Black Tablecloths

Since most of us are in the same ward...I was wondering if anybody has any black tablecloths that I can borrow on Dec. 5th. I'm one of the activity days leaders and we are having a big End of Year Recognition for the girls and their parents. I am so excited it should be absolutely wonderful. I have a couple black tablecloths of my own but need a few more. I know everyone has white and white is easy to come by so I thought I'd reach out to all you blog buddies for help!

Stickers

I am looking for cheep stickers. What I want is to find somewhere that still sells them on the rolls (where you just tear off a section for .25) so I can buy a bunch of different stickers for not a lot of money. If anyone knows where I can get some let me know.
Also, many of you have still not invited me to read your personal blogs.
** sniff, sniff **
I promise I am not some crazy stalker. I just like to see what you guy are up to.

Introductions

I thought it might be nice if we did a roll call kinda thing. I think some of us know each other but others only know a couple of us. So comment and tell us about you and how you found your way to the blog.

Thanks Sharida!

I am so excited to be invited to this very elite group! :) How fun to get to know all of you better! I don't have much to share, but I'll come up with something from time to time!

Crayon roll and other fun crafts

I love the crayon roll idea. I think I'm going to make one for Hannah for Christmas. Does anyone crochet around the edge of blankets and burp clothes? I have done a little of it and have some really cool websites with instructions and patterns. Just thought I would ask before posting those links. Not everyone is into it, but it's kind of fun.

Book Club

Hey, just wanted to let everybody know, we have started a little book club in the nieghborhood and everybody is invited! We have already met a couple of times, and it has been so much fun to get together, eat treats, and chat (a little about the book, a lot about everything else). We meet the first Thursday of each month at 8:00 p.m. We are skipping December because it is so crazy, but will be meeting again in January. The book we are reading this time is The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands by Dr. Laura. Let me just tell you, I have read it and think it is a great book, and it was very helpful to my marraige. However, keep in mind Dr. Laura is pretty much the anti-feminist, and does get a little crazy (in my opinion) with some of her ideas. So, it should make for some interesting conversation! I would love to see what you all think of it. Everybody get reading!

P.S. I can't remember where we are meeting in January, I will let you know.

Needing my fix

So I am kinda new to blogging. I always said it wasn't my kind of thing, but lately I am really in need of a link to the outside world and some rational conversation. This blog Stacey started is great. I wont post much but it is nice to read and see what every one else is up to. I get a little jealous because your lives all are so much more interesting then I mine. But anyway, I am posting this to ask if those of you who have private personal blogs wouldn't mind adding me to your invite list. My email is kyleesadler@msn.com. Don't feel you have to add me if you don't want to, but I think I am getting addicted to eavesdropping into other peoples lives. Thanks.

Our Blog Music Player

So I was thinking it'd be fun to add some of all of our favorite "chick" songs! So I thought we could use this post for everyone to list their fav's and then I can compile all them in a album and post them to the website. I figured we'd give it to the end of the week for anyone who wanted to contribute. What do ya think?

Blog List

I couldn't make the blog list add anyone else either. Jessica is right if you missed her comment. Just click on their name and you can see all their blogs. It seems you can still add to the special website list so continue to do that!! Remember I know who you are...

How do you add to the "blog list"?

I know I can be totally retarded, but how do you add to the blog list? I tried to add mine, but I'm clueless. I'm sure I'm missing something simple...

Wedding coordinator

Wow, what talent we have right here in our little neighborhood. I didn't know you were a wedding coordinator Sharida. That is so cool. Again I must draw everyone's attention to her blog, very cool. Next time a friend gets married I'll tell them about you.

Good deal!

Ok, Macey's now has 2 lb. Western Family cheese for $4.99!!!! WOW!

Dinner In December

So it looks like we are going to do the second week in December on Friday. That makes is Dec 12. I know that is a long time from now but I guess it gives us more time to save the day. I am putting up the other poll now too so we can have it all planned before Thanksgiving happens and we are all so busy. This way we can find out what is going on now and plan on it. Also tomorrow night Nov 18th is an activity at church it is at 6:30 in the primary room, there is dinner, classes and a christmas craft. If anyone wants to go with me let me know. I hate going to things alone and hey they are feeding me!!!

Aprons

Anyone have a cute pattern for an apron?? I got some cute fall and christmas fabric and thought they would make cute aprons but I don't have a pattern. The kids love to cook so I thought I would make us matching ones and they would like that. Kenzie is mad that the other two already have one and she doesn't and they don't like to share!

Sale

Smiths and Albertsons are having their 10 for 10 sale. We just went and got cereal for about $1.50 a box. I do it every time they have a sale and stock up!!

Western Family Free Product

Well to those of you who do not know me..I'm Melissa Kelley, my family and I just moved into our first house on 2237south 350west (Leanna Choates old home) Someone posted about wanting to know about good deals and stuff like that so if you don't know, Western Family has a free product every week. If you go to www.mywesternfamily.com then choose if you have high speed internet or not. Then click on webisode spot. It makes you watch a commercial on western family product before being able to print off the coupon (I just skip to the end). It's a great way to try new things and it's free so I can't complain. Have fun.

Fun Game

I saw this on one of my friends blogs and it made me laugh. I was only 9 when the 80's ended but I guess that means I never grew up!! Try it and let me know where you belong. CLick on the link up above. Where it says where do you belong and it will tell you. http://www.blogthings.com/whatyeardoyoubelonginquiz/

Easy, cheap, tasty meal

So I am not the best cook in the world but I absolutely could not live without the following recipe. My Italian friend gave it to me so I named it after her.

AnnMarie Pasta:

1bag large Shell pasta
1 can peas
1 tall jar of spaghetti sauce
1 to 2 cloves garlic minced
2Tbs Olive oil

While the pasta is cooking put the olive oil and garlic in separate sauce pan. Cook for a minute or so. Then add the sauce and the peas (without draining water) to the olive oil and garlic. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer twenty minutes or so. When the pasta is done drain and then add sauce to the pasta. Serve and enjoy.

The peas will naturally go inside the shells for a great tasting bite. This dish is also excellent as leftovers, almost better than when originally served.

Tonight's Dinner

I'm thinking about making some Fried Rice and Baked Chicken for dinner tonight. Last night we had some spicy chicken curry and have quite a bit of rice left over. We'll fry it Chinese style with eggs and maybe some mixed veggies. I'm not sure what I'll marinate the chicken in, yet... maybe some sesame ginger sauce since we're going Asian with the rice. I'm tired... the veggies are coming out of the freezer and into a pot of boiling water tonight. No cleaning and cutting.

Tomorrow we'll do Spaghetti with Eggplant Parmigian and Garlic Breadsticks. It's karate night... so it's coming out of the freezer and into the oven, again. We're fancy people. :)

Dinner

I think we should use the comments to add our recipes and ideas so we don't get 11 posts in one day!! This is so fun.

I want-----------

Some one to post WHEN stores are having sales---I suck at remembering, knowing who is doing what----Gotta stalk up on food storage ya know--- :)
READY GO!
I feel so popular now---My first post...

Christmas

I know this is a little early but I saw something fun for Christmas time. We always go to Gardner Village in Oct to see the witches and get my free sample of fudge. Anyho, I just found out that they do the same thing with elves in Dec. It starts on the 20th of this month and goes into Dec. It is such a great place to take cute pics of the kids. I will let ya'll know when I am going but I thought people might want to know about it. We are so going to make the trip, if not just for the fudge!!!

This is a test of the emergency friendship broadcast system

Do not be alarmed. This is only a test.
Okay, I don't blog, and I'm nearly completely computer illiterate, so I have no idea if this will even work. So, here I go.

Testing, testing 1,2,3 testing.
