scrabble at city tap.
We love words. We love word games. So it's kind of a tragedy that we don't have a Scrabble set in our house. (I think both of us lost our Scrabble games from moving from childhood homes over the years.) Luckily the local bar in our town, City Tap, has a set - so we go to the bar to PLAY! (And have a drink or two while we bust out some high-point words!) I won't mention who almost always wins -- no one likes that.
City Tap is lovely. It's our only real bar in our town but it's fun! They have weird photographs on the walls, local art displayed, and crazy fun lamps & statues scattered around. Plus an amazing outdoor area. It's a nice way to spend an afternoon.
As for now -- we've been preparing for Irene. Fortunately we won't get anything more than crazy windy storms, but for us that still means power outages. We've moved all the outside stuff to safe places, parked our cars in the field, and made sure all the flashlights have batteries & there's plenty of candles scattered around. I hope those that are on the coast are prepared and safe!

triple word score.
I know I'm late to the party with this one, but Words with Friends has become my latest iPhone addiction. I resisted this game a year ago when some of my friends started playing it. I wasn't very into iPhone games in general so I decided not to play. I forgot I even had the app installed on my phone until the other day when my literate & stylish friend Cara-Mia requested a game. I tentatively started a game and then soon became enthralled with it. I forgot how much I loved word games. I am an English major after all. I soon had so many games going that I'm now in the process of trying to finish all up before I start anymore! {If you want to play me, you can request me with the username "rhiannabrooke" but give me a few days or so before I start our game so I don't go into word overload from all the ones I'm already finishing.}
But anyway -- Words with Friends has made me want to upgrade my old Scrabble set that is still hiding somewhere deep within the storage closets at my parents house. How perfect is this vintage set from Restoration Hardware? I want it something fierce, you guys! Everything about it is so lovely. Solid hardwood with die-cast metal accents -- fabric wrapped score book with matching pencil -- rotating table with a raised grid. Ahhh - everything I could hope for.
