It all started after we came back from our fantastic trip to New Mexico, end of last year. We visited with my sister in law and her husband. One afternoon, when we were there, they brought the cards for us all to play, and we had too much fun!
If anyone is to blame for our new addiction to cards, they are!
As soon as we got home, we went to the "Glorious" Walmart, and bought a set of Skip-Bo cards.
You may roll on the floor laughing. I don't mind at all.
We play "Skip-Bo" every afternoon. So there.
Game time starts around three o'clock, just after Gordon finishes measuring his blood glucose level. As he says: "Before I start "Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na" ", reminding him to do measure it.
He is the one in charge of shuffling. He does it like a pro, two little amounts, one in each hand, and "praaaaaap" - they are flipped together in one single pile.
When I do it, I don't do the fancy way, therefore I "mix" them, instead. I spread them all over the table, face up or face down and, using both hands, mix them in a circular motion. Gordon does not like it.
That does not cause a fight. Never did. He shuffles, deals and we start playing.
Every time he wins, he stretches his arms up and starts the "Toilet Man Victory Pose" showing off his muscles, and making funny faces.
When I win, it is then my turn to do the "Toilet Woman Dance and Butt Shaking" around the kitchen floor.
But we play different from the way we were taught. We help each other.
- No! No! No! Don't put that card there! Take a look at your pile!
- Hold it! I have a two, so don't waste your Skip-Bo!
When one cannot find a chance to play at all, the other will provide a "present", with the proper card left open.
- There, a present for you. Quit pouting!
- Thank you. I may give you one in return.
- You better!
But I have a last weapon which is used when I am about to lose. It is called: "Confuse Husband and Make Him Lose Concentration". It works!
I lift my blouse and expose my bare boobs!! For a long time! Just like that!
And I see his beautiful blue eyes go a little crossed, as he starts to drop cards, and breathe heavy.
Live and learn, ladies!
Love ya!

you can't make this shit up, you should write a book!!!!

We like playing cribbage and gin rummy. We used to spend a lot of rainy days and evenings playing, but now, when he's home and not working on a project - he watches the bleep tv and can't hear anything but it.
Good diversion, the boob bit!
I haven't played Skip Bo in years and now see what I've been missing!!!
oh girly, this is too much fun!!! :)
Oh My God !!! I thought you were going to show us your Boobies !!!
I hate games / card games etc - sorry, but I'm still fun I hope !
My hubs doesn't like to play board or card games. Not sure why. Must have a bad memory of a poker game gone awry.
However, if I explained the way you two play, he might want to start. ;)
So now I know HOW to win at Scrabble! This was a very funny post for me - a first time visitor to your blog.
This is too funny. And what makes it even funnier, is last week I bought a pack of Skip Bo cards! I have a very fond memory of playing with some friends at their cabin one summer (although there were no boob flashes involved) and thought it might divert Kim from her constant wish to play chess (which I can't stand). Little did I know there are even more diversionary tactics than mere Skip Bo - there are boob flashes! I'll let you know how it goes!
I guess I could try that with my cat, but I don't think she'll be to impressed. She doesn't like to play cards anyway.
You are to funny!!! Love it!
I did that in the Police Academy, I was trying to get a guy down, and I needed a distraction. I said to him, "Should I show you my boobs" and that did it, he was on the floor before he knew it. My instructor just shook his head at me.
Love ya kiddo,
Susan
hahaha!! women can make their rules when necessary!
Hi Mariam. I just had to come over for a visit when I read on Sharon's blog about how you have such a problem taking pills... I remembered how much I miss you!! (I have that same problem by the way).
This game you and your hubby play sounds like lots of fun. And it appears that you make it even more fun!! LOL. My hubby and I play Scrabble on our phones.. but I think it might be time to get something less drab out to play. Hope you have a wonderful week!
