Blast

Sweaty palms, shaking, yelling at the tv, heartache.

American Idol was intense tonight!










(If only.)

(Go Jazz, I guess.)

Steve Nash really sang the heck out of that Neil Diamond song.

Going into the game I was just hoping it would be close at the end and the Suns would get the breaks for once. They got NO breaks, mainly several horrible wrong out-of-bounds calls that went the wrong way. BUT, they didn't execute at all, what with the four TO's in the last three minutes (Horry steals from Nash, Nash low pass to Amare, Diaw pass to ???, Nash losing the ball out of bounds). So frustrating...

Alright, so I didn't actually see American Idol last night. But, watching Shaq, Leandro, Boris, Amare, and every other strangely-named Phoenix Sun sing Neil Diamond instead of throwing away possessions would have been LESS PAINFUL. Turn on the heartlight.

Heartbreaking for sure. I hate to admit it, but watching the game last night I realized, the stupid Spurs are simply a better basketball team. But I still hate them!

We prayed and prayed that the Suns would prevail. Is no one listening anymore?

And what is more painful than watching Shaq shoot free throws?

American Idol?

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

Image
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...
