The other day, one of my friends enlightened me about a story circulating on the news. A man opened up a store, selling chocolate Jesus' named "Oh Sweet Jesus." I need to know who this man is and ask him why we aren't best friends yet.

Edible Jesus' aside, I thought I'd put together a "Sleepover Guide" for you guys.



Movies are essential. Take your friends to the video store and make sure you each pick out one of your own. Trailer park movies never hurt. (P.S. I was just informed I'm going to have a Johnny Depp movie marathon, because apparently I'm sheltered. I've only seen about 4-5 movies he's starred in. Woops.)



Try baking food, even if you normally don't. It's fun making something yourself and finding out how it turns out - or doesn't. My favorite baked foods are cupcake cones and chocolate chip cookies.



Whip out the board games, especially if they're classics from the 80's or 90's. Games like Pictionary or Scattegories are always fun, because you never know what to expect.



Remember when you used to play "dress up" as a kid? It never gets old. Go to the thrift store and pick out a bunch of different outfits that you'd never wear normally, and take photos with each other wearing them. If you're brave, go out to one of your 24/7 stores (Walmart, Meijers, etc) and walk through the store in costume. Make sure to document it all -- oh, and while you're there, ride the electric shopping carts. This is mandatory.



Prank call your friends or enemies, especially if you speak with horrible accents and are using an outrageous phone. Remember, *67 is your friend.



Have a fast-food buffet. Don't know what that is? Go to several different fast food restaurants near you, buy a few things from each one, go home, and put all the food together. It's greasy and liberating, but mostly just greasy. Who can complain?



Haul out the old video games or play new ones. One of my favorites is "Singstar." It's fun to go back in time and play the classics like Super Mario or Twisted Metal. Anyone remember those? Good, good times. Now I won't ever play video games unless I'm at a sleepover with friends.



Go outside and make a small bonfire and roast smores. If you can't make a bonfire, make "ghetto s'mores" over the stovetop. If that isn't an official name yet, remember where you got it from. My friends and I made ghetto s'mores every weekend over the summer.

Share some of your favorite sleepover ideas.
