Tragic. Truly. Our Blog is in disarray! It's been a few books and a few months since anythings been posted and it looks at though we're not on track. This of course is false, never has there been a more beautiful bunch of bookish broads, we dive into new selections monthly, and the truth is... I've been Yelping more than I've been blogging so the fault is mine alone! Let me catch you up to speed on the SDB&B's 2012 progress and fill you in on goo-gobs of goals for our group in 2013. The last post was the Hunger games: We loved it, and then moved on to some meatier selections. We tied ourselves to our chairs and got through 50 shades of Grey in record time. All three books were devoured by the group and the discussion was sexy, sassy, and super fun.
Thanks to Donna Relieve for planing our brunch at Cody's in LaJolla! Next we all got serious about our employment and decided on Tina Fey's Bossypants. The book left us a little wanting but it was entertaining! To challenge ourselves a little we decided to brainstorm and network as a group while discussing the book, then our personal employment goals, while picnic-ing in Del Mar. I headed up that meeting, thanks to everyone who brought brunch items and participated! What a lovely end to summer and some connections were really made. To keep with the motivating theme, we decided on The Four Hour Work Week for the next meeting. Thanks to Jocelyn Roncal, she handled our reservations at Prepkitchen, and we chatted about which methods in the book applied to each of us individually. It was our final meeting for 2012 before the holidays hit and one of our best yet. We welcomed new members and decided on The Secret for our first meeting in 2013. Vision boards are being made, physically and virtually, and I can't wait to see what our dreams are for 2013!
