Game Night

So last night, since Jenny and Nathan are here and Nathan was leaving today, we decided to have a little game night at our house. Keith and Kathy and Sally came over to play games with Jenny, Nathan, Mary and I. After Keith and Kathy left, we decided to play Scattergories. There's just something about this game that brings out some pretty funny answers:

Category: ice cream flavor. Letter: F.
Mary's Answer: Fruiti Tutti. She thought she was so clever, too bad its the other way around.

Category: halloween costumes. Letter: S.
You'd thing Skeleton, Skarecrow, Snake, Satan, about a 1/2 dozen other answers, but at the last second, Nathan decides to write down: slut. Apparently, at the last minute, Nathan's mind gets dirty.

Category: Musicians. Letter: G.
Sally didn't actually write this, but in the discussion after the round we were talking about this one and she asked, "What about those guys, Garfile and Funkfiler?". We didn't really realize who she meant, until I realized she was talking about Simon and Garfunkel. We all had a pretty good laugh.

Category: Terms of Affection. Letter: A.
I was particularly proud of my answer Angel for this one, but I was sure Nathan was going to answer the same since we had already answered the same on so many others. But when it got around to Nathan, he explained that this was also a last minute answer, and the best answer of the night. Ass Hole.

While You Were Out

So, I've told Mary many stories about the strange things about my family, and I've tried to warn her, but I'm not sure that she ever takes me seriously. I try to warn her that at all extended family functions, we all tend to gather in the corner and talk amongst ourselves rather than mingle with our cousins. Or that my mom does some pretty amazing things to save a few pennies, closes the closet doors so you don't have to A/C the air in the closets, or saving old jam jars to use a glasses. No matter what it is, I'm not really sure that Mary ever takes me seriously.


Well, this weekend we went to Kentucky to visit Mary's sister, as I'm sure you know from this. Anyways, we had my dad drop us off at the airport, but before we left, my mom asked is she could go over to our house and try out or recumbant exercise bike. Since we turned up the air to like 90 while we were gone, I told her that she would need to go over and turn the air down so she doesn't roast in there. When we got back, she mentioned that she did if a couple times and that she sort of liked it. Mary and I go home and start to unpack and put things away, etc... all the sudden, Mary stops and asks me, "Why are all of our closets closed?". You see, most of the time, the closet in the study/den stays open since thats where all of our supplies are; paper, stamps, etc. Same with the bedroom closet. I think about it, and it dawns on me... finally, I have proof. My mom went through our house and closed all the closets so that when she turned the air down to 80 while she worked out, we wouldn't have to pay to cool the air from the closets. I'm not sure if this is funny to anyone else but me, but I think its hilarious.
