All chaotic and twirly

Thoughts whilst loading EQII tonight after about a month-long absence:
New loading bar… I’m already afraid…
New art… uh oh…
Whew! Something familar…
The toons look okay… let’s load one… umm… Lynnie… (my main toon)
Entering guild hall…
And I’m face to face with a cute blue dragon plushie. Woot!
Yesterday was the annual holiday party of MB’s godparents. We didn’t go last year 1) because the weather was shitty, and 2) because we weren’t exactly invited. MB decided he’d rather go to Artie’s this year, which his mom and I aren’t exactly turning cartwheels over. I had a good time at any rate. The godparents alway have a Chinese auction, and this year I came away with a huuuuuuuuuge bottle of Arbor Mist tropical fruit zin for me and a bottle of Irish Mist for MB. I got home a little after 7 and have had three cups of the zin. I had to force myself to stop, it’s yummy!
Seven more classes and then I am D-O-N-E, stick a fork in me, done! Three more for the M/W section (3), plus two more for the Wednesday section (5), plus two for the Friday section (7). Amen! Then I can be as lazy as I want to — ha!
Okay, that’s all I have. We’re still on holiday hours at the Ridiculously Expensive Gift Shop and, even though I technically wasn’t on the schedule today, I worked 10-7. Bah! I’m ready to fall over, though I think the tasty zin is helping just a little. Night!
Winter’s early

Overnight, we got slammed with snow. Okay, so maybe I’m being a little overdramatic (surprised?), but we averaged about 7 inches. And, as per usual, just about every school around was either closed on on delay today… except mine. Since I didn’t have the oomph to unbury my car and limp toward campus, I called in. Ha! First time in three years I’ve done that. I couldn’t justify driving in shitty weather, especially after watching traffic cameras on the news all morning show cars in the ditch. MB called in too, so we had a lazy day. Hell, I never even got out of my jammies.
Of course, I did diddly squat. Well, okay, so I worked a little on next semester’s stuff, and in a little bit I’ll work on this semester’s stuff. I also made a pretty decent marinated chicken stir fry and made brownies from scratch. Still didn’t do dishes, and now we have our own Leaning Tower. I attempted to wrap some of MB’s presents while he was out for a bit, and only got two small ones done — they went instantly to his stocking. The rest are sitting in Wally World bags here in the office in plain temptation. I need to do that tomorrow.
I had a minor freak out earlier. I left the blog open in a window and MB started to read. I don’t write anything here that I’m particularly ashamed for him to know, but I bugged out anyway. It goes back to my paranoia of when I lived with my parents and Mom finding out about it. MB doesn’t care, he was just curious. I feel horrible that I bugged out like that for no reason. Gah!
BroCuz3 texted me tonight to tell me SisterCuz1 is going to make me an aunt… again. For those playing along at home, that makes 8 for me. She’s due in June, which — and this is totally selfish of me, I know — is cutting it awfully close to the wedding, eh? I’ve been mulling it over in my head for the last 2 hours or so and I keep waiting to get excited. I guess it’ll be different when I actually see SisterCuz1 and talk to her.
Short one tonight, I have stuff to do!
