About 5 days ago, our bulb in our flat screen TV went out and we had to order a new one. That's fine and dandy, but we are realizing that we watch WAY too much TV! It's not like we sit down in front if it all of the time, but we watch the news and our weekly rituals (Grey's - in season, Axmen, Ice Road Truckers, Deadliest Catch - and my favorite HGTV) - it's our time when we relax and talk with each other, and a lot of times the TV serves as background noise - not always, but sometimes...
The first day, we felt out of place - I mean what were we to do with no TV? We have one in our bedroom, but that's lame to go in there at 5 p.m. and stay for the remainder of the night - so we have made EVERY NIGHT....GAME NIGHT!
I have dominated in 4 games of Phase 10 and 2 games of LIFE. I forgot how much I love that game!
It's even better now that we are older and we actually understand that life can throw you curve balls - or broken $200 TV bulbs...it's just too bad that we don't go through the "real life" by eventually ending up at milllionaire mansion, turning over our life cards and end up winning $655,000! ha!
So, now that we've been without for a while, I hope we continue to make time to dive into fun board games. It's one thing to have found your soul mate, but it feels like quite the total package when you've found the BEST board game competitor ever!!
Hope you all enjoy your weekend...
