These are a few of my favorite memes
When Maria took those old curtains and whipped them up into new playclothes for the Von Trapp children, she took some random material and made them into something hilarious and borderline offensive. By getting inspired by the ugliness that surrounded her and duplicating it at least seven times, she was one of the original meme […]
You wouldn’t call me versatile if you saw me do math
I’ve been extremely massively blessed to have been honored over and over the last couple months by some really, really great bloggers who like what I’m doing over here enough to call me out on their own blogs. I never would have imagined when I started blogging that I’d get to virtually know so many people […]
Correspondence
Dear Facebook Friends, You are not Jimmy Fallon. Please stop writing “pithy” and “pointed” requests to inanimate objects. Love, Emily **** Dear Facebook Friends, The USPS is in enough trouble. Kindly mail your stupid letters to the intended recipients rather than spray them to everyone you know. Love, Emily **** Real post later today.
The Troll Under the Bridge
I like to read comments. It’s a bit of a hobby. Reading an article or a status update or watching a video is *edifying* and all, but it’s in the comments that the fun really begins. That’s why you should wait awhile after an item has been published online to read it; the comments will […]
Notes on the 23rd Week

Gingivitis Friday
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 be a thing. Ewww.) Because […]
Tips on Compiling a Baby Registry
One of the many things I’m experiencing now that I’m halfway through my pregnancy is that of creating the registry for little Bebe. Yes, there are few joys during pregnancy that approach that of shopping around for things that you have absolutely no idea if you will end up needing or the baby will like. […]
Introducing: Dung Chim
Being a little kid is the absolute best (and sometimes, worst) thing possible. Yeah, you don’t have a lot of control over your life, but that frees you up to unabashedly explore all the weirdness you’re surrounded by without being self-conscious about it. You can watch your Barbie video four times in a row, loving […]
