Here are the most faithful friends any girl could ever ask for. Also, these women have wonderful blogs. The talent in this room was amazing. It is so fun to blog with a group like this. My fellow bloggers are Alana, Pam, Carissa, Dawn, Jen, Michelle, Shelley. And the best blog readers, Sparky and Sonja. Thank you all for the most amazing night.
The stage was set for a perfect night even down to the food. And I PIGGED out. I think I consumed 3 plates that all looked like this. Also, there was Cappuccino Punch, the BEST pumpkin dessert ever made, 2 bite brownies and a chocolate brownie pie. All my favorites.
And the gifts were amazing! You guys shouldn't have! But don't think Alana wasn't scoping out gifts for her own birthday. Oh yes, she was. In case you are wondering, she would like a pedicure, a spa day complete with childcare, cute office supplies, stationary, a HIS story bracelet, Bath and Body works lotion and candle, a cookbook, jewelry plus a gorgeous shirt, and cute decorative letters. Just look at the death grip she has on my IMAGINE letters. Thou shalt not covet.
OK. Enough with the nice friendly things like food and cake and gifts. Now it is all about blood winning. The game of NERTZ is a highly competitive, hands flying, quick thinking, multi-tasking kind of game. Carissa "thinks" she was the big winner, but I think the birthday girl should always win even if she has the lowest score. It's just good manners.
And for the record, all the "trash talk" on my previous post was pretty much all true. Except for all the cursing. I think I only heard one word said out of pure anger the whole night. We are good girls, you know!
Thanks friends for making all of my days special. I sure do love you.

Ugh, I hate illness!! I would have LOVED to be there! Sounds like it was a blast! Is someone else's birthday coming up, or half birthday, or quarter birthday?? ANYTHING? :)
Good times, I tell ya. Good times.
Hi, Google automatically informs me whenever the word "Nertz" is blogged...I like to read about how much others love playing too. Anyways, I hope you don't mind the comment. Some friends of mine and I are trying to form a network of Nertz players via the web to try and keep the game of Nertz alive. If you would like, you are welcome to visit http://www.playnertz.com/ to learn more about the game of Nertz and our organization (The National Nertz Association). Thanks and have a great day!
Janelle - what fun. Playing Nertz and celebrating your birthday. We need to find another excuse to get together soon and re-create the Nertz mania. And...I love that we've caught the attention of the National Nertz Association...who knew?
Seriously, who knew!
It was such a fun night! I loved seeing everyone's personality shining so brightly!
A few of you surprised me....but in a good way!
too much fun...
These last posts are cracking me up!!
There is nothing like a great group of girlfriends who you can laugh until you cry with. Those girls that know who you REALLY are, and laugh with you anyway!
Looks like you had a WONDERFUL time! Yay! Happy birthday Janelle, and yay for great friends!!
I think you may have started a Nertz revolution!
Food, fun, and friends~ It doesn't get much better than that!
All, I have to say is if any of your fine gifts came up missing...I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
Seriously, though, FUN, FUN, FUN. I don't remember the last time I had so much fun.
Thanks for being born, friend! I've said it before and I'll say it again...you are a TREASURE!
Okay, I love nertz and this looks like way too much fun. Its good to have good friends like you do!
Happy birthday!
Okay... you all look and sound like you had a total blast! Makes me want to round up my friends and have a girl night!! Thanks! I'll think I'll do that!
Looks like so much fun! Wish I lived closer.
Okay - SERIOUSLY. The Nertz Association commented on your party. What a rager!!! :) That is hysterical!! Look at all you hot mommas...good friends, good food, good loot, good trash talk, good fun. Man!!! I'm gonna have to cook myself up one of these parties around here!
Never heard of NERTZ... but I'm intrigued.
Must find rules & friends immediately!
Glad you guys had fun! You're a cute bunch!
Janelle...
