gems from book party

i am in a book club - or as one of our members likes to call it - wine club. or as we also call it - book party. we meet about every 4-6 weeks and while we do discuss the book, we really just enjoy each others' company, talk, laugh, eat and drink.

lately the ladies have been sharing some favorite websites - 5 of our 7 members have iphones so they whip them out and we check out the suggestions. a few favorites, maybe you've heard of them, maybe you haven't:

Shit My Dad Says

this guy justin writes down quotes from his cranky 73 year old dad. my personal favorites

"What are you listening to?...I know who Hall & Oates are god dammit. It's the mustache guy and the gay man."

"Your mother rented this film, What Happens In Vegas. I thought it was going to be non-fiction, but it's fiction, and it's about some idiot.

It Made My Day
people submit little "wins" to the site - for example

Yesterday I was playing with our new daughter, and I screamed out “She said her first word!” My wife yelled back “Unless ‘Lady’ is in front of it, ‘gaga’ isn’t a word!” IMMD.

I called my grandma to find out how long until left-over chicken goes bad, she told me to Google it. IMMD.

from lise:
