I love to play games, and I think my love of games has rubbed off on my children. I’ll play any board game against anyone. I personally love Monopoly, but in 12 years, my husband has only one a few times (so for some reason, he doesn’t want to play with me anymore). However, this year, I think our game playing will be on our Wii. We are having Christmas at my house, and we are the only one with a Wii. Besides some Wii games, I think we will be playing War and Go Fish, since Madison is four and that is about all she knows how to play.
What games do you play on playing over the holidays?

I’ve never been a big fan of my mailbox. However, it served its purpose till last night. We woke up this morning to our mailbox laying on the ground. Since a lot of my product reviews are sent by the mail, this is a very bad, bad thing. Second problem, it snowed here last night, so the ground is frozen. We think it was hit by the snow plow in the middle of the night (it was still there at 11 pm). The beam that actually holds the mailbox is split. We had to do a horrible fix job in about 20 degree weather today. Bill took some industrial clamps and zip ties and that is the only thing that is holding the beam together. The beam also leans forward pretty bad, so we had to take stakes and pound them into the ground around the base. This looks like the worst white trash mailbox I’ve ever seen, and there is no way to fix this until the ground thaws out. I am hoping to get some pictures of my sorry looking mailbox tomorrow. If anyone has any ideas of how to get new a mailbox into the frozen ground, I am all ears.

I wish I had some great Thanksgiving stories. However, we normally end up going to somebody elses house for Thanksgiving, so I dont’ have to cook. Ever. Honestly, it is nice. However, this year my parents are coming here for Thanksgiving, so I have to cook my own dinner (with some help from my mom I hope! Though she won’t be coming up till Thanksgiving day itself, so I may not have as much help as I’d like! They are coming here so I have some company doing some Black Friday shopping (though my mom is refusing to go stand outside at Best Buy at 3 am. Yes, I am that dedicated. LOL)
I have a feeling this Thanksgiving I will have a ton of material to post about regarding my experience. I don’t think Bill and I have ever made a real turkey by ourselves. That is why its nice to know that Butterball has a Turkey Talk-Line. You can call 1-800-BUTTERBALL and talk to their meal preparation experts (writing that phone number down myself), or you can visit Butterball.com for Web chats with a few bloggers – Chris Jordan (Notes from the Trenches), Susan Wagner (Friday Playdate), and Roxanna (Miguelina) on November 11, 18 and 25 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. CST. They will answer all your turkey related questions. Now, if any of you have any advice for me, I’ll gladly take it. We just won’t tell anyone. 
This post was written for Parent Bloggers Network as part of a sweepstakes sponsored by Butterball.

Boy, was I surprised that I am not. You know, since I live in Chicago and all and not a small town. Don’t know what I am talking about? I didn’t hear the statement that Sarah Palin made at a rally (you know since the libel media is sooooo biased against her), but Jon Stewart sure did. Check out his thoughts:
Now, the Chicago Tribune did an article several weeks ago (and I’ll link it as soon as I find it) showing that small towns have just as many problems (if not more) than big cities. I personally am sick and tired of hearing how “small town America” is so much better. Let me show you Chicago. Granted, we have our problems too, but we sure don’t act better than anyone else. Wait, can the Olympics even be held here if we aren’t part of “real” America? Like Jon Stewart said, if you are from a big city and die over in Iraq, you aren’t a “real” American.
So if I am no longer a “real” American, do I still have to pay my taxes, since in the Republicans eyes I don’t count? Basically, what I am lead to believe with the way all these Republicans are talking is that unless you are a Republican, I guess you aren’t a “real” American.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!
