BINGO!!!!

My best friend Michele and I decided to go and do something really wild and crazy.. Bingo! You scoff now but let me tell you, it is serious business! I just dare you to sit in a Fire Hall filled with 150 old women prattling incessently with each other.. And then use the one bathroom in the building at the end of the night.. Oh yeah, that is living life right on the edge.. Crazy verging on insane but I did it and I survived! Here we were right before we went in, all excited with the prospect of winning big on our minds!!

All kidding aside, we really did have a great time! We sat at a table with 6 other women, 4 of them being old friends from a retirement community. There is nothing funnier and more heartwarming than hearing the comfortable rapport and razzing of a bunch of old ladies. They were great. I just hope Michele and I can be just as cool at that age.

And our table was a lucky one! 4 of the 8 won some moola, unfortunately just not Michele or I.. But I won a door prize and raffle! Yep, that's right, I am now the proud owner of a very awesome picnic bag, complete with built in cooler, plates, cups, cutting board, utensils, wine bottle holder stocked with a bottle of wine and blanket. Very cool indeed, and I am sure that at some point we will get some use out of it.

Even Michele was able to take something home, a magnetic notepad. It's not the $100 haul that some women scored but at least it was something! And knowing this afternoon was all for a good cause (the local Humane Society, to be exact) made it all the more enjoyable and worthwhile. Thank you Michele, for going with me. I had an amazing time, even if we didn't win big.. So when's the next time we're going?? We need to WIN!!!
