I blog because I don't have a life

Dear Mark,

And you think blogging is pointless! I just won a(nother) bag!



Dear Sarah,

Isn't that funny that we were just talking about this tonight? Do you think I can pull off red patent leather? I don't know. We had fun at the hockey game. Thanks for taking us.

LCUKY!! Is this the bag from conQueso? Do I get to use it one percent for the time for introducing everyone (including Desgin Mom) to the wonder that is conQueso??? Who am I kidding, she is so great she would have been discovered anyway..,

THAT IS SUCH A GREAT BAG!!!!!!!!!!! Norah's diapers will look great in there!

You can pull it off. Especially with all the high heals you've bought recently.

I think you're the modern-day version of Terry Ryan's mom. Remember the Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio? I guess a few of the differences are that instead of finding entries on everyday household items, you just enter online (much better for the environment.) Maybe you should start a club of internet contest winners! Another difference is that you have a great husband!
One of the similarities is that I'm sure your kids will grow up to adore you, just like Terry's mom. Grats on the purse.

Sorry for saying "Yeah Mark, na na na na na!" that was rude and this is a peaceful blog.

But I don't apologize for saying how much I love that bag.

You can definitely pull that off. Red is the best "neutral"...in my opinion. It goes with everything!

Emily, you are the luckiest person I know! I wish some of that would rub off on me. I never win anything! But not for the lack of trying!

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...

Two things

First and foremost, happy birthday to my wonderful mom! I honestly don't know anyone more generous, giving or good with people. I like to think of myself as being generous, giving and good with people, but I've got nothing on her . She schools me, bigtime. 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...
