Friday's Fabulous Five (Sign Me Up!)

[courtney]

Is it Friday already? Hmmm. Well, we all know what that means! Welcome to our favorite way to end the week here at the Cafe: Friday's Fabulous Fives.

As I sat down to type this up, I started thinking over all of the recent "going-ons" around here at our favorite addiction. Lots of new changes and new faces... Anyone else simply adoring that great big red box in the message center that talks about a specific little dreaded button? And what about Groups? GROUPS! I'll have you all know that, thanks to the new group feature, I am reading a new book for a book club, dumping the trunk with humor, loving myself in five ways (not at all as dirty as that sounded), and composing sonnets on the fly. Eventually, I plan on taking up scrapbooking, miscellaneous crafts, celebrity gossip, soap operas, and social activism.... By next year with ya'll's help, I'll be ready to take this one woman circus on a nationwide tour!

But , seriously, there's a new cafemom group for every and any type of interest! Be sure to stop by and find one or two (or twenty) to join!

I give you Friday's Fabulous Five: The groups I'm still waiting to see...

1. Mechanic Moms Unite

Okay. We've been through this a thousand times... Dads can be Moms. Moms can be Dads. Men don't necessarily know how to fix things, and women don't necessarily know how to cook. Any job a man can do, a woman can do. And vise versa. That being said, my transmission is acting a little funny on the mini-van. It kind of "burps" every now again. Oh, and that little bibbly-bob thingy started beeping again. Help.

2. She-Ra Fans Anonymous

Obsessed with the super fabulous Princess of Power? This is the place for you! However, SFA is an elite group and only offers memberships to those who can answer the following question: How come She-Ra (Goddess Extradonaire) never hooked-up with He-Man? (Oh! And that trip to Arkansas doesn't count.)

3. Boogers on the Couch

Got boys? Then you've got boogers. A group that shares fabulous tips & tricks on how to embrace the "grossness" of parenting and use those nasty little things for special craft projects. This week, we'll discuss how to use those smelly gym socks that you found hidden in the back of the closet for removing rust stains from your shower. Next week, the health benefits of eating the big ones.

 

4. The Merry Widows Club

Upon initiation, The MWC promptly sends you out a welcome package containing a recipe for fabulous Trunk-Baked Potato Salad and a detailed pamphlet on insurance laws. Life-long members also qualify for the infamous  "Alibi Buddy" program.

 

 

5. We Love Courtney.

Wait. There's not already a group for Courtney lovers? What's wrong with you people?!?!

 

 

You know the rules!!!!

So... your turn! I want to know what new groups you'd like to here at the cafe. Make your list long or short, sane or not, but, most importantly, make it fun.

Have a great weekend, Ladies!!!

Sign me up for the Courtney group... And can I join Merry Widows for soon-to-be-but-not-wuite-yet EX husbands?

Sheesh Court - you crack me up. Seriously, I needed a really good laugh today.... and since I'm already feeling like I'm drowning in the group thing....

I'm not sure if I can come up with five of my own..... Hmmmm.... I'll have to work on that. I see a lunchtime project today..... bwahahahahahahaaaaaaa

The groups I'm still waiting to see...

1.  We love Courtney.  While I would love to see this group, I do not want to be the one to start it.  That would be like psycho fan stuff right there!

2.  Get your hands off the peni.  (is that the plural for penis?)  We have husbands and sons and we say it all the time!!  Get your hands out of your pants and quite playing with your penis!

3.  We Got big boobies.  We all have back pain and need more support....lol

4.  I married an idiot.  And I got their king!  We all think are husbands are dumb more often than not.

5.  My vagina is on fire!  A group for STD survivors. 

Yeah, that last one might kick up some dust but it's funny!!

Bout time you got this posted!  After all the drama this week it's time for a good laugh!

Ok..

Smart Ass Club - Are you the type that looks at the journals and comes up with a smart ass answer for every one of them on the first page?  This is the club for you!

I Hate Rachel Ray Club - If that woman says "Then you get the EVOO...Extra Virgin Olive Oil" one more time I'll reach thru the screen and STRANGLE HER!  What's the point of using an abbreviation if you have to explain it EVERY SINGLE TIME???

Moms of Penis Pullers - If you have a boy, whether they be in diapers or puberty, you can join!

Bringing Frumpy Back Club - If you ain't bringing sexy back...you can join.  I'm prez!

And last...but certainly not least.....

The I Love Courtney Fan Club - If you love her posts, agree with her mostly, admire her courage, her way with words, her sense of humor and her glasses you can join too.

Ok I hope I don't have to post this with a disclaimer that it's all in fun.  I can't wait to see what yous guys come up with!

you know, i was gonna do a we love courtney group, but i thought you'd all cry "psycho!" and toss me outa the cafe!  i'm happy swappin stuff on whispered words.  that'll fill the gap.  oh, and aren't She-Man & He-Ra brother & sis?  i did used to watch it a lot...

1 - yeah -  i think i could run the Mechanic Moms club, but i already spend waaaaaay too much time on here.  i don't think i can run a board tooo.  ooh- or maybe a Tool Time with Ta-Tas!  home improvement for chicks!

2 - Spelling R Us.  hello!  there is a spell check feature on every comment box, journal post and mailbox.  i will admit, i don't run the thing every time, and occasinally a stupid error will jump out at me after i hit "post" but i'm talking about the people who always spell the same words wrong, can't get their homonyms in order and their posts are really hard to read b/c there's an error every couple of words!!!  (abbreviations not included).  i guess i'm just picky.

3 - Moms of Tweens.  not quite teens and definitely not little kids anymore, these kids have mouths and attitudes and hormone rushes too.  just without the whole serious "boyfirend/girlfiend"  drama attached.  how was i supposed to know that the molars come out too??   scared me to death the other night...i actually said "oh my god!  did someone hit you in the mouth??"

4 - Shoe Fanatics of America.  how many pairs do you have in your closet?  come gripe about the sales lady who could not remember the size you wanted and tell us how much those heels cost before that red dot sale! 

5 -  Trailer Trash Recipe Box.  all the recipes you never did find on the label.  tuna helper with peas!  home-made campbell's chicken noodle soup with corn added!  baked beans on toast!  coffee with creamer!    (this was not intended as a slur of any recipe i've seen on here, nor of anyone's particular housing.  i'm just playin)

OK, here we go...I'm not sure I'd join all of these, but certainly some... you guess which ones...

GET A LIFE CLUB - For those who have the made urge to reach through the computer and smack some idiot for the stupid posts/replies. Perfect sister club for the Smart Ass Club, by the way.

REALLY, GET A LIFE CLUB - For those who need to be smacked. They can come here and spout nonsense all day without fear of being told to get a life.

CLUB WHINE - Need I say more?

CLUB BITCH-A-LOT - Not a club for bitchy women, but a club for women who do nothing but bitch. For those ladies who simply cannot think of anything positive, funny, or constructive to say, but must go through life spewing nothing but complaints.

FATTENING FOOD RECIPE SWAP - You are hereby ordered to place no fattening, but delicious sounding recieps anywhere but here. That way, anyone who wants to drool over Double-Caramel-Super-Chunk-Mega-Chocolate Brownies can do so without making the rest of us crave the darn things and start adding inches o our already ample butts ust by imagining the SMELL of the offending food.

CAFEMOMMY Fight Club-the uncensored version:  Let 'em virtually duke it out...no holds barred.  If you got beef, meet them in this club and slug it out.  But leave the fighting in the ring instead of all over everyone's page in their chatterboxes.  This might prove to be a little entertaining, as well.  I am a HUGE-did I say HUGE?- UFC fan and I'm always down for a good fight.

  Here's my disclaimer--This is a joke.
