MEN! Grossness must be genetic! (Kaye did this solely for the photo op...he honestly doesn't sit like that...all the time.) I SO need a girl!

I finally feel like I belong!
I have always been terribly envious of those crafty women who always have cute things they've made (you know who you are!). BUT, I now get to join your ranks...sort of. :) 
I feel so much better...I AM crafty after all!

I am at a loss as to what I should do for my next post....but as it is getting later and later with nothing "personal" that is interesting (yes, my life is relatively boring), I thought I would share some interesting questions that I found online.

Number 4
If you are reading this Stephanie, I'm sure you will laugh at this, but I don't mind being silly. I embrace my silliness. I just took a pregnancy test today and it was positive!! Okay, so I can't be any more than about 4 weeks pregnant, but I've never been able to keep this news to myself. So, from now on, I can stop saying, "No, I'm just fat" when asked if I'm pregnant, which actually happens more than it should. :( No one needs to know that it is still just fat! I'm excited though. Maybe I'll be lucky and get a girl.
If you look hard, you can see the faint line....it's honestly there. It's supposed to be the horizontal (from this angle) line in the +. It really is there...I swear!

Right before we sat down for General Conference, Kaye said that he felt something great coming...something exciting. I was just like, ''Yeah, yeah.'' Of course, the first thing Pres. Monson says is to announce a temple being built in Calgary!!! I can't believe Kaye called that. Obviously, I'm married to a MUCH more spiritual person than I am. Either way, I am SO SUPER excited about the idea of having a temple in Calgary! I can't wait!

I have finally read Twilight. I know....I'm not on the cutting edge of coolness. BUT, regardless, I LOVED IT!!! I totally understand your obsession Nancy. I picked it up while at my sister's house on the weekend and it didn't leave my hand until it was finished. I'm ashamed to admit, but I actually read until I couldn't read anymore, closed my eyes, took a nap, and then made myself wake up to read it again. It was SO good! I have now been converted. I can't wait to see the movie!!!
I also found another, granted less exciting, but nonetheless entertaining read out there. It is for all of us stay-at-home-moms. It is called SAHM I Am by Meredith Efken. It made me laugh out loud on several occasions. If you are looking for a cute, lighthearted book, this is the one for you.
Now, on to the venting part of my post.....
I'm curious to know how many feel the same as I. Two weeks or so ago, I received a letter from Marcus' school advertising that it is doing a fundraiser. That's fine. I'm not super into them but I'll do my part. What really got me was this...
"Our goal is that each student/family sell a minimum of $85 in sales, or if you choose not to sell we ask that you please provide a $50 cheque. In the past we have only done one fundraiser per year, but, if this one is not successful, we will be forced to do another fundraiser later in the year."
To me, that sounds like a money grab. If you aren't going to do the fundraiser, that's fine...you still have to give us money. If you want anything for your money, you need to give us $35 more! If you don't give enough, we'll make you do it again so it better be good!
Maybe I'm just being cheap, but I think that this is ridiculous. I've already shelled out $95 school fees, $110 bus fees, $50 at least for school supplies, $2 (obligatory) for the Terry Fox run, and $36 for hot lunches (which I have to admit are worth it. They even provide at Christmas a free turkey dinner for the kids.) It's only October 1st! This does not bode well for the rest of the year.....
