Actually I had golden puffs for breakfast. But after breakfast, we went out for a walk around the neighborhood, checking out the architecture, the foliage, and a mystery church. It was windy outside, but while the rest of the nation seemed to be in the wake of a huge winter storm, we were enjoying 65 degree sunny weather.

After naptime, we got ready to go to trivia night at Revolution Pizza and Ale House. Our team, the Apple Jacks, didn't get first, second, third or, well, we don't know how well we did. Heck, we didn't even hear a couple of the answers, anyway. But we had a blast, I know I would do it again. At least we gave them something to laugh about when we didn't know the answer. Who wants a blank space when they could put something more entertaining? Apparently, bling-bling is in the dictionary - I know, stupid. I was sure ginormous would have been in there before bling-bling. We couldn't remember what the twin deficit was (trade and budget!), annoying because I used to know. So we put bling and bling for the twin deficit, and couldn't remember the dog's name from the Grinch so we put Blingo (Max!).
Afterwards, we came back and figured out how a killer penthouse was killing people and then played a few rounds of not-zombie-Fluxx. We stayed up fairly late, but hey - it was our last evening together. The first two rounds went pretty quickly, so we decided to go for a third round, which got really complex, especially complex for that time of night:
So here was the breakdown of the rules that were in force at the time the pic was taken:

Can pick between one of the two goals on the table. Not too tough, right? Well ...
You have to have the radioactive potato in addition to what the goal requires (only 1 in the deck)
Have to draw three cards
Have to play four cards (unless you run out)
At the end of the turn, if you don't like your hand, you can turn all your cards in and replace with the same amount
If you have the fewest keepers, you can draw an extra card
If you have the most keepers, you can draw an extra card
If the party keeper is on the table, then you can draw an extra card
If you start your next round with no cards, you get to draw three extra cards
Hand limit 0 = at the end of the turn, you have to discard anything not played
You can only have three keepers at a time.
The person to your left draws a random card from your hand that has to be played first.
Inflation card: any rule card that has a numeral on it ("1" not "one") gets an added value of 1.
SO ... two goals was listed as double, so it's still two, but you have to draw 4 cards and play 5. If you have the most or fewer keepers, you now draw 2 extra instead of 1. If the party keeper's one of the (4 allowed now instead of 3) keepers, you draw another 2 cards instead of 1. If you start with no cards, you get to draw another 4. Hand limit is now 1. The random card drawn from the player to the left is still one because it was "a" card or "one" card, not "1". So basically you could be drawing anywhere from 6 to 12 cards, playing 5 (one played by neighbor), and discarding all of the rest of the cards (except one thanks to inflation).
So are you dizzy? I am. This late at night? Hilarious.
