have another project of an achievement in mind. But that's for later, and I still have to get my achievement for tonight.

Wanderer's Festival
I didn't make my post for yesterday, but I managed to get two achievements and a few pets. Yesterday, since it was Sunday, I decided to get "Wanderers, Dreamers, and You" out of the way (love that song, btw.) It wasn't too hard, I just stood on the beach by the turtle statue in Krasarang Wilds at 9 server (it also happens at 11 server) and after about five minutes or so I got my achievement. I also managed to snag my Wanderer's Festival Hatchling, which was lucky considering there were probably 20 or so other people there to get it.
After that, since I felt kind of cheap not getting another achievement for the day (it was 12:00 MY time, but on my achievements page it registered as for the previous day) I also got Humane Society done in Scarlet Halls. It was actually pretty easy, ignore the dogs in the beginning, throw meat to the rest, kill boss, profit.
I haven't put much time into my alts the past day, I do have an 89 sitting waiting to be leveled as well as a couple other alts that need to be leveled to 87, but I didn't really work on them much yesterday. I don't know what I'll be getting today, since I have to get ready for an interview tomorrow and of course that takes all importance, but I'm sure I'll manage to get something done.

Saving Stoneplow
I didn't actually do too much on my main today. I leveled one of my alts a bit (one level to go!) and worked on gathering blacksmith materials. Farming cobalt is the worst, but I farmed a lot extra (by accident) so hopefully that means I'll have enough left over for any I need for engineering, and some left over for when my hubby levels his blacksmithing. I actually managed to blast through cata blacksmithing, so I'm hoping to finish up tomorrow, hopefully I won't have to get the extra two levels to get to vale to get some patterns, but we'll see.
The one achievement I got to keep up with my goal was "Savior of Stoneplow." It was a relatively easy quest line that I hadn't done yet for one reason or another, so it was good to get that out of the way. But my pandaren quest achievement page looks dauntingly undone. Unfortunately a lot of them are linked to dailies (which means I just have to buckle down and get them done.)
On the agenda for tomorrow is the Wanderer's festival (which is one already, lol), a third level 90, and hopefully blacksmithing/enchanting done. (Since I'm relying on my blacksmithing to provide disenchanting mats.)

Pro Pet Group and Killer rabbits.
Today I got my 15th level 25 pet...really feels a long way off from the ultimate 75 needed. (Not looking forward to grinding that one, lol.) But the 30 reward is a Pristine Pet Trap...which I would have really appreciated back when I was still mass capturing pets. (You'd think Blizz would give that a little sooner to give more incentive to pet collect.)
And while I wasn't planning on it, I was glad to kill the Darkmoon Rabbit today for "That Rabbit's Dynamite!" Now I only need one more to finish up all my darkmoon faire achievements, but I don't know when I'll go for it.
Tomorrow, since it's Sunday I really want to get the wandering festival achievements out of the way, and hopefully capture my pet turtle too. I've also been working on completing blacksmithing (up to cobalt now, woo!) But looking at all the guides, it looks like I might have to get all of my profession alts to 87. At least that's only two more. My husband also wants to work on powerleveling our alts together, so I may or may not have another 90 tomorrow for the 3 90s achievement.
Time for bed.

All Pets Allowed (and Blacksmithing Sucks)
Today I started out the day with finally leveling my Chrominus to 25 for "All Pets Allowed," and snagging a Coral Adder for my pet collection. As I was flying around Outland endlessly to collect enough Fel Iron Ore to make my eyes bleed looking at it, I took a few breaks to battle some of the tamers, and realized they are a pretty big asset when leveling pets. They are a ton of XP, and once you get to know their moves it's easy to know what order to put your pets in and what pets you can sneak it. Needless to say, that is something I'll be utilizing as a grind up the last few pet battling achievements.
Last night I also maxed out my leatherworking and skinning, and began to finish blacksmithing, but ran out of steam when I underestimated just how much fel iron I needed, and how many other people were also farming fel iron. (Insert CRZ rant #34381)
For tomorrow, I'll probably work on pet battles, and maybe work on leveling my third alt. After helping my husband grind out some levels, I managed to get her to 88. Sadly, though, her rested is all out, and I just really hate leveling alts without rested experience. So tomorrow is wide open.

Taming the World (a little buggy)
Today I managed to get 'Taming the World' by finishing up Kalimdor. I had a little bit of a scare when I finished defeating all of the tamers and didn't get the achievement, but a few seconds of googleing revealed that I had to start the quests on my horde character if I wanted to get the achievement. Luckily, that wasn't too hard and I got my super awesome Safari hat. This is going to be nice for all those "level up a billion pets" achievements. (And my inner completion freak is happy.)
Other than that, I finally decided to buy my brawlers guild ticket for "First Rule of Brawlers Guild." I don't know when I'll actually start the brawlers guild stuff, my gear is absolutely shit-tastic so probably not for a while, but I guess that opens up a few achieves for me to work on.
Not going for much else tonight, tomorrow I'll probably finish off a battle pet leveling achievement or two (since I got my second leveling wind with my safari hat!) I'll also, hopefully, be finishing up my rogues leatherworking and maybe work on some blacksmithing. I finally got her skinning maxed, and now I'm just working on those last few annoying crafting points that makes you want to rip your eyes out. (BTW, best leather farming spot by far is the place between the grassy kline and the pools of purity. Not only are there a ton of easy to kill turtles there for skinning, it's a quest hub so there will be lots of people killing skinnable creatures.)

Pandaren Spirit Tamer
Yesterday, that was really the only achievement that I got. A lot of people report that the Earth spirit was the most difficult, but I personally found that the Air spirit kicked my butt. I actually can't put my finger on why the Earth spirit would be so bad. I used my Anubisath Idol, Amethyst Shale Hatchling, and Emperor Crab and pretty much demolished it.
Anyway, for today I plan on finishing up all of the Kalimdor trainers and maybe leveling a dragon, which is the last one I need for "All Pets Allowed." But most importantly, the RL achievement of doing and putting away every single piece of laundry in my house. Because having a clean house is nice.

SCOURGED WHELPLING!
Normally I don't do morning posts, but I am so relieved that I got on right after realm restart and got my whelpling. It was a gray, but I upgraded it to blue with a battlestone. Even so, it seems like I was one of the lucky ones, the place was heavily camped (I'd say probably 20+ people), and a few didn't get theirs.
But I'm glad that's over, and now I just have to wait for Qiraji guardling to come out. I'm kind of nervous for that one, it'll probably be heavily camped for at least a few days from people trying to finish their achievement. The snowy owl wasn't too bad, so I'm just hoping it isn't a god awful respawn rate or something like that.
But anyway, off to doing other Tuesday activities. (Woo hoo mount farming).

-Northrend Safari

Beating Major Payne! (And more Pet achievements.)
Finally, after getting my but handed to me by his bear, I beat him with some other leveled pets. I forget who mentioned it, but it was said that Major Payne was the first team with which you actually had to build a specific team, and I found that to be pretty much the case. With him, my Ace in the hole was my Anubisath Idol, and he actually did pretty good against most of the teams after. He hits like a truck, has passive regen, and his reflect ability can be a godsend.
That said, I got a whole slew of achievements from finishing up killing all of the battle tamers (except a few in Kalimdor that fell through the cracks, which I will be getting to.) Pretty soon I'll be finished up with my pet achievements. (Actually, maybe not, since one absolutely cannot be completed until summer.) At first I was really skeptical...and downright derisive of Pokewow, but I have to admit it was actually kind of fun. Now I'll need a new set of achievements to work on soon, but it's all good.
Tomorrow I will probably just clean up a few more of my pet achievements. I really don't know what my next phase of achievements are going to be, I'm a little worried soon my one achievement a day goal might be hard to keep, but I'll keep at it.
Also, tomorrow there will be rolling restarts. I'm not sure if it'll help me get a whelping, but I'm going to try to be there. Along with 20 billion other people most likely, but who knows, trying is better than nothing I suppose.
Achieved:
-Taming Northrend
-Taming Cataclysm

Amani Battle Bear!
True to my goal, I did get my achievement done for the day, thanks to the help of my awesome husband and his awesome friend. We 3-manned ZA and helped me get my achievement and my battle bear. I'm a huge mount collector, but since I am fortunate enough to have the Amani War Bear, it wasn't too high up on my priority list.
That gets me thinking about the BMAH and mounts, and the people who are upset that now people who weren't around for content or who didn't 'earn' their mount can now get them. Honestly, I don't share that sentiment, and I'm grateful that people now have this opportunity to get all the mounts. I think it's a pretty terrible thing to see someone on a mount that you love, and then look it up and realize that you started playing a year too late. And hell, if you can farm up that much gold, you deserve to have it. (Unless you're a bot...then you just suck at life.) I mean, if everyone on the server got a Zulian Tiger it doesn't make my Zulian Tiger any less special to me. I got the Zulian Tiger because I wanted a lot of mounts...and everyone having one doesn't make my mount count any less.
Anyway, less ranty-ness. As for right now I'm sort of working on pet battle achievement grinding (since, really, most of the ones I have left are just big grinds.) Don't think I'll be getting any more achievements tonight.

Onyxia DONE!
I didn't get the chance to post last night, however I did get my achievement for the day. I got the final Onyxia raid achievement I needed: "Many Whelps! Handle It!" (25 player)
Today was a pretty busy IRL day, so I'm kind of exhausted right now, but I'm going to get my achievement today. Not sure at all what it will be, but I'll post it either tonight or tomorrow.

Tillers DONE!
Today I finally showered Jogu with enough booze to get me exalted for "Friends on the Farm." Other than that, I didn't really do much but level the rogue a little bit and level skinning. I was hoping to level skinning all the way before she hit max level, but it seems like I'm going to have to get at least another level before I can max out skinning without a lot of difficulty.
Other than that, not much to add. A pretty low key WoW day.

Finishing up the Vale and Farming Dark Soil
For my achievement today, since I wanted to focus on my alts and RL issues I decided to just finish up Eternally in the Vale. The quest line was rather long and annoying, but it gave a nice neck piece for when I eventually decide to make my offset.
Lately, my project has been farming dark soils. I don't know where I've been all this time, but I found a rather good place to farm them, so I've been trying to raise the reputation of all the Tiller inhabitants. I only have three left (soon to be two) so it will be nice to get that off the to-do list.
And as previously stated, I've been focusing on my alts and leveling their professions a lot. Though, I logged on my rogue determined to just find somewhere to sit and skin, and somehow ended up just leveling instead. All good I suppose, she'll need to be 90 for the achievement anyway.
Achieved:
-Eternally in the Vale
Edit: On a whim I decided to check out a few areas that harbored rare mobs, and managed to find the last two rare types that I needed for "could we find more like that?" The monkey was a dooker. And again I'm a little taken aback to see yet another bloody rare-esque achievement replacing the one I just did...no eta for that one, I haven't completed the outland and northrend ones, and haven't even put much time into doing so.
Achieved:
-Could We Find More Like That?

Finishing Dungeons
Today I've been rather lazy on my main for achievements, since I've been putting the majority of my time into working on "Master of All." As of right now I'm working on my enchanter, which means a lot of dungeon runs because I'm too cheap to buy mats off the AH.
Nevertheless, I got my achievement for doing all my heroic dungeons (months late, I know.) And I'm posting a little bit earlier than normal, but I think I'm not going to be working on anything else tonight really.
Achieved:
-Heroid: Scarlet Monastery
-Pandaria Dungeon Hero

Happy New Year!
Today for my achievements, I finally got one of my alts to 90 for both Dynamic Duo and Double Agent. At this point in time, I can't really imagine getting all five 90 toons to finish the achievement chain, but I do have 3 more 85s, so it's probably something I'll do eventually. (It's a weird thing, but I really do dislike seeing my "general" page unfinished.)
Not sure what I'll be doing for tomorrow, since my two big 'projects' are done my WoW time is pretty much wide open (though I'll be doing a lot of RL chores.) I guess I'll just decide when I wake up what achievement(s) I'll be going for.
