Happy Birthday Party Game- Favorite Songs 

 Personalize Birthday Party Game with your Guest Of Honors Favorite Music

This was originally played at a 50th Birthday party so the main music group was 80’s music.  Personalize this game to your music lovers likes.

NOTE: It is not necessary to know the person’s favorite song.  Just his or hers general likes and dislikes. 

For each player including yourself and birthday honoree, make a group of 11 pre-printed (2” x 2”) cards of song’s you know the birthday boy loves, but some he just likes okay, and a couple he may hate.  Plus also a card that says 3 points on one side and is blank on the other.  Put each group of cards in alphabetical order by song title.

Have the guests (including birthday honoree) arrange the cards face down in the order they believe is the honoree's favorite to least favorite song.  

On the blank side of the 3 point card, have the guest put what they believe is his favorite song that is not in the game.  Place the card so that 3 Points is showing, not the answer. This is the tie breaker answer.

Birthday Party Music Cards, Each gets a stack (paperclip part of photo) and arrange face down favorite to hate song, with 3 point favorite write-in answer.

After the guest has put in order (faced down the order of the best to worst song and filled out their 3 point card, then the person who is to the left of the birthday person will go first (for each round) and flip over the first card which should represent the birthday person's favorite song.  Then the next person will flip over their card. The birthday person will go last and flip over the correct answer.  All those who got it right will keep their card, all those who got the answer wrong will discard the incorrect card to the middle discard pile.

At the end of the game, before the three point card is revealed, see if there is a winner.  That would be the person who has the been able to keep the most cards.  If there is a tie, then the three point card comes into play.  Have the tied players flip over the write-in answers.  Whichever answer the birthday boy likes best will be the winner.

Suggested prize for the game winner:  At the crafts store, you can get make your own buttons (pin-back).  Have a young picture of the birthday boy with the words “I know ____(his name) along with some candy.

Here’s what our birthday honoree’s list of songs in order of like to dislike:

Birthday Music Game Cards 

Favorite- Talk Dirty To Me - Poison,  2nd Dancing With Myself - Billy Idol,   3rd Girls, Girls, Girls by Motley Crue,   4th Desperate But Not Serious by Adam Ant,  5th Modern Love by David Bowie,  6th Safety Dance by Men Without Hats,  7th Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield,  8th Only in My Dreams by Debbie Gibson,   9th Brady Bunch Theme Song,  10th Like A Virgin by Madonna,  11th I Write The Songs by Barry Manilow  3 point answer: Wild Side by Motley Crue.

What is funny, is that everyone guessed Billy Idol’s Dancing with Myself as #1 except the birthday guy. Boy did we argue with him!

Memory - Bulletin- Gratitude Board Craft 

From Memory Board to Gratitude Board to Pizza Pan Craft 

The Back Story:

As all cold Januarys, I do less and am not my usual happy self.  I don’t go out unless I have to or am dragged out by my friends for movie night.  I am definitely my most ungrateful in the early part of each year.

It was early in the year of 2008 when the following quote came into my life for the first time. My bestie, my sister & I were watching our first movie of the New Year “A Love Song for Bobby Long” starring John Travolta.  I cannot recommend the movie, but I highly recommended the quote that I first accredited to Bobby Long, but later found it was a Robert Frost quote.

Gratitude - Craft Inspired Quote:

Happiness Gratitude Quote Board Memory

Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length -Robert Frost

At the same time I was happily obsessed with this quote, I found a memory board, which I call a bulletin board, on sale at Aldi’s.  So I decided to buy the board, hang it in my kitchen, and put mementos of all the little fun things we do through out the year, starting with a photo from the movie “Bobby Long”, as it was our first of the New Year movie night. This became my gratitude board!

Top 5 Gratitude Quotes:

If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily. -----Gerald Good

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today & creates 

a vision for tomorrow. -Melody Beattie

Gratitude is an opener of locked-up blessings. ~Marianne Williamson 

Hem your blessings with thankfulness so they don't unravel. -Quote

For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food, for love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Gratitude Board Craft -- Pizza Pan

Gratitude Board Quote Craft

There is always Dots Candy on my gratitude board as they always throw them out in the Homecoming Parade.

This was always a big score for my older sister, so we always grab them for her when she's not with us!  

So at the beginning of 2009, I wondered what to do with 2008 tickets, pictures, game pieces, little mementos, etc. that I had on my Gratitude Board to clear the way for another year of fun!  Looking at the colors of my kitchen, I decided to hot glue mementos of my 2008 memory board to a new pizza pan.  I had to drop some of the mementos from the list, cut some down to a smaller size and even use the borders of the pan.  To make it hangable,  I hot glued a coke tab to the back of the pizza pan.  I hang the gratitude pans in my kitchen too.  

Gratitude Quote 

It really helps to know that there is always happiness around the corner.  The more I look for it and the more grateful I am, the more I seem to have in store!

Back To School Time - Savings

Go Back To School and Save Money Literally!

It's back to school time. Hooray! It's about time, right? 

So here is what you need to learn from your kids!

KEY: Teacher=one of your kids depending on each kid's specialty.

Back To School - Math The Savings Angles 

Subject: Math -- Back to School Savings:

*Are you making too much of a recipe because you do not know how to half the ingredients, or are you  making too little because you can not properly double or make a batch and a half (YIKES!!)?  Have your Math Teacher teach you fractions and measurements.  Save money by making the right amount of food correctly!

*Do you have a working budget and putting savings back each month?  If not, have your Math Teacher show you how to graph your incoming assets versus your outgoing bills.  Include everything. This will show you where you can save money.

Subject: Science -- Back to School Savings:

Plants and vegetation--Have your teacher school you in the science of plants. Tomatoes are one of the easiest plants to grow (doesn't take much space either).  You will learn that one plant yields many tomatoes.  A couple of plants and you won't have to buy tomatoes for months!  Don't forget to branch out!

Subject: Art -- Back to School Savings:

*Make cheap, but original decorations for the house.  Also make gifts, instead of buying.

*A great way to stimulate the brain.  Staying healthy is a huge money saver.

Back To School Time - The Art Of Saving

Top 5 Ways To Become A Teacher's Pet

*Raise your hand often (to answer a question, not to get a drink of water).

*Listen intently with a bright, shining smile on your face!

*Volunteer a lot!!! To help grade papers, clean erasers, etc.

*Bring in the Teacher gummy bears!

*Let the Teacher stay up past 9:00 pm on a school night!

Subject: Music:

Not really a money saver, but we heard you sing with the windows down.
Please ask your music teacher to help!!!!

Subject: Physical Education -- Back to School Savings:

*Savings $$--No need for a gym membership!  Remember when we were kids running around the yard, bicycling through the neighborhood, or jumping rope? We called it play and we could do it all day long. Now that we're adults we call running, bicycling, and jumping "working-out" and we find any excuse to avoid it.  But Exercise doesn't have to mean countless, grueling hours in the gym.... to read the rest click our website article on Exercise Motivation For Those Who Hate The Gym

Subject: Vocabulary -- Back to School Savings:

*Have your English Teacher open up a whole new world with Vocabulary!  Your creative writing will soar to a new zenith!  Also, no need to cuss which makes an uneasy situation even more tense.  Get imaginative in your frustration and all might end up laughing! Savings:  Your increased knowledge of words will help you become a Jeopardy contestant earning you at least $1,000!!!

*A better vocabulary = job promotion?  Dress to Success & Expound to Impress!

Back To School Time 

Put Your Head Down On Your Desk & Be Quiet!

*Okay, this is suppose to be a punishment when the class has been unruly. Secret: the teacher wants to play video games that night and wants to grade your papers while at school.  Benefit:  this forced quiet time is a great stress reliever. Let your mind either wander to an exotic spot and have a mini-vacation, daydream or create!  Savings:  High stress = high medical bills.  Low stress = good health!

Social Causes:

*Kids --(oops I mean) Teachers always come home (er, to school) enthused about a social cause.  Why not get inspired too. Looking brightly at the future and making a difference is not just for those under 10.  If your teacher is hyped up about becoming ecologically responsible, join in.  This will greatly reduce your household cost.  Don't let the water run while brushing your teeth, use a water filter instead of plastic bottles, turn off all electricity when not in use, buy used instead of new (new to like new clothes for 50 cents to $1 at garage sales--this is not a myth), etc.  Going green means saving the big time green! 

Cue the School Bell:

Now go out there and buy your notebooks why they are still a quarter and start learning/saving!  Soon you will have your college fund in the bank.

Remember, a mind is a terrible thing to waste, so check our our Mind Power Page that will help you keep your brain focused for those long lectures ahead of you.  Just follow this link: Increase Your Brain Power

Best of luck in the school year!

Antique Roadshow The Over The Hill Birthday Edition 

Antique Roadshow Birthday Skit for the 50th Birthday

A couple of years ago, my sister and I did a skit for my best friend's 50th birthday.   He had no idea that he had entered the Antique Roadshow Zone.  He had a blast, and participated as the skit went along, adding funny comments on the way.  This is a great idea to take and personalize for any old timer’s birthday.

FYI: quicker than Jack Robinson is an actual old time saying meaning of course-fast!

Signs made in PrintMaster:

Hung on the wall:

After 50

Everything That Doesn't Hurt

Doesn't Work

Caution, Middle Age Meltdown

I Used To Be A Man Of Vision,

Before The Meds Cleared it Up!

I Get Enough Exercise

Just Pushing My Luck

It's your 50th B-day Party

You Can Cry If You Want To

Antique Roadshow Over The Hill Birthday Skit

Paula bringing in the Birthday boy….

Appraiser:  Be careful.  It looks frail.  You might chip it or break it’s hip.  Hi, I’m Lorraine Madison, a new addition to the Antique Roadshow, specializing in antique oddities.  And this is Paula from Terre Haute, Indiana.  Do you know what you have brought in today, Paula?

Paula:  I have no clue, but if you specialize in antique oddities, I'm sure I'm in the right place!

 Appraiser:  Very true.  How exactly did you come in possession of this oddity?

Paula:  It seems like around 20 years ago, my sister asked if I could give it a ride home, and it’s been collecting dust ever since.

Appraiser:  Do you have any idea how old it is?

Paula:  No, but my guess would be 100 or 200 years old????

Appraiser:  Well, with all the moaning and groaning it made when it was moving up here, I can see how you would think that.  But you can actually count it’s age by the large wrinkles under the eyes, just like you would a tree with it’s rings.  (Counting Wrinkles) 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years old!  Just as I suspected.

Appraiser:  What you have here is a Jack Robinson.  It got it’s name from the quickness it came and went in the stores.  Let’s put it this way, the Edsel, the Pet Rock, and plastic cat poop had more appeal to the American public.  It was pulled faster from the shelves by the manufacture quicker than you can say Jack Robinson.  There was always a rumor that one actually sold.

Over The Hill Birthday Decoration Antique Roadshow

Paula:  So it’s a rarity, that must make it valuable?

Appraiser:  Well it does have quite a lot of condition problems.  Believe it or not, at one time it did  have a full head of red hair!

Paula: (looking stunned) Noooooooo!

Appraiser:  Yes, (brings out a magnifying glass, examines top of bald head, to show a remaining red hair or two)  If you look carefully… no I guess I was mistaken.  (Picks dirt off head, that appraiser had thought was a red hair.)   And it looks like it could use a professional cleaning. Blowing (imaginary) dust off of scalp. Oh my.

Paula:  What do you suggest as an insurance value?

Appraiser:  Do you really think you could get anyone to insure a 50 year old Jack Robinson?  And if you could, imagine how high the insurance premiums would be?

Paula:  How true!  Is there any auction value?

Appraiser:  Well he is a pretty good guitarist.  You probably will have to massage the pre-arthritic claw first and maybe get some new strings for the guitar, but it all should work.  And if you step back and squint (both appraiser and Paula stepping back and squinting).  Maybe a little further back. (both stepping back again).  Try covering one eye and squint harder with the other (both doing).  There, he still is quite handsome!  (With one hand over one eye, standing back far, and squinting with the other eye, both Paula and appraiser nod their head in agreement).  (Then going back over to the Jack Robinson).

Appraiser: Taking it all in consideration, I  would have to put an auction value of priceless.

Pose for camera.

Rosie O’Donnell The View Song Parody 

Rosie O’Donnell Song Parody Grease The Movie 

It was announced earlier this week that Rosie O’Donnell was rejoining The View.  This was my cue to dust off an old song parody I made up years ago when she had her talk show. I was a fan of her show where she often talked of Ring Dings & musicals.  One night this came to me, a song parody of Sandra Dee from Grease The Movie.

Rosie O'Donnell Grease The Movie Song Parody 

Rosie-O

(Setting)

Rosie O’Donnell on the end of her bed with a tray of Italian food. 

Eating. Then music starts. 

Knocks over her tray and slowly climbs on bed.

Look at me, I'm Rosie-O

Belly full of spaghetti-o

Won't go to bed 'til I'm properly fed

I can't; I'm Rosie-O

Oh Fudge! Hey, chocolate pie

I like my meringue til it’s knee high

With graham cracker crust

A shovel’s a must
I gave my heart to chocolate pie!

I don't do broccoli (no) 

Or cauliflower (no)         

I'd rather eat my hair (ick) 

I’ll get ill from one carrot stick

(barf, barf, barf)

Keep your filthy paws  

Off my S’Mores 

Would you pull that crap with DeGeneres

Grease The Movie Song Lyrics Rosie O'Donnell Parody

As for you Ring Ding Cake,

I know what I wanna do

You got your cream

So rich I will scream

I'm just so hungry-O 

Elvis, Elvis, don’t let me be!

Share that peanut butter-banana sandwich with me!

Elvis don’t be cruel

Now I’m starting to drool

(Gives up on Elvis trying to share his sandwich)

(Goes back to her tray starts to put food back on it)

Hey Ragu, I am Rosie O

Hot Steamy Love Poetry - Women Writers 

Sex, Love and Poems Back In The Day!

It seems like every generation thinks they discovered good sex!  You know, steamy, make your toes curl, your eyebrows itch, hot, hot love. The newest generation may think they have made up new moves & loving hasn't been loving until they came along and got it on.

Sorry.  I hate to inform you, but the steam has been hissing long before you were born. Check out these early poets.  They found their passion and made it happen!

Sappho approx 615 B.C - 550 B.C.

Sappho Hot Love Poems Women Writers

You came and I was

longing for you.

You cooled a heart that

burned with desire.

-Sappho

Veronica Franco 

1546–1591

Veronica Franco Steamy Love Poem

So sweet and delicious do

I become, when I am in bed

with a man who, I sense,

loves and enjoys me, that the

pleasure I bring excels all

delight, so the knot of love,

however tight it seemed before,

is tied tighter still.

-Veronica Franco

Emily Dickinson 1830 - 1886

Wild Nights by Emily Dickinson

Wild Nights - Wild Nights!

Were I with thee

Wild Nights should be

Our luxury!

Futile - the Winds -

To a Heart in port -

Done with the Compass -

Done with the Chart!

Rowing in Eden -

Ah, the Sea!

Might I but moor -

Tonight - With Thee!

Sara Teasdale 1884 - 1933

Sara Teasdale Hot Love Poem Kiss

 Joy by Sara Teasdale 

I am wild, I will sing to the trees,

I will sing to the stars in the sky,

I love, I am loved, he is mine,

Now at last I can die!

I am sandaled with wind and with flame,

I have heart-fire and singing to give,

I can tread on the grass or the stars,

Now at last I can live!

When people say it's important to learn from our history, I am pretty sure they are talking about these passionate-poetresses.  So go out there and throw it down so good, that you have a burning desire to write about it.  May future generations learn from you!
