We had so much fun, we decided to play Life the next night. Miles changed jobs 4 times. He was a doctor, then a hair dresser, then a vet, and finally an althete. He bought a nice condo. Addie had so many kids they outnumbered the seats in her minivan. When the last daughter was "born", she distinctly said, "I don't want it", and threw it back in the box. I reminded her that she gets $10K per child at the end of the game, so it would be smart to keep the child. Poor Addie raised all five kids on a teachers salary for a while, then she lost her job and became a salesperson. Even worse pay. She lived in a mobile home. Jason had a huge amount of children and made his way as a mechanic in a modest ranch. As for me, I adopted two girls, and owned a $400K tudor-style house, and was a laywer. I won the game by a long shot. Although, I must admit, my life experiences were lacking in comparision to the other three. I think tonight we'll play cards. Miles was not happy about constantly losing his job and taking all those loans to pay for college. :)
Jason being silly.

This is my crappy attempt at making a New Year's Eve chocolate cake. I waited too long to remove it from the pan and the whole thing stuck. I should have made it into a trifle but with the snow storm, I couldn't go out to the store for pudding and whipped cream. It tasted as bad as it looked! I still have a hankering for cake - I may have to make another one!
My wild boy. He got a little goofy toward the end of the game...
