Bunco bitches.  I'm officially a huge fan.  Friday night was spent at my gf Mona's house playing this amaze game, which required zero skill (bonus).  Wine, snacks and the ability to laugh real loud without a child waking up made this evening so much fun.  Additionally, all the ladies that participated were wonderful company (meaning didn't suck).  I am 110% a shoe-in for this once-a-month game.  



The topics discussed at Bunco are listed below:
1.  landscaping, and by landscaping I mean personal hygiene
2.  dating
3.  booty calls
4.  diamonds
5.  divorce
6.  raising non-asshole kids
7.  makeup/skincare
8.  how women rule so much more than men



We went from topic to topic in the most fluid of ways.  (Also, Mona had this amazing snack mix from Target that included dark chocolate espresso beans.)  Though this group of ladies was a tad bit older than me, we had everything in common.  So Mona, thank you for being such a gracious host and sharing your friends with me.

If you haven't already-- find a group of chics that are legit, like to have a few cocktails and start rollin' the dice.  You wont regret it.

PART TWO:
Does anyone else think its weird this whole "Making Of A Murderer" is such a craze?  If you haven't already binge-watched this Netflix docu-series, let me fill you in (Cliff Notes version):

"Making a Murderer details the life of Steven Avery, a Wisconsin man whose family owned an auto salvage yard in Manitowoc County. In 1985, Avery was arrested and convicted of the sexual assault of Penny Beerntsen, despite having numerous alibis. After serving 18 years in prison, Avery was exonerated with the aid of the Innocence Project, when the DNA in the case was matched to another man guilty of crimes in the area. After Avery was released from prison in 2003, he filed a $36 million civil lawsuit against Manitowoc County and several county officials associated with his first arrest. Soon after filing the lawsuit, he was accused of the murder of Teresa Halbach, a photographer who was last seen on the Avery family property to photograph a minivan for sale.
Making a Murderer explores issues and procedures in the Manitowoc County sheriff's department that led to Avery's original conviction. It suggests the county officials had a conflict of interest in participating in the investigation of Halbach's murder. Brendan Dassey, Avery's nephew was also accused and convicted as an accomplice in the murder. The series depicts his trial as well." 
(compliments of Wikipedia)

The fascinating part of this show is how people are responding to it.  Facebook has everyone asking the question "do you think Steven Avery is guilty?"  I wish people showed this much interest in the presidential race.
