Sloppy Jo's and Pretzel Rods

Book Club was cancelled today, so Jenn and i took it upon ourselves to come up with something to occupy our meeting time so we chose..BINGO. Although in the end, we were the only people that went..go figure.

Not just any BINGO, BINGO at St Catherine's..which is funny in itself if you ask me! probably because when i think about St Catherine's, i think about Chris Gates playing football for St Catherine's, and that was what...15 years ago???

We decided around noon, that we'd need our own "dotters" and some "lucky" objects or else we'd look "out of place", and we couldn't have that.. i mean, then if we won, they'd REALLY hate us!

Jenn's lucky items were.. bendable plush daisies..lol, and a beanie baby turtle.

Mine was, a snow globe with a pic of my mom and dad inside, and Riley's lucky care bear figurine..lol

* ( on a side note..some of the people's "lucky" items were INSANE. The woman sitting behind Jenn had about 10 TROLLS from the 1990's, and some women had piles of stuff with extravagant set ups.)

I have to admit not having a mother or grandmother that BINGO'd, i was a little nervous when they started calling crazy things like, "postage stamp", and "fireman's corner", and "outhouse", etc, Jenn sat across from me and didn't even flinch..She even told me that when they call "B-4" you reply "and after"..HA HA HA HA!!! (Shes definitely a closet bingo girl!)

Next time we go, I think i decided i want to bring my mom's ashes as my "lucky" thing!.. a great way to make it REALLY awkward!!! but she'd have a good time :) And Pretzel Rods seemed to be a big hit.. In North Carolina, they sell cigarette's as singles, but at BINGO, they sell Pretzel Rods as singles...i can get used to that. If we get there early next week, we're going to do dinner as well..Something about Sloppy Joe from a church that gets me every time!!!

Looking around the room was crazy, I believe Jenn's quote was "Wow, this is our community and I feel like we're in WEST VIRGINIA."

We had a blast, spent maybe $14 and were there ALL night, I'm just getting home now, and realized it was definitely BLOG-WORTHY!

I can't say I'm a "loser", but we were "non-winner's" tonight...

THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT MONDAY NIGHT!

my very first BLOG!- (how exciting)

just for a smile..

For those of you that havent heard, Brian and I recently got granted joint custody of Riley. We have her every other weekend and for a week in the summer.

So, anyway, I was undressing her for a bath on Friday night, and taking off her dress and she was wearing a BRA!!!!!!!!!!!!(She's 3!!!!!!!!!)

* on a side note i got my first bra in 3rd grade because Camille got one, and showed all of us girls, and i went home THAT very day and told my mom i needed one, we went that night to Wheaton Plaza, i got my bra at "Little Bo Peep", wore it to school the next day, and never wore it again..lol until maybe 6th or 7th grade....**(im still not sure i REALLY need one)

anyway, i just couldnt believe it! I didnt ask her about it b/c i didn't want to make it into a big deal, but it made me laugh and think about all the things that change in life ecspecially roles. Here i was with Brians naked 3 year old, and her bra..... how did this happen again?

We woke up Saturday and she didnt ask for it, so i didnt encourage her to put it on..(She's 3!!!) and no mention of it Sunday.... we'll see if "mom" packs it again next time.

Life goes on.............
