What's been going on

 

I visited Benihana's for the first time ever

"twas a fun night celebrating Emily's birthday

Precisely 13 weeks after I sent this, my "Christmas parcel" arrived home in Dublin to my parent's house.  Great excitement ensued, and it turned out that everyone enjoyed getting Christmas presents in February lol.

My friend Katrina called bingo again at The Green Parrot (in aid of Sister Season)

Isabelle and I went along to support.  We didn't win Bingo but we did end up with plenty of jello shots so I guess we did win afterall??!

Bingo!

My friend Paul texted me last Monday morning to remind me he was calling Bingo (in aid of Sister Season) in the Green Parrot that evening.  I immediately said it to Patrick and we said we would go.  I knew he would.  Patrick loves bingo! Ha! You're thinking, why, it is a little old lady game?? Nah! Throw a bottle or two of Corona along with it and sure you could be in Caesar's Palace in Vegas.  Ok, I exaggerate a little, but it does kind of  feel like gambling and it is a bit of fun of an evening.  So, I have to say, also fun is that we kind of SUCK at it.  We never win!! Until this night when I did - and now we have a $20 gift certificate for Lost and Found bar.  Must go there soon... And finally, it is nice to support a community fundraising event.
