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!

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.

Some of the unique things that make my mom my mom: She loves my children absolutely, which is a joy and a comfort to me. When she is around, they prefer her to me. She would rather be with her grandchildren than out with the adults, but does not relax when they are around. It's constant counting heads, making snowcones, taking off too-warm clothing, changing diapers, getting drinks. It's exhausting, and she's good at it. And she loves it. (I'm pretty sure.) She hates flying, but flies all over the place, because travel and culture and enriching experiences and seeing family trump her fears every time. She also hates bridges. And swimming. And confrontation. And cooking. And bad grammar. And dopey people. And a...
