Saved In The Last Week
Since my wife and I are getting our own business off of the ground, while at the same time raising a pair or wonderful, but horrifically expensive babies, we’ve discovered that we need to cut back on certain non-essential spending. This means we don’t go to the movies when we can stream Netflix, we don’t eat out when we can cook. It means I don’t get a new WH40K army no matter how awesome the models are. And we don’t spend money on the new World of Warcraft expansion.
Which as many of you are no doubt highly aware, comes out next week. Well for the holidays one of my relatives gave me a gift certificate to a video game store. The amount was far more than I need to pre-order Cataclysm. When I pointed this out to my spouse, she responded that this meant that I would have a copy of Cataclysm, and she would not. Which has the potential to degenerate into what you and I might refer to “Marital Strife.” Or what my wife referred to as “A twisted nightmare realm of fear, pain, and torn mangled flesh from which you will never awaken.”
I pointed out that we could probably just spend a little bit of extra money and get two copies, and hopefully avoid the whole “nightmare of mangled flesh” thing, and she agreed that it seemed like a good idea.

Had two roomies in Iraq who played WoW. Constantly. One of them actually BROUGHT his PC, so that they could have the whole damned set up. (That’s right. He didn’t have the effing thing shipped to him. No. It was PACKED in his footlocker.) It lead to some disturbing things. I’ll not go into it. I still have nightmares.

My hubby plays WoW, my daughter likes to sit on his lap when he’s playing. “That’s Daddy” “Daddy is flying a dragon” “That’s a bad!” (her term for anything he is fighting. She always gets really excited when there’s any sort of explosion. I play lotro which she likes because, “mommy rides horsie!”
