LOL. Sorry but I just had to start with that title because I was so astonished to realize that I am actually the youngest member of MAMAJUSAVI (at this time). Maybe I am heading into a mid-life crisis that I am so "aware" of my age these days, but the growing number of gray hairs sticking out of the top of my head may be influencing my sensitivity in this regard. So, I will enjoy being the youngest of any group, any time, since I know that this will not last. And besides, there are worse things to be (the ugliest, the dumbest, the shortest...DOH! Crap.)
Anyway, now that we've got that out of the way, let's move on to the minutes of the last MAMAJUSAVI meeting.
You know, jotting down notes on napkins is a regular habit of mine (and no, it does not go back to my single days), since as a writer, I find it necessary to document details in the moment, so as to capture them as closely to accurate as I can. I'm hoping the stains on the napkins from The Inn at Newtown (La-Ti-Da) are the BMG's or whatever that was Vicki was drinking and are not in any way connected to the notation I made on one napkin: BM's.
Anyone remember what the BM's was about?

Moving on. We covered the whole 'Do we let new members into the MAMAJUSAVI club?' thing, and it sounds like a unanimous vote that a second club branch may be in order, but there will be no new membership additions at this time. (Not that you ladies are not welcome!) It would seem that distance is the biggest factor in keeping our fab-oo club from expanding.
The second branch potentially can be the LILILI branch, otherwise known as the Triple-Li (not to be confused with Tripoli, which I think is some kind of Marine-related location, "From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Triple-Li...)

Guest members are always welcome, however, so Li, Li and Li, please drop in any time! But a word of caution: these meetings are not for the faint of heart. There is much talk of the dangers of too much sex ("Are you losing weight?"), raunchy biker jokes (rat chili) and red thongs (which none of us, I believe, are in possession of?)Future MAMAJUSAVI meeting excursions discussed included: spa night (mud facials, pedicures, and wine-- I'm in!); Pippin (dinner, and wine); movie night (popcorn, and maybe wine).
We did have a very interesting discussion that could lead to a patent pending of some kind of Mercedes face-slapper - it keeps you awake while driving... I am afraid I cannot decipher the napkin notes here so please chime in on what we may have been babbling about on that one.. It sounds intriguing in the light of day!
On a serious note, I do want to say thank you for indulging my inquiry on "memory," which will be a key component of my upcoming dissertation project. Sandy - don't forget to ask Ben if he recalls the conversation with me and Joyce about the motorcycle and the Mercedes. Maybe that is another book title... "The Motorcycle & the Mercedes..." I have a feeling I was the Mercedes but that is because today I am too chicken to Motorcycle.
Or maybe not. That IS one of the toys on my hubby's Wish List. But all I have to do is take one look at the divet in his knee and the scars everywhere else to remind him that the roadway is no place for his beautiful physique.
What else? The napkin says: Voice and it says Handwriting. I am not sure, but I may have been spacing out on you gals while making notations for myself, to be used in my future writing. But if anyone has a clue on those two little tidbits, speak up.Seriously, I only had two glasses of wine.
We did come to one general conclusion, and again, I wish I could recall the major discussion that brought this one to light, but basically, we said, "Men = Selfish."
We're not bitter. Just honest. LOL.
All in all, it was a really fun evening and I have to say, I really needed to spend time with my gal friends and to laugh like that. Life is hard, and having good friends to just "be" in your life is a blessing from God. Looking forward to your feedback on this post, and to the next MMJSV session. Stay well!

Mare, you take such great notes! I think you may have missed your calling. There must be a market out there for napkin note-taking and photo display. Could you imagine? You can start your own business. But, I digress. Since that whole night's conversation is now somewhat of a blur to me (and I only had 2 glasses of wine as well) I may not be of any help remembering further details. I do know that BM stood for "Before"-something. There was also AM but I can't, for the life of me, remember what we were talking about.
It was all so much fun and I haven't laughed like that in a while. You girls are too crazy! Looking forward to the next MaMaJuSaVi (and maybe some additional Li's?)
Mare--I'm laughing all over again!! I don't remember what "BM" stood for either. Julie thought maybe "before" something--was it before MaMaJuSaVi?? I also don't remember "voices" or "handwriting." A lot of help I am!!! I will remember to ask Ben about the Mercedes and the motorcycle. He remembers everything, so I'm sure he'll know what you're talking about. He's in Minnesota until Saturday, so I'll check with him when he comes home. Oh wait--was "voices" referring to the newspaper and the fact that Becky and Ben were in it for their respective graduations? Hey! Maybe I remembered something!! Anyway--can't wait until next time!!! Love you guys!!
Actually, I think the BM was "Before Mike" and "After Mike," which could refer to either MAI or myself's situation but I need to know the context in which we were speaking because it still means nothing...
