And She Called It "Game Night"
Does that look like "Game Night" to you?
I was at work today and that familiar song, "Who Says You Can't Go Home" by Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles started playing. Quick, grab my cell phone before anyone at work really notices. It was Mrs. Dallas K. She told me that we needed to get together so that I could pick up my Pampered Chef stuff and that she was having a "Game Night" at her house about 7. Cool! I thought. I really need to get out of the house.
So I leave work about 6pm, go home and change clothes and drive up to the K's. I walk in and Football Widow and MommyMe are there (along with three other people from a "Mom's Group"). It's like a little BlogBlowout Reunion.
Kami made chicken salad and we had sandwiches and chips and a wonderful oreo triffle (that she assured us was calorie free). Then came the bottle of YellowTail Shiraz, the Mike's Hard Lemonade and Limeade, Woodchuck Amber Cider and the Whaler's Coconut Rum. I think the alcohol was a supposed to calm the delayed reaction from realizing that we weren't "cool" enough to be invited to the Blogging Weekend in Austin last weekend. We quickly got over it.
Then we started playing. We played Boxers or Briefs and I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. After the game was over the conversation drifted to drugs, kids, mom's groups, saying things about your job (in Field A) when you don't know there is an (Field A) attorney in the room. I didn't know a lot about what they were talking about, but it was still funny. And no I wasn't drunk. ShutItUp ButterCup.
Then while the three non-bloggers left, the rest of us sat out on Kami's porch on a beautiful and cool April evening in Texas. I have to say I have finally arrived in Blogland because I finally got to be apart of my first two "DrunkDials," when Kami called Nate and TBG.
They started talking about a repeat performace of BlogBlowout this fall and this time it is going to have a "BigHair and ShinyShoed" twist to it. I can't wait to see everyone again and Nate has promised to come this time.
Since I actually wasn't home tonight, I guess I need to go watch this week's AI before everyone starts blogging about it in the morning.

It was hiding in my purse until you went outside. I molested the booze while they molested your BAMF.

ummmm - you weren't invited because it wasn't a "blog blowout" - it was 11 friends getting together in one place to finally meet face to face after spending countless hours over the phone and email throughout the past year. Have you talked to any of them on the phone or emailed (besides me)? No? Then that's why. Nothing personal - but it wasn't a convention - just friends getting together. Did you miss that in my post about it? Funny how this is the first negative thing I've seen about it - should I look elsewhere for more negativity?
