a mélange

Here is the sexy Matt Damon doing an impression of the sexy Matt McConaughey that made me laugh out loud. Thank you Andrea for sending this to me first thing in the morning!



Gabrielle wanted to know what reindeer games we played during the holidays. Well, we’re a pretty big board game family. When the kids were younger, we made sure we had “game night” at least once a week. We’ve fallen out of the habit, but I hope we pick it back up again.

Some of our favorites are:

Phase 10 (This is a card game that we love. However, it made it onto the “banned” list for a while because my children are just a wee bit competitive and things became ugly. You see, in this game, you can skip whoever you want to, so imagine how much fun it is to ALWAYS skip your brother…now imagine being that brother. LOL)
Cranium (I SUCK at the humming part. I get so damned tickled I start laughing. Never ask me to be the hummer. And please, get your mind out of the gutter. This is a G rated family blog, thankyouverymuch.)
Sequence
Trivial Pursuit (I am SOOOO angling for TP 80s edition–but I’m afraid the master of all useless knowledge will still kick my ass.)
Scrabble
Yahtzee

These are just a few of the games we play most often.

Now, onto some really good news:

I FINALLY HAVE TIVO! Yes, that’s right…I am now a member of the current century. I had so much fun last night watching Sportscenter. Every time they showed the Boise State winning play highlights I would pause it and watch it in slow mo. Rewind, watch it again. OMG. How awesome is that?

Then I recorded my first show and I’m going to watch it today! YAY ME! And it’s a show I wanted to see but knew I’d never get to cuz it’s on FX! Have y’all see the previews for Dirt? it’s looks pretty interesting.

What’s going on in your world today?

  1. I watched Dirt last night. I thought it was really good. It had quite a few sex scenes that were pretty graphic, so I recommend only mature audiences. I love the photographer…can’t wait to see what you think!

  2. You will LOVE TIVO!! We’ve had it for a couple of years now, and when we had a recent horrible wind storm here with a 21-hour power outage, I nearly freaked out…not because the power outage cost me an entire fridge full of food, but because when it came back on the TIVO wouldn’t power up! Thankfully, something was just screwy, and it came up a little while later, but it was pretty dicey there for a while whether I would be able to make it through another day. 🙂

  4. I love that clip!

    I saw it a few days ago – showed it to my husband – but he didn’t think it was funny at all.

    Glad you had fun with games!

  5. Oh my gosh I finally found you again. For the longest time I couldn’t see your blog! Lousy blogger.

    TiVo is the best thing EVER!!! You will love your TiVo. And you’ll wonder how you ever lived w/out it.

    However, at least now the internet is up and running, so I can harass you again!
