Matt: Look what I did today. (Opens the kitchen garbage can.)
Emily: You made a tuna sandwich?
Matt: No.
Emily: You didn’t like the meatballs?
Matt: No.
Emily: You…broke a champagne flute?
Matt: Yea…
Emily: YES!!
Matt: (Extremely confused look on his face)
Emily: WE’RE TIED! Now I don’t feel so guilty for breaking that wine glass!

As much as I hoped this blog would be more of a tag-team effort, it is pretty much an extension of my life. Matt just happens to regularly appear in it.* To date, this is my 76th post, compared to Matt’s 11. As much as I didn’t want that to happen, our fun [...]

SWAG = Stuff We All Get. If it’s good enough for Michael Scott and Megan, it’s good enough for me.
This website, called SwagBucks.com, is a Google and Ask search engine that lets you earn “bucks” for searching. You can then redeem your earned bucks for stuff, like gift cards all the way up to [...]

At our company Christmas party, I let the cat out of the bag: I love Christmas movies and music. My friend looked at me, puzzled, saying “Oh, that’s nice.

Hello blog land. No updates on bread baking, but I’m almost out of the loaf that I bought for Matt and managed to eat all by myself. This post is actually one I never got around to publishing before the wedding. Like food on the ground for less than 10 seconds, this one is still [...]

Matt has been traveling on business a lot lately, so I’m having to get used to being married long distance. We spent about a year and a half dating long distance, so you think we would be used to it, but no. So now I’m compiling a list of reasons why this stinks. Why yes, [...]

I love to bake. Well, the act of baking isn’t nearly as fun as devouring the sugary goodness that comes as a result. Bridesmaid Christine also likes to bake, so we decided to make pumpkin bread to celebrate the coming of fall–which weather wise is about to come any day now here in the Bay [...]

Last night I had the pleasure of hanging out with my family. I often joke about how I would gladly quit my job to hang out with my family, but Matt apparently doesn’t think the joke is so funny.
My mom, dad, Mama and I headed to a fairly new little Italian restaurant near my [...]

Today I did one of my favorite parts of my job: talking to students about what I do. In the past, I usually talk to college students, but this time it was kids of the elementary variety.
Everything went fine and dandy. They laughed when I said “awesome,” because apparently teachers and adults in general [...]

On a hot Saturday in September, my friend Jillian sealed the deal with Shawn. Jillian and I have known each other since the sixth grade, when everyone was meeting the kids from the other elementary schools. A group of girls grabbed me by the arm saying, “Emily! Emily! We found someone skinnier than you!” Jillian [...]
