Hot or not



What do you think of the cropped sweater vest I wore to church today?


It's from Target, a size 5.



That is, a size 5T. I borrowed it from Isaac's closet.

The boys thought that was hilarious!

I like it. I am all about kid-sized clothing. And I like the hair as well.

Are you kidding? I love it! I think I need to rethink my sons' and daughters' wardrobes as amendums to my own. Way to be bold, and stylish!

You had me fooled. I took it to be 100% the latest fashion trend. Is this a "tipping point"?
And, your hair is very cute. AG

Was taking the camera to church to document the fashion trend part of the overall plan? I can hear the boys laughing now! AG

The "camera" was Steve's phone, which he always has with him.

You crack me up. I love that you took photos at church. Something I might have to consider. Great blackmail opportunities...hmmm. My boys would NEVER let me do that. They'd be worried that I would "stretch it out" and that's not great for my self image! You however, made it work. Not surprised! :)

Emily--

Loved the sweater! You are looking so freaky-freaky-fresh, as my girls would say. Cute outfit overall--loved the necklace, too.

I envy you fitting into your son's size 5 vest. I had been admiring your outfit and thinking how great it looked.

Of course not, Amy! But only if you weren't calling me a dog in your last comment. Off to go look up Raising Maine, and add your blog to my Reader.

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
