back on track!

TGI...shit it's only THURSDAY!?!?!

This week has been several levels of cray. Every day has been a special day. I think I'm going to lose my voice. Tuesday, I had preschool outreach then a meeting about early literacy where I talked too much, Wednesday I had another meeting about library technology in which I talked too much and then evening storytime and this morning (not my usual morning, I flipped) I had Toddler Time, with 43 children so I had to talk VERY LOUDLY. And now my throat feels raw. I'm sure the allergies are not helping but still.

OMG so hungry too. I was trying to have a serious conversation with my manager and my stomach kept RumBLing.

ANYWAY, let's just knock out today's question because I am too tired to do anything else!

faeriesfolly asked about my favorite Board Game(s). I don't really play that many board games anymore. When I was a kid, I loved Monopoly and Payday, but I find that games that involve finances are not very fun once you actually have to deal with finances IRL. LOL. I still do enjoy playing Sorry, which we've done a few times with Sylvia. Vincent and I used to LOVE Omega Virus, which was pretty high tech for a board game. Just thinking about it, I can taste the Fritos and bean dip...we spent whole summer days playing that silly game and snacking LOL. Oh to be a kid again. I have a weakness for Trivial Pursuit, but that usually devolves into us just reading the cards to find questions we think we might know.

Right now, when people come over, we tend to play party style games, like Cards Against Humanity. We recently purchased Say Anything and Dixit, which are super fun. Tim got a Ascension for his birthday, which is sorta like Magic: the Gathering except you don't have to spend time/money collecting cards, you start with a giant deck.

Next in gaming, we are going to try Dungeons and Dragons. I've never played a pen and paper RPG. We're actually meeting on Friday to create our characters. destertale is to blame for all this LOL.

I am super pumped for tomorrow night! :) And Ascension sounds fun! (Alex and I briefly got into Magic last year, and it was kinda cool.) We have to play it sometime! :D

We can totally break out Ascension tomorrow, I think you can have up to 4 players in a game. Tomorrow should be fun! just hope my voice is back by then!!

Yikes! Hoping you're drinking some hot tea or whatever might help with your voice.

I used to play Trivial Pursuit like that. For the most part my brother and I would lose most of the pieces so we just played it like a trivia game with the cards.

Hope you have fun with D & D.

I have many fond memories of playing D&D. I'm sure you'll have an excellent time especially with destertale there!

I was a massive board game enthusiast as a kid, I had the Disney edition of Sorry! that my friend and I played almost daily ^__^

Le us know how you find D&D, I've always been curious to try but haven't anyone to play with.

I know my family and I have had more than one evening when we just gave up and started reading the cards - mostly because the edition my parents' have is SO OLD that my brother and I didn't know ANY of the questions, so we started digging through the box to find ones we might know.

And it appears to have been a cold, so the tea felt good but I am sick :(

We did the character creation using the official D&D online program that my friend has a membership for. My brain was full of snot though (sore throat turned out to be the start of a cold boo!!!) so I just agreed to whatever looked good. But I rolled a gnome rogue because that is my go-to for fantasy games haha.
