I'm back!
We had a great time exploring the Grand Canyon and living large in Vegas.
One of my favorite things to do is people watch.
Vegas just might be the all-time BEST place to do so.
My parents joined us, which allowed Candy Man and I to "go out" one of the nights we were there.
How sad is it that we decided to stay at our hotel and play Bingo?
Don't answer that.
Did you know that Bingo has gone hi-tech? Yep, you sign up and they give you this nifty machine which has all your "cards" downloaded and it let's you know when you've won.. {which I did, by the way, $50, thankyouverymuch.}
I know what you're thinking, "What fun is that?"
Surprisingly, really fun.
And, much less stressful.
I am always worried about being the ass that yells "BINGO!" when I've made a mistake.
The machine tracks all that for you.
While you drink free Coronas.
But, if you insist on rolling old school with the paper and the daubers, they still allow that. Not sure why- as the chance of an faux bingo is much more probable, but I respect your bingo decision.
So, enough about the Bingonater. {my name for it}
Let's talk about the people.
The blue hair.
The smoking. Good Lord. I've never seen so much smoke in one place.
The gold jewelry- a ring on each chubby finger.
The polyester pan suits.
The "bingo bag" full of daubers, Virgina Slims and lucky Virgin Mary statues.
Yep, we hung on the senior side of Vegas.
It was so nice to be the youngest, hottest chick in the room.

Okay, now that you're back, let's plan the night out!
And Yay for Vegas...I've never been there, but you painted a lovely picture for me! High tech Bingo sounds like FUN!!!
And I LOVE Bingo!
How was the grand canyon? Jeff wants to take the kids there on a vacation one of these days.
I just saw that Adrian is giving away a Macy's card via Fishful Thinking. I haven't seen anything like that on the site. Am I missing a portion?
Is it OK to announce your tag line winners on my blog tomorrow as a part of my post?
When I come to work, I am one of the oldest nurses here (I am 35). Try being surrounded by a bunch of cute 20-something nurses all day.
Can I come to senior Bingo with you?
And the hooker, I mean people, watching - YOWSERS!!
Glad you had a great trip AND won some money!!
As long and you can handle being beat by one of the churchies, that is.
Glad you had fun! Can't wait to see pics!
Glad you had a good time in Vegas!
We are considering going to the Grand Canyon in September. I hope you post pictures!
Ahem.
But we will NOT wear polyester. Instead, we will wear velour track suits.
And...if you think Vegas has a lot of smoke, check out Honolulu on the 4th of July. WooHoo!....now that smoke. You can't see your family, friends, what have yous, right there beside you.
Hope your day has been beautiful.
Glad you had fun though. B12.
Welcome back.

My grandma is a pro...at bingo...and I go play with her when we visit. She sets me all up, tells me whats what and then I don't look like a bingo virgin.
Never win though :(
