The post of many exclamation marks

I just heard Richard Simmons say: "There are no P.E. in the United States. Very few P.E." Very few P.E., people!!

Did anybody see the new game show hosted by William Shatner Tuesday night called "Show Me the Money"? Anyone? C'mon, Suzie, I know you watched it, you Star Trek fanatic. I want to discuss this game show with somebody, for its sheer awesomeness. It's impossible to lose (except for the guy who did), girls in bad dresses do really bad dancing into the commercial breaks...fantastic!! Let's discuss.

Alyssa is brilliant, kind, nurturing, about to turn 30, fashionable, tall, well-read, talented, and really good at, oh, everything. She does a mean Gwen Stefani. And now she blogs!!! Visit her often and leave lots of encouraging comments.

Amy, on the left, is amazing, too, but she has to wait until her blog is up and running before I extol her virtues.

Matt W. read my blog!! Steve and I both think fondly of Matt, and not just because he pulled a Joey Tribiani and married Diana and Neil. Shall we say, performed the marriage of. Good to hear from you.

Go to this cool blog and make any comment to enter the give-away-a-day contest. Cool stuff!!! Don't look at the past posts too closely if you are on my Christmas list (N and D) because you just may be getting some of the stuff she has on there.

It is unnatural!!! for me to use so many exclamation marks!!!!

"show me the money" - saw it. It does seem quite impossible to lose. Mr. Shatner was less than charming. How is that show on the air. I give it 1 month.

Thanks again.

I think that I did something weird when I set up my blog because when I try to post comments on your blog under a "blogger identity" it doesn't work.

I have a long way to go before I can be as blog-savvy as you.

How did you know I caught 1/2 of that show (while blogging simultaneously)?! I thought it was pretty horrid. I think the dancers and set get used as a strip club when they're done filming. Doesn't the set look like a strip club? Not that I would know. Ironic that one of the first contests was so flamboyantly gay. I'm pretty sure all of the girly girl dancers didn't phase him.

But on a brighter topic... I am glad someone else can share in my joy at seeing Alyssa join the blogging world. I have so enjoyed hearing more about your life and seeing pictures regularly. I look forward to the same thing with Lys, and hopefully Amy!

Here are some exclamation marks as a show of support for your post.

You and Suzie both sending people over to the new blog... I had no idea that was how you are connected...... Cool. For some reason I thought you were connected through all the Provo High people..... Do you know how I am connected to Sarah? It is pretty tricky and makes the 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon look like patty cake....

What a sweet picture of Norah!!

Amy, I have no clue. I'm sure you'll come up something profound and good. I can't wait.

Alyssa, when you log in to Blogger, mark Remember Me. I don't know why it won't let you user your name.

Bek, I just stalk all the Provo High people.

The show was pretty awful. So bad that I couldn't tear away.

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. The context: I had suggested that Ezra Taft Benson's political views as expressed in 1968 before he was the prophet were not the official political views of the church, and shouldn't be construed as such. It is actually not the first time this month that I've been told through scriptural references that I am a wicked person {my extrapolated take-away from the conversations}. I give up.

Another taboo topic: money

I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. 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. Mortgage: I figure out the percentage it will take to cover my mortgage. Usually 29-30%. I think this percentage needs to stay under 35% of take-home after tithing. 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
