Mr. Chickpea has decided to quit WoW...well, he's stopped raiding for the time being.  So, now I gotta get used to having him around for dinner again...heh.  I'm not complaining!  It's good to have dinner together again...chit chat about happenings during the day, etc.  But I had gotten used to reading or working on a Sudoku puzzle while having my dinner...so, yeah, I wonder if he'd mind if I continued to just do that during dinner? Heh.

Today was a day held in much anticipation by Mr. Chickpea.  Was it his birthday?  No.  Was it meatloaf night?  No.  Was it the start of another season of American Idol?  No.  Today...drumroll, please...was the release day for the WoW expansion set!  Oh. My. God.  He spent much of the night before planning how, when and where he would go buy it since he had to work today.  For those not in the know, WoW stands for World of Warcraft.  For me, WoW stands for weeks of widowhood.  Sob, sob.  All right, sometimes it's not so bad.  I like having time to myself to pursue my own interests.  And we even have both of our computers in the same room, so there is time spent together, just not really together, together.  That's fine...for the most part.  I suppose I could join him in the game, but it's just not my kind of thing really.  And I absolutely refuse to have our real lives dictated by his WoW life...well, my life anyway.  I've been a bit more lenient with that lately even though I'm not crazy about it.

At least I had some decent face time this past weekend with Mr. Chickpea.  He finally got me a belated birthday present.  He even agreed to go shopping with me...although I think I would rather go shopping on my own...heh.  I don't like to have someone waiting for me if I need to try something on and I know Mr. Chickpea DOES NOT like having to hold my purse...haha.  Plus, I don't really need him knowing how much I spend on shopping for myself...know what I mean?  Heh.  Still, it was nice of him to acknowledge that he wanted to spend some quality time with me before he goes off to be with his evil mistress!
