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!

I am finally ready to share our Christmas decorations, even though it’s over and no one really cares anymore. My family is all about the traditions and decorations, so it was fun, and a tad intimidating, to put it all together on my own. I would say “our” own, but I did most of the [...]

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 [...]

What are the blue paint possibilities like? Big and blue. Yes, siree, I was put up to the challenge to find the perfect blue to paint our living room the weekend before last. I was keen on a blue-gray mix, but Matt wasn’t so sure and thought a light teal could be nice. Because we [...]

Over the weekend, we celebrated my birthday. Which was actually in August. With all the activity we had this summer, it’s okay that we put off going out to dinner. It was well worth the wait as we trekked out to Walnut Creek to eat at Bing Crosby’s. I was in absolute heaven: I wore [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I think I have a clue as to why you may have foreclosed on your home. The answer just came to me as I must now remove our address from seven more catalogs. The total cancelled catalogs must be somewhere in the realm of 20. Scratch that, I am unsubscribing from eight of them currently. [...]

Right now we–or just Matt as evidenced by the blogging–are conquering one of the many projects needed in our new place. That’s right–a townhouse that is officially ours according to us and the county. After a shopping trip to fill up Matt’s toolbox, the following, inevitable situation occurred:
Matt just scanned the stud detector across me [...]
