New House: 2/5

Dear QotD?ers,
.
Sometimes, I'll take the outfit I wore to church on Sunday and wear it again to work on Monday (I only wore it for 2 hours, so it's ok). Despite this being unusual attire for me, no one mentioned the skirt. So I'm going to do it again tomorrow, with another skirt, to see if someone mentions it.
.
Also, I was very hungry today. I figured it was from all the hard labor this weekend and all the stress encountered during today's very busy workday.
.
Now that I have all these great gifts (thank you again),
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
What sort of house-warming themed party could we play?
.
I know what I want to play ;D
.
Love,
The Asker

You could develop a "Clue" game with the rooms in your house.
Colors and weapons would be fun!
As in........it was Justin, in the kitchen with a potatoe peeler or
Kristen, in the bathroom with
loofah sponge......
Gameboard would be your house plan.
Ooooooooooh, are there secret passages?

My favorite game is "Where did we pack the dishes?" When we got into this house, I managed to find a pot, two bowls, and some serving tongs on the first night. Thankfully we had chopsticks so we could eat ramen noodles. You can also play "Where did we pack the toilet paper?" and many other versions. Just keep changing what you need to find, and pretty soon you've unpacked the whole house!

I love the "Clue" idea. I do not believe I could come up with a game more creative with that, so I'm going with kathleen's idea.

I thought that a treasure hunt might be fun, but that would really be what the Minears described.

So my new choice is to have a Czech house warming party. Get out your polka cds, get the cabbage and potatoes ready, and everyone can bring ...a fish?

What's Justin heritage? Anything fun there?

let's play TABOO!

I like the CLUE idea, too.

I've never actually been to a house warming, so I don't know what sorts of things traditionally happen there! I like the idea of a treasure hunt!

hmmm.. I've never played a house warming themed game. So I'm just going to say we all sit down for a round of Settler's of Catan.

Laser tag would be awesome since it gets DARK with the lights out, and there's nothing in it but walls right now.

I would so play Clue: Asker Edition!

My heritage is Texan. Yee-haw!

Mother of Three, Anne said...

Texan is a heritage??

Over the 4th, we went to a party at some of Bob's friends. As we drove up, Jessica rather gasped and said, "That man doesn't have a shirt on!" Bob told her, "Welcome to your first redneck party!! Yee Haw!"

Is that the same yee haw?

Jacob and I played Spot The Guy With No Shirt, Tattoos, and Swim Trunks on that is Really Drunk. You'd think there was a winner everytime, but niether of us could guess the right guy!!

Is that the same yee haw??

groovysabrina said...

haha, Anne, if you were here, you'd play the opposite game: Spot the guy with his shirt ON.

Mother of Three, Anne said...

GroovySabrina,

You should just assume that most of my commentary is in a sarcastic tone.

The reason I could not win the game is that ALL of the guys were shirtless, tattooed, in swimtrunks and inebriated. I never could guess the exact guy Jake was describing. I kept asking if I was at a Nascar racetrack, to which Bob just laughed and said, "You wish! Now that is some good, wholesome fun!!"

Even so, GroovySabrina, I think that the shirtlessness of your beaches is balanced out by the babes in bikinis.

This party did have women in bikinis, but you would have wished that that were not the case. Poor Jessica! She kept looking at me and asking, "Should that woman be wearing that? Is that appropriate for public" (The answer was it was not appropriate for ANYWHERE, but some lessons are easy to understand.)

I have a whole new perspective on the twenty pounds that I carry as a testament to middle-age. Still not so proud as to wear a bikini, though.

Angel-A, thank goodness we don't have to search for the toilet paper, but we'll probably play that game for many other things
