Personal Notes & News

Personal Note – this Blog is Different

Usually blogs from The BOOB Girls are fun and simple and give us information on all kinds of things. This one is different. It’s personal.

Every year for the last 10 years, my Sweetie Marv and I have gone to Orlando, Florida for the winter. It’s been great. Now his cancer is back, he has COPD and some heart issues and just isn’t strong enough to tackle a 40ft fifth wheel trailer and the work it requires. We’re in Omaha for the winter. That means...

I am available in January, February and March and throughout the year, to come and annoy any group you want annoyed. Each year I do between 55-60 presentations on the books and the girls and the beauty of older women. In fact, you probably gave me your email at one of those. So if you have a:
  • Church group
  • Red Hats
  • Book club
  • Sorority
  • PEO or other chapter
  • Civic Group
  • Class
  • Local Library
  • Retirement Community
Contact me at phone or email at the end of this blog. It will be fun.
      
The BOOB Girls Calendar is a success. We had a delightful launch party with most of the calendar girls, cheap champagne and lots of snacks, only one of which even looked healthy. The Bookworm in Countryside Village at 87th and Pacific has them. You can get them from me at my email or www.theboobgirls.com. The most interesting place to get them though, is at Centering Corporation, 7230 Maple where you can browse through the best grief resources in the world if you or someone you love is grieving you definitely want to stop by and have a good cup of coffee. We’ll also ship your BOOB Girl books and the calendar anywhere in the US free. Calendars are $15.
 
New Line of Inexpensive Cards  This is all my fault. I got tired of paying four or five dollars for a card, so we made some very nice BOOB Girl cards which simply have the girls’ sayings on the front, are blank inside. They come in a set of all five for $10 or we can make you a set of any number you want. They say:
  • Card #1. Never Underestimate A Burned Out Old Broad
  • Card # 2. Let us be grateful from the bottom of our bosoms
  • Card #3. The BOOB Girls are the GOOD Girls (Phyllis Diller)
  • Card # 4. Seasoned Women Need STDs
                        Strength
                        Tenderness
                        Determination
                        Smarts

  • And the last card, #5 says "Grace, Humor, Courage, Confidence"
They’re good for all occasions and you can take a look at them on the website.
 
Sip and Ship – Save the Date! If you are in Omaha or even within a hundred miles of here, come join us on Saturday, December 14 from 10am-2pm. It’s a Centering open house and it’s fun.

       o   Gift wrap them with free giftwrap
       o   Ship them at cost + any size donation to Centering Corporation
       o   Give you fabulous coffee, tea, punch, snacks and hugs
       o   Let you sit on the laps of Mr and Mrs Claus for photos. It will be a great time!
 
That’s a lot of news. Call or email for a presentation, books a calendar or just me.
