“Great. Just great. One glimpse
of his body and I have a full-blown crush. I honestly thought I was a bit
deeper than that.”
Playing
to the books strengths, I decided to make this month’s theme “Welcome to
Stepford” fun and quirky as well. I felt that the idea of becoming the perfect
woman played nicely into the changes that Samantha went through after becoming
a housekeeper, and what else would the perfect housewives/housekeeper do
besides plant herbs and look fabulous doing it lol!! Although our Green Thumb
competition was only moderately successful it was still quite fun. Congratulations
and prizes were awarded to Anna for the best looking plant. We have however
decided that she cheated so a full investigation is being conducted by the
Thursday Night Book Club board of legal advisors and if she is found guilty she
will have to forever give up all bragging rights!! Just kidding Anna I’m just
bitter lol, your plant was very impressive. Equally impressive was Alissa’s
flowering paper plant.
To add
even more entertainment I decided that everyone should look the part of the
perfect wife. There were diamonds and pearls, heels and espadrilles and aprons
galore. Beth played the part beautifully and therefore became the recipient of
my other awesome prize.
This
month’s theme and book were in no way serious but just good old fashion fun. We
laughed; we smiled and had a great time. We didn’t all agree that the book was
great but one thing is for sure, I think we have all decided to plant raspberry
bushes!!!
As
always once the discussion subsided it was time to unveil the invitations and
book for the next meeting. I’m not sure everyone was excited by their homework
or culinary assignment but I’m hoping everyone will to have fun with it. So for
now I say happy reading and good luck with your clue investigation!
