Stuck in WARMER Weather

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:46:13 +0000

You know that Zac Brown Band song “Colder Weather?” Well it seems like we have the opposite problem, we are stuck in WARMER weather. This unusually warm winter has allowed me to enjoy some of my favorite warm weather activities. One such activity, which is normally reserved for spring and summer is grilling out. Normally I pack the grill up during the winter, but lately I have been rolling it out to grill some hamburgers or chicken. The warmer weather has allowed us to enjoy our deck a little more and play some games of corn hole. I highly recommend getting your grill out and enjoying the warmth while it lasts, I have a feeling we will pay a price for this wonderful weather in the near future.

Get Rid of Your Old Stuff

Almost everybody has the problem of having too much stuff. There are many ways to solve this issue, you can simply throw it away, or have a yard sale things of that nature. But if you are anything like me sometimes it is hard to get rid of your own things, if so you can always find ways to store it. I know a big issue with me is poker chips just lying around and it was starting to be a problem so I bought a poker chip case to put them all in and the problem was solved. There are many options you can look into for storing your things from plastic bins to even storage rooms or sheds. Finding somewhere to put all your things shouldn’t be a concern but if it is it might be time to throw some old stuff out.

Starting Off the New Year with Unpredictable Weather

So far this new year the weather has been a little unpredictable, one day it can be somewhat warm but then the next day it is freezing. Well the weather has got me so confused that I just decide to stay inside with my family and play games. We recently got started playing several different card games. There is only one problem with this, I can’t shuffle. I have tried and tried but it just doesn’t come naturally to me. I even tried several different shuffling techniques but I still can’t manage to do it so I leave the shuffling to someone else. Since I have been having so much trouble shuffling I went out and bought an automatic shuffler and it has worked wonders! I no longer have to worry about shuffling.

What do Falcons Do?

A lot of people now consider the holiday season to be over and time to get back in the flow of normal life. For me, though, the holidays are going to continue, at least until the NFL playoffs are over. Once again, the Atlanta Falcons have made the cut and will playing some extra football trying to punch their ticket to the big show. Hopefully they will do better this year then years past. Our first test comes against the New York Giants. Being a wild card team, we have an uphill battle ahead if we want to make the Super Bowl. So when it comes to game time this Sunday, I will be in front of my big screen, playing some poker with my buddies, and cheering my heart out. Falcons, RISE UP!

Adding New Games To your Game Room

Playing the same old games over and over can get boring sometimes. I know I am pretty tired of monopoly and trivia pursuit. Well if you have a game room and a lot of space there are tons of games you can put in there that aren’t just board games. One of my families’ favorite games to play is pool, it never gets old there are and people always love to play whenever they come over. An air hockey table is also another good game that everyone can enjoy. People of all ages love to be like a kid and play air hockey. Some of those games can get a little expensive though but there are many more games you can put in your game room.

White Christmas?

Again, the chances that we will have a white Christmas this year are not good. While they are calling for rain, the temperatures just won’t get low enough. Its unfortunate, because after the white Christmas we had here in northeast Georgia last year had me really hoping for another. I guess last year was just an anomaly. Well, maybe we will get some more snow in February! If we get another snow storm like we did last year, you better believe I am prepared this time. I have my board games and playing cards ready for it. If me and the family happen to get stuck in our home again for several days, poker and board games will keep us busy. I would recommend you prepare for it also, there just isn’t anything worse than being stranded inside with nothing to entertain yourself with. So get your entertainment preparation kit ready!

Be a Party Planner

With New Years, Christmas and many other holidays coming up maybe you should consider hosting a party for all your family and friends. It can be lots of fun and many memories can be made for years to come, and if you are smart about it you won’t have to spend too much money. There are many themes you can consider maybe a secret Santa party where everyone exchanges gifts, or some type of New Years party to celebrate the coming of a new year and new resolutions, or even a casino party that can be fun for everyone whether they celebrate Christmas or not.

When planning a party you need to take into consideration how many people will be there, your budget, how much space you have, and of course what type of party you want to plan. Once you have that all figured out then you are ready to party.

Traveling this Holiday Season?

When it comes to the holidays, some spend countless hours on the roads traveling to see the family. If you are traveling with a van full of kids then you will certainly be looking for something to keep your crew occupied and out of your hair. This could be as easy as a deck of playing cards. There is a plethora of games that can be played with a single deck of cards, not just Texas Hold’em or Blackjack. I would recommend investing in a deck of plastic playing cards. They are a little more expensive than regular cards but they last much longer and are much more durable. So when you hit the pavement this season remember that simplicity is a positive. Carrying a deck of cards wherever you travel can help keep your group occupied and will help you avoid unwanted stress. Have fun and travel safe!

Fun Holiday Gifts

The holidays are here, maybe you are wanting to have a Christmas party or some sort of event to bring everyone together to enjoy the holidays. Or maybe you are just giving gifts to friends or coworkers. Well one thing you can never go wrong with is poker or casino related gifts. There is a game for everyone out there poker, roulette, blackjack there are tons of games. But if they aren’t into those games you can’t go wrong with a simple deck of cards, people of all ages can find a game they can play with cards. If you want to get the whole family to play a game together than goldfish is my personal favorite or if it is just the adults then I would suggest something like Texas Hold’Em. Everyone will love their poker or casino gifts.

Enjoy This Time Of Year With The Family

If you are trying to bring your family together there are all kinds of activities you can do that everybody will enjoy. Now that November is here you can take your whole family to the Atlanta ice rink at Centennial Olympic Park. That’s always a great activity for everybody and its fun too, even if you fall down!

But if going to an ice rink is a little to cold for your family you can always bring the fun inside the house. There are tons of board games your whole family can play together. I know once my family starts to play a game a competition sparks and nobody wants to stop playing. Or if board games just aren’t your style you can always go the easy route and get a deck of cards, there are endless amounts of games you can play with a single deck of cards. It’ll be sure to be hours of fun for everyone.
