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?;)

um yea... k... thursday night IS TV night girl! HELLLLLLLO! The office started, ER started GREYS ANATOMY STARTED... not a good night for a book club. BUT, do peeps in I-D-A-H-O not have a DVR.... come on.. if us utards get it, so should potato heads!
I honestly was thinking the same thing-who can watch a 7 pm show when you have kids running around?! But I also remembered that for whatever reason DVR and TiVo seem to be banned up here... Maybe because they're all saving up for a snowblower (this winter's supposed to be really nasty).
hahahahhahha I guess I would get more things done if I didnt have a DVR, but I wouldnt have my sanity either. I need to watch Prison Break, Heroes, Medium and Greys anatomy. They are my peace after a day of kids peeing,pooping, and spitting everywhere.
