Bingo, Birthdays, Billiards and Boat Cruises
I know you are wondering what could these four things possibly have in common?
Basically this has been what has kept me from remaining in touch with the blogging world.
On Friday evening my buddy and I decided to do a Bingo. It was a late/early 1 am bingo. At these late night programs they give all the money ($5,500) of a regular program away in 4 games. Very much fun! Not a huge success, but we managed to break even and go home with what we started with. Bingo is the answer to my gambling addiction.
On Saturday morning we started the day early despite my 3:30 am bedtime. DD#2 and I made coffee, cleaned the kitchen and generally concocted a way to get DD#3 and her sleepover pal to help clean up the lawn furniture. It didn't take much at all to get everyone involved. Thanks to DD#2 and DD#3 the lawn furniture and backyard was in tip top shape and thanks to DD#1, DD#2 and myself the rest of the house looked pretty damn good as well! All set for the main event......
I agreed to lend my backyard as the venue for "The Birthday". It was a birthday that could not be ignored as it was the 30 year milestone ....see DD#2's blog www.aimeethinks.blogspot.com for a complete rundown of the birthday events. I think a good time was had by all and the Birthday Gal seemed to have a good time. That was the important part. Next to bed (around 1 am)for a hopefully rejuvenating sleep for the next busy day.
Billiards....OMG 9 ball sucks and so do we! Not really...okay actually we aren't to bad. Sunday morning 9 am arrive at bar and start warming up on the newly clothed pool tables. So this is the team that needs to win! On this team there are 3 women from the Ladies team (which has been to Vegas twice for Championship Tournaments) along with our husbands (who also play on teams of their own and have never been to Vegas) So you can read all the events of this day on Snoopy's site over there->
We played, we won, we played, we won.....We got to finals and we shit the BED! No Vegas celebrations this weekend! Luckily, the Ladies team plays this Sunday for Vegas (regular season still in play so final placement in session still to be determined) and then the other team with the boys/Ladies gets its chance to play again on the 16, 17 and 18th for another chance for the gang to go to Vegas. So the Ladies have 2 more shots at it and if the boys can pull their weight on the table we'll drag their asses to Vegas for a week of sun and fun! DH is so excited! He is so excited about being so close to California and all his friends that I'm sure he will pull his head out of his ass, gel up the greys and shoot like mad! 8 ball is more his game anyway!
Boat Cruises-apparently while I was enjoying the customer appreciation meeting of one of our suppliers the a/c was not working at the office. Considering I'm not a little person, it's a good darn thing I was sailing around Toronto Harbour listening to the upcoming changes of the pipeline company that was footing the bill. Despite a very slight feeling of motion sickness I had a nice time socializing with others in my industry that I hadn't seen since the last big get together. Good drinks, good food and good company and everything for free...what more cana gal ask for? and they even gave us presents to go home with! How fricking fun is that! Dam I don't wanna go in tomorrow! Think I need to wear most minimal clothing that a fat gal can and bring a fan!!!!
So that has been my busy weekend and beginning week...much more busy stuff this week!
BLAH.....
and have I told you its 90 degrees in the shade!

Thanks for opening your home up to us. I had a great time.
May I suggest a slinky unitard. Tell your co-workers that if you are going to spend the day sweating, you would like to look the part. Do a couple of deep bends outside your boss's office, this should get you the okay to work from home until the a/c is fixed.
I wanna play that bingo with you guys! Do they serve alcohol?
SWOTE-unitards, interesting concept do they come in FAT? Thanks for the thought!
Kim-c'mon up Girlfriend and bring your flask this ain't Vegas but it's fun!
