This evening I had dinner with three women I had never met before and one new friend. The new friend, someone who is the mom of my son's BF from daycare and someone who I've always liked, invited me to join in her brand new book club.
I used to be a part of a book club years ago, but it sort of faded out after a while - people started moving away I think or had kids or both. So I was very excited to become part of a new group and do two of the things I love the most - hanging out with fun, interesting women and reading books.
This first meeting we had dinner, we talked and got to know each other a bit, we decided our first book and we made a date for our next meeting.
Mostly we talked about our kids or kids-to-be (one woman is having her first baby in January), parenting, our parents, our in-laws, men, what baby stuff we had for the mom-to-be, the stress of packing lunches for our kids and our paying jobs. Oh - and books too.
