Maybe this is old news, I'm not sure

I'm too tired to do justice to this post.

But if you were here, or if I was talking to you on the phone, I would tell you to look on page 81 of this week's Newsweek and tell me who that skinny girl with the glasses was. You wouldn't have the faintest idea (unless you have been reading People or watching Access Hollywood or something, which I haven't been doing). And I would say, "That's Star Jones." And you would say, "What!? Really? You are kidding me." And I would say, "Nope."

Blogger is acting funny: I can't post pictures of her. But do an image search. It's crazy.

Now I'm going to bed.

She looks good. I couldn't post a picture either, which was annoying because I wanted to put up a new post last night. I have exactly 7 minutes to finish breakfast and read the news. Aargh!

I was reading that same Newsweek last night before I went to bed. I was shocked! I think she is too thin--I thought she was prettier a little plump.

I should probably leave this comment on the very bad, no good, horrible, bummed out day post, but this one is fresher--so I'll leave it here. Here's what I love about blogs: I can log on and read yours, when I'm having a similarly dismal day (trying to remember that there are children starving in Africa and mothers dying of cancer, trying to shake off the bad-day-blues, knowing that my life's really not that bad) and I find some irony and humor in the similarities of our trials--even though we are perfect strangers.

Do you ever watch TV? She obviously had gastric bypass like a year or two ago, but would never exactly own up to it. She's not on the view anymore either, she was semi fired/ semi quit/ semi Rosie O'Donnell doesn't like her and so she had to go.

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...
