The Dynamics of my Bunco group

Ok, yeah, I hear you. Bunco is an "old lady" game. I thought so too. But, not anymore! First of all, these women are freakin hilarious and have more balls than most 20 year old boys I know. And, second, they can act a fool and laugh about more than anyone else. Besides, it's not about the game. The game is the excuse. It's about the fun, wine, and crazy ass stories. So, here are the dynamics of my bunco group (which never cease to amaze me).

Jennifer: She is the "leader" of the group if you must pick one. She prints out the calendar for everyone to sign up for their hosting spot. She sends out the bulk emails and makes sure everyone is accounted for. She also is loudest, funniest, and usually the winner in the wine drinking contest. She's got two kids, one in college and one in high school. She's crazy about planning things. Event planner extraordinaire she is. She also is the winner of the coolest sex story ever: She and her husband went out and got drunk one night. The next morning, he told her that that was the best sex they had ever had. She has no recollection of this...apparently they had sex in the closet when they were undressing. It's a joke we bring up almost every time we see each other!

Jamie: She is such the motherly type. 2 kids, tennis player, just a petite pretty blonde. But, on our girls trip to New Orleans, she got the most trashed and was actually sick the second day we were there. She was the trooper who got the grain alcohol purple drink on Bourbon street...again! Rock on, Jamie!

Vicki: She is the crazy, adventurous one. You have to love this woman. She and her husband have a fabulous relationship and they are just so adventurous in the things they do together. She usually comes up with some great ideas for the girls trips and nights out!

Danielle: She is one of my best friends...enough said! She is is the youngest, except for me. The not-so-over-the-top one. Kinda takes it as it comes, but certainly has an opinion about everything...and is not afraid to share it.

Shari: This woman cracks me up. She is so sarcastic, only you would never know because she can keep a straight face and not let on to anything.

Karen: This tiny lady has 2 kids and is a mother before everything else. She's also the one who always has something to sell...but it's usually some good stuff!

Ruth: Reserved. Disciplined. But, funny as hell. And, she has 4 kids, so she has some good stories to share.

Wendy: Now, after first meeting this woman, you may consider her a bitch or just anti-social. She's the type who has that sarcastic eye-roll that speaks volumes. But, after getting to know her and getting into a convo with her...you will learn that she is dependable and has some killer wit about her!

So, that is my normal bunco crew...if you ever run into any of these people, just laugh--they all have an awesome sense of humor.
