Ok, let's try this again...

Sorry all- it seems as if I've dropped the ball. Looks like tonight would have been the best night for everyone to get together. I have a new idea since we are all so busy. Let's just set up a standing GN, then whoever can come, can come. And whoever has to miss, we'll catch you next time. OK? So, we can have it at my house, Zhipi's, and I know Natalie and Heather have volunteered as well.

It seems like Friday nights work well for all of us since we have help from Husbands and don't have to work the next day. So let's start with a standing GN on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month. That would make the dates for November 11/13 and 11/27. Since Thanksgiving is 11/26, let's skip the 27th. December's dates would be 12/11 and 12/25. So...we'll just meet once in December as well. But in January...we'll be able to get 2 meetings in- 1/8 and 1/29. So, here's the list of dates, please let me know if you'd like to host one...

11/13
Location: Karyn's House- 13026 SW Ascension Dr. Portland, OR 97223...park along the rocks
Activity: Dinner, Drinks & a Chick Flick on the big screen

Activity: Last Minute Holiday Shopping????

Hi Ladies,

Feel free to invite a friend, bring a snack to share, bring a favorite game and your swim suit and towel if you want to take a dip in the outdoor pool. If we have enough gals and if there is an interest, we might play BUNCO! Bring $3 for the pot just in case.

Our 1st Girls Night

Last night we had our first PDX Girls Night! Thanks to Zhipi for hosting & providing such a yummy spread. :) I had a great time and can't wait to do it again!

For those of you new to the Girls Night (GN) concept, in California we met up every week and rotated through each other's houses. If someone was not up to hosting or they felt like their house was too far away, they would plan a movie night or dinner out or both. I know that meeting once a week is probably too much for us mommy types, but I was hoping we could start a every 2 or 3 week rotation and gradually give everyone the chance to host.

I was thinking of August 7 and 28 for the next 2 Girls Nights, how do those dates work for you guys? Also, who would like to host? Leave a comment and let me know!

I'd like to make us all administrators of this blog, so that we can all post to it and communicate that way. We can even use it to set up play dates, shopping or lunches out, with each other in between GN's. If you want to know what's going on, just check the blog. That way we don't have to send a bunch of emails back and forth throughout the group with reply alls and all that drama. :) Your inbox will thank me...trust me!

I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you better, see you soon!

Karyn
