**.. Wednesday Highlights ..**

Today I had to clean a house at 10 am.  I got done around 12.  Went to Target where the cashier was RUDE.  I almost told her she could put all my stuff back, but I had found my dads birthday present.  All he wants it's a remote weather gauge and I found a great one, I think!   I had picked up some snacks for Jason to keep at work and surprised him!  I went and picked him up for lunch and we ate at Panera.  My FAVORITE place to eat!  It was delicous as usual.

I ran home and got my stuff for school.  Went to my two classes for today.  Then I headed out to BINGO!

My dad suggested it this week and I was super excited.  We always decide to split whatever we win.  He hit a $50 pot early on and the second to the last game I hit a $100 pot!  I blogged about our bingo-ing adventures earlier over here.  (Thank you Abra for teaching me how to do this!)

I took my dad home and then called my brother and we called my sister to talk about my dads birthday gifts.  She was going to bed so Jack and I called my grandma.  Had a nice chat.

Now Jason and I are watching some television (scrubs) before bed.

Hope you all had a great Wednesday! :)

** .. b . i . n . g . o .. **

For the past year or so I have been playing bingo occasionally Wednesday nights at a local Legion.  Sometimes my dad or sister go with me and  every once in a while my mom and Austin (Alex's boyfriend goes too).  Jason normally doesn't go because he has to work and that kind of gives us some time alone too.

They hold this Bingo tournament every Wednesday with the Early Bird tournament starting at 6.  We always get there around 5:45 to sit together.  There are about 24 different games and it takes nearly 4 hours to get through all of them with a couple intermissions and prize give aways.  Each game is worth $50 - $100 and it costs $25 to play ($20 for newbies).  The final coverall game is worth about $650 each week.

Usually when we go we agree to split what we make to increase our odds.  Tonight me and dad agreed to share our winnings and Alex and Austin agreed to share their winnings.  Well Alex hit a $50 pot early on and that was it for our luck tonight.  There were 70 people there tonight which is quite a bit for this little place.  We had a good time though and I got to spend time with my sister and her boyfriend before they go back to college for the Spring Semester.  I always miss them when they go.

I also always try to get my dad to come with me because I think that it is good for him, since he has the TBI.  He struggles sometimes but I like to think that it helps and it gives us some time together.

So for all of you who always wonder about my bingo adventures, there it is!
