Urban Poly Princess

I went to bed at around 5am AFTER eating Taco soup and playing games at Jonni's house. It was nice. Maragret Oak is hilarious. She was killing me last night. She could've made me cry I was laughing so hard. It was a ladies game night and it was fun to spend some time with some of the women from my ward which is why I went even when I probably shouldn't have. I'm STILL working on pounding out these papers. I just felt it was more important for me to spend time with my ward members since I've never really done that before. The games are fun it just reminds me of Christmas and my cousin who'd always play games and helped me to enjoy them too. For some reason I associate board games with Christmas. Before my brother and I could drive we'd have these looong monopoly marathon games with some of the neighbors too. Once we drove the games went away. My cousin's house full of students where she lived when she attended BYU-Hawaii did games every Sunday but they were games that involved the entire house and groups of maybe 20. I guess Tina Moleni's house in SLC did games on Sundays too. I went exactly once and didn't enjoy the dynamic going on there. My ward now has a VERY strong game affinity. It's just kind of weird. I guess I've always done the let's see a movie, concert, show OR go dancing. I've never gathered for games before. It's fun but definitely NOT what I thought I'd be doing with my extra time. I got a text from one of my visiting teachers about game night at her house Friday. This crowd I'm sure will be different too. One definite plus is it doesn't cost any money. I just REALLY miss dancing with GOOD music. I don't expect I'll be doing that anytime soon unless I throw my own dance and hire my own DJ. Country-dancing is very popular here and I did buy my cowboy hat just so I can wear it somewhere here and take pictures. I could probably do it for a night but I hate country music and I might seriously die if listen to more than a couple songs.
