Realizing I have to actually make friends, interact in order to have something called A LIFE.
I have decided to embark on something I’ve never ever done before.
Get Involved and ( the hard part) START SOMETHING.
For years I’ve entertained this idea and now, faced with another desperately LOOOOOOONG winter ahead at home with two kids and no real outside contact, I’ve decided IT’s TIME.
Through my son’s co-op preschool I’ve attended a couple of home parties and threw this IDEA of MINE out. It got a very positive response.
SO, it was decided that not only will I be a member of this, I will be the founder and organizer.
**It’s a movie club. **
Mom’s getting together, possibly every other week at a local movie theater to socialize for a bit before watching a movie. A big person movie with out any cartoon characters.
BUT I need a name for it. Something snappy or, better yet, an acronym.
All I’ve come up with in the past hour is **M.E.T.O. ** Mom’s Escaping Their Offspring.
Here are some of my other ideas:
Oxford Movie Social Club
Gone Fishing
Going to Meijers ( local megalomart)
PITA = Pain In The Ass… that way you don’t have to exclude non-child owning women… every woman has a pain in her ass (kids, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, job, etc), no need to exclude anyone
As a husband that is a PITA (or so I’ve recently been informed), I wish my wife had an outlet like that… for me, it’s pool, I just love shooting stick… my wife needs something like that to have a break from me…
unfortunately “Location: Looking for cheese” (from the OP) doesn’t sound anything like Boston… otherwise I’d try to get you to let my wife join in…
**Tony & Viv ** are the featured adults in a Disney show called *Out of the Box *. Quite cute show.
I think I have found my group name: ** Cinema Therapy **
Motto: Movies for Moms Who Are All Pooped Out.
Whatdya think?
**Robot ** I like the Park Ave. Irregulars, unfornuately we dont’ have any really cool sounding names like that. We got Glass, Mill, Church…nothing as smarmy as PARK AVE.
