Rawarrrrr.....

Wow, we got BC in before the holidays, but then the holidays took over and here I am almost a month later finally writing the blog!

As always, it was a fun night of wine, friendship, good advice and good discussions.  This time we actually did NOT discuss the book "The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane" because for most of us, it was a busy fall and we did not finish it.

However, we did discuss the "spicy fire", how the Biggest Loser contests were down to "like 2 fat rolls", and how some of us wouldn't mind making puppies with Jacob (New Moon). We all admitted (right? or was that just me?) to feeling like dirty old ladies at times in the company of attractive younger men (boys?!). ("If you feel teeth, don't worry...") Oh my.

There was some intimate sharing of fudge between Joy and Amber and some classic misunderstandings: talk of the movie "Turtleman" (instead of Turboman), and how little Pierce is "Amber-dextrous".

A couple of other Book Club original quotes:
"If Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie break up over Jennifer Aniston, THAT IS my business!" (Referring to the ridiculous amount of media coverage on Tiger Woods affairs.)

"Hubba Hubba - only Down's Syndrome people and my mother say that!" So polically incorrect, yet so funny....

Talk also turned to the upcoming Christmas through a child's eyes and how we all discovered the harsh realities of Santa and then as adults we rediscovered how magical Santa and Christmas truly are.

Joy has offered to host our next book club where we'll discuss the "Physick Book" as well as our new book: "Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral" by Kris Radish. http://www.amazon.com/Annie-Freemans-Fabulous-Traveling-Funeral/dp/0553382640
It's about a woman who dies and asks her 5 best friends to take her ashes on a traveling funeral. I have started it and love it so far. I think it will spur some great discussion about friendships we've had, and how people from different periods in our lives know us so differently. 

As we roll into 2010 (already??!) I just want to express my gratitude for such an amazing group of women. I always look forward to our time together and get some of the best advice from you as a group. Thank you for making my abs and cheeks (the ones on my face) hurt everytime we get together and thank you for the regularly scheduled girlfriend fix. I love you girls and here's to an AMAZING 2010. May it be filled with love, laughter, joy, abundance in all things meaningful to you, and pretty young men -just to look at. :)  Rawarrr....
