We had arrived early- so we had time to catch up as we ate. We laughed. Shook our heads in disbelief. Talked a bunch. Then it was Bingo time. Like I said it was my first real bingo experience... I played Bingo in college but YCP Bingo is NOTHING like this! I felt like I had stepped into of the scene in Roseanne...
I survived my first game- with BINGO no less.... although the lady next to me said I didn't yell BINGO loud enough and that I needed to raise my hand higher- because straight up was not high enough... I wasn't the only winner so they had "bingo sudden death"- you know where they keep calling and the first person to have the number wins... yeah I didn't know that either... but the lady next to me kindly watched my card and informed me I had won. YAY!!! The movie night themed bag was all mine!
My luck ran out after that... although I did manage to make a false call on "Y" bingo- I didn't realize I needed to be a letter expert to play- geesh!
Lauren wasn't as lucky- although she got to spend the evening with me so I think she was the real winner...
With all games over and the place clearing out- we headed to our cars and continued to chat. If it hadn't been so cold- we probably could have talked for hours...
It was a simple night... but one that left me feeling warm and fuzzy... and loved by a great friend!
Spolier alert: Day 3 of my Count Your Blessings calendar has Lauren written all over it!
