Girls' Night!

Just wanted to know if anyone wanted to go see Bride Wars (it's PG and 90 minutes long) with me (Maryanne Nelson) Tuesday, March 3rd at 9pm at the Holiday 3 cheap theatres....the cost is only $2 on Tuesdays.

I know many of you are in school or have kids, but wanted to see if you wanted to come anyways for a girls' night...I'll be bringing my baby because that's right when he eats plus he did really well the last time we went to the theatre.

We'll meet there at about 8:45pm, just comment or call me if you can come so I know who to look for! Invite whoever you want!!!!!

Bitter's Baby

Doug and Sharlene Bitter had their baby boy, Brigham Thomas Bitter (6 weeks early!)
Tuesday, February 24 at 3:01 pm
5 lbs. 11 oz.

Everyone is doing well with not too much concern. Brigham might have an infection and since he was so early he was sent to the hospital in IF.

Cooking Group Getting to Know You

So Bekka always tries to think of questions to ask the girls during our cooking groups. Last night's question: What has been the best date you've been on with your husband?

Megan MacBeth: Mexico cruise (They're going another one in a month or two)

Maryanne Nelson: prom (we weren't husband and wife back then) but prom really got things going in our relationship...the night of our first kiss...any dates that Mike actually asks me out and does most of the planning

Liz Taylor: just a fun dinner where the guys decorated with candles and glow sticks and then we went dancing

Bekka Hansen: recently ice skating and bowling (even though they had Lucy with them)

Erin Murdock: Lake Tahoe...went on a little boat cruise on the lake





My question that I thought of since it is a cooking group: What one food can you eat everyday?

Megan: pulled pork from Cafe Rio with lime rice

Liz: stir-fry

Erin: Hawaiian Haystacks

Maryanne: everyone else said a dinner food, but me Turtle Cheesecake from Johnny Carinos....mmmmm!
