Have you read it?

No, I'm not talking about Twilight...but the last 3-4 Seriously, So Blessed have had me in hysterics--sitting here all alone laughing out loud..and the comments are just as good. I know SO MANY OF THESE GIRLS! And I'm afraid if I don't do my Jr. High English teaching job well, I'll turn out a bunch more. Ack! Incentive!

Book Club


I just got back from our bookclub--the book--The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis was great...wonderful discussion. I've read it three times. The book is a series of letters from Screwtape, a high-level devil (from the 'lowerarchy' of Hell) to his nephew, Wormwood, who has just been assigned a 'patient' or human to tempt and drag down to damnation...by keeping him from the Enemy (God).
So much of it relates to our lives..and you learn so much about the other members.. Such a nice GNO....Girls Night Out. Delicious goodies, too.
Actually, this is kind of a church calling..I teach in the Relief Society and was asked by the president to also form a bookclub for enrichment night. I was asked to put together a list for our ward, so I chose from the classics.

Saturday Night Live! Sarah and Hillary

I tried to find this everywhere after it aired--but YouTube had just poor copies, then they were pulled altogether....Finally NBC gave their permission and put it on their site. This is the funniest skit I've seen SLN do in YEARS. DEAD ON! It's like potato chips--you can't watch it just it once.
