Anyone?

I'm starting to think about my kid-less trip to Toronto this summer. I'm really excited about wandering the streets solo for five days with no agenda and no one to answer to while Steve is in his conference. What should I see? Where should I go? What should I eat?

Ohh, Toronto is cool! Take the subway, go see the Univ. of Toronto, go shopping, see Niagara Falls (if time), go up their space needle thingy, see the Blue Jays play, see the Hockey Hall of Fame, visit St. Lawrence Market, go tour the different "towns" there, ie China Town, oh and definitely go on a tour of Casa Loma. You'll have a great time!

CN Tower -- grab a windbreaker and go to the top, outside.

Toronto Temple.

Eaton Centre.

Theatre district.

Bit of a drive, but if you haven't seen it: Niagara Falls.

Go see my family! The R.O.M (Royal Ontario Museum) is pretty awesome,and there is a planetarium adjacent to it which has amazing shows - you should catch one for sure. CN Tower is a must, and thankfully you can't miss it! If the weather is nice, you should take the ferry across to Center Island, it is really pretty. Downtown has lots of random stuff to see, all you have to do is walk around! Shop to your hearts content, the best little funky shops are along Queen St. I am so jealous you are going...it is so beautiful, and you will have an amazing time!! Make sure to take lots of pictures...and post them on facebook - if anything for ME! :) P.S. the Toronto Temple is beautiful, but it isn't "in" Toronto...it is a good hour or so away in Brampton.

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...
