We played our very first game @ Marge’s new place. Everyone
thought it was lovely & had a good time. There were goodies aplenty! We
dined on all the traditional holiday fixin’s of turkey, stuffing, twice baked potatoes,
whipped sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, salad bar, rolls, cranberries,
other various condiments, with cookies & brownies for dessert! Just go back
&read that sentence again…we really do know how to eat well! We all left
very full (obviously) of not only great food, but holiday cheer &
merriment! Thanks again to Marge for such a lovely evening!
There were other goodies too…Marge not only passed out bagel
wreath ornaments, but she also cross-stitched a holiday cardinal that says
“Welcome to our home”. She gave it to the person that picked the lowest card.
That lucky sista was Spanky! She picked a 2. Can’t beat that one! I made card-themed balls for everyone &
cold preparedness kits (tea, lozenges, tissues & nasal spray coupons);
Phyllis handed out decorative holiday signs; and Patt had cookies to share with
the group. A notable Christmas miracle was when Kate passed her call so Phyllis
could call sooner! Wow! They say sometimes friendship is the greatest gift of
all…tear…
Maybe the good karma
came back to Kate when she won the first cover all of the night all by herself.
She also won a really fat 4 corners! The bra bag increased to approximately a
C-cup! Lori was noted to win a lot of centers throughout the night. At the end
of the evening, Debi won the final cover all by herself.
MYSTERY BOXES
I just realized it was a strange co-inky-dink that this time
last year, I won the holiday box & this year, I was the one giving it away!
The lucky winner of the December mystery was Peg! In one box was a microwave
s’mores maker (pour water into reservoir & steam will make the
chocolate/marshmallow nice & gooey). In box #2 was everything you need to
make the s’mores happen! Chocolate bars (milk & dark); graham crackers;
marshmallows & some hot chocolate to wash them down. This is gonna be a
perfect thing for Peg when it gets a bit chillier. Brew up some cocoa, melt up
some snacks & get cozy by the fire! Aww yea! I say…s’mores party @ Peg’s
house…who’s with me?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It looks like Patt won’t be able to travel much in January.
So, why not bring the party to her house! Gather up your carpool & head
over on SATURDAY, 1/26, 2013
@ 4:00. Please come in your comfiest clothes & bring
some cash to order food. Phyllis will be providing dessert, so you’re
guaranteed it’s gonna be delicious! After all the hustle & bustle of the
holidays, let’s ring in 2013 lazily!
NAUGHTY OR NICE?
That was a trick question…we were all VERY good this year of
course! Here’s who got what: Since Marge was hostess w/ the mostess, she got to
give out her gift first. She had Patt. You’d think this would be easy as she
knows Patt pretty well & all that. But! Patt was incredibly specific on her
choice of gifts. She wanted some Motown CD that’s only available @ Wegmans!
Marge frantically tried to find it locally & got a different one. As she
starts to tell the story of trying to find this gift, Patt tells her that Bob
has sent a package along. He knew exactly what CD it was, went to store, got it,
wrapped it & totally helped Marge out!
Patt wound up w/ 3 CD’s worth of travelling music! Patt’s gift went to me!
I got a gift card; sm bottle of vodka & coffee. Only problem w/ the coffee
was that it’s decaf. She picked up the wrong bag by mistake! Anyone who knows
me knows I think decaf is for pussies! She promised to fix it for me & have
new coffee next time! I had Kate this year. Inside the polka dot extravaganza
was a bottle of gingerbread syrup (for coffee or cocktails); Space Invader
drink markers; tiki head can/bottle cozies; a tiki decal; beachy votive
candles; and gingerbread tin full of cookies. Kate had Peg. She swore her gift
was in a Santa bag! We looked & looked and just couldn’t find Santa. We did
find a snowman…oh yea! That’s what she meant! After all that, inside the
snowman bag was a bag of chocolate donut coffee& bling ring coffee mug! Peg
was up next to give her gift to Phyllis. It was a Visa card to pamper herself
however she sees fit! Phyllis had Marge. Inside the lovely bag was a nativity
ornament (went right on the tree) & pot for her new kitchen! Looks like
it’s down to Debi & Lori. Lori’s gift to Debi was a bottle of pinot grigio
& dark chocolate. Debi also gave Lori dark chocolate along with coffee pot;
coffee & filters.
PSA – POKENO SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
It came to my attention during the game @ Marge’s house that
you ladies go through a LOT of water during our meetings. So, I’d like to let
you know that in the future, if you’re going to be a hostess, you should always
have bottled water on hand. Either that or someone should be a designated water
bringer that month as part of food/beverages. The more you know…
HO! HO! HO
Dashing through the snow
to Marge's house we go
with lots of gifts in tow
for everyone we know
It's time of year again
to fa-la-la with friends
don't laugh too hard
or you might need Depends
Gather round the table
maybe you'll be able
to win a bunch of dimes
many, many times
When the night is through
we will say "adieu" (to you & you & you)
see y'all in twenty thirteen
with love from the Queen (of hearts)
Until next year, may the foxiest bitch win!
