Baby It's Cold Outside

Sorry for the random title, but I was trying to go for a play on words and it turned a little wonky in my mind. Oh, yeah...the word I was going for a play on was chili because there was lots of chili here. (Cold...chilly...chili...get it? LOL) I threw that in there just for Missy. (Guess you know Missy didn't write the blog then...) So on to the menu:

Chili
Chili w/ Peppers
Taco Soup
Chicken Enchilada Soup
Brownies w/ yummy goodness mixed in
Pumpkin Roll
Mike's Hard Pink Lemonade (Special for Breast Cancer Awareness Month-October)
Fuzzy Navels (Wine Coolers People - I don't even want to think about everyone's navel ok?)
Coffee
Aqua

Friday Night Chickas In Attendance:
Crissy - DUH, it's her house she has to be here...well except for that time they were late coming home from the beach
Amber
Heather Nold
Heather Davis
Jada ( Heather D's friend who snorted after some kinda joke...oh yeah, when we were discussing why Ty isn't short for Tyrone. See Jada we told you it would be in the blog.)
Missy
Melissa
Wendy
Elizabeth
Kim Poston (phoned a friend about an injury so she was here via satellite...sort of)

Hmmm....so we don't really have a quote of the night or a website of the night this time. We didn't really touch a computer much tonight. With the exception of looking up an episode of Big Bang Theory, which if you haven't watched you really should because it is funny...unless you are a nerd and don't like being made fun of for being a nerd, then you shouldn't watch the show. The show airs on CBS, but apparently you cannot watch full episodes of this particular show...so you'll have to be old fashioned and actually watch it when it airs live. (Since when did watching a show on tv at its actual air time, commercials and all, become old fashioned? Hmmm, yeah I don't know either but it did.)

Topics of discussion tonight:
Post Partum Depression
Struggles with children
Things women sometimes aren't told when sent home from the hospital after giving birth.
Epidural side effects - Shake much? Ewwww, I don't feel so good.
Lying - who knew your kid was sorta smart if they lie
Paddling Kids
A Cool New Invention for Moms (We can't tell you about it because we haven't sent in the patent for it yet.)
Ty is not short for Tyler or Tyrone
Kidnapping (scary!)
Scary Car Lady
Mug Shots
Traumatic Experiences from Childhood - like being told you're fat, or you have big ears, or you can't sing, or ___ ____ ____ (you fill in the blanks)
The Origin of "Friday Nights"

And many other topics I can't quite recall. As the attenders of Friday Nights, we feel lucky to have this outlet to discuss all these crazy topics knowing whatever we share is free from judgment. How many women do you interact with on a daily basis who have such great friends that they can call to share just about anything and know they won't be judged for it? Yeah, I don't know too many people who have this special community either, but isn't it great? Can you imagine how different the world would be if all women had a Friday Nights group? Hmmmm, lets ponder that for a moment. I'm pretty sure Oprah would be out of a job. (That or she'd host Celebrity Friday Nights.) Anyhow, we feel lucky, more sane at times, and we had a lot of fun . A lot. So I'm off to watch an episode of The Big Bang Theory...(Crissy has a disc from Netflix.)

Ok. No mystery tonight. I, Crissy Sharp, am posting tonight. We had a slower night tonight. Fun but more low key. We'll take care of housekeeping first.

Menu:
Beef Skillet Fiesta
Chili
Chips and Salsa
Pumpkin Roll (Go Wendy!)
Coronas with lime
Coffee

Attendees:
Me (obviously)
Kim Poston
Wendy
Whitney
Heather Nold
and... drum roll...
Heather's friend Angie

Now onto the commentary: It was lovely meeting Angie. We've all heard about her before and now we have a face to go with the name. She was everything I expected a good friend of Heather's to be: friendly, witty, funny, etc. She made us laugh. (Angie, if you're reading this, I hope your flight was perfect... with or without the drugs.)


Our youtube clip of the night was chosen from the many that we watched. We laughed until we cried. We revisited some Brian Reagan clips that were particularly delightful. (ie. flying) But for the most part we watched Jim Gaffigan clips. A big shout out to KimHill for the FYI. So our clip of the night is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9c9lAfXQHs Watch and enjoy!

We didn't really discuss websites tonight; so no new websites. But you can always visit www.failblog.org if you're needing a fix. Keep the kiddies away until you've previewed.

Our phrase of the night was "Stand down wind." You just had to be here to appreciate it. But it covered everything from smells to cremated ashes. Good times.

It is now... lemme see... 11:30 pm. Whitney left over an hour ago. Heather and Angie have been gone for a few minutes. Kim just walked out the door. Wendy's headed that way. It's been a good day... Missed you if you weren't here! Come next week. Seriously.

Best of all is our quote of the evening: "The Rock IS the Antichrist." Of course, this was said for effect.

There was a conversation involving glitter, but it's better left unwritten. ;D Suffice it to say there were many jokes and lots of laughing involved. Yet another conversation involved feline nervous habits. Very funny.

Enough entertainment for now. Sleep beckons.
