January 2010

Happy New Year everyone! We settled in to play our first official game of the year at Kate’s Tiki Lounge. Even though we only had appetizers this time, we still had plenty to stuff our faces with! Crab nachos, spinach dip, pepperoni/cheese/crackers, monkey bread, salsa dip, fruit, won tons & mini quiche. The food sucked! HA! Just kidding…I just felt like saying something other than “it was delicious” – like I do every other month! Kate wanted to change it to a “sweatpants party” at the last minute, but when she saw us all rolling up with our bling on – we decided to save the comfy clothes for next month. It was funny because nobody was really dressed up, we just all happened to show up in pants, cute tops & sparkly jewelry. Phyllis’ choker was so sparkly that it was a distraction to those sitting across the table from her!

There were 3 way flushes all night! Seriously…it got old after a while! Let’s try to not have that happen anymore…ok? Remember how Kate got a cool new magnetic chip/wand combo from Debi last month? Well, she did...and it was a good thing she did because she was throwing/dropping chips all over the floor all night! Lady luck was with birthday girl Patt when she was the big winner at the end of the night winning a cover all on her own.

WE’RE ALL HEART!

This year, our Valentine’s party will be held at Phyllis’ house. Be there on SATURDAY 2/27 @ 6:00. Come in your sweatpants, jammies, or most comfortable outfit. It’s may be a V-day party, but we all decided we still wanna be super comfy this time. Nothing wrong w/ being comfy I say… Phyllis will be making Chicken Alfredo for our main dish. The rest of the menu will fall in place sometime between now & then.

MYSTERY BOX

Not only was it our first game of the year, but it was Lori’s first time to bring a Mystery Box! The big winner was me! The box was a bit heavy & wrapped in snowman paper (that should’ve been a clue to the theme). Inside, it was stuffed to the max with snowball cookies (in snowman tin) – plus plates to share, tote, platter, snowflake tablecloth & other various snowman decorations.

SHOUT OUTS

#1 - Here’s a big shout out to Patt for celebrating a birthday this month! Hooray!!! Unfortunately, when I packed the many bags for our Christmas party – I took the tiara out to make room for other stuff. So, Patt had no crown to wear. Please see my artist’s rendering of her on the side bar over there. That’s what she may have looked like if I had remembered the crown.

#2 – Peg had a big announcement for us. You might remember a few months ago, Peg announced that Ophelia & the Mystic Seahorse were expecting their first child together. She was pleased to announce they had a lovely baby seahorse. Her name is “Jewels” because she’s covered in tiny pink crystals. I’ll have to take a photo to post here next time.

HELP WANTED

As I’m sure you’ve heard by now (but may have forgot), Marge & Peg are currently out of work. Both Penn Fish & Peg’s patient have shut down permanently. Since the best place to find employment is through networking, I’d like to post a note right here to remind you that if you hear of anyone looking for an experienced secretary/office worker – you can refer them to Marge. Or, if someone is looking for a stress relieving massage/home health aide – please refer them to Peg.

RANDOM FUNNIES

It’s All Sticky! Lori brought a tasty cocktail to the party. They were called “Cowboy Cocksuckers”. As you can imagine; this lead to a bunch of snickers & chuckles around the table. At one point, Lori spilled hers all over her card & it got all sticky! When the words came out of her mouth, this just led to even more chuckling around the table! Probably wouldn’t have been nearly as funny if it didn’t already have such a bad name!

Hold On…What??? Another first for the Foxy Sisters… Early in the evening, we were settling in. For some reason there were like 3 conversations going on at the same time. Imagine! Being the “voice of reason” this time was…Phyllis??? Yes, she actually told us we were being too loud!

WTF??? While reviewing my notes from the party in order to assemble this month’s Rag, I came across the following note… “Waltzing bitches? Long flowing locks – nice dresses”. Can anybody remember what that was about? I sure as hell can’t! This is probably right around the same time Kate was talking about “Pink Warriors” & I was laughing so hard, I was hyperventilating! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Ahh, I’ve finished the first Rag of the year! One down, 11 more to go & then start all over again! Until next time, may the foxiest bitch win!
