I go to a monthly Ladies Night Out game night. Usually we play BUNCO, but occasionally we opt to play “Burn Down the House.” When we play BUNCO, we all generally bring a gift and a food item. When we play Burn Down the House, we bring a bag with 3 useful items from around our house and three useless items from around our house. When it’s time to go home, we all leave with 6 items. Some we throw away. Some we keep.
I scored big time last night:
Lotion, lip balm, teensy fire crackers, cute home decor rack that matches my bathroom… lovely!
HOWEVER, there were a few guests we were lucky enough to “win” a cricket in a ziploc, a small tray of chewed gum (gag!), a roll of toilet paper, an empty bottle of hairspray… the list goes on.
Anyone who didn’t win anything nice is always given a nice prize by the hostess.
Anyone who is a niece of the hostess gets to wear a flower bra.
That would be me.
Yes, it was a luau theme.
It is SO nice to meet with the ladies from our town once a month. We have so many great women in these parts, and I enjoy every minute with them. They’re hilarious and refreshing and nicer than nice.
Usually my husband keeps the kids while I play, but he was called into work in the middle of our game. Since we were playing in my Grandma’s backyard, I told him to just drop the kids off and they could play around the yard where I could see them.
He left them (and our car) in such a hurry that he closed part of a tree in the driver’s side door.
Which made me laugh.
And this also made me laugh:
He thought it looked great with his new haircut, which he’s been telling everyone about.
Thanks, Ladies, for yet another wonderful night!
Thanks, Great JuJu, for hosting and feeding us the most DELICIOUS FOOD EVER!
Thanks, Cat, for being born so we could celebrate you!
