| 4th gathering - a meeting of the minds and tears |
What an interesting evening. We had everything from extreme laughter that had one member reduced to tears and there may have even been a wee dribble of snot as well for good measure, through to serious concentrated concern and acceptance. All over coffee and one shared meal of spicy chicken.
As the evening progressed we learnt more about one members upbringing which was an amazing insight to a strong gal. As the subject is very personal nothing will be mentioned online. But can I say, you are fantastic so please never ever forget that.
As our journey is one of weight (I am guessing that over the past year between us all over 200kgs has been lost….so far), most of our chats will be around how we became obese and how we have now changed that direction and how we banished the obese person. Talking of being banished, I think chats about how we fall over and how some of us (being one of us) tends to let one rip as they fall. This is what had one member in tears, how can you be all serious and concerned when you are being told stories of falling over and farting while doing so or walking into poles and having a pole mark on the front of you for the remainder of the day. Next time, tissues will be placed in the middle of the table.
Oh and let’s not forget the Hilton pen being passed around by our dirty stop out member (hehe).
Happy Anniversary today (not last night) to two of our members – 15 years. Damn fantastic and by now our mascot would have received the very special poem so will have had a huge smile on her dial for today.
Note to oneself: Don’t wear the studded cork shoes as the tiled floor at the coffee club is like ice and legs going in opposite directions is not a very lady like look. Not only was there splitting of sides with laughter but also splitting of legs (sorry not like the dirty stop out kind).
Presents and cakes were discussed – the table was split with those who gift each other presents for birthdays and those who don’t and when I have my next milestone birthday – wooo hooooooooooo they are going to make sure there is a special birthday cake for me. It is now written in stone therefore it will happen.
How could I forget for the passing of the butterfly. Not as in dead but as in we got given a wee butterfly on a wire. Rings were formed and something else was formed (just a butterfly on a stand – yeap not exciting stuff….not like the creative ring). Anyway, if we don’t bring it to the meetings or we destroy it somehow then that person has to do something. We have not worked out what yet so maybe some fun suggestions would be in order. Not too awful but then again, not too easy.
