Mrs. Meanie finally speaks
Today BFM has been laid up and I have been waiting on him since he hurt his foot yesterday at the kids' soccer clinic. He has been bugging me for a while now to register on cougarguard so I will quit reading over his shoulder when he is busy posting and replying to threads. So here I am.
I am from California but my roots are here in Utah. My dad graduated from BYU and went on to be a librarian at San Jose State University. I attended BYU until my first baby was born. Now I have five kids and a new home to take care of. If I had the time I would love to sew, and I would do some gardening if I had a place to do it(we just moved in to our new home in December so all we have is dirt). I like to read mysteries, romantic novels like Pride and Prejudice, and even Harry Potter books. That's about it.

Hi, Mrs. Meanie!
Pride and Prejudice is absolutely my favorite book of all time. I love Austen. And I also have an underused sewing machine. I hope you will like it here...welcome! |

Welcome Mrs. Meanie. Is one of your children named Bugs Meanie? (throwing out a little Encyclopedia Brown for old times sake).

BFM has been trying to get our kids to start reading the books that he liked as a kid. He liked Encyclopedia Brown, The Great Brain, and The Three investigators. But since we have mostly girls they tend to steer towards Nancy Drew, Little House on the Praire and Harry Potter.

Welcome.
I'm the original token Ute here. Anything good BFM may have said about me is a lie.
