Back to our group…It was exciting to finally meet each other face to face. Soon we were talking and laughing like old friends. Don't think we forgot you ladies who couldn't be there. We had a drink in your honor, and we called each one of you and left a very special "DAMN, YOU LOOK GOOD TODAY" message. Chris (ex-ACME employee) was so caught up in our fun that she yelled out, "I WANT TO JOIN TOO!!" A little later that night, Theresa (another ex-ACME person) announced that she also wanted to join. We were more than happy to welcome both to the group!!! I'll send out an official welcome email in the next few days.We had a great night. There was some drinking, a little dancing and a lot of laughs. Deb proudly showed off her man, and Seiko, who was freezing under the a/c, loved the overly warm restroom. When I told her it was time to leave the bathroom she said, "But it's so comfortable here." HA! Barb was the only one brave enough to feel Seiko's freezing toes, and Kris (the Queen of Guilt) talked a very busy Becky into making an appearance.
ME? Well I told the ladies to bring a lot of cleavage and they sure did!! The night was a great success that will be remembered for years to come. OH YEAH! We decided that next year's meeting will be in Chicago at the Oprah show!! More details will follow.
One last bit to add. On the drive back to Chicago, Seiko was chatting on the phone with Robin, her long time friend in Maryland. Seiko told her about the fun we were having and yes…you guessed it…Robin is now a new member. That makes 3 new members in one weekend!!! This is so exciting because you can never have too many DAMN GOOD LOOKING WOMEN!!!

What an amazing get-to-gether! You ladies are off to a roaring start! Very cool!!! Dare we say "Girl Power"?
Well, it just goes to show that no amount of time can diminish a great friendship. Maryann, if my memory doesn't fail me, the last we actually saw each other was at my wedding reception in 1996! And we had a blast Saturday night. Gary laughs at the mere mention of Seiko's name. She made a lasting impression. And it was great to see/meet everyone face to face.
I know exactly what you mean about friendship! The last time we saw each other was in 1996, but it was like no time had passed at all!!
AND SEIKO!!! What can I say about her? She's one of a kind!! Once you meet her you have to love her!! You have no other choice!!! It's impossible not to.
Have a great weekend!!
