APWBWGTTD June 12, 2008

Tonight was the monthly meeting of APWBWGTTD.  I had stopped by once before when the meeting was at Fox Bros.  They were out of Mac&Cheese and I vaguely remember a mini-hissy pitched by yours truly.  I’m pretty sure Dave thought I was a nightmare but – hey – I was pregnant and hormonal.  

Tonight’s meet-up was literally around the corner from our house at the Ujoint.  I RSVP’d that I would attend, having the best of intentions to actually post a couple of times between then and now to validate my appearance at said event.  Well – I think I managed one post.  I showed my face anyway thinking that if I didn’t go when it was in my ‘hood I would never make it there.   Everyone was very welcoming and I came away giddy.  Giddy that they didn’t care that I have been a slacker in the blog department.  Giddy that I could carry on a conversation that didn’t revolve around diapers or day care arrangements.  Giddy that I was able to have a beer, meet up with good people, and be back home in less than two minutes because I live that close to a fun little bar.  (Gainesville, VA – I’m not missing you one bit!)  I came in the door glowing with giddiness.  Kristen and Randy were having a hard time believing that I had only one beer.  I was that excited.  So thank you – APWBWGTTD – for being such a welcoming group.  I look forward to next month.  BTW - they got a shout out in the AJC.

On a completely UNrelated note – I made up a new word tonight.  I took Gnarsty (a word I learned from Kristen) one step further.  To describe the extreme gnarly nastiness that was the kitty fountain prior to today’s cleaning, I created the word Fugnarsty.  Trust me.  It was more than appropriate.  Poor kitties.
