| | Well, it's a new year. It doesn't seem quite so monumental, now that I'm out of school (and have been for two years), and therefore don't need to remember the new date each time I turn in homework... now the only time I have to remember the date is when I'm writing receipts for my students.
I caved in and got a World of Warcraft account almost a month ago. With SIL and BIL here, and hubby playing with them all the time, I got kinda tired of being left out. But the good news is that, while I am already addicted, it isn't like I have to be playing 25/7 (yes, twenty-*five*/seven). Not that I *could*, what with two jobs and housecleaning, but you get the picture. I worked most of the Holidays, including New Years Eve and Day, but most of my lessons were canceled, due to the music store doing inventory and kicking everyone out for those days. So I got to spend lots of time with the in-laws and the nephew and on WOW. Which is a really fun game, btw.
Heh. It was so cute watching my nevvie play with his presents. He's not quite old enough to grasp the concept of ripping off wrapping paper, but once the toys were out, Oh! he had fun!
Hubby and I got a miniature retro-style theatre popcorn popper. You know, the kind that they have at the movies and concession stands? Except tiny. Really tiny. But cute! It doesn't pop quite enough if you just make one pot, but it does a fairly good job. I don't see me giving up my stove-popped popcorn prowess anytime soon, but it was a neat gift, and Hubby likes it. I also FINALLY got crockpot! A really, really nice one with three bowl sizes. I am happy about this, though I have yet to actually use it.
SIL and BIL are going to let us "borrow" their washer and dryer, so that they can come over to our house to do laundry instead of going to the laundromat. This is both good and bad, as far as I'm concerned... I have a feeling I'm going to miss being able to take two and a half hours out of my day and getting four to six loads of laundry DONE- as in washed, dried, and folded (it takes me a while to actually put it away). Also, it will mean keeping my house in better order, seeing as how I'll never know when they're coming. Which is good, and maybe it'll become habit by the time they save enough to move into an apartment of their own.
Changes, changes... seems like they're everywhere nowadays... Not a bad thing, just something to think about. |
