I feel like crying

Beat the (dirty) Spurs, Jazz.
Get some new refs, NBA.


I'm bitter.

That's right, Emily. We'll always have game three. And ... next year.

Diana, thanks for the comment. I think it is funny that nobody else had anything to say, not even to tell me that I was wrong and should have written, "We'll always have Game 4.

Was nobody else sad? I know Kiki was.

We totally agree. That was such a disappointing series, and left such a bad taste in our mouths. We can't even have the satisfaction of knowing our team played it out fair and square. What a sour end to our playoff run. GO JAZZ!

Em, this weekend we got several calls from ward members who needed help with various things (my husband is the EQ president.) but what they didn't understand is that we were in a very blue state of mourning for the Suns' loss. it took a lot for us to move beyond our own sorrow and serve. (wink!) no, but really...it was such a bummer to see (well, hear) them lose.

Emily, for some reason I thought you lived in Texas. Is that true? I love that you are a Suns fan, but why are you?

i do live in texas, but i'm SO not a spurs fan. my husband's from Phoenix, but i think the real reason behind my Suns fanhood is that i have a secret crush on steve nash...shhhh don't tell! he's just awesome.

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
