Bingo, Friends and a Pill Box!

I went to Bingo with a few of my friends.  Lisa, one of my best friends and fellow WW, was celebrating her birthday there.  You get a free electronic Bingo device on your birthday.  So our Bible study group usually goes when it is someones birthday.  I know that's kind of strange that a Bible Study group goes to a casino but we do...  Anyway, none of us EVER win but it's a good time to talk and laugh.  One of the problems is that there is a great food court - and it's cheap. (probably cheap food, too)  So I ended up eating way too many points.  I think I had a total of 58 for the day!  I thought I had selected decently but I didn't get the point values until after I got home...  mistake...  So now I have made a note in my ipod with some of the point values there (guesstimates)  so that next time I am a little more prepared.  

I didn't lose much money at all there - for bingo and eats and a couple of slots I ended up spending $20  - I always set a limit and I only take that amount.  But at one point I was ahead about $20 - I just go expecting to use my 20 and if I happen to win then that's a bonus.  We all say though that the Casino has especially "GOOD" Coca Cola!  So I did have a couple cups of that.   Here is a picture of one cup!  Mmmmm




 
After that I decided that instead of rewarding myself with Mexican food I wanted to get the little "pill box" I had seen a couple weeks ago.  It holds 8 days and will fit nicely in my purse.  I just can't seem to remember to take my meds and I usually remember when I am out away from the house.  So this should help!  It's all sparkly with seashells and beachy stuff - things I love!  Maybe one reward down the road will be when I can turn it into a Tylenol only box!

Today I am heading in to help out my mom & dad at the Flea market. We've had a good weekend, lots of things have sold and I need to go decorate!!  One of my favorite things to do.  It's like decorating someone elses home and it's always changing!  LOVE IT! LOVE IT!  I hate moving furniture and luging stuff around but the rewards there are I get to decorate!  Maybe I'll post a picture of our little booth (boof, as my nephew calls it) sometime in the future. 


Thanks so much for all the encouraging comments you guys have posted lately.  I can not believe how much it carries me through the day - I love getting to know you guys!

I love bingo! We have a August event around here where I live The Fancy Farm Picnic. the community is a catholic one and the picnic is for politicing and bbq eatin! (yeah i tried to toss my drawl in there) Any who there is meat after beat over flames and in smoke. Politicians babbeling away to any all who care to hear as well as baked goods, kiddie games, and i am sure some alcohol if you know who is in the in to find it;).
And then there is 25 cent a card bingo! You can win anything from junky knick nacks that were won and rewon in years past to patio furniture sets. And i gues sit is the catholic school kid in me but man i could play some 25 cent bingo all day long and it doesn't matter if i win or not.
I do hope to one day hear someone say "hingo!" like in that sally field movie where the guy called h instead of b and every one jokes with they are playing hingo!
