I had an idea.A sort of getting-to-know-you idea.And then I thought it might make a really awesome Christmas present.And then I thought maybe I would take it out for a test run. And because I'm actually LOSING SLEEP over this, I decided I'd just go ahead and blog about it and see if you will play with me. (thanks for indulging me. ...
Games
Bilingual brain fart
I like to own movies that I know I'll watch over and over. We have quite the extensive video/dvd library. Seriously, how else could we play the Kevin Bacon Game?? ;-)And as you already know, I'm really easily entertained. So, I'm cruising through Target the other day and I found this dvd on sale:Disney does ...
How an arcade game can double as a personality test or WARNING: Perfectionism can strike at any moment!
Our good friends, Gene and Pam were visiting this week, so of course we met them at Disneyland. ;-) My entire goal for this trip, besides spending precious time with my BFF, was to experience Toy Story Mania, the newest attraction at Disney's California Adventure Park. So, I call my niece:"Helen, I'm going to meet Gene and Pam at ...
Masquerade!
(Can you guess tonight's movie?) THE original suggestion was a simple one. PerHaps we can have AN end-of-summer barbecue for our residenT yOung thespians. They're here every Friday anyway. Maybe we can watch a Movie, too. Ah, but you know what can happen to the best laid plans OF mice and men... There was festive ...
Grounded
I'm grounded on Fridays. It's not really a bad thing. I just like that it sounds dramatic. =D It's not that I've done anything wrong or that I'm being punished in any way. It's just that on Fridays we have a group of young people in our home. That's right. Our house. Every Friday. This started well over a year ...
PSYCH-out
My darling blog-friend, Chantel has tapped me for the following meme:Choose a favorite book or movie or television program (wait! Stop right there..... I have too many favorite books and movies and I only watch tv when someone I know and love and trust recommends something that I then have to go out and rent because we don't get any channels ...
Finding Nemo (and everything else, too.)
It's not like I don't already have enough projects going on in my life. But this one I couldn't resist. If you're the holder of a Disneyland Passport (which we are) this will be as familiar a sight to you as it is to us.Most of our friends are also passholders and Lovers of All Things Disney.So last week Helen (my niece) calls me: "It's ...
There’s nothing like a lunatic to brighten up your day
The game is called Squint and it involves creating and manually animating those tiles with the squiggles to get the other players to guess your object. I had a medical procedure the other day and I'm sooo not going into detail about what or why, but let me just tell you that it involved sedative-type drugs.I came home from the hospital a ...
The category is “Andy Garcia”
Have I mentioned how we are serious game players? Serious. We love any kind of game, really, but trivia games are our special favorites. Lucy got a fabulous Electronic Catch Phrase game for Christmas and we've already chewed through a pair of double-A's. Serious. We have a family reputation as serious game players, too. And a lot of the time ...
Cheaters never prosper.
I'm so obedient. My friend, Nora, posted about her love for Scrabble which gave me an idea for our family game night. The snack, BTW, was my pastelitos de guayaba. ;-) So we got kind of psyched about our Scrabble game, and we pulled out the dusty old board. (Hey, it's actually pretty nice. Who knew?) Somewhere along the line we picked up ...
