These internet ads are starting to get too personal. It was
weird enough when they were all about wedding stuff, but today I saw one for
Green Bay Packers manicures. How do they know I’m a Packer Backer? At least
they don’t know everything about me, because they think I get manicures.
Friday night Luxuli wanted to go to the Women’s Evening of
Advent Joy, so she was trying to round up women to go with her by telling us
that there would be crafts and refreshments. I’m not a very crafty person, but
who doesn’t like refreshments? Then I thought, hey, maybe the craft is making
Christmas tree ornaments, and that might be kind of fun. Anyway, another woman
and I said we would go with Luxuli. We got there and the promised refreshments
were not a disappointment; they even had vegan and gluten free stuff at one end
of the long buffet table full of treats. The crafts, however, were nowhere to
be seen, except for a couple of women making rosaries from cords at our table.
We had to do one of those ice breakers where you find something in your purse
that represents you and use it to introduce yourself to the rest of the table,
and one woman had Packer tickets. Then we had to vote for who had the coolest
thing, and you know what I would choose, but I was outvoted by the people who
liked cute grandbaby pictures. Then someone got up and told mildly amusing
anecdotes about her progeny, and then another woman gave an overly long talk
about Advent joy. So that was the Diocesan Women’s Evening of Advent Joy.
Afterwards I was standing somewhat in proximity to the refreshment table, and a
woman begged me to take a plate of leftovers, so I took them right to Rich’s
house. Why should he miss out on goodies just because he’s not a woman?

The (burp) treats were quite good indeed! Thanks for thinking of bringing some to my home!
That all sounds about as exciting as watching grass grow. But then you would feel the same way if you were in my cat gathering us talking about cats:-)
I would much rather have been talking about football than listening to someone talk about Advent Joy.
