We've Traded Beaches For Bingo Dobbers...

We're not in Florida anymore kiddies...
Long gone are the days of Disney World, Universal, Beaches, Target, and any good shopping.

Say hello, to Bingo, bake sales, and barbeques.

My mom and aunts for the longest time have been avid bingo goers. It all started with my Nan (moms mom). You know a bingo betty when you see her. She got her bingo bag in one hand filled with bingo dobbers, chips, and lucky charms and her dollars in the other to buy snacks and get the most of of the game specials.
 
There are some hard core people out there too, ladies with a whole table filled with cards to get the best chance to win and win they will.

So last night on my Mom's regular bingo night, her and my 2 aunts go EVERY Monday,  Big Man had (he suggested!!) the bright idea that our unemployed asses should go and try our hand at some bingo money
Look at him dobber in hand ready to get his bingo on!
I was a little excited myself and as you can see always camera ready!

We were a little worried at first that Big Man wouldn't be able to keep up but after a little bit he was keeping up and even giving my aunts the business when they didn't hear one of the numbers called

Here's Big Man and Aunt C when their numbers weren't being called. Let me tell you my family and those older ladies get evil when they get set and then their number doesn't get called. I heard quite a few cuss words being mumbled throughout that bingo hall.

Everybody else at our table were lucky ducks and won except for Me and Aunt K. Hell, even Big Man won and he was barely able to keep up with his numbers at the beginning...
I've lost my fiancee to X-Box and I think I just might lose him to bingo as well...

If he purchases a bingo bag, I just might have to re-think this impending marriage...lol...welcome to my new normal!! : )

Fun! We did Bingo once years ago on a whim and it was a good time, but we never made it back. It's good to say you've done it. ☺

Nicole said...

OMG that's looks like so much fun! I just texted the BF to see where I can play some damn bingo in my city! Lol (he thanks you!) :)

Meg said...

Wow, Bingo! That is definitely a change from beaches, shopping and Target. Not sure it is something I'd be willing to trade for Bingo, but you never know.

It looks like Big Man is having a blast, but I am not sure if the marriage should go on if he buys a Bingo bag. What the f*ck is a Bingo bag? Definitely a Florida girl, lol.

LMFAO!!!!!

Ok, this is priceless in and of itself. The pics of you and Big Man with your dobbers is great.

However, I have a little story for ya....

When TG moved to Minne-friggin-sota, he spent his very first birthday away from friends and family. I called him that day to wish him a happy day and he was at work, doing production.

Later on the following week, we were emailing and I asked how the rest of his birthday was..... "A couple people from the station took me to play Bingo. You get to play one round for free on your birthday." Big fun for your 33rd birthday, lol. Then, he follows it up with, "These little old ladies are super serious about their Bingo. At one point, Bingo was called out and the 80+ lady sitting next to me muttered 'C**ksucker'..... Best part of my night."

Your photos are hilarious. I love playing bingo but that sounds a little hard core. You guys crack me up.

Samantha said...

OH. MY. GAW.

Between you and Brittan today I need an oxygen mask because I've laughed so hard.

And I'll not be taking my husband to a bingo hall because he is attached to his xbox too.
