September 2009

This month, we hung out @ my house. I decided since we have to dress up next month, that I’d keep the September party super low key/no frills. We ordered takeout from my local pizza place & stuffed our faces. Kate brought a variety of chips, Phyllis made an Italian appetizer, Patt brought some fruit concoction & I made chocolate PB bars. If you ever leave out of here hungry, it’s your own damn fault!

Everyone showed up on time. We finished up around 10-something. On the first cover all, Debi hit a super-fat 4 corners & the cover all by herself! So much for the hostess luck – I guess that streak is over with. Everyone was in a pretty good mood, feelin’ mellow. I’m pretty sure a fun time was had by all. You could actually feel the love!

MYSTERY BOX

Peg was responsible for the September Mystery. What a great Mystery it was! It finally went to Patt after 3 picks & a sudden death show down. We all agreed this couldn’t have been a more perfect person to win the Foxy Survival Kit. Peg started off with a beautiful card about friendship. It went downhill from there. After opening the first few items & cracking up, Patt said, “I can’t go on! I’m gonna pee myself!” She didn’t actually pee herself & managed to continue opening her goodies. Patt noted that since she’s such a “pin head” she’ll never be able to put together such an extravagant Mystery to compete w/ this most recent gift of Peg’s. I’m sure whatever Patt chooses to do will be just wonderful! Again, please remember - no pressure!

HALLOWEEN PARTY

Can you believe it’s (almost) Halloween already??? We will be having our party on SATURDAY, 10/24 - 6:00 @ “The Queen of Halloween” (Phyllis’) house. Unlike the toga party, you will NOT be able to miss her house this time as she will have the biggest, craziest stuff all over her lawn. She’ll probably have the cemetery fence up. Just don’t get confused & wander over to the REAL cemetery across the street! Please remember that costumes are MANDATORY! Last year was so great, I can’t wait to see how everyone’s gonna dress up this year!

We managed to discuss some food. Menu so far is Mummy Dogs, Bat Wings in Blood Sauce (Chicken Parm), Spooky Pasta, Caramel Apple Bars, Vampire Cupcakes & some other various scary appetizers.

PUT YOUR THINKIN’ CAPS ON

I know, it’s only September…who wants to think about Christmas? Well, you’re gonna have to think about it. We will be picking our Secret Santa’s during the Halloween party. So, I’m asking you to think of 3 things in advance so you’re not stumped while you’re sitting at the table. I’ll pass out slips during business & we can draw during our halftime extravaganza. There will be a $25 maximum. Gifts will be exchanged @ our Holiday party. This year to be held overnight in beautiful Delaware! I know most of you have been good girls this year so think real hard...ok…not THAT hard – I can smell smoke coming out of your ears…

SUPER SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Just a reminder to you all…I will be bringing a very special guest w/ me to Pokeno for the next 7 months! Ian & I are very excited to be bringing another rocker into the world. Here’s hoping that this pregnancy/delivery is a bit easier than the 1st one was! I’ll be sure to keep y’all updated as I go through the process. Thank you in advance for understanding my moodiness, emotional craziness, extra pigging out, etc. over the next few months. I might have to take some time off toward the end or after delivery (depending on how I’m feeling), but I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

The best thing about this announcement has to be how I broke the news. After trying super hard to keep a secret to be able to tell everyone @ the same time, I realized some of you already knew my news. I planned an elaborate speech during the business portion, but that morning, I decided to do something even more fun – I took a picture. My favorite has to be the look on Peg’s face! Lori & Phyllis look surprised too. Lori told me after that, I’m never gonna be able to take another group photo because they’re gonna think I have some big news. I assured everyone that this is the last kid, so I’ll never be dropping that line again!

RANDOM FUNNIES

What’s it Called? Someone said, “I got ALL five!” Yup, that’s called a FLUSH! I guess we should be thankful that they had 5 instead of 4!

Lamest Excuse Ever! Someone couldn’t call their center “because of a full mouth”! Please note, if you are experiencing “full mouth syndrome” during game play, you may use charade moves to get your point across. Feel free to wave your arms, jump up & down or whatever else you feel will get you 5 seconds of attention to take your pot.

And that will wrap up September with a nice little bow. It was a bit short this month. I’m sure there will be lots of fun stuff to write/read about next month from the Halloween party. So, get to work on your costume (if you haven’t already) & I’ll see you @ Phyllis’ “crypt”. Until next time, may the foxiest bitch win!
