I was asked to substitute this week again for a group of neighborhood women who play Bunko once a month. If you don't know what Bunko is, it is explained pretty well here.
I have substituted quite alot for someone or another in this group these last 10 months. And I am beginning to know some of these women pretty well. I am actually beginning to remember their names! No. Really. I knew the names of the ones that are my real close-by neighbors, but put me in a room where I don't know 10 of the 12, and then don't see them again for a month? Well, I will remember what you like to do (especially if you garden!), and what you like (especially if what you like is my handknit scarf!), or what you serve for treats (especially if it is really yummy, and not the stuff from Whole Foods!).
But your name? What's in a name? Does not a rose by any other name smell as sweet?
I digress.
What I mean to get to is last night I won...I was The. Big. Winner.
Most Bunkos.
Highest Score.
2nd Highest 3's of a kind.
One only wins money for one category, by their rules, though, so I didn't walk out with it all.
Still felt really good, since the last couple times all I did was contribute to the pot!

Welcome...
...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.

Bravo! And I hear you on the name thing- I swear, I'd forget my own name if people didn't keep calling me by it.
Congratulations! (I had to check cake wrecks for the correct spelling!)
Well, you have always been a winner in my books!!Love, WS
I've never played Bunko but I know many people who have and just love it. I do enjoy card games. Have you ever played the domino game "Chickenfoot?"
Congrats!
Bunko rules! (I really need to find a group) I'm the same way with names. And if I meet you on the internet and then in person...I will only remember your internet name. Sad but true.
