When I started doing this a few weeks ago, my plan was to keep it to myself. I lasted about a day and a half before I told J. But, I told him he couldn't read it - that it was more like my personal diary. Next up, I told my mom. I showed it to her, but just so she could see the layout and the cute pictures of Georgia. Then, at my bookclub champagne fest a few weeks ago, I blabbed to everyone there, but wouldn't give them the address. Next, came a few moms in my playgroup. We were having a discussion and I was talking about feeling like I was boring. I said I'd found a whole new world in blogging mamas and other bloggers. They wanted to know more. I gave the whole thing up. By the time I got home, I'd been Googled and read - by someone I knew!
Well, I couldn't very well have a few people in my playgroup know and not my family, so I gave it up to my sister. Last night, J read it all.
Tomorrow night, I'll probably give it up to my bookclub. I'm hosting at my house, so the champagne should flow freely to the non-pregnant ladies. I don't know what my problem is, I guess I must want the traffic!
So, I'm going to just try to pretend that no one is reading it.
I'm so looking forward to bookclub. We're having a comfy theme. Everyone is coming dressed in loungewear or pjs and we're having all comfort foods.
Here's the menu so far:
- Rootbeer floats
- Grilled cheese sandwiches and Tomato Soup
- Chili
- Rolled up salami and cheese in a croissant rollup
- Pear Crisp
- Chocolate Chip/S'more cookies
- Hopefully, I'll get it together for Meat Loaf and Mashed Potatoes or Real Mac & Cheese
The bookclub host gets to pick the book. I'm feeling a little ashamed because it's been a long time since I read the book. It is really unlike me, I love to read. Lately, I just haven't had the bug. Too much Tivo, too much Internet? Whatever, it is going to change with this book! My group has the host pick 3 or 4 books and then the group decides on one of them. I will definitely be fasting tomorrow to prepare for all the yummy calories and champers.
Here are my picks:

Mmmmmmm - Have fun. I was just wondering whatever happened to book clubs. They seemed to be so popular a while back. It's nice to see that someone still does the book club thing - I miss mine!
