The Help, by Katherine Stockett

Hi ladies,
Our March meeting to discuss The Help by Katherine Stockett was last Thursday at Z Tejas - if you weren't there, you missed some yummy appetizers and deliciously strong beverages.  You also missed the half-hour-long trip around the parking lot to find a spot to park, though, so that's an up-side.  Note for future reference:  now that McDonald's is open next door to Z, it's impossible to park on a Thursday evening.  Once we got in and got settled, though, it was a fun night of visiting. 
Things you should be aware of if you missed the meeting:
  • Mia cannot be left alone with a knife and a pan of corn bread - she simply does not know how to do it.
  • It's important that you know where all of your tampons are before having someone you don't know well get in your car.  Having this acquaintance pick up the tampons for you is quite embarrassing (particularly if it's a male doing the tampon-picking).
  • Likewise, make sure you don't have any accidentally-unwrapped tampons floating around where you keep your ink pens, because if you pull your pen out and it has the pull-string of a tampon attached to it, you might end up flinging that lovely cotton plug into someone's lap.
It was a fun evening and several of us shut the patio down, so that was fun - and on a school night!!  Such irresponsible, naughty girls!
