BING-NO

So my fourth Meat Bingo has come and gone...and I'm still a loser! After all the seafood I ate last week, I really needed a meat fix this weekend. We started by grilling some burgers (and some leftover shrimp from work) at Kristin and Mark's house. It was great hanging out with the family and Aunt Betty and Uncle Rod. The Manfriend was able to come too, which was great...and finally got to experience "The Club." Although it wasn't as crazy of a night - we still had lots of fun. Danielle won the first round (which she was part of a tie), and Kristin won the $50 cash game, which was also a tie so she had to split. Here's some pictures of the night...

Here's the winner's...and me

Some others



So...today I got to meet some more of the Manfriend's family. His aunt and uncle came to visit from Haverhill. Now, I've completed 6 lessons of Pimsleur's Greek course. I can say everything from those lessons and I can pick up some words here and there. But I have a bone to pick with the Pimsleur people. I've learned how to ask where Amaleus Boulevard and Victory Street are, BUT I have no idea how to say things like "nice to meet you" or "wow, those are nice shoes." I find myself surrounded by Greeks lately and not one of them has mentioned Amaleus Boulevard or Victory Street. Honestly..."Then-men-yazzey po ine ee-oh-those." I have NO idea how to spell these words, but that basically means "I don't care where the streets are."

I'm also a little nervous to speak the Greek I do know in front of his family. I'm afraid I'm gonna mess up and tell someone they look funny or something. But I had a little chuckle today when the Manfriend's uncle was talking about an oil change and he mentioned something about pathetic oil. We realized he meant synthetic oil, giggled, and I still said nothing in Greek. I'll start speaking it soon enough.

But for now...Kahyeenixis <-- That's close enough to good night!

Chow!
