GAME NIGHT:
Last Friday was game night. When I first started going to the singles ward in Bountiful I learned they hang out together frequently and do game night every once in a while. What better way to get to know a lot of people from the ward in a casual setting {Honestly, it's hard to make friends in Sunday school when you are supposed to be quiet}.
The best part of game night was the night before cleaning. James had wanted to hang out and I told him I would be cleaning up, getting ready, and doing some shopping. He offered to help. So he helped me get everything ready for a party I didn't invite him to! I am terrible but I didn't want him there.
So Clary and 4 other girls showed up right at 8 {thankfully} and I started making rootbeer floats, then more people came, then more and more. At one point I was near the front door and 5 or 6 people walked in that I had never seen before. "Do I know any of you?" "No, we're friends of Mary" they reply. "oh" I say nodding my head, mulling this over. "Who is Mary?" "She's friends with Connie". AH, now I see. "Well, come on in, please don't steal anything. Do you want a rootbeer float or some apple pie?"
We had skip-bo, scrabble, nertz, guillotine, tons of Uno, and Rockband going all night. Most people were gone by midnight but there were three hardcore Rockbanders left until 1am. That was some serious gaming. Overall I think it was a success. I just need to get my parents out of the house again so I can have another game night or a movie night.
DATE NIGHT:
A lady in my family ward set me up with her step-son. Tom (not Burger Boy Tom - a new one) is 36, divorced with 2 kids, and if we're going to be honest, a little crabby. Let me paint a picture for you. Picture this, Becka is so excited for a date she goes out a buys a new outfit from Banana Republic and Gap. She dons her new duds, applies the makeup, flat irons her hair, and puts on the sassy shoes. She opens the door and there's a midget on her front step.
Ok not a midget but he's short. Like barely 5'8" and in my sassy shoes with 3" heels I'm taller than him. To make it even funnier he has a HUGE truck {compensating for something eh?} which I have to get a running start to literally jump up into.
We have dinner at the parents house with another 12 couples from the ward and then we're off to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert with Natalie Cole. It was pretty good but he was dozing off through most of it. That's all I'm going to say. He dropped me off and that was that. But at least I got a new outfit from the date.

Is it safe to guess that there won't be a second date?
Uh yeah.
So I am catching up from the last months bolgs and I had to read through them twice and even read older blogs to keep track of all the boys. It is like reading a new book and you are trying to keep straight all the new characters.
I tried dating a short man (boy) once it just did not work for me either. But it is always nice to have an excuse to go shopping.
"come on in, please don't steal anything..." hehehe
If I ever have anyone to set you up with (fingers crossed)...I promise it won't be a crabby midget!
Game Night: Sounds like fun! And I bet your friends' friends' friends didn't steal one thing. ;)
Date Night: practice, practice, practice... And hey, Natalie Cole w/ the MoTab! Even if he was a dud, sounds like a nice night out!
Cracking me up as usual! My Husband said to tell you that I married a crabby midget and we are still going strong.. ;)
Too funny! At least you got a cute outfit out of it! :)
