My last stress is over!!! Bunko 2012 done!

The bunko bear is ready to be passed around:)
My dining room that I don't use as a dining room, until bunko!
I just wanted to share a little about my Bunko. We only have it at our homes 1x a year, so I am done, done, done!!! My husband helped me a ton because I always wait until the last minute for EVERYTHING!!! We pay 10.00 to play and we buy prizes with that money. I found some really cool canvases that had inspirational sayings on them, I included a gift receipt in case it wasn't their "thing". Also Bath and Body wallflowers and hand wash....love, love, love. I am a sweet pea girl! For the  3 lowest prizes I got Donut makers. I am so excited because I won one!!! Woo hoo...I am going to make some donuts! I may be wrong, but I would think they would work for most baked goods.
Coconut or Almond flour baked goods. I will let you know.
Food:) And 3 more people brought food!
Family room table, seating for 12 total
I had lunch with my gym friends and bunko at my house. Yesterday was a very Blessed day with wonderful friends. I am happy:) I really think this beautiful sunshine weather is helping a lot too. I love, love, love sunshine!
I had lots of compliments on my weight last night, that was inspiring and felt really good. This time last year I was "thinking" about losing weight. Thank God for seeing Jorge on Rachel Ray! He will be on Live with Kelly next Monday, I have the DVR set.
My weight was back down to 134.8 today, less than 2 lb gain. I will take it since I still am not fully back on track. Still sugar free even with bringing out my chocolate macadamia nuts from Hawaii! They needed to get eaten!
Today is finally movie day! My husband and I get to enjoy the day without having something else that we have to do. It feels good!
My thoughts and prayers are with Pattie and her family. Life can change in an instant. That my friends, is a reminder.
Blessings and happy scales!

  5. Kay, thanks for all the support over on my blog! You always say such great things! Your Bunko post has brought back so many memories. My mother used to play Bunco when I was growing up and I used to LOVE to fill in when someone couldn't make it when it was her night to host. Everything that you mentioned is the same! The prizes, the traveling object, the food, the three die! The best part for me was getting into all the neighborhood gossip! I wish my neighbors had started a group up around here. Also.. your house is gorgeous!

  6. I love Bunco too!! I wish I could get a group going here. That would be so nice! I've never been in a group that paid and got such lovely prizes - that sounds very intriguing. I am nervous about hosting at my house - I don't think my hubby would like all the screaming (well, neither would the boys. LOL) I had donut maker on my Christmas list, you lucky girl! I'm SURE I could make something with it! ;)
