MONDAY NIGHT!

Monday August 31st- 8PM @ Angels! Be there. Bring a light jacket if you wish. Come, eat, walk, sit, talk, walk back or drive with me. We are gonna have fun.

I'll text you- unless I dont have your number! :)

Hooray!

we dont want to leave echo out! she's club president and CEO of books and broads, inc.

anyone have a problem with thursday the 3rd? or there is always monday the 31st because 8PM shouldnt cut into FHE time right?

thoughts?

ok broads

angels and beach walk it is! and not a wednesday for sure since that is a conflict for many- i LOVE the bonfire idea but that is against the rules in these parts these days :( and it's not gonna be an all night kinda thing anyway- just a meet up and chat and then get back to our homes kinda thing if that's cool with everyone!

sooo, how about this:

Tuesday September 1st (before your trip nat if you wanna come!) at 8PM meet at Angels

those who want treats can get them but make sure it is something you can eat as you walk because once everyone has their stuff- if the weather looks nice- we're heading out to the beach. we'll walk from the shopping center down to temple beach and then on to hukilau where I will have my van parked with blankets and we can sit and chat for a bit on the beach and then those who need to get straight home can hop in the van with me after and be dropped off and those who'd like a little more exercise can head back to the Foodland parking lot by way of the beach... but I should have room for all if everyone needs a lift. i could even do two trips or whatever.

it may be kinda dark, but not too dark for a walk at least. the moon will light our way and we'll be in a group together. i love a night beach walk. and you may want to bring a light jacket if you think it will be too chilly for your taste. :)

if it's nasty weather we'll just stay around the shopping center or reschedule.

sound good? anything i'm overlooking? if not see ya tuesday @8PM at Angels!

glimpse your calendars will ya?

when should we meet? YOU DIDNT READ THE BOOK????? COME ON PEOPLE!!! just kidding.

let's meet anyway (but you should read the book. it's so so great. really.)

howz about the very beginning of september and rachel can announce her book selection then- sound good?

and we arent meeting at my in-laws house. i'm thinkin a night beach walk or a night time trip to angels (yum) where we can sit on the new (and very necessary???) slab of concrete right outside and the topic:

being a little better.


that's a theme that ran through my mind as i read the book.

so to re-cap: beach walk/sit and chat on towels or trip to angels at the beginning of sept. and discussing being a little better- whatever that means for you.

whatcha say?

haha!! it finally came today!!

my book. and i have already read some pages and cannot wait to read more. worth the wait so far!!!

Thanks for the invite!!!

:-) Glad to be a part of the group. Let's get reading! ;-)

if you're still waiting to get your copy of glimpses

here's a little quote to get you started from the middle of the book:

"As I watched some of the young mothers come in to this meeting with young children, restless from meetings that have preceded this one, I think I felt something of your frustration and challenge to be the perfect mother. Relax. There is no such thing as the perfect mother who fits all the eulogies. We just do the best we can with the help of the Lord, and who knows, these children who are struggling to be free may someday rise up and call us blessed. The trick is to enjoy it. Don't wish away your days of caring for young children. This is your great day. Sometimes we get so caught up in the physical work and trivia that we forget the big picture. We forget whose children they really are. When the house is filled with children, noise and teasing and laughter, you get the feeling this is forever. Before you know it they will be gone...... The rewards of mothering are not immediate. There are times when you are less appreciated.... Then there's the unexpected hug, when you least deserve it. And while you are enjoying these days of mothering, be sure your demands on your children for perfection are not so heavy that they cannot be children."

-given on a mothers day sacrament meeting

thought this was a good quote to review myself before heading off to church today. i'll try to remember it as ambrose begs for "pears!!!" in a football field voice as they're blessing the sacrament. ;)

hope you can get your copies soon and we can meet at the end of the month. i want to do something a little different this month. we shall see!

melissa,
did you happen to get your copy in the mail yet?? i ordered mine the same day as you from half.com and still no book. i know it said it might take a while, but i'm hoping it comes soon before the month is up!!
