What if I told you I got them at Urban Outfitters?

What do you think of the frames I found at the school rummage sale for $.25? I think they're rad.

I love them! I have always liked red glasses frames. I used to have some. And I even like big!

They're quite fetching! Good for you. You're a trend-setter, so wait a while and everyone will be wearing them.

Awesome glasses. P.S. I think Steve looks like Isaac in that bottom picture.

I would probably respond with a "Really?" with a sugary smile, and then follow that up with an overly exuberant "So fun!" But really I would be thinking that back in the day when I sold frames to people I told them that a major rule of non-sunglass frames is to not have it go above your eyebrows - but styles change and I am out of the fashion world so to you my friend I say: "So fun!!"

Jocelyn, exactly. They are awesome for their ugliness and frames-rules-breakingness, right? Maybe not, I don't know.

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.

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...
