Last night, I may have participated in the largest game of Catch Phrase in New York State history. I realize that is not the most exciting thing ever, but 13 girls versus 13 guys in any competitive event makes for laughs and intensity. Mother Nature forced the house party I was at inside and did not allow for the bonfire that I had so looked forward to. But, with an out of this world food spread and many different spirits, we made do. Bugles, the corn chip snack that my Grandma and Grandpa always had, were a hit. My past snack history was in full effect with Combos and the new favorite, chocolate covered pretzels. You can’t buy these particular ones in the store yet, but we’re working on the chef to market them.

It was nice to have my sister with me too. My BIL was lucky enough to be at the Notre Dame game in South Bend, IN for the weekend. As a sports fan, what an experience that must’ve been. She and I went out to dinner and hit the party. I love the fact that my sister is my friend too. The bonfire didn’t happen, but it doesn’t matter if it’s raining out or a perfect night, it is always fun to go to a place where you can feel like you can be yourself.

And we left the Catch Phrase battle in a tie.

Time for football…
