but I’m probably not going to finish the book (what a surprise!) even though it’s really good. The author makes my house problems seem ridiculous.
Sarah rarely finishes any book we read, but she can always be counted on to bring a delicious dessert, despite her crisis-to-crisis lifestyle. Her biggest problem, in my opinion, is that wandering husband of hers. What irony—considering I’m an adulterer myself. Anyway, lately Sarah and Nate Sr. have been having money problems, which seem to have morphed into house problems. I hoped this didn’t mean they were getting foreclosed upon. What was tragic about the situation was that if Sarah hadn’t quit her high-paying job with Williams-Sonoma, money wouldn’t be an issue.

I want one of your faceless men, Rachel, so yes, paint more, but don’t take off anything else. BTW—hunky costume guy is finished. Am now officially single again and back on Cougarlife.com. Bringing white trash pigs in blankets (poubelle blanc porcine?) along with a few empty blankets for Kiki, ‘k? xJ

Re: Next Meeting
Loved the book. El cerdito en una manta in Espanol. Will bring camera to capture more of the Muffs in action.
This capturing of our book club meetings—for what, posterity?—was a relatively new thing. Vicki started shooting our gatherings, capturing the dramatic and the truly dull—mundane jabber about skin conditions, kid and husband problems, and gripes about reduced volume for the same price at grocery stores—when she was still recovering from breast cancer. Without question, the Muffs agreed to let her shoot us because she’d been feeling low, and we thought it would help her heal. But now that the last few tests had come back clean, a few of us felt we needed to get her another film gig—developing a script or shooting something that had nothing to do with us. For everyone’s sake. It was getting uncomfortable. I was even hoping the online dating might draw her away.

Re: Next Meeting
I’ll be there, speaking English, and will bring whatever’s needed. How ’bout chili fries in honor of white trash? Would love to hike, but I have a meeting for the non-profit so might need to buy, rather than make. Have exciting news to share re: the location for our gigantic fundraiser next month! ~L
Lauren is from the Midwest, and the kind of meal Rachel was envisioning was just her kind of feast. She didn’t work and would be hard pressed to take on a real job even if she needed to, which she most definitely did not after the big brewery sale. She has two young kids and is dedicated to being a hands-on mom. So what does a rich, philanthropically-minded woman do? Like I said, she forms a 501 C 3.

Re: Next Meeting
I’ll bring some delicious Grenache I just discovered. Quinn, what was that phone call from Japan about? For those of you who don’t know, Q called me from Tokyo to tell me Udi was at the airport. Do I need to remind everyone about the state he was in when he was removed from my house? What were you on?

Maddie always brings wine to book club, never a prepared food item unless she’s bought it. I’m not one of those who gets irritated by this because the wine she brings is always delicious, and when we go to her house, she never asks us to bring a thing; it’s a feast. Of course, she lives in freakin’ Agoura, miles and miles from anybody else, so she feels like she has to bribe us. As for the phone call and Udi, well, ’nough said.
Paige had yet to weigh in on the upcoming meeting, which was odd because she was sort of the Muffia’s mother hen—the one who kept the rest of us on track with dates, rules, who the next hostess was, and remembering what books we read, which would become more and more relevant as time went on. Not even
