So, the other day, I was at the Doctor and Grant came with me. We were sitting in the waiting room reading magazines. I was reading Better Homes and Gardens and Grant was reading ESPN. As I was looking through the December issue, my eyes widened, my face got closer to the pages, and I started salivating as I noticed AMAZING recipes page after page. There were like 10 that I wanted. I started thinking about all the different ways I could get my hands on them. I considered copying the recipes myself, asking the receptionist to copy them on the copy machine, ripping out the pages I wanted, and then, the last option, just taking the magazine (it was the Dec. issue and we were already in Jan!). I told Grant my dilemma. He told me to go ask the lady to copy them for me. I said no. I felt embarrassed. He became more insistent and then after my fifth head shaking, he snatched the magazine from me and headed up to the receptionist. I started nervously laughing and watched him as he politely said, "Excuse me." The receptionist came over. After a small conversation between he and the copy machine lady, the receptionist said I could just have the magazine!! And Grant, victorious as ever, smiled with accomplishment and I smiled for two reasons. First, that my husband would do that for me (ask the receptionist to copy pages out of Better Homes and Gardens) and second, that now I have the magazine in my possession and I can make those incredible dishes! Simple Thrills.

That is awesome!!!! Way to go Grant! I have a confession to make... I have tore out the recipes from a magazine before. It was probably from that same Dr. Office!!!

i've torn out pages too. i've also borrowed the magazine and returned it the next time i went. tom gets mad at me 'cause he says the dr's office magazines are full of germs... yikes! you could probably get all the better homes recipes online you would just have to write down all the names. i know, too much work...

I thought you were gonna say you just took it. But your ending was better. That's cute. Does he have a single brother or cousin but NOT a sister because I'm not in to that.
