In my defense...it is still Sunday Night...meaning I am keeping my once a week promise.
Lately I have had this song stuck in my head...90% of the time.
Don't get me wrong. I love the Beatles as much as the next red-blooded human being.
(Well, except for a certain roommate with a name that starts with a G. She insists on calling the timeless musical gift we all know as The Beatles "The Bowl Cuts" and changing the song if one of their classics comes on the ipod. Yeah, they had bad haircuts. But the harmonies! The musical merit!)
Anyways, I digress.
This song is constantly going through my head.
I blame it on this:
My name is Ashleigh and I am an addict.
Actually, I live in #41 and we are all addicts.
Except Abish.
She likes this game about as much as Gabby likes the Beatles.
The game looks something like this:
The object is to use your little colored trains to get from city to city across America.
I know, it sounds like a clever ploy a geography teacher would use to get her 3rd graders to learn the states.
But I assure you, it is fun for the whole family.
Unless Abish happens to be in your family.
We play this game at least 5 times a week, Usually multiple times in one sitting.
Sometimes we set alarms on our phones for "Train Game Time". We all take a break from the homework, the subway sandwich making, the athletic training and the library going and sit down as a family to play our favorite game.
And when the game is over, we knock all the trains over and scream and make crashing noises like you would hear at any massive train catastrophe, then we start all over again.
I would argue that it is just about the most wholesome thing you are going to find 5 college girls doing on a Friday night.
Addictions like that are okay, right?
Right.
