Station Tour

Molly Lee — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:41:07 +0000

I had a fun morning with 2 of the 4 home-school groups that came in to tour our station. I think they said there was a total of 50 people total in the group – WOW! They were from all over the Chippewa Valley. The kids ranged mostly from pre-school thru elementary. Lots of great questions were asked and hopefully I gave them fulfilling answers.

It’s always a fun treat for me to be able to interact with such knowledge seeking kiddos and parents, and listeners at that. When I’m on the air I don’t see listener faces to know who am I reaching that day. Tours like this give me a few more faces to keep in my mind and remind me of who’s on the other side of the radio.

The Cookie Debate

Molly Lee — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:37:23 +0000

I don’t know if anyone else has this debate, but I noticed the other night as I was eating my favorite kind of Girl Scout cookies – Carmel deLites. This particular cookie is packaged in 1 tray with 3 columns of yummy cookie goodness. When I opened the box I had full intentions of consuming the whole thing (yes I think that is an appropriate/realistic serving size). I was reading before I went to bed as I was enjoying the amazing flavor of them in my mouth mmmmmmmmm yumm.

At one point I looked down to the tray and noticed 2 of the 3 columns of cookies had been consumed. This is when the debate began in my head. There is a perfectly in tact 3rd row, do I save it for later or do I continue and polish off the whole box. Mind you, I had originally planned on eating the entire box, so why now was I hesitating. Was it guilt knowing it wasn’t the healthiest of choices? Was it due to the Girl Scout cookie hoard (they are only available a limited amount of time in the year and I do want to be able to enjoy them throughout the year)? Was it due to my mom roll and knowing there is very little I get for myself and everything I share with my family esp the kiddo?

Does anyone else have eating a whole box of Girl Scout cookies hesitation?

Oh and YES I did end up eating the entire box.

Craftiness Success

Molly Lee — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 14:39:32 +0000

Those who know me are well aware of my lack of craftiness ability. I have creativity, but not craftiness. It’s been a life long journey of attempts to be crafty with little success. The little success is usually the result of help from friends, or sheer luck. Thus, when I came across this pattern to make a throw rug from old t-shirts I was hesitant, but excited at the same time as it appeared to take little skill. There was a glimmer of a chance.
On Tuesday evening I started the process of going thru my closet and having Nate do the same to find shirts that we no longer are wearing that also fit the color scheme. I’m pretty sure my hubby thought I was totally crazy – a 9 month prego lady digging frantically thru the closet looking for shirts that clearly won’t fit me anytime soon.
Once I got the stash of clothing I began cutting them into the strips as indicated in the directions. Sage objected to my cutting of the clothing, until he saw me assembling the rug.
I finished it last night and am kinda proud that it is presentable, and functional. It’s been placed in the nursery. Sage has even requested I make him one now.
Not bad for 2 evenings worth of work (most of which I could watch tv, or interact with Sage and Nate while doing). Just need scissors (sharp are better I learned), some old shirts, and time. Talent not necessairly required.

Here’s a link to the instructions I used. Send me a pic of you make one of these your self I’d love to see how creative others can be
