Today we awoke to find that we were out of mouthwash, a staple in our home. Possibly because we spent some time in Korea where almost everyone brushes after every single meal, B and I are anal about our teeth (OK, note to self, “anal about your teeth” should not…
More Than the Sum
I am thinking a lot about my brother lately. He is more than the sum of his parts, although the sum of his parts do yield a pretty impressive human. See thus: 1. He is an Eagle Scout. He started scouting as a kindergartener and he went the entire way. No small thing. Achieving the […]
Here Comes the Fun
And by “fun”, I mean tedium, stress, fear, and general grown-up time. Those who have been following my blog for awhile know that B and I have been less-than-thrilled with where we live and his job since we moved back from Korea. He is an English instructor at a community college in an economically depressed […]
I’m Up
Today it’s my turn to throw my hat in the ring at Canadica! Woot woot! I wrote about Thanksgiving, nasty Canadian cocktails, Korea, and what it’s like to be married to B. Why doncha go check it out? Click here! In the case that you don’t want to read my Canadica post, here’s a someeecard, […]
The Time I Met a Blogger
It’s no secret that I love talking to y’all on my blog. It seems like one out of every eight posts I do is about blogging in some form, and that’s because it has become a big part of my life and something that I get a lot of gratification from. The World of Blog […]
There are a lot of things I could say about Facebook. I could talk about how people love it as fervently as they hate it. I could talk about how it brings us together and tears us apart. I could talk about how conflicted I am over someeecards. But today, I will save you all […]
Why you (but not too many of you) should go to Iceland
A few weeks ago, I posted a poor attempt at giving Iceland some cred. Today, I am handing the reins over to Eva from I’d Rather Be in Iceland. She will now undo all the damage I’ve done. Take it away, my British friend! – Emily I’m very honoured to be guest posting for Emily, […]
I have a political opinion.
So I know that the election is over and everyone is sick of hearing about it and that you are only reading this because you have literally NOTHING else to read. But I have a small observation that I just want to flesh out here, on my blog. Yesterday I read a lot of comments […]
The Other Side: Notes on the Seventh Month
I am the parent of a seven month old child. This wallops me every time I think about it. Babies are a bigger deal than we give them credit for. Things we take for granted – feeding ourselves, our ability to put ourselves back to sleep when we wake in the middle of the night, […]
A PSA, only 100x better and with prizes.
So, unless you have been living under a rock (and it’s OK if you have because that sounds kind of cozy and the rent is for sure cheaper than it would be if you lived in a real apartment), we are all gearing up for Movember! Today, Le Clown is outlining all the plans he’s […]
