Happy New Year!

Comments Off

We’re having a quiet night at home, a nice dinner and bottle of wine followed by raiding and various game playing activities. Fallout 3 is on the kid’s machine at the moment and the hubby is probably not going to make it til midnight.

I am bordering on wanting to sleep, having finished off most a the bottle myself, but then, raiding in less than a coherent state is pretty normal….

Hope everyone has a safe night, see you all next year.

Nothing says Xmas like WoW geeks :)

I’m copying this from the official WoW forums, because it’s too good to get lost in the shuffle. Credit to Koronis on the Zul’jin server for giving us this lovely bit of entertainment

Every Toon
Down in Azeroth
Liked Winter Veil a lot…
But the Lich King,
who lived in Northrend,
Did NOT!

The Lich King hated Winter Veil! The whole Winter Veil season!
Now, please don’t ask why. Only lore geeks know the reason.
It could be that Frostmourne had corrupted him outright.
It could be, perhaps, that he suffers from frostbite.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that Jaina broke his heart in Westfall.

My brother and I both said “we should wait and do this later” he went as far as telling my dad not to call, and to wait until Sunday to even discuss what we’re all going to do.

I just got a call from dad…they’re heading to my brother’s tomorrow and cooking there, and planning to bring everything to our house on Sunday afternoon…

This is after we all said no, let’s wait.

So….

Tomorrow, I have to completely clean my house and get everything ready to deal with this shit, and then pretend that I’m happy and festive while the husband hides unconscious in the bedroom because I seriously doubt he’s going to feel much better than he does tonight. I do not for the life of me understand the way my dad’s brain functions. We have all said let’s wait on this and yet he’s on the way regardless. In the last 10 years, I have come to despise the holiday season. There is nothing happy or fun about it, it’s stressful, rushed and a royal pain in the ass because I always feel like I’m not living up to someone else’s expectations. I didn’t even bother with a tree this year. None of us really thought about it. The kid has no interest in helping to put it up, the cats climb in them and I end up pulling it down the day after anyway. I’m sure I’m going to get a lecture Sunday about the fact that I have no decorations up at all.

I don’t think one bottle is going to cut it this weekend.
