Last weekend was birthday weekend for me, so I thought I'd share a few of the things we did.
First off was Friday night bingo and bowling. Seriously.
I had no idea that people still regularly played bingo. Our group of 12 got there late, dressed like freshmen in college (yes, that was the costume code), and struggled to find a seat quietly while trying to catch up on all the numbers we'd already missed on the first card.
Bingo lesson #1: You have to bring your own bingo marker. They charge $1.50 for them at the hall.

Bingo Lesson #2: You apparently don't just have to get "bingo" anymore. For the first game, when we had no idea what was going on, RL got an actual bingo right away, and ran up to the front to show the lady calling the numbers. No bingo, you have to make the letter "P" on your card. The next one was a musical note or something. Confusing.

Bingo Lesson #3: They kept saying something about a "pickle bar" and everyone in our group thought that meant there were actual pickles for sale. Pickles are actually like scratch tickets that you can buy for a dollar. Weird.
Bingo Lesson #4: You have to be very, very quiet. We actually got shushed once, even though I was very proud of my friends for keeping it to loud whispers. Apparently the two times the woman calls it, the video of the ball coming up, and the two boards that flash the number are not enough for the bingoers. Must have total silence.

Bingo Lesson #5: The only people that win are the ones that have like a gazillion boards in front of them. We only had one board. None of us won. Not even Q, who had a lot.

By the end, we were all ready to go (my friend Tim even said something like, "I think I'm dying a slow death" in the middle of a game). Off to the bowling alley next door! We magically got three lanes together, I was not the worst bowler, and there were cupcakes. Awesome.

How much fun do you all have??? I am seriously jealous of your adventures. My Friday nights are usually "movie night" with the kids. Which isn't as fun as it sounds since none of my kids can sit through a whole movie yet, we just spread out a towel and they eat pizza on the floor and we watch some kind of kid movie (that, I don't mind).
And it doesn't surprise me that people take Bingo way too seriously. I say that, but then I'd be actually surprised about their seriousness if I were to ever attend a Bingo night. Oh, a girl can dream.
Yea for birthdays! Happy Birthday again. Hope to be able to physically celebrate with you one year!!
