Leap Day. Woohoo?

I’m not particularly traditional, so you won’t find me proposing on February 29th. I don’t really believe in marriage as it’s currently socially defined and all that jazz. Are there any other traditions? Or is this just another day in a long line of days….

Oh look, a quiz.

Project 365 – an underwhelming beginning.

I am taking pictures, I promise. I’m just not taking pictures every day – and some of them are quite awful as I get used to settings other than “auto” and “picture stabilization” modes. Toward that end, here are three shots from last week.

I did decide to post them [...]

Spend a Big Company’s Money for them**

Through February 29th, Barilla will donate $1 to America’s Second Harvest for every cookbook downloaded (**up to 100,000 downloads).

Well hello there, you curvaceous cutie!

You sure have come a long way in the last few years, huh? Listen, thanks for not exploding when my blood pressure took off. Hell, thanks for not exploding during that last month of pregnancy. It really means a lot to me that you were able to keep it together through all that neglect. [...]

What not to Do: Valentine’s Edition

Stuffed animals. Holiday chocolate. (I know you think I’m breaking girlcode here, but please note I said HOLIDAY chocolate. It’s too sweet and generally nasty. General rule of thumb – if you can find it in a drugstore or low-end grocery? just say no.) Mass-produced card with pre-expressed sentiment. Expensive dinner out because it’s [...]

Dear Emily,

Upgrading breaks your permalinks. Please remember to fix them immediately the next time you do a bleary-eyed upgrade at 3am. Otherwise people can’t read your individual posts or comment.

Love,

Emily
