Ever tried Pit? It's a really active (and usually loud) card game that never gets icky.

Unless someone is holding one of every card so nobody else can corner the market... Then it might get a bit hostile, maybe even a soda dumped over somebody's head.
Yes, it's a stock market game. You have oats, wheat, hay, barley, sugar... and you try to get all of one kind of card by trading cards with others. It gets noisy, hectic and sometimes frantic. It's the most fun I've ever had with a card game.
Uno, I'm leaving you.

Three years ago, while entering into the New Year's, my Mom woke me up.
"Papa passed away in his sleep," I looked at her, nodded, went into my room and locked the door as I stayed in there for the rest of the day, crying and feeling numb. I knew he was sick since Thanksgiving and on each holiday, he became worse. Knowing I had to go back to college within a few days was already hard enough as I had to start this mourning process.
Being at the college made it difficult. I was considered "popular" and well loved, but yet, not one person reached out, not my friends, not my acquaintances. I never once was told, "I'm sorry your grandfather died," or, "How are you doing?" when they knew that I had a passing in my life. I felt numb and disconnected, knowing that I was literally walking alone at the school and that my real support team was far away.
But...I made it.
I am thankful for a God and for friends back home who helped me through. And of course, family.
It hurt...and all I wanted was to be with my family, with my Papa.
I miss him a lot, but am so grateful to have had someone that was close to me and who finally understood who I was. I am so thankful for everyone that is in my life today and am thankful to "weed out" the people that weren't truly friends or who weren't a support.
I am thankful for who I am today.

How funny is this...? I am bringing in the new year by being on CC.... no one else in my house is awake... not even Bella at the moment.. lol and I am having coffee, making my inevitable grocery list.... and trying to decide if I really wanna watch some Doctor Who before I start this crazy first day of 2016...lol
Hard to believe 2015 is long gone.... and Today is a new day, a new year... with new goals. and I brought in the new year last night with some pretty awesome friends.... Couldn't have brought in the new year any other way.
