As always, we went down to Zach and Sarah's for their New Year's Eve party. Kevin and I ended up heading down pretty early in the hopes that it would be easier to find a parking space. This worked perfectly, as we found a spot right by their building. Jen and Steve arrived before too long, and we ate delicious enchiladas and exchanged presents before the rest of the guests arrived.
New Year's Eve is a time for drinking games. Specifically, it's the one time a year we play something called Rage Cage. Mostly because it takes a whole year to work back up to this game. There's a lot of beer involved. It's also a fairly lopsided game, meaning that one or two people bear the brunt of the drinking, while the rest have to make it up with some beer pong afterwards.
I had spent most of the day napping and taking it easy in the hopes that I would actually be awake at midnight this year (I fell asleep at 11:59 last year). My strategy worked, because I was actually the last one awake this year. I was very proud of myself for that.
We spent the entire next day drinking mimosas and playing the Game of Thrones board game. It took about five hours to play Game of Thrones, though an hour and a half of that was just reading the rules. Hopefully it won't take as long next time. Assuming there is a next time.

| How we spent New Year's Day |
We did get out of the house a few times, to take my car into the shop and pick it back up the next day. And I went out to buy the next few Wheel of Time books. But mostly we just hibernated in pjs and blankets. And now I feel ready for whatever 2015 brings. Hopefully it's mostly good stuff, like 2014.
