Mama's Bookclub

Top Row: Barb, Holly, Erika, Betsy, Anj
Bottom Row: Cindy, Sara, Jen, Catherine


I love book club night. I have a great group of mamas that I have been getting together with for the last four years. Last night we met at Barb's newly remodeled house and it is gorgeous. Barb is also a great cook and she made fantastic spaghetti. Erika brought good wine and we had a great discussion on the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, if you like young adult books and Vampires I highly recommend it. We also had a pretty good political discussion. I got to share my 15 seconds of fame as it related to my interview with a British Television reporter. A week ago today I was at the Mall of America with the kids and there was a British reporter doing a piece on the Republic National Convention, while riding the carousel. After we got off the carousel she asked if she could ask me a few questions about Sarah Palen. It ended up being a 15 minute interview, I've yet to be able to find out if they ended up using any of my interview but it was fun all the same. I've tried googling myself but no luck.


Last nights discussion was so much fun. We got to reminisce our first loves and crushes and Catherine got to tell us stories of her recent 20 year high school reunion. Not surprising Catherine knocked their socks off at the reunion in Holly's stunning dress. I wish I had a photo but last nights photo of all of us will have to do.

We also discussed the whole world of Face book as I mentioned that Mike and I became friends on face book yesterday. We didn't know that we each had face book pages so needless to say we were not even friends. I am happy to report that I am now Mike's eighth friend. It's about time he became friends with his wife! And watch out ladies I'm going to take that dare so if you don't have a face book page now you will soon! Grrrr



Here is to many many more years of great book club nights!

Re: the dress Catherine wore-- it is a super basic black dress, but CC made it look fabulous! Thanks for a great book club everyone!

That is so funny about you and Mike not knowing that each other had a face book account. That is something Trav and I would do. We sure wish we were going to be at the wedding this weekend. :( You will have to put pictures up on your blog. Miss you all tons!
