A's

Try not to be jealous that I'm starting to memorize all the three-letter words in the Sowpods dictionary. Tonight was the A's.

aah aal aas
aba abb abo abs aby
ace ach act
add ado ads adz
aff aft
aga age ago ags
aha ahi ahs
aia aid ail aim ain air ais ait
aka ake
ala alb ale alf all alp als alt
ama ami amp amu
ana and ane ani ann ant any
ape apo app apt
arb arc ard are arf ark arm ars art ary
ash ask asp ass
ate att
aua aue auf auk
ava ave avo
awa awe awl awn
axe
aye ays ayu
azo

I just wrote those without checking the list. Do I have mad skills, or what?

You have mad skills and you are also obsessed with Boggle/Prolific/Scramble.

No way you wrote those without checking! I don't dare challenge you at Scrabble now.

The first thing Brian asked was if you left out "ass". He was glad you included it.

The previous (2) comments were from Austin, not anonymous. I was too tired to realize I hadn't signed in and poted it twice. Sorry.

I would love, LOVE to get together for lunch. I simply must become real-life (rather than blog-life) friends with a gal who loves her some boggle.

Here's the plan: my parents have a cabin near Sundance that we visit a few times in the summer. On one of our summer visits, I will come down to where you live, near the Tree streets (I don't know what that means-- I'm a Salt Laker) and we'll meet for lunch. Deal?

What I want to know is the meanings of all of these "words", if, in fact, they do have a meaning. (Except for "ass", I do know what that means,... phew!)

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...
