IRL Support & Kinship from TOOTPU

If you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you know that I am wildly fortunate to have a local support network of SQs who meet once a month (more or less). Recently we decided to change our name from DC Metro Stirrup Queens to The Order of the Plastic Ute.

Back in January, I wrote a post about our gathering at Lindsay's house. There were 12 of us there and it was a wonderfully fantastic time. I finally got around to asking Lindsay and Mel for the pictures of the evening, and so I wanted to share them with you.

First, here is the gang of lovely, lovely women... (yes, we actually broke down and had "Hi! My name is..." nametags on for the new folks)

Next, here is our namesake, The Plastic Ute enjoying a snooze by the Christmas tree...

To learn who is in the group picture (although it's in no particular order), see my previous post about the evening. I will admit to snickering when I realized tonight that the acronym for our new name is TOOTPU. Tell me you didn't just laugh too.

We are getting together this Sunday for lunch in Tyson's Corner. (Actually, it's a late lunch at 1:30.) If you are in the area, or want to come into the area, please join us! Email me, leave a comment, or otherwise contact anyone in the group to let us know you are interested. The more the merrier!
