bingo

i just got a card/birth announcement in the mail from my friend amy who has just had her third baby. her daughter, annika, (#2) is ellen's age. i'm very exited for her, but at the same time i feel a bit nervous. greg and martha are also having their third any day and for some reason this means that i'm going to be having another baby soon too. no, i'm not pregnant. i just have this sorta fear that baby #3 is going to arrive before i've reestablished normal sleep patterns for myself. probably won't happen, but when my friends that are having kids at the same times as me have another i feel like i need to get with the program. (isn't that the craziest thing i've said today?) hearing from amy also reminds me of bingo. i love playing bingo. at an old folks home. with little color daubers. for money. love it. amy took me to play and i think i did my happy dance (the same one that going to ikea in georgia brought on). i had so much fun. of course it didn't hurt that i won 30 bucks. everybody had their own little funny things going on - like a lot of the ladies at our table had several daubers to switch between, depending on their mood i guees. and there were a couple people who just had a thing for certain numbers. so anytime 22 was called out this one guy would blow on a train whistle (sounds like choo choo i guess...? amy had to explain that one to me.) when we first moved up here i saw a couple of ads in the paper for bingo at our local senior center and i've been wanting to go ever since. that's kinda the sort of thing you need an buddy for. i don't want to be the only non-grayhair. :) i haven't really met anyone up here yet that just strikes me as my future bingo partner, but maybe one of my friends is having the same secret thoughts. maybe i just need to start bringing it up in casual conversation...so you play bingo...? at old folks homes...? for money...?
