Hi ladies,
If you missed the January meeting at Anissa's, you missed great food, great conversation, and great outfits. I was stunning in an off-the-rack black nylon-blend blouse, a teal velvet ruched scarf, pleated jeans, and cowboy boots. My jewelry was faux diamond & crystal drop earrings, silver and teal bangles and teal rhinestone bauble ring.
I don't remember what the others were wearing.
Anissa served Funeral Food from the month's book club book, The Sweet Potato Queens' First Big Ass Novel: Chicken Shit, Chocolate Stuff, and Revirginators (special thanks to Lisa, who provided cranberry juice for these!). Everything was dee-lish and served up at the dining room table in beautiful dishes... just like a proper Southern mean should be! Farrah brought Pig Candy, which was sickeningly delicious. Bacon and brown sugar... really?? It's disgusting and yummy, all at the same time.
Also served up were some of these little nuggets:
Stacey's burning desire to get the hell out of our neighborhood and move to Crystal Falls, where nobody talks to each other. And that's the reason she wants to live there.
Suzy's philosophy against goodie bags at birthday parties (and frankly, her non-belief in birthday parties in general, since her daughter has yet to even have one).
Anissa's darling furry boot-topper cuffs (oh yes... she was wearing those!)
Kindle vs. Nook.... Sunday insists that Kindle won the competition, however she's on her fourth - or is it FIFTH one? I don't know. I can only keep up with the ONE nook I've ever had.
A local 80's band that plays at Shooter's in Cedar Park... Big Question of the Night: does the lead singer have JUNK? Yes or no? Stacey pulled up a crotch pic on her iPhone, which we zoomed wwwaaaayyyy in on and passed around for everyone to inspect. The consensus? Pardon the pun, girls, but it was a hung jury. We simply couldn't tell.
There was also talk of some disturbing activity at the Wal-Mart right here in our own beautiful Cedar Park, Texas. People necking in the parking lot, spanking the monkey behind the shrubbery, and some good old big, black junk hanging right out front. I personally find this all a bit of a turn-on, but the other girls seemed grossed out, so I played along like I did, too.
And since we can't seem to have a gathering without discussing Stacey's dog's anal glands, we were graced with that discussion... AGAIN.
So there you have it!
February's book is The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak. It is SOOO GOOD. Sunday will be our hostess and the meeting is Friday at 7pm. I hope everyone can make it! The theme will be along the lines of the book... think pea soup, wasa crackers, stale bread and such.
