(no subject)

Spent a couple hours this afternoon vacuuming, mopping and rearranging things we have in storage. I'm feeling slightly better about life.

Lance is working on organizing things right now.

I'm leaving for Bunco at about 6:45. Don't really feel like going, but I'm making myself be sociable. However, if I win tonight, I guess I'm hosting next month's game. That's what Lance said. And we pay $10 a head, and that money goes toward entertainment expenses for the following month (presumably food). I know Bunco is a game of chance more than skill, so I'm hoping I won't win. I won't be ready to host next month. And the only time I played this game, I was Bunco queen. I won it all.

I promised Lance some Papa Murphy's for dinner, and he came home around 3 pm, not having had anything to eat all day. So I rushed out and picked up a pizza and made an early supper. I figured I would be eating tonight at Bunco and Lance can always snack later if he gets hungry.

I got the Pepperoni DeLite, but asked for it with half mushrooms, half pepperoni. It's on a really thin crust (which is why it's supposed to be 30% less fat and fewer calories). And then I sprinkled my half with Italian seasoning when I got home (I am obsessed with Italian seasoning and put it in damn near everything.) I have to say, we liked it a lot. The crust was really really crispy when it came out of the oven. Definitely more impressed with this pizza than I was with the last Papa Murphy's we got. I have some left to eat for lunch on Sunday, but Lance ate all the pepperoni.

The only thing I have left to do today is to finalize our grocery list for tomorrow. I need to find more meatless recipes that Lance will eat.

All Hail the Bunco Queen!

So I have a natural affinity for Bunco, apparently. Who knew? This is only the second time I've played, and once again, I am made of win. I won the first 5 games, and got 2 Buncos within those first 5 games.

I lost 9 games and won 9 games, but I got 3 Buncos total. And there were a few other people who also got 3 Buncos, so we had a roll-off, and I won that.

I do not get hostessing duties for next month's game. That actually goes to the last person who got a Bunco, which wasn't me.

I did, however, get a $25 gift card to The Cheesecake Factory. I also got one of the consolation prizes, since a few people didn't show up...everyone got to take one of those home. It's a big shaker filled with popcorn kernels and popcorn seasoning.

Anyway, I had an absolute blast. I was able to hold my own very well among people whom Lance knows a bit better than I do. Of course, they asked me where he was, but I told them that he stayed home to work on organizing the house. I'm sure they'll tease him for not being there. Even the Lt. Colonel was there, for crying out loud (and he got a prize for losing the most games...HAHAHA).

Good food. New friends. My perspective on life has changed a lot since earlier today.

(By the way, go buy the Roasted Caribbean Pretzels from World Market. Holy crap. So addictive. Everyone went crazy for them. I'm surprised there were any left.)
