msbelle, I do miss games with you (except for Balderdash, where we had gotten to the point that we could spot everyone's definition habits).
I was just telling people the other day how we mistakingly let you and your brother pair up for Taboo and how we were crushed because you could give clues like "What you gave grandma for Christmas last year" etc.
The sibling mind-meld in games like that is nearly unstoppable. My sister and I crushed at Pictionary, because she'd make a squibble, and I totally knew what she was thinking.
Edit: spousal mind-melds are much rarer, in my experience. Hence the argument between mr. flea and me about whether his supposed drawing of a ham actually looked more like a can of coke.

No one will let my brother and I be on the same Pictionary team. Ever.
I got that Pictionary mind-meld with my cousin one year, to everyone else's dismay.
Playing Catchphrase with my BiL and sister is like that.
Sister: Hottest branch of the military?
BiL: The Marines!
That one had us cracking up for HOURS.
Where's Polgara?

I really feel like a board game and crafting long weekend would be just this side of heaven.

So true.
I braved Joann's this morning to get bias tape for the apron. This is becoming a Big Project.
I have to go to Whole Foods for cat food. If I'm cheap and don't care about organic (and I am and I don't), is there anything else I should get there?
