I Was a Millionaire Hairdresser Living In A Mobile Home Tonight

February 22, 2011 by

Tonight the whole family played The Game of Life.  Recently Sabreena, Shaun and Shae have been playing and tonight Melinda and I joined in on the fun.

I haven’t played Life in probably 20 years and had forgotten how many rules were involved.  Thank goodness Sabreena and Shaun knew the rules and helped us along.  I hope they didn’t trick me and Melinda. LOL.   Tonight Shae lasted about four turns before she bailed and watched cartoons.   Before she bailed she did get married and the funny thing is she put her husband in the very back row of the car and kept saying “Yeah I got married and I put my husband in the back seat.”  That is her green car below and the blue stick is her husband in the very back seat.

I started the game as a police officer but lost my job and became a hairdresser.  I lived in a mobile home and at one point had the most money in the game.  I was a millionaire hairdresser living in a mobile home and for the first time in my life felt good.

I finished the game last with 1.4 million dollars as I was plaque with lawsuits and a few other crazy expenses.  Sabreena finished first with about 1.9 million followed by Shaun then Melinda.  So for a brief moment I was flying high but in the end finished dead last.  Melinda said it was because I was the only one who didn’t go to college and started a career instead.

So tonight for a little while we put our real lives on hold to play the Game of Life which was a lot of fun.




Cranium Game Scribblish

October 26, 2010 by

You’re never too old to play games! Hasbro has just introduced a new Cranium game; Scribblish, just in time for the holidays.

Grab your pencils and get ready to giggle. Cranium Scribblish is a hilarious new game that’s like a cool mashup of the old schoolyard favorite, “The Telephone Game” and Pictionary. Simple, outrageous, and a ton of fun. Everyone chooses a caption and draws a picture. You all then take turns adding drawings or captions. At the end can you guess which picture was yours when you started? Which one is funniest? Vote for your favorite to win!

CRANIUM SCRIBBLISH includes:

  • Six scrolls, 60 cards, timer, pad, die, tokens and instructions.
  • Includes 2 “cell” batteries.
  • Game play approx 20 minutes
  • For 4-6 players
  • Ages 8 and up.

Shaun isn’t a very good drawer so this wouldn’t be a good game for him but I’m sure my brother and sister in-law would love it. And since it’s a Cranium game you know it’s guaranteed to be fun and appropriate for the entire family.
