Geeking New Year

I'm not a holiday person. For the last few New Year Eve's I've managed to fall asleep early in the night then wake up just before/after the ball dropped. Not much of a big deal for us.

This year we were invited to a party at our neighbors house. I'm sure it was a blast of a party, but again Holiday Parties are usually on our avoidance list. 

We were invited to hang out and do nothing with our best friends as well. Our plan was to hang out and do nothing on our own, so this had a likely chance of being the perfect fit for us.

We were also invited to a classy dinner party with my brother, complete with prime rib. I have to admit, I was Jones-ing to go to this party and partake in that meal, but Cliff was already occupied with some of his friends when we got the invite. 

A few weeks ago, Cliff was invited to 'game' with his buddies and he's been pretty set on sticking to that idea. This morning I woke up feeling terrible so I slept off my cold while while Cliff went to the gaming event solo. He convinced  me to join him in the evening , it was just down the street and dinner with my brother wasn't on his agenda. We brought in the new year geeking out with his friends (great people) playing D&D 3.5. Very geeky, but for us it worked.
