Holiday Party/Farewell with LPN

"Are you almost here?"

Grrr. Yes. I've "been here" for at least 2 laps around the rather large block but I can't find a place to park. I did however teach my GPS the difference between roads and pedestrian areas as I backed out a very narrow road with cars parked on either side. Of course this was after the thought of "I sure like this one better than the one I was using ..." Figures right?

Uncle Gianni to the rescue and a primo spot in front of the news stand was there just for me. Totally worth the risk of being on the street with the parking guy watching it rather than being blocked into the lot made for 8 (American sized cars) but currently holding way more than that.

I'm here!

As were lots (and lots) of the LPN members to unfortunately say good bye to a few of our members but also to celebrate the holidays. And that's what we did with pizza after pizza, Christmas karaoke, and the Italian version of Bingo.

That's right- Italian version. The cards were were handed had blank squares on them and only 5 numbers printer per line by 3 columns. To win you first only had to get 2 in a row. Then for the person with 3 they got a slightly larger prize...4, 5, and then all the numbers covered. Well my card stunk but my fabulous marathon training buddy's didn't and one won her a free registration to the marathon! We of course credited the win to G.Nome who was her good luck token. I guess he was sick of me and Alida at this point?
