I am so glad to have that evening behind me. Our Neighborhood Bunko night was successful, in more ways than others. After much prodding and begging, my friend Leslie came to fill in for one of our members who was out of town. I'm so glad that she did because she had never played before and she had a good time. Not only that, she won $10. Woot Woot!!
I'm lucky to have such great neighbors who are a lot fun.
I'm hosting Bunko tonight. And although it's something I've somewhat dreaded, in the end, I did have a little fun putting it all together. My theme for this evening is, of course, Valentines Day. I have been planning on a Valentine theme for this month since the end of last year but I recently learned that I could also have chosen to go with a Mardi Gras theme. That would be fun, so maybe next year if I have February again!
This night will be filled with red, red and more red. One of the red items is a dish that was given to me from Tanya and Alan. It's actually a red snowman plate but the goodies are covering up it's cuteness. Besides the entree and side dishes, I have included chocolates, hearts shaped deserts and heart shaped candy. From my last post you can see that I added heart stickers to the score sheets and I'm also supplying valentine pencils to keep score. So I think it's going to be real cute. Hopefully everything taste good and the night is a success.
It's only noon and it I feel like I've achieved a whole day's work.
I know, it's boring. But it's what a gal does to keep things running. And you thought we ate bonbons and watched soaps. Puhleeeze.
My neighborhood had their first Bunko night. It was fun and over with quickly because we only played 2 rounds and that was perfect. We started off the night with a quick meal and then had a gift exchange. I had the Bunko dice at the end of the night so I won a gift, which was a couple of ornaments for the Christmas tree. I will be hosting Bunko in February so if you have any ideas for a Valentines Day Bunko night... don't keep it to yourself.
Margaritas was not the drink served at Bunko. It was wine and I'm not a fan of wine... at all. But it was fun and I did come out the big winner with the most Bunkos!!! I never win at things so I might need to run out and buy a lottery ticket while my luck is on the rise.
Remember when every Friday night was fun and you always had plans to do something with friends? I'm looking forward to this Friday evening. I'm going to go throw some dice with friends in a little game that we like to call... Bunko. Yep that's right. I'm a sub tonight and will be enjoying bunko and margaritas. Only I will be limiting my intake of margaritas due to the fact that I must drive home and I wouldn't want to put my family through a senseless tragedy out of stupidity. So "just say no...after one" is my motto for tonight. And not only will I be enjoying myself but so will Ray and the kids. Ray's friend, Brandon, and his kids are coming over to our house to hang out. I'm excited for my kids. I love when they have something to look forward to, except when they talk about it every minute of everyday until the fun arrives.
I filled in as a sub in a Bunko game this past Friday. I'm a home body and I had dreaded going all week because that's just how I roll, but I ended up having a good time. I had completely forgotten how to play the game since it's been over 8 years and my memory is just not as sharp these days. Quite honestly, nothing was familiar about the game except for the rolling of the dice. And even that seemed different. Did the game always use only 3 dice??
I did walk away with a delicious Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe which I made for dinner yesterday. Everyone ate it except for the 2 young-uns in our household. I guess it had too many colors and "things" in it.
