I'm sorry I missed this


George Clooney and Fabio fight

My favorite part: Fabio's manager told press, "George is lucky he didn't end up in the ER."

I saw Fabio once, at the Phoenix airport. I've never been the same.

He didn't really say "Stop being a diva." It was just what he wished he would've said. Fabio couldn't be that clever.

Was he short in real life?

That is a funny article.

A few years ago on one of those dating reality shows throughout the season they kept hinting about the girls' deep dark secret from her past. On the bachelor those secrets are always divorce or kids. On this show, it was that the girl had dated Fabio. The guy on the show dumped her for it. Too funny.

I went to see Penny Bird today. She asked about you and the kids, so I logged her onto your blog. There was Fabio and his peck, smiling at us.

Speaking of Fabio and reality shows, did you see when he was on America's Next Top Model? He was uber creepy. I shudder just thinking about it.

Emily,

Don't worry-- I'm sure that you'll see him again. You two were just meant for each other. . .

Emily and Sara----I can clear this up---
I was reading the Skiba family blog Tuesday night and saw the links they had to some friends' blogs. Right above the link to our blog I saw one that said "I Didn't Say Banana" (thought it was an interesting blog title) and clicked on it. I kinda skimmed thru the blog and stopped dead when I saw a post with pictures of Emily and Steve Craig!!! So Emily I guess your sister Sara lives close by the Skibas in Queen Creek and knows them.

Further explanation of the connections here: John Skiba went to law school in Vegas with my husband Andrew. They are now very close friends. Steve and my husband were missionary companions in Chile. AND, Emily and I are related...we're like cousins. My maternal grandma is a Godfrey from Clarkston..I think we've talked about it before.

Sorry this is a long comment, but I hope it clears things up--so glad we found you and we'll keep in touch thru the blog world!

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
