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.

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
