They put us in a big booth for six, and somehow Michelle and I ended up across from each other in the middle; it felt like being on an airplane! The food was pretty good (but rather pricey) and the noise, traffic in the restaurant, and obnoxious children in the booth behind us pretty much did us all in. We left feeling stuffed full, overheated and irritated.
We drove over to Collette's house for a much more comfortable place to gather and to finally discuss The Happiness Project (which I read back in December so had forgotten a lot of it). We ended up having a good discussion and all liked the book.
Jenn brought us each a baggy of funky flavors of M&Ms (Red Velvet, Coconut) and a bookmark from her trip to Germany last month (she also went to Hong Kong and China).
Amy had a good thing going in that chair, I may have to beat her to it next month.
Jenn, Jana, Michelle and I had plenty of room on the couch.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who forgets what I read from December unil now.
I'm not so into the funky favors of m&ms...why do they mess with a good thing?! I used to be all about the raspberry ones a few yers ago but now, just...no.
What a great book club!
I love Brick Oven -but you are absolutely right- that place is so loud, busy & crowded. Ruthie & I go there every year during women's conference at least once. That tides me over for another year.
HOw was the book? I'm curious
So Happy to hear Collette's husband is doing well. Oh gosh- that must have been brutal!?
Heaven Bless them!
Didn't we go to Brick Oven when I came out for Women's Conference a few years ago?
Every time I read a book, I swear that I'll never forget it...and I always do!
Collette's house looks so spacious!
Looks like everyone found their cozy spot...
Never heard of those flavors of m&m's....you guys always seem to be in the know about new products!

I didn't know Collette's husband had such a big surgery! I am so glad he is doing well and wish him continued good health!
I have a love/hate relationship with Brick Oven. I like the food but hate how loud, busy and the kids also. That why we stay away from Texas Roadhouse also. It's not enjoyable to go.
I usually always forget what I read. I can just remember if I like it or not.
Next time go to Slab up the street. They have great pizza. You will still be surrounded by students and families but at least you will have better food :)
Thank Heaven for a comfy, cozy, happy spot to regroup! (Though my soup hit the spot and I could really go for a cup of it right now as it is raining out my window...)
