Errbody in Da Club Gettin’ Tipsy
Remember a few weeks back when I told you that a day was coming when I would be posting elsewhere and dropping my debut f-bombs on the blogosphere? Well, that day is here, my friends. Put on your earmuffs and get ready for rated-R Emily. Join me over at Tipsy Lit today where I talk […]
Remember the Time…we got really scared?
You had to have seen this one coming. It’s October, and the stores that know what’s up are stocked with candy and costumes that make even the most innocent objects sultry (sexy paperclip, anyone?). Some stores are already getting ready for Christmas, but this is not the blog that you need to be reading if […]
Let’s celebrate in the best way that I know.
So it’s been a good week. October came and I promptly made about a dozen loaves of pumpkin bread because it is written in the Book of Pin that once fall officially hits, you have to cease with the zucchini bread and transition immediately to pumpkin bread or you will surely have your badge of […]
To Dr. O, With Love
A couple summers ago, I was tasked with coming up with a toast for Besfrinn’s wedding. At the time, I was swimming laps a lot at a local pool. Each day leading up to the wedding, I would backstroke and think about what I could say that would pay tribute to this incredible person who […]
It’s such a good feeling.
Do you know what I like? I can tell you really want to know, and so I’ll tell you. I like Mr. Rogers. Do you know what else I like? Guest blogging on Kidz Showz. Both are pretty much the best, and this is why I am excited to combine my two loves today. Head […]
Remember the Time…we had that teacher?
If life is a play, then the teachers we’ve known through the years play starring roles. They are sometimes the characters who come into our lives unobtrusively but end up inspiring us to be better people and to look at the world in a whole new light. They do so, miraculously, by illuminating something as […]
Yesterday. Yesterday was that time I gave my child a mullet. Thanks for asking.
My friend was on Facebook the other day polling the crowd on what track she should take when she goes back to school in the fall. Most of the people in the medical field said she should study something in the nursing neighborhood, but the entire time I was thinking to myself, GIVE ME HAIR. […]
You Got the Pink Stuff, Baby.
It has come to my attention that there is a little confusion over what exactly a salad is. I have always thought of it as lettuce with maybe some cucumbers or tomatoes punctuating the leaves, and then dressing like ranch or thousand island doused on top. It’s a straightforward, healthy(ish) dish whose presence on your […]
I love my peeps.
I think I’ve told you a time or five that I have the best besfrinn in the whole entire world. And I wasn’t just jiving you. I really do. She lives on the opposite coast from me, but she knows the ins and outs of my days and actually apologizes when she misses my unannounced […]
The Big But
Sometimes it’s hard. No, I mean really hard. Take what you think hard is, multiply it by thirteen, and then imagine that you are in charge of – oh, I don’t know – curing cancer in the space of an afternoon. And that afternoon, you happen to have the world’s worst migraine. Just for fun, […]
