I think I had a revelation
Maybe this is why I don’t typically “fit” in women’s ministries and bible studies and MOPS groups
In this issue of get born (getbornmag.com) Kathy and my “true confessions” blog posts are going to be included to start a running segment in the magazine and on the blog. I think maybe I should have included this one:
Often, when it’s warm outside, my toddler is napping and my 6 year old is in school, I change into a slinky tank top, sit on the balcony with my macbook and smoke a clove cigarette…or 2.
LOL

Oh, you heathen you!
I know, and you can even see my bra strap, it doesn’t get more inappropriate than tha
Wow. That brings back memories. Haven’t had one in years…
Because that’s the only reason why you wouldn’t fit in…
My mom just informed me that she’s signing me up for MOPS at her church and paying my way for once we move to Austin. I can still of course decide if I want to go, but she wanted me to get in now… oh boy.
LOL - touche’
yeah, MOPS and me just haven’t gotten along the few times I’ve given it an honest try.
If you think cigs are bad, you should see the three-foot high hookah pipe I have in my fun room. Flavored tobacco anyone? Coconut? Grape? Peach? Yum-Yum. I had a woman from church over and when she saw it, she asked if I was into dominatrix! LOL
ROFLOL that’s fantastic.
these are the times when I really hate being allergic to smoking … cause I’d join you.
and I never did get into MOPS … I hated the name. I thought it was stupid. It was all I could do to get to Bible Study and be a good girl there … I had nothing left for anything else. Eventually I failed at that too … I suck.
Wait…you have to pay for MOPS? Yikes.
More power to the clove smokers who flaunt their bra straps
*raising fist of solidarity*
When I become a mother of a preschooler can we make a club? Of course…the reality is that your preschooler likely won’t be a preschooler anymore when/if this ever happens so….
Can I come over and smoke a clove with you sometime?
I like your Moms of Preschoolers club better…it’s more inclusive.

wow, think i need to meet you, and u make me realize that there is more than one of ‘us’ out there who needs to start a smoking/drinking/hookah MOPS
caroline - LOL - around here we call them martini play dates But the only way you find those is if you have mostly people who are not of a christian persuasion lol
hey! I might have kids if you and my sister (caroline) start that hookah-MOPS thing…OH, but not “hooker” MOPS, k?
[...] Mak (who doesn’t fit in) reminded me of my trip out west to Vancouver and down to Seabeck last October. Driving down from Vancouver to Seattle with an old college friend to meet up with her husband (another old college friend), she pulled in at a gas station to fill up. “Do you think you and Darren will be smoking cigars this evening?” she asked. I didn’t know, but was game — so she picked up a package of clove cigarettes for herself while paying for the gas. The three of us ended up in a martini bar later on, sans cigars, all smoking clove cigarettes while the waitress flirted. The upshot is of course that Makeesha is evidently not the only one who doesn’t “fit in.” Oh, and later on while we were walking down the street toward a coffee shop, she was able to give a cigarette to some soul on the street in search of one. My friend Darren suggested she was just being missional. [...]
Brilliant!!! Love it.
