JZ (and y'all might not know this about her) is very competitive and if it weren't for the mollifying effect of Matilda, I fear she might've stomped around and cursed. But she did not.
JZ is me, without the cutie baby to mollify me. I absolutely hate to lose and seriously have to curb my cut throat competitiveness when playing Trivial Pursuit with the not!in-laws.
sj, I'm sorry you're in so much pain.
Thanks, Kristin. The nighttime pain hasn't been bad enough to actually keep me awake in a while, so I am counting myself lucky.
hi thread
I hope you had a restful painless sleep sj.
The boys got a spongeBob monopoly for Christmas. It will take a lot to get me in a game. DH and Brendon are fiercely serious about these things while Bobby and I are try to keep the peace and have fun players. It never ends well. I love board games, but don't have the competitive thing going on.
Must get some of the list done today.
Timelies, everyone.
Got back from Italy last night. Will have stories later. Right now, waiting for coffee. I will miss Italian coffee.
Welcome back, Hil!
I made a list. I can take a break now, right?
My family was huge into Risk. The competitive streak was strong. You'd have thought control of the real world was at stake. I sort of miss board games.
Welcome back, Hil!
sj, I hope you were able to get some rest last night and the pain is better.
We weren't allowed to play Risk because my mother got so upset at how vicious we'd all get.
I still love board games. Not so much Risk, which never really struck me as that well-balanced (though the special missions help), but I have a closet full of board games. Oddly enough, not Monopoly. Wallybee likes playing some of them too. The current favourite is called National Geographic's Expedition. It does not hurt that one of the destinations has penguins.
I love a lot of board games. Clue can still turn stoic teens into gigglyheads. My favorite times around the table growing up were card games. I need to make another effort to get the boys to play cards with us. Yahtzee is a good time too.
Going through the stacks of junk on top of surfaces in my bedroom. Ick. DH is the worst about dumping out the pockets. Coins, receipts, tools, papers, disks, chewed up straws. I'm a woman with a mission. A place for everything and everything in its place. Yeah, I know, never gonna happen.
