Mid Month?? Julie & Meriah to let us know when, where & what

Meriah I liked the questionaire are you going to be playing the trivia with our answers at this mid month?
Julie are we holding at your house again??

We did not discuss the tattoo at all due to the heavy book discussion so we should keep proding away at this too.

Those are my thoughts. Let us know when mid month will be.

April Meeting Minutes 04/29/12 "Don't Breath a Word"

Another successful club ladies! Maren those panini's were to die for!!!! I am still craving more lol.

BOOK: Don't Breath a Word
Excellent book. It really spark a great and lengthy discussion on many associated topics, here are just a few to recap:
-Do you believe there are really Fairies?
-Do you think Pheobe was a product of fairies in a dark man?
-Do you think Gene is half fairy or just inbred?
-That's one fucked up family!!
-Phyllis did that to her own daughter!!!!!
-Did you realize that Sam and Phoebe are related???? Thus making their baby a product of incest?? Think about it; Grandpa was Pyhlis's dad, Sam's grandpa; Pheobe's mom did grandpa(Teilo) having pheobe thus making them related...........

DUES DISCUSSION:
We discussed dues breifly and unless Julie has a problem with our vote we shall hold this rule in place. We decided that sick people should still pay des as it really only helps the club out. We SHOULD NOT have double dues for sick days. Julie do you feel dues should stay in place even if you're sick? We figured it contributed to the main cause so it was beneficial. Let us know.

DUES:
Maren & Julie owe $5 for April & Current dues for may= $10
Everyone else is current.

MAY MEETING: JULIE's PICK:
BOOK: "I'm Down" by Mishna Wolff
MEETING: 05/27/12 Does anyone have an issue with this date???????????
M= Julie
D= Maren
Sa= Tristana
Si= Ali
D= Meriah

Keep up the words for thought, random writings and postings gals, peeps are diggin it. Love you and had a blast last night!!!!!!!!!

Just Writing......

DESCRIBING ONESELF
By Ali Scontrino 2005
                Describing oneself is kind of a broad request. There is no one page that can describe me, let alone any other human being. Even the most drab, boring character has endless pages of stories to tell. To put down who I am in this page would be like cutting off my whole being. There is not one story that forms my personality or one experience that has changed my life.
                Some of my life does not need to be told for these parts of me are mine. Other details are not enough to let someone grasp who I really am. I am simple yet complicated. I am impatient and independent. I work hard to achieve anything I have or will need and I get no charity from anyone.
                My individual story is that of many complicated spider webs mashing into one another. It would be easier for me to write a lie and say I was abandoned as a child and brought up by wolves. I am but another face in an endless crowd of faces. My uniqueness is only to be held by those who stick around for the next chapter.
                So who am I to the unsuspecting reader? Just a mystery.

Birthday Dinner for Maren

Hey Ladies, So next tuesday we should take Maren out for her bday. We had discussed this Tuesday but as she is celebrating with family we come second....lol. Anyways I can meet for dinner at 6pm on Tuesday. If we do an early dinner I can meet from 2-4:15, I have class at 5pm to 6pm so i could spend more time after 6 but early is good to.

Maren where would you like to go??? Are you still on the Red Lobster kick? If so we can make it happen for you girl. Everyone needs to proactively respond so we can plan this out. I am also thinking of renting a van or having someone drive us so we let loose. Let me know your thoughts.

Simple abundance SLACKERS

For the record this is Tristana s book pick. She could have changed the, totally random, from the hat pick many times. This being said I know none of you are reading. Fine, we all got shit we are dealing with. So please bring something to the table for TRISTANAS meeting. Whatever you are reading please prepare to discuss, summarize and answer questions, if you are not reading then read something. Read ahem and prepare to discuss.

But I tell ya, as slacker as I have been I have read and been inspired by not all but many of the one page paragraphs we are assigned to read.
