Time Out, SF!

We've started a new feature here each Wednesday at sfgirlbybay, brought to you by the lovely Erin Loechner, editor at Design for Mankind.

Greetings! I've made a bit of a resolution to myself for '09 to spend less time behind my computer monitor [my eyes are thanking me already and it's only February!]. Enter 'Time Out, SF', your new Wednesday guide to passing time without the computer.

Today's assignment? Enlist a few friends and bring back game night. Our favorite is "The Game of Things" and is, surprisingly, verrrrrry easy:

A player begins round one with a topic of his/her choice, i.e. "Things you should never say to a pregnant woman," or "Things you should do in an elevator." Each player secretly writes their answer down and puts it into a hat. The topic initiator then reads each answer aloud and everyone must guess which answer belongs to which player!

It's a riot to play with your creative friends and quite the stress reliever. Especially when your topic is "Things I wish I could say to my boss."

Time out, SF!
