No dinner...but free movies

Give 1 FREE month of Netflix! Offer ends June 15th.

You know we have no life, right? Well, even if we had one, we couldn't afford to take all of us out at the same time. Our conversations would go something like this:
Everybody gets two french fries and one bite from this .99 hamburger, guys. Share the soda! It's all gone? OK, well you just have an ice cube then. This is fun right? Who got the penny change? OK, give it to me and we will save for college. (Actually, when the kids were small, that's what we would do. Sad. Sad and pathetic.) LOL

Seriously, our family loves movies. I mean, if we don't watch TV then we have to talk to each other, right? LOL So, we tried Netflix, liked it and more importantly, haven't had any problems. The price is reasonable, the selection is great and they even carry LDS movies! Currently I have about 394 movies on my queue, from television series to LDS movies to cartoons to anime to new releases. I get three movies at a time and it only takes a day or two to get movies from them.

I even did something stupid and Netflix helped me out. I bought a Diet Coke at Blockbuster and saw Charlie Wilson's War was out for rent, (great movie by the way) so I rented it and went home. Later, I went on-line to see what was coming next from Netflix and saw that Charlie Wilson's War was en route to my mailbox. So, I called Netflix, admitted that I was a complete idiot, told them what happened and they very kindly sent me another DVD right away and told me to mail Charlie back as soon as it arrived. I was impressed. She was pleasant, she laughed at my jokes and I had a new movie two days later.

It looks like a win-win for both of us if you want to try Netflix. You get a free month and I get another rental.
BUT, No worries if you are not interested. I'm interested and I will be watching Crossing Jordan Season 1 from Netflix and that's fine with me.

Bun in the oven...Cinnamon Bun, that is

I am so EXCITED!! I found a new stove/oven at a garage sale today, at a price I thought was reasonable, so I BOUGHT IT!!
I HAVE AN OVEN THAT WORKS!! Even the burners on the stove light up when you turn it on!! An added bonus; it's clean!

HOW COOL IS THAT?!

I know you can barely contain your excitement for me but, THERE IS MORE.

I bought the oven BUT:
A) I didn't know how to unhook the oven and rehook it up at home (I had visions of a gas leak, then we would all die and the police and fire dept. would see what a mess we live in and declare our sad-and-pathetic home a Weapon of Mass Destruction)
AND
B) I needed a truck to bring it home.
SO, I hit the Ward list and called everybody that I hadn't offended and still spoke to me.

Lucky for me, and probably unlucky for him, Kris Danielson answered the phone and DROPPED EVERYTHING to help me out. (HOW could he say no? I was on a 'manic high' babbling things like, "a new stove, burners that light, A NEW STOVE, A NEW OVEN, I CAN MAKE COOKIES AGAIN! It's been six months without an oven, Kris. SIX MONTHS!" He was probably too scared to say no...)

Kris came over and picked up Matthew, they went to pick up the stove, brought it home AND hooked it up for me!
He even saw the nasty-call-the-health-dept mess when we pulled the old stove out and didn't say a word. WOW.

Ladies, chivalry is NOT dead. It is alive and well and Shauna married him!
Needless to say, I will accept all cookie orders as long as you say 'YOU ROCK!' to Kris Danielson. LOL

It has been a VERY LONG six months without an oven. Thanks, Kris. YOU ROCK!
