I figure I'll keep this first blog as simple as I can. Most of you reading know what we stand for and what it is that we do. For those who are still new to the group, or have been a little apprehensive about attending one of events I hope to shed a little more light on what I'm wanting to get out of DBWP.
Now I understand that not everyone likes being called a "Bitch". Please keep in mind, you ARE my bitches! And it's a term of endearment coming from yours truly, (I'll get to "yours truly" soon enough for those of you who don't know me).
I started this group because my dear bitches wanted to get together and be crafty. What started out as a simple get together to paint and drink wine on my front porch, has now turned into something bigger than I really expected it to. And I only hope to get bigger and do something good with this.
I must also state that, yes, we call our selves "Drunk Bitches." Yes we like to drink. And sometimes, yes, we do get a little carried away. But we by no means turn into vomiting freshman at a frat party. And we do NOT encourage it. If you are not a drinker we don't hold you down and force delicious wine down your throat. If you are offended by other drinkers, and being referred to as a "bitch" then this is not the group for you. I must also state that if you're not 21, sorry about your luck.
About us: Well, we like to get a little crafty. We like to enjoy a tasty adult beverage. We try to have our meetings once a month, if timing allows. We ask that everybody contribute to the supplies. When we do pick our craft we let everybody know what it is that we need. Then, if you wish to attend you bring a supply item. This way it keeps your pockets happy. We also encourage the BYOB or bring a snack.
**SIDE NOTE**
This was started out as a girls group!! As much as I would like to keep it that way, we do have spouses that like to be included from time to time. And we do have our honorary Ninja Body Guard that has been very attentive to our needs. So I am going to keep this a girl group! With a few events that spouses are allowed. I know my Duh (aka my husband) likes to hang around from time to time. And I've heard that there are other spouses who'd like to see what it is that we do. As much as I'd like to keep it a secret girls club, I have to show pity. I understand that the men folk are just plain jealous of our craftiness!!!
There isn't a set place where we get together. We do ask that members host an event if you have the space. I'm pretty nuts about getting RSVP's. Being an event coordinator/caterer, it is a must for me to know. However I do understand that shit comes up and you can't make it all the time. Watch out for the Facebook Event invites and follow along with what the group talks about and you'll be golden. (Like the shower!)
We've had a lot of fun this year. I'm amazed at how much we've been able to come together and become friends. I hope to get some REAL good out of this group for 2012, (watch out for the 2012 blog! I've got ideas bitches!!)
I'm even more amazed at the response and feed back I've gotten from many of you. There is so much love amongst us all. That is the most important part of this group. We come together with no judgements. We support each other. And I only ask that you continue to do as you've been doing and continue to be as honest as you can.
I love you muh bitches!!! I can't wait to spend more time with you!
