It was more timely last night, but Steve was on the computer

Hey, all you bandwagon jumpers! It's time to get on board.


They're on fire!


Can you name 5 players on the Suns?


I can, but just barely.* And I can't match their names to their faces, but I'm learning. [I really don't even know if this is a current starting line-up. I'm just stealing copyrighted images from the interweb, here. Just trying to be a fan. Sheesh.]


I'm reclaiming my NBA enthusiasm of yore. Ask me anything. I just recently discovered that New Orleans has a team, but they don't play in New Orleans, and Charlotte is called something else, and there was another expansion team that I've never heard about, in the south. I'm learning!


Go SUNS! 2007 is our year.






*Nash. . .Diaw. . .Stoudamire. . .Marion. . .Bell. . . .

The Charlotte Bobcats.

New Orleans plays in OK City.

Not an expansion team -- Memphis Grizzlies relocated from Vancouver.

Now I know.

You're more on top of things than me. I'm just glad NAsh cut his hair but word on the street is he is growing back out again. It really looks dumb long.

I would love for the Suns to take it all- especially so the Jazz wouldn't.

It's a good thing you know a good lawyer so that you'll have some help when you're sued for stealing official photos! I admit I'm glad my husband's football season is almost over and that he's not a big basketball fan, but I'll support you in your excitement.

This is so out of my realm of reality. I think we have a team in Portland, but we only hear about them when their mug shots are shown on the news for their most recent escapades.

I think Steve Nash with short hair looks like Ben Stiller.

The Suns are the whole reason I'm so behind on so many things in my life right now (like my blog)... I'm watching them play! Go Suns!

And heck yeah, Barbosa deserves mentioning!

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
