Cool by association

Today I had lunch with famous bloggers.



It was delightful. Thanks for a fun afternoon, Stephanie and Courtney! Sarah, you were missed.

P.S. My darling friend Jami started a new blog. She is amazing--try her recipes and then bring me some of what you make. Yum!

Oh that's funny, Courtney. When I got your comment, I thought it was Courtney, who I went to lunch with, and thought she was being smart-alecky about the link to her own blog. Now it all makes sense!! Links are up. Go visit them. Famous, I tell you!

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.

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.

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
