One of my new pet hates around this miraculous date change is the ever growing trend of what I like to call 'A year in the life of...' status updates. The 'I've had a shit year... here's a really depressing list' pity party and the 'I'm going to rub in your face all the great things that happened to me that have happened to most human beings since the dawn of man. Rub, rub, rub!' status's that add to the extreme bore-fest that is NYE.
Rant over...
So this year the hubby and I decided to blow it all off, submit to becoming the boring old married couple that we will inevitably become and... stay at home. We're so cool and rebellious its unreal.
The hubby made me schmancy steak with some schmancy wine, (curtesy of his schmancy clients at his schmancy new job. Thank you rich people!) and discovered that pear liqueur is far more hardcore than it sounds. We also discovered the wonders of Drinkopoly.
Here are the rules we came up with:
- Drink every time you buy something
- Drink every time you land on someone else's property
- Drink every time you pass Go
- When you get a set down the rest of your drink
- and the best one ever as the hubby landed on it 4 times! Do a shot every time you land on Free Parking
I will now proceed to shuffle with lost, quite literally in my slippers, for the rest of the day. Happy New Year!... I have a date with a toilet.
