Gay B-I-N-G-O!!!! Woot Woot!!!










Last night I went with friends to Gay BINGO, a fundraiser for the Lifelong AIDS Alliance. After raising our daubers in our right hands and taking the Bingo Pledge, promising to "remember this is just a game", the BINGO was ON! However, no one at my table won a single game. I know we were supposed to have fun and retain some perspective that this is a friendly game for charity, but c'mon...my table didn't even get to think about yelling BINGO. With one thrilling exception -- during the Blackout game, Paul was just an O-75 away from the big win of the night (darn, that professional photo shoot could have been his!).

Stacey's Baby Shower







Saturday was my friend, Stacey's, baby Shower. I met Stacey two years ago when she was a counseling intern in my office. Now, she and her husband are expecting their first baby at the end of March. It was fun to celebrate with Stacey and some of my co-workers. We wish her all the best - she'll be a great mom!
