Desperate Housewives

Last night another Baron's Ridge Bookclub Meeting commenced. We read "The Alchemist", one of my favorite books of all time, but only grazed its content as we were much more entertained by catching up with one another.

Highlights include but are not limited to:

• hilarious stories of neighbors who no longer live in our neighborhood (which according to Jen doesn't count as gossip since they don't live here anymore)
• rectal thermometers being pooped out mid temperature taking
• assistant district attorney neighbors who dress up as Darth Vadar for Halloween and ask the kids if they want to touch his stick
• neighbors with hot bodies who go around showing our husbands their belly button rings
• neighbors with shooting ranges in their basement
• a librarian who lives in the neighborhood declining our invitation to join bookclub because she hates reading
• stories of a person who superglued in a tooth they had lost until they could get to the dentist
• peeing dogs and puking babies
• late night kidnappings in the summer to drag others out to overhear nondescript "moaning" of other neighbors with their windows open
• plastic surgery reveals
• and many other stories including worst dr. visits for immunizations

Seriously you could make a show out of how much fun we all have. Oh that's right - they already have. And who says being a stay at home mom is monotonous. Apparently they never lived here.
