Self control...

Today I am paitently waiting for March 6 to indulge in the following...

...Red Velvet Cupcakes (that's right I'm bringin' them)...


...our next book club selection by the person who dreamed up this character...



...a cold weather warm up...


...shopping for a fab vacation dress...



Get here faster Book Club day...

Fashion Show! Fashion Show! Fashion Show at Kristin's!

Warning: Non-book related material.

As you may or may not know, I am going on a holiday in 3 weeks and 3 days. You must know because it's probably all I talk about, sorry...it'll be over soon. Anyway, you also may or may not know that my bro-in-law is getting married there and that involves family pictures that will forever be cemented in a 2009 Dunham Family Memories Book. That brings a few thoughts to mind...

I need a new dress.
It's a recession.

Do you have a fab dress that you are willing to borrow or share? Perhaps you paid a bit too much for and feel a little guilty that it's beauty is just hanging there for no one to see? Beauty that could be forever cemented in a 2009 Dunham Family Memories Book? Bring the garment to Kristin's on March 6! I will be forever grateful to not add one more thing to the list of purchase items for this vacay. I swear I spend more on outfits, suntan lotion, and books than I do on the price of the flight.
Also, it's a dry wedding so there is a No-Get-Sloppy-Drunk-and-spill-on-it-while-doing-the-cha-cha-Guarantee!!!
Thanks Ladies...

Inside Out Girl

Hello...
How was everyone's long weekend? I have to say I did not get a lot of reading accomplished this weekend, but that is to be expected with a whole lot of children under the same roof. The drive home, however, proved much more productive on the reading front especially with a 2 hour delay at the border. Brutal.

So who is reading our current book? Who isn't? What does everyone think? I have to say that it is easy reading, but there is not a whole heck of a lot going on for me. I'm not quite finished so I'll hold my opinions until next meeting.

March 6 at KD's pad seems to work for everyone so far...keep it open!

Book Club Recap

Hello all...
Big thanks to Amber for Bollywood Book Club and the super delicious meal! I was going to try to recreate it for a Valentines Day meal for me and BD at the cabin in Montana this weekend, but alas, it will be a full house with 12 other family members joining us. Also, I don't think there is one Indian Restaurant in all of Montana to get some naan bread from, and it just couldn't be as good as Bubly's. Too bad we didn't have more success with The Thirteenth Tale but I think those of you that didn't read it got some pretty good reviews as incentive to!
I started Inside Out Girl on the weekend and hope to make some major progress this long weekend...there is no cable or internet at the cabin. That has been my major distraction lately, that darned laptop at home.
I am already looking forward to the next meeting...did we discuss it at Kristin's or did I make that up?

Book Club Friday

My favourite week of the month! Book Club week! This Friday - February 6 at Ambuh's place.
It has been a while hasn't it? Our attempts at informal book discussion at January parties was pretty unsuccessful. I have to say that BD thoroughly enjoys the company of all the Book Club husbands and fiances, which has made explaining plans I've made for us so much easier.

C - "We are going to ____ (insert event) this weekend."
BD - "What? You never told me that."
C - "Yes. I did. Twice."
BD - "Well...who's going to be there?"
C - "Book Club"
BD - "Sweet."

End of Discussion. It's SO nice!!

See y'all on Friday! Amber, let us know what time works for you...
