Worst Book Club Ever

Okay, so my R.S. president from six months ago seemed to think that I would do a great job starting a book club. Started it, got super sick, summer came and noone was home (at least not us), and all of the sudden last month I think half of the members of our one meeting asked me when we were starting back up. As well as several new people to our ward. So I decide since it's been a good 5 months, let's start back at the beginning, which is a very good place to start (sorry, couldn't help having a Julie Andrews moment).

I decided to have a movie for Book club. I know, it's BOOK club, not popcorn night or chick flick Friday, but I was thinking that this way if people are new they will have a chance to get a copy of the rules (Hello, it's me, of course there are rules!!!) and we would all be on equal footing for getting the next book and having time to read it. I also thought that under the cover of darkness I could sneak around a calendar so other ladies would pick a book and lead the discussion instead of just me.

So we come to Thursday night. While I am setting up, singing Homer's "I am so smart. S-M-R-T" song, I randomly wonder to myself, "Oooh, I wonder if they announced it in Relief Society. Oooh, I wonder if I should have called and reminded ladies yesterday, since Thursday is so far away from Sunday. Oooh, I wonder if anyone is going to stay at home and watch The Office instead."

That's right, I had forgotten to check the fall TV schedule while making my plans, hadn't checked to see how often Book Club had been announced in Relief Society (I was helping in Nursery, Nosey!) and forgot to remind ladies. The dreaded Triple Whammy.

One lady showed up. Forty minutes late. She knew something was happening, and finally remembered it was MORONIC Sarah's attempt at Book Club from the announcement 3 weeks ago. Oh well, I can try again next month. What do you think of having it on the 31st?;)

Tagged

Once upon a time I used to have a very good friend. But she decided it would be funny to "tag" me after deserting me to follow her husband and children to Utah for a better job that paid more money. Disgusting.
I have to say that I am really curious what others will do once I "tag" them, so please remember that I really do love you all, but if you decide to distance yourselves or even disown me, I totally understand.
These are the rules.
1. Link the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post.
5. Let the tagged person know their life is ruined by posting on their blog.
6. Confirm to the tagger (me) that you've posted.
I tag everyone on my list, since I don't even have six. Yeah, that's right, YOU.

Six Random Things About Me
1. I am lactose intolerant, but take pills for it so everyone thinks I have a drug problem instead.
2. I am a part time elementary school lunchlady.
3. I sing Italian songs in my head on Pizza Day (Friday).
4. Sometimes I mix up my sister's and daughter's names. Maybe because they're the same size. You know it's true, Lauren.
5. I don't like Ramen noodles.
6. My favorite ice cream is dulce de leche by Haagen Dazs.

Saturday at Warm River

We got to babysit the cousins on Saturday, and decided to have a day of it. We went up to Warm River and hiked around a little... Okay hardly at all. But the kids complained before me, really.

Catching Up to the rest of the world

So I finally decided to give in to peer pressure and start a family blog. Whoopedeedoo and all that. Here's a few pics to go with the post.

The first one is the three children right after Nadia chopped off her hair for Locks of Love with me.

Two is up at Jenny Lake by the Grand Tetons after children promised me they would just get their sandals and toes wet. Sure.

Three is the back yard with the first snowman of the season.

Four is a family shot when we went to visit Cliff's folks down at Mexican Hat in the Four Corners area.
