I can see people’s mouths moving, so I believe they are supsoanposed to have soundtracks. But all I get is dead air. spamword is merely 89, as in How many times have i commented.

Teri Brown, editor of the Portland/Vancouver edition of Northwest Woman Magazine invited me to a Book Lover’s High Tea this afternoon, which was supposed to celebrate the launch of their book club. The first book they picked? The Frog Prince by Jane Porter, a chick lit novel. I wondered rather nervously if Jane Porter had read my rant on chick lit; Sarah and I discussed whether I should’ve invested in a bulletproof vest.
But no, everyone was completely civilized and super-duper nice, and nobody I talked to other than Teri had heard of Smart Bitches, which was fun because I got to pimp the Smart Bitches and attempt to describe the Smart Bitch aristocratic titles that we give out as prizes. Have I ever mentioned that I love using the term “o-face”? ‘Cause really, I do.
And wheee, all the swag I got: free chocolates! Free books! Plus I won a gift card to Starbucks, which is beyond ironic because I don’t like coffee, but I do like their scones. Mmmmm, scones. Mmmmm, FREE scones. Anyway, I thought I’d pimp the magazine a little bit in appreciation of the fun time I had, and express amazement that someone would invite a potty-mouthed barbarian like me to a high tea. I behaved myself, though. Like I said, if I’m alone and in a strange situation, I’m generally quiet and polite so I can suss things out before sticking my foot in my mouth.
So glad you could come! You and Charity were getting along like wildfire, so cool!
I think it went over rather well… Did I look like the non social geek that I am?
Snort!

Harumph. I am so twitchingly jealous I cannot even tell you. However, Smart Bitch representation is all that, I must say.
Hey Teri, you looked great and did a good job. Would not have been able to tell that you weren’t the social type.
And Charity is an evil, evil woman. I’m surprised she didn’t hand a ruler to all the eligible bachelors she was interviewing for the magazine and say “OK, boys, here’s what matters the most: point out your high-water mark.”
I liked her.
So what I want to know is did you read The Frog Prince and what did you really think?
Haven’t read The Frog Prince yet, but I’m planning to put it on hold at the library once I finish some of the other books I’ve checked out from that fine institution. My TBR stacks mock me relentlessly.
