Spring Game Night

If you've been hanging out here very long, you know that a couple of times each year, I get together with some friends from high school for game night. I can't even remember now how many years we've been doing this. Five, maybe?

If you know me very well, you're probably also saying "But Bekah, don't you hate games?" Yes, yes I do.

Sort of.

I'm just not very good at games, so I rarely (I do mean RARELY) win. I've become okay with that...and I just play to have fun. In fact, my successes are counted more in things like this:

I won a round of Scattergories. Not the whole game...but just one measly little roll-of-the-letter-dice section of it. But I made them take my picture because you just don't know when that sort of luck might roll around again!
My game buddies are blog anonymous, so I can't post pictures, but we did have a great evening. We started out with dinner...I made crock pot pizza and they all pitched in yummy treats on the side. Oh! And I made orange julius too. (Orange juliuses? Orange juli-i? Not sure how you're supposed to make that plural...)

We played word games all night, and you'd think I'd do really well with that, but I tend to freeze up and get certain words stuck in my head, leaving me unable to think of others. Maddening, really.
Actually, Phats won almost every round of everything. We started off with a game called Smart Mouth and he won both rounds we played. (Imagine THAT.) We moved from that to The Last Word. Phats won the first round and then Heather beat him on the second round. I believe that was when he suggested Scattergories.

We always play Dutch Blitz, but we didn't get to it this time, which means...

I still have my coupon for a five minute head start on a game. Yes. I'm that bad. So bad, in fact, that I will use this and still lose (significantly).


But I did have fun.
