Happy Birthday Rosie!


It truly is a miracle that we, who do NOT meet often enough, can pick right up where we left off and be such a jolly and loving crew. Our God is good.

Rosie arrived right on time and was a bit flummoxed to be first, and to be the only for awhile. I assured her that you all would be right along and so we visited for a bit. Within 5 minutes of one another, the rest of you arrived and with a surprise - Athena.

She fit right in and we made short work of the plans for the wedding food. It was unanimously decided that Tina could be the boss and that Cyndi and Rose will do whatever they are told. No promises were extracted from yours truly, but I can be counted on to keep us on our toesies.

Upon Athena's departure, we popped the food in the oven and focused on the reason for our celebration: Her royal highness, Princess Rose. She loved her presents, especially the handy-dandy, multi-bit, girly-handled screwdriver.

(Parenthetical statement: I am getting really ticked off at not knowing how to do these pictures. They will not go where I want, and the whole shooting match behaves in a manner inconsistent with my limited knowledge. If the blogging gets snarky from here on out, that is why. Dangnabit!)


We had a great Mexican food lunch, the highlight of which, if I do say myself, was the flan. I know that I finished mine, and at least two of you did not, or was it three? At any rate, there was plenty for Princess Cheryl, who soon will not fit into her pants because she eats too much and Tina has abandoned her to exercise alone and life is just not working in that department, but I shall cease from mentioning it further, as I feel aforementioned snark coming on.


We did not watch Mamma Mia. Maybe another day. That's OK. A good time was had by all and we shall meet again soon. Goodnight, my lovelies. I am exhausted. Cyndi, I need a tutorial!

The Plan

Here is the plan: We meet Wednesday at 10:30 at Cheryl's to celebrate Rosie's birthday!

Cyndi and I decided on a menu. We are going Mexican because that sounded good to us on the phone. I think we were both hungry, and the first thought of everyone bring a salad just didn't do anything for us.

So Cyndi is making flan for dessert and I will do a taco salad. Rosie is the guest of honor and therefore may not bring anything.

So, Glenice and Tina, could one of you bring a main dish, like enchiladas or such, and the other one do super nachos (with guacamole, of course!)? Talk amongst yourselves.

Kinda bossy of me, I know, but that is the prerogative of the hostess (says I).

Tina can stay til 2 or so, and if it works we can watch Mamma Mia and break up about 3:30ish.

See you then!

Wednesday, January 21st

I've been watching the blog and no one has commented on the change to Wednesday. I need to reschedule a massage if that is a go, and will probably do some phone calling tomorrow. See the comments on the last post. - Cheryl

January Get Together

Cyndi reminded me that we have a date set for our next get together - January 20th. It will be a celebration of Rosie - if she is here. (And we can celebrate her even if she is not, but it would be much more fun with her presence.)

Rosie - are you here?!?

I know this is a Tina ski day. Are you willing to skip the slopes, or do you want us to change to a different day? And Glenice, are you able to exit the tundra and do you have the day free?

Check in YaYa's. It's time to beat the January blues with a YaYa Love Fest!
