bingo on the bay

Every Wednesday night Prickly Bay Marina has bingo and it is so much fun!! A group of SOs were going while Mom was here so we went down to join them.
For $20EC (about $8US) you get to play 3 rounds with 5 chances to win each! that's 15 chances to win!
horizontal line, vertical line, diagonal line, X, and coverall.
I was close a lot.... and Mom ended up winning once!! yay!

It was such a fun night with good company that we ended up going back to Prickly on Friday night for the steel drum band and the retro rock band.
oh and pizza. don't forget the pizza!

Bingo night!

 oh and Cremee Brule!

dancing crazies 

come back Mom!!

LIMES SHOE GIVEAWAY!!!

I have been so busy I've let my blog get away from me!! ah! I have so much to write about...
I think I'll start with the LIMES SHOE GIVEAWAY!!!

It was a huge success and actually tomorrow we will be having sort of a shoe giveaway take 2!  Several kids came out of the woodwork that I recognized but didn't have on our roster for class.... and we had money left over from the donation from CSA so I went and bought some more shoes!!
We gave away about 80 pair on Wednesday and probably have another 20 pair to giveaway this week!!

Each child got two pairs of shoes, school shoes and a flip flop or croc!!

I fortunately met the extremely nice owner of Suchi Enterprises downtown who gave me 12 pairs of shoes for free!!! I was buying so many and he wanted to give me a discount.  It was so nice.  The store is on Gore street just to the right of the market, so go there if you need any shoes :)

Also! Lee was able to get pizza donated to us!! FREE pizza for all the kids!! It was awesome!  They were so happy!  (There was a huge pizza fiasco with our Limes beach day, which I just realized I never wrote about either! I'm so behind!)  So thank you to Glovers for the free pizza!!

ok so now for pictures of the happiest kids ever!

Happy Halloween!!

For the past few years I have had a party to go to on Halloween, either at home at Ellen and Aaron's or the Beaux Arts Ball at MVNU... this year however. no party. unless you count the kids fall fest or the party at the local bar, neither of which excited me.
so I had my own!

mind you I live in a less than 400sq ft apartment. so I could only invite like 5 people.  just enough chairs for everyone. lol

I wanted a party to dress up and decorate and eat!!
so that is what we did :)

welcome to my party!
I'm a watermelon smoothie. duh 

 Lee is thinking Arby's 

Decorations!!

the pop bottles are my favorite! & I came up with it all on my own, no google or blog inspiration. haha
just a little electrical tape, nail polish, and twine. and wa-la!

The food!!

scary pizza.

bones and blood.... aaahhhh

witches brew. with a frozen hand.


I will update on my other blog soon about all the "how to"

Halloween is so fun! 
now onto CHRISTMAS!!!!

AVATAR

Wednesdays are half price ticket days at the movie theater so tonight I FINALLY got to see Avatar.....
I LOVED avatar.
I usually don't just hop on board with all the movies everyone loves... but WOW it's so good.
The colors and the details are just so incredible...I just smiled the entire time (before they started fighting and dying) because it was so beautiful. the imagination that came up with those colors and scenery... whoooooaaaaaaaaaa
I can't believe that in 2010 we are still making such advances in movies.... this must be like what Wizard of Oz was in the 30s or something...... what will movies look like in 2050?

so.... about the theater. we got tickets for both of us for $22EC which I think is around $8USD... the theater is small, but nice for a 2nd world coutry I'd say.
they had AWESOME popcorn! and we got peanut M&Ms to go with it..... perfect movie food!
Pop corn and candy was $7EC, so that's like less than $3!
I want to go there everyday and just get popcorn.

Before the movie we were planning on going to Glovers for pizza... Glovers is on campus, right down the hill from us but I've never had their pizza. I love pizza, I crave pizza alllll the time.
I crave lots of things... daily I have a craving. I wonder what I'll be like when I'm pregnant....
anyway... so since we don't have an oven, I can't make pizza here, ever. so I really wanted it tonight.
we get to Glover's and I order at large cheese pizza, which is $32EC around $12US
they say...."oh no, no pizza right now" and I'm like what?? and they said they have a big order for something else and don't want to take orders for pizza......................DANG IT!
not "sorry, but if you'll wait x amount of time you can get pizza" hahaha.... but that's the way things roll around here... customer service is not a priority at all. neither is time.
so we left. and got chinese food from the chinese lady who sits at the bus stop. she lets you sample her chicken before you buy. that's customer service. and it was AWESOME.  I crave chinese too. so does Lee.
I had chicken with some kind of sauce, rice, and pumpkin or squash or something good like that.
Lee had the same chicken, low mein, and some kind of beans.... and we each could only eat like half, so we'll have it for lunch tomorrow.

and we wait for EVER for the bus tonight..... I'm not patient.
and I went to the beach today and found some really cool shells.
