I love them all.
Suzanne.....Amanda...great ideas. I love them all. <br /><br />Suzanne...I'm dying to do a swap night with my girlfriends. So.Much.Fun. It would be even better to do it with my bloggy buddies...of course!<br /><br />Alison...you rocked that comment girl! I'm loving all of your ideas, especially the "Best Of" google one. I am so trying that.<br /><br />Apparently, all the good ideas are taken. But one of my all time favorites is Book Club. I've been thinking lately about organizing a kid's book club for the summer. I don't have any details worked out, but I think it could be super fun for the kids and the moms! Has anyone tried this?<br /><br />~AmandaAmanda@Imperfectly Beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11171213700434070319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-24703557571227662792009-05-21T18:49:19.213-04:002009-05-21T18:49:19.213-04:00Things I love to do

We TIVO the show, swear we won't watch it and then pick a good night that we can watch it together (Therefore, when we all have to work or study a 1 or 2 hour show can actually be like 35 minutes!) Typically, there is also a theme...When Stacey and I watch Biggest Loser - we eat chips and salsa or pizza. When we watch Intervention on A&E - we drink a glass of wine.<br />2. Just meeting for a walk. It doesn't take more than 15 minutes of planning ahead to call somebody up, strap on your tennies, and park in front of their house to meet for a walk!<br />3. Something else I love - I google "Best of ________" (the blank is the city I live in) and then pick something off the list and go see it and bug someone to come with me. Best of BBQ? Best Place to Cure a Hangover? Best Park for Kids? Best Museum? Sometimes you can find things like a drive-in movie or music on the lawn that you never knew existed!<br /><br />Ok, this comment is too long and I don't think I have the patience to proofread.

I remember stuffing toys in the washer & dryer while speed-cleaning one afternoon. :-) It was loads of fun trying to scoop the Fisher Price Little People from the bottom of the washer!<br /><br />This is along the lines of hitting garage sales and the clearance aisles. A friend of mine joins me and we go to the local thrift shop. It's huge and it's like hitting many garage sales at once; might save on gas, too, because you're not driving all over town going to multiple garage sales. It's so much fun to shop thrifty with like-minded people.<br /><br />You could actually make a morning (or afternoon) out of it by bringing along your own fresh-baked muffins & coffee so you can recharge in the car.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-8983958484212614152009-05-21T15:51:04.988-04:002009-05-21T15:51:04.988-04:00Okay...let me think.

I expect you to take good notes for me tonight!<br /><br />Something I think would be fun is a progressive dinner, and you move around to each other's houses. People could "team" up if you have a bunch. The first house, and team is in charge of appetizers, then then next team, and next house is the main course, then you move to the last place fore dessert!<br /><br />We used to do this at Christmastime when I was a kid and it would be our family, then my uncle's house, then my dad's cousin, and close family friend. Our 3 family's were really close and we did this every December. <br /><br />Also, this isn't very original, but what about book club? And everyone can bring a treat to share?Xazminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749135318391747903noreply@blogger.com
