Sisterhood of the Traveling Plate

What can I say? My friends are brilliant, creative people. Kudos this time to Tana for her nifty take on helping the girls in our little group to connect through - what else? - food!

After watching The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, we were discussing the movie. For those not in the know, the movie is based the book by the same name, which is about a group of girls who've grown up as friends and their first summer apart. The day before they all split up, they're shopping in a second-hand clothing store and find a pair of jeans that magically fits them all, even though they're different heights, sizes and shapes. They decide to form The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and use the jeans to stay connected by forming a set of rules and sending the jeans to one another along with letters about what's going on with them.

Myself, I wished for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Bra (which would have to be magic to fit all the girls in the group I was with!), but that got laughed off. Wonder why...

Well, we kinda forgot about it. All of us except Tana. She took an orphaned plate nobody had claimed after a pot luck and decided to create The Sisterhood of the Traveling Plate. She created rules and set it in motion last Friday night, which is our new "Girls' Night" (postponed for this week). This Plate Sisterhood will allow us to share, taste and learn new recipes and give each other a pass-it-on kind of gift. The dish she made for Nancy to kick the Sisterhood off really looked yummy!

Tana was afraid we'd think she is a dork, but we love it. Good job, Tana! And if you're interested in duplicating the idea, she might be persuaded to share the Rules with us. C'mon, Tana!

Rather Be Trinity...

But this is close enough. I got this off of Anthony's Xanga site.

Neo doubts his ability to lead but doesn't want to disappoint his friends. His goal is for a world where all men know the Truth and are free from the bonds of the Matrix.

Birthday Flowers from Boo

My aunt sent me these flowers from Ken's Flower Shops, where I used to work. Aren't they gorgeous?! It has a lot of my favorite flowers in it. Good job, Boo!

I had wonderful times with friends and family on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights, but had to work and go to school yesterday. *snooze* So getting these beauties really made my day, which was pretty ordinary! A couple of friends at work also got me some little gifts, and another took me out to lunch Tuesday. (Thanks, Janice, Beth & Karen!)

I'll get to hang out with more friends on Friday night, and I'm looking forward to relaxing on Saturday after class. Tonight - I go to bed early!

Thanks to everyone who's wished me a happy 30th. I've enjoyed it!
