The Girls Night In podcast has finally hit a milestone. We’re now one year old. After a year of podcasting, reviewing, questioning and laughing we got together for an evening and tried to jam our favorite parts into one episode. I bet you can imagine how that went with over 24 hours worth of material to cover! Give it a listen to see what we liked more: reviewing movies, topic discussions or just making fun of each other.

Thank you to all of our listeners for.. well.. listening to us this past year, for participating, for the friendships and the fun. Without you folks we wouldn’t have had as much fun as it’s obvious that we have on this show. We love you and hope that you’ll continue to be such a presence in our podcast and lives!

Here are some examples of our cheating ways: cheating on a spelling test, using cheat codes in a video game, not unloading the dishwasher and an under-aged drinking party. Can you guess who said what?

The What If questions will be:
1. What if you knew touching the person you loved, in that romantic way, even once would kill them? Could you live the rest of your life without ever touching or kissing? For the sake of this question there’s no kissing through cling wrap or holding hands through rubber gloves. No touching, at all and no just moving away to not deal with it.
2. Now the shoe’s on the other foot but the same rules apply. What if you were the one who would be killed by the touch of your love? Could you live your life without it or would you sacrifice the rest of your life for that one sweet kiss?

In this episode of Girls Night In we discussed the most wonderful time of the year; or at least we hope it is. We listed off our favorite holiday tunes and chatted about our favorite Christmas movies. Then we got to the real turkey and mashed potatoes of the episode and told our two favorite memories or traditions. Things got rather sweet, I’m not going to lie to you.

Don’t forget to follow what Santa is up to at http://www.twitter.com/SantaClaus He’ll be tweeting from his smart phone throughout Christmas Eve to tell us where he’s at during present delivery. He also has his own website where he’ll email you daily updates on the happenings at the North Pole. You might even get a recipe or two from Mrs. Claus.

What If
We can’t possibly do an episode without a couple What if questions.
1. What if Santa were real and he really did know when you were sleeping and know when you’re awake and bad or good? Would you do anything differently?
2. What if a millionaire came to you and said you had $1,000,000 to buy anyone anywhere any gift you wanted? What would it be and who would you buy for? The only exception is you couldn’t buy anything for yourself.

Rachel mentioned the One Laptop Per Child campaign. The way the policy will be working through December 31, 2007 is “Get One, Give One”. A limited-time program in which you donate one laptop to be sent to a child in the developing world and you receive one laptop in recognition of your donation. Find out more about this program, the laptops and how to help by visiting the website.

What’s Coming Up?
We will return to our regular live schedule Wednesday, January 9 at 9PM EDT, 8PM CDT, 7PM MDT, 6PM PDT, 4PM Hawaii time. We will be discussing Maggie’s topic of choice, cheating. She wants to know what we and you listeners have cheated at in our lives! And no, cheating at podcast questions do not count. She’d like to hear about one event of cheating from your life while you’ll hear about two from each of the co-hosts. Call in your cheating ways to 206-203-4308, email us hello@girlsnightinpodcast.com or join us live on TalkShoe!

The What If questions will be:
1. What if you could cheat at something and never get caught, what would it be?
2. What if you could cheat at something you do every day, what would it be?

The episode to follow Maggie’s cheating will be a movie review and Rachel will be taking the reins once more. We will be discussing her movie pick Sense and Sensibility. We realize it’s a long time away but January 23 will be here before you know it.
We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas or Holiday of their choice and we’ll see you all in the New Year! Have fun and stay safe.

Everyone had quite a lot to say in this show. It was deemed necessary to split the episode into two parts so that you could listen to us in smaller, more manageable portions. This is part 2 of 2 where we pick up with your embarrassing stories and then move into the crazy What If questions.

Discussion Topic : Embarrassing Moments (Listeners Only)
Tonight our listeners really got into the sharing spirit. There were stories of farts, vomit and likely a lesson or two was learned.

What If?
Of course we a couple What If questions? Here they are.
1. November is also National Novel Writing Month, which for a number of our listeners who are participating in that, can create some life-long memories… this question was born. What if you were a published author? What would your very first best selling book be about? Share what your memory of it would be!
2.What if you had to exchange YOUR embarrassing memory with someone else who has already shared one on the show? Whose would you exchange with and why?

Contest Update
The winner of 2 movie tickets was Emily from Ohio!

What’s Coming Up?
Our next show will be held on Wednesday, December 12 we will be discussing Maggie’s movie “National Treasure” It will once again be on TalkShoe at 9pm EST, 8pm CST, 7pm MST or 6pm PST.

This was a pretty popular show and it seemed that everyone had quite a lot to say. Since it ended up being an hour and 45 minutes long, the best bet was to split the episode into two so that you could listen to us in smaller, more manageable portions. This is part 1 of 2. Part 1 concludes with the host’s stories, where part 2 will pick up with your stories, what if questions and the contest winner announcement.

What’s On our iPods?
