Exciting news people!

No it isn’t about the doctor. I’m hoping to hear that call soon. Like tomorrow or guess who I’ll be calling Friday?

The news is a few things. The first is the Facebook page is only FOUR likes away from 100! When we hit that magic 100 I will be doing another giveaway! So encourage your friends to take a look and like. Thank you in advance.

The other has to do with a new writing gig. This gig will be reviewing all types of games for Engaged Family Gaming. The site is run by a friend of friends who had an idea to share a means of gaming with the internet. Here you may find game reviews for board games, video games and the like. But you might also find parents asking for advice through gaming. Basically the site is all about how to engage your family in gaming.

I know what you might be thinking… “you don’t have kids”. This is true, but I have the Niece and friends who have kids. Plus I must tell you I am not a Gran Theft Auto gamer girl. I much prefer Lego Harry Potter or Lego anything for the PS3. I’m just not a blood and guts gamer. However, L. A. Noir is FUN! Plus if there’s a board game about something I’ll play it. Sometimes it takes a little prodding. But eventually I’ll play. 

So not only will I be getting to review all types of games. But I might find a few I can play with the Niece. Generally she’ll play anything she can play with us. However, she still doesn’t grasp the concept of co-op play. Which might be an article to work on. So I invite you to check out Engaged Family Gaming. Who knows you just might learn something to share with the young people in your life.

Plus I might have an excuse to load up this bad boy with some fun games. (I owe you a post on this)

It’s TOTALLY like Parcheesi {You know, but not}

I was having a chat with a gal on Twitter this morning about being home and naked. Mind you she mentioned it was a stay at home and be naked day, not me. Because every and I do mean EVERY time the hubbins and I have tried this (and I mean just wandering the house naked no sexy times) someone has turned up at the door. Isn’t this why people have cell phones, to call before just dropping over? Apparently not.

But this got me to thinking about other times you might you know what to be naked (aka sexy times). Which somehow took me back to my days in college. Random I know, but allow me to explain. Whenever one of my friends would have a boyfriend over we’d always say they were “playing Parcheesi” as a valid reason why they weren’t with the rest of us hanging out. Because when we were 17/18 years old sex and Parcheesi were two difficult things for us to master. For the record I STILL don’t know how to play Parcheesi. The other thing, I’ve figured it out, thanks.

Seriously, how the hell do you play this game??

So anyway…let’s just say my hubbins and I were attempting a game o’Parcheesi when the door bell rang two weeks ago. And we MIGHT have been right by the front door. We both were looking like deer in the headlights. I mean it could have been anyone. Anyone turned out to be a high school kid selling newspaper subscriptions in order to win a scholarship. How do I know you ask? Because like a couple of teenagers we made ourselves presentable and ANSWERED THE DOOR. It seemed like the polite thing to do. And yes we signed up for the newspaper. Which I might add still hasn’t turned up! So if this was an elaborate way to earn monies off people, kudos to you kid.

For the record this one I get.

I have no idea why I told all you strange people this. Probably because my hubbins bet me  I would in no way do it. Well, jokes on him isn’t it? Or is it? Oh well, happy Sunday or Monday depending on where you are in the world.
