HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We played our first game of the new year @
Debi’s house. This was our comfy happy appy party. After the weather people
warned of possible snow on Saturday, we went about our “emergency preparedness”
guidelines & wound up rescheduling the party for Sunday instead. Marge was
in NY & Peg was a no show because she wasn’t feeling well all week. Some of
us came in comfy clothes. Apparently, everyone but Phyllis & I saw the
notes where I told you to wear jammies/sweats. But, everyone was comfy anyway!
It was an incredibly relaxed party. Thanks again to Debi for being such a
wonderful hostess!
We took the first 2 hours to stuff our faces with crab
balls, dumplings, a ham ring, red velvet cupcakes & other assorted goodies.
We finally started playing @ 5. We did our first cover all @ 6, when Lori &
Kate split the winnings. We had our last cover all @ 7. Hostess luck was w/
Debi on this one. She won all by herself w/ 6 cards left to be called! Kate was
on a roll again this month winning centers all the time. She thinks her new
coin purse she got for Christmas is “lucky”.
Patt noted that she cashed in all the dimes she won at the
Holiday Party & had $32! She took her new found cash (stolen from their
sisters…) and put it to good use to supply liquor for a weekend at the beach
house.
MYSTERY BOX
The very first Mystery of the year was Kate’s
responsibility. The big winner was Lori! Inside the bag were a very sparkly
foxy rhinestone pin & a shirt that read “I’m too old for this shit!” We all
got a good chuckle out of that! Lori was so excited about the shirt & said
she’d wear it for our next party. After we wrapped everything up & headed
for home, she realized she left it behind! So, I guess she’ll have to prepare
another outfit for the party instead. Debi, please remember to bring Lori’s
forgotten Mystery to our next meeting!
ERIN GO POKENO
After much discussion & calendar checking, we just
couldn’t all agree on a date that would work for February. So, we decided to
skip it all together & go straight on to March.
We will have our St. Patty’s party at Spanky’s house on
SATURDAY, MARCH 8TH @ 5:00. Once again, we’re going to try for a
“comfy” party. Please come in your comfiest outfit (jammies, sweats, etc) &
hope the “luck o’ the Irish” is with you! Phyllis will be serving ham &
twice baked potatoes, Patt’s bringing pineapple pudding, Peg is making
cheesecake, Lori’s providing salad & I’m bringing tomato mozzarella
skewers. If you can think of something you’d like to bring, please let me know
& I’ll update the menu.
FINAL THOUGHT
There goes the very first blog of 2014! I hope everyone
enjoys their month off. Even if most of that time apparently will be spent
shoveling or keeping your kids occupied on all these snow days… Until next time, may the foxiest bitch win!
