Let us complete the act of food love some time soon.<br /><br />I submit for your consideration the following:<br /><a href="http://www.lapellah.com/happyhour.php"><br />Lapellah Happy Hour Menu</a><br /><a href="http://www.oregonlive.com/dining/index.ssf/2009/03/restaurant_review_lapellah.html"><br />Oregonlive restaurant review</a><br /><br />Lapellah does Happy Hour 3:30-6:00 pm every day.<br /><br />Look!

Okay, not really but it makes it more fun. <span style="font-size:85%;">And it's my party.</span><br /><br /><br />This Thursday we shall see <em><a href="http://www.sonyclassics.com/rachelgettingmarried/">Rachel Getting Married</a></em> at the FOX Tower, because it seems like a perfectly appropriate girlfriend movie <strong>and</strong> it stars the nominated Anne Hathaway in a kickass, non-princessy role. Plus it plays at the perfect time (7:00) to allow for our signature Happy Hour as a pre-function. Meant to be!<br /><br />So let's talk carpool from a central point (I can be ready to roll by 5:00) and make it so.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3741079623407711712-2386075691911844209?l=vanmoms.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>stephanie (bad mom)http://www.blogger.com/profile/04257126641387033673noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741079623407711712.post-71108246008325114422009-01-18T09:07:00.000-08:002009-01-18T09:08:25.891-08:00OK, so I tried to make a cool new header, but I don't know how to make it fit right?

But I'm not sure how. I signed in and suddenly I am a part of this blog's contributors. I feel so important, yet so impotent.<br /><br />I am rather abnormally excited about a Vancouver-area blogger group - I think it's because we tend to get lumped into Portland whenever anything 'local' is formed and though I adore Portland and many of its people, I am a Washingtonian and a smallish-town girl at heart. Vancouver is a nice place on its own, separate from Portland, and I look forward to sharing the love in our little city.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing us together here, Shana.<br /><br />Peace out.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3741079623407711712-3364903206474573121?l=vanmoms.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>stephanie (bad mom)http://www.blogger.com/profile/04257126641387033673noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741079623407711712.post-14792953008951377372008-11-16T20:27:00.001-08:002008-11-16T20:39:07.340-08:00All righty, here it is.
