'Tis two bottles of Mustela Hydra-Bebe body lotion, delivered via the USPS, for Miss Norah. Not from the Haslips, I presume.

Can I pretend it is from me? Why do you like it so?

ha - my word verification is "slurfy". Some are so goofy, I just have to share.

The gift giver has been identified! The company emailed me the sender's info and it is. . . Julianne! (But we can still pretend it was Suzie.)

What is it and what makes it a must have? Did I harm my first born by not using it? :)

Anyone else?

I just read this scripture quoted in a blog comment thread, alluding to. . .me. 2 Nephi 9:28 28 O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not.

When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that.

Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps. This means that you focus on one thing at a time, leaving the rest so that your money is not so thinly spread and you can make visible progress. This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i
