You know, this weekend sounds like a great weekend to get a hotel room at the casino and just gamble and drink all night long. Maybe do a little swimming, lazing, cable-watching, and maybe even some smoking, we'll see.
I was a hardcore Bingo fanatic a few years back. I think I was the only woman in the bingo hall with natural blonde hair and skin that didn't look like beef jerkey. Anyhow, I ended up winning $1000 one day. I haven't been back since. I do miss it, though.
Some pretty important people to me are missing in action, and have been for the past few weeks. What the fuck? Bermuda Triangle, anyone?
Can't wait to see the loop.
AND, I have to get started on my Christmas cards. You see, I'm not one of those people who just signs my name on a stupid card and mails it. I actually write stuff in them, personal, affectionate stuff. I just received a Christmas card in the mail and it looked like the handwriting of someone who had signed their name about 5,000 times and mine was 4,998. God, I felt special.
Which brings me to my next point. If you'd like a personalized Christmas card from me, Jessica Hensley, please email me your address at jesshensley@yahoo.com. Any info you give me will be promptly deleted and shared with no one. I promise.
Take care, everyone.

Hey Chicklets!
No you don't need to work on that,
Claire! Or else, if you work on it, then I reeaally need to work on it!
And Jess,
I love bingo too! Though I haven't been for years. Why'd you quit after you won, Jessica? Was it because you figured "Well, thats the big win, probably just took my odds way down for winning again"? Or just haven't had the time with the chillun's in your life now?lol
And that is sooo thoughtful, your way with cards. I agree on that, bigtime. I don't even buy cards for people anymore. I kinda don't believe in them ,for the exact reasons you stated. I use the couple extra bucks that I wouldve used on a card, and use it towards the gift
that I'm giving. Sometimes I make
homemade cards if I feel one is needed.I'll email my address to you,
and if you want a card from me, give me yours in a reply email. It'll either be a homemade card, or something less genericized.
Thanks for the sweet words at my blog.
xoxoLisa

Jess, I feel the same way about cards. Because I sit and do real notes/letters to each person, it takes me a long time. I started this past weekend and did all of my overseas cards. Last year, I only did about half my list!
I'm feeling very unstressed (see my blog today). Don't know why, but I like it.
I would love to exchange cards with you, but we should do it in person at the Bru. Also I am inspired by your list of things you'd like for Christmas. You deserve them. I'll see if I know any elves around your part of the Cities! giggle
Love,
Brina

You don't have to be old as hell to play bingo. You do, however, need to be able to tolerate a cigarette smoke haze the consistency of pudding. :)
We've got high stakes bingo here at tons of casinos. Come visit me!

Wow, they let you smoke in the bingo parlor/casino? Like the old days?
I know whan I briefly visited the midwest in the 80's I was shocked in the grocery store to see those standing ashtrays at the end of the aisles. Never seen anything like that before. I suppose we have the harshest anti-smoking laws out here in CA.
We can't smoke in bars out here. That law in particular got people really riled, but it passed anyway.
ooops, I think they do let people smoke in the regular gambling casinos here, but only because they
are out on Indian land, and being a sovreign nation, I spose they can make their own laws on smoking.

I remember my parents smoking while they grocery shopped. Wow. I also remember smoking in all the fast food joints. My aunt told me that in 1977 when she had my cousin, she could smoke in her hospital room. WOW!
Casinos here are smoking and there are non smoking sections, too. But that's about it. All bars and clubs in Hennepin County (Minneapolis and southern Minneapolis suburbs) are nonsmoking now. I would NEVER go to a nonsmoking bar.

None of us likes it, but say
Simon really DID come to the Casbah
here in San Diego, Or Rachel and everyone? And you, Jess, lived here?
And the circumstances were otherwise
perfect. Free and trusted babysitter.
Reasonable ticket prices. You'd go!
It sucks, I agree.But I could see you making the exception, lol ;)
