I wish, I wish with all my heart that J.Lo didn't name her babies Max and Emme in a land apart



I imagine the pressure is high if you are a celebrity and you are naming a child. The world will scrutinize, criticize, either love it or hate it. That is why, if you are a celebrity, every care should be taken to ensure that you are not naming your children after the Hispanic brother and sister duo on a popular PBSkids show.

That is sooooo funny. I can't believe I didn't catch that. Milo goes around saying that phrase all day. At least she didn't name them Zack and Wheezy.

She did NOT.

Oh, well. I think maybe I should just be happy that they are normal names, not, you know, Audio Science or anything.

Oh that's bad. Did she do it knowingly, or obliviously?

I've been waiting to hear what she was going to name them - that's a hilarious observation and those kids are gonna be freaked when they watch Dragon Tales, wondering when the dragons are gonna show up.

The spelling in not the same at all and once you change a letter the name becomes new and original.

Hey Emily,

that's funny, maybe PBS paid her big bucks to do it, she's all about capitalizing on a good money making opportunity!

Is J.Lo known for thinking through her major life decisions?

Despite their PBS fame, at least they are cute names!

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
