Yes dear readers, it is time. This blog has long been neglected and I’m tired of the guilt I feel about not updating it. Finally, I realized that many things aren’t the same as when I started this: my goals, my desire to share innermost thoughts with everyone and my name (see below).

One thing that hasn’t changed is my love for blogging. I am updating our wedding-turned family blog and am trying to figure out what my next project will be. Hopefully with a renewed focus and plan, I will update with fervor instead of out of guilt.

So dear friends, I leave you now, but not forever. I will be back, but I’m not sure when or in what form. If you want to keep up on other projects, please comment below and I’ll contact you when that day comes.

Love,
Emily

I don’t really have much to say these days, even with the upcoming wedding, likely home purchase, brother’s wedding, etc. A friend recently asked if I had given up on blogging. That’s a question I can’t really answer. It appears so, but deep down there is some guilt about not posting.

Blogging about my personal life and innermost thoughts has lost its thrill. I’ve thought about starting a more thematic blog, but I like too many things to narrow down to one topic.

Maybe the place to start the search for new beginnings is with my readers (hi all two of you!). Did you like a particular aspect of this blog? Think I should quit altogether? If you have any feedback in the least, it would be awesome.

Love,
Emily

If sass could be musically expressed, it would be this song–”Let Me Think About It” by Ida Corr vs. Fedde Le Grand. Which is why it is currently on iTunes repeat until the end of time.

Sorry for the scantily clad ladies in the video. Curmudgeons may have to close their eyes.

Emily’s face went from glum to glamazon with just a few clicks!

OK, so obviously I haven’t had time to do this on myself yet, but how amazing is Taaz, the online beauty makeover site?!

The Hills are on again! Since my TV recording device is on the mend, I may have to watch it online. This alternative is actually quite nice because I don’t have to deal with annoying commercials or a bad headache* on Tuesday after playing Radar’s The Hills drinking game. A few of my favorite rules are below.

TAKE A SIP WHENEVER…

Justin Bobby is wearing an article of clothing he could have reasonably stolen from a Mexican day laborer.

Audrina looks as if someone just asked her for the fifth third digit of pi. (Note: This will get you wasted.)

Whitney prefaces or ends a sentence with “You know?”

Spencer inverts an argument to shift the burden of guilt onto someone else.

Lauren claims she needs a “boy” to help her get over Brody Jenner. (Bonus sip if MTV producers immediately cut to Brody surrounded by a gaggle of trashy L.A. skanks.)

Brent Bolthouse promotes his club-promoting company.

Justin Bobby is wearing a wool skull cap despite the fact that it’s 80 degrees and sunny outside.

*I just would like to point out that I’m not an excessive drinker, but LC, Spencer, Hiedi and the gang are excessive spoiled crazies.

Easter is upon us and it’s time for everybody’s (except mine) favorite Easter candy: Peeps. The brightly-sugared marshmellows took centerstage, er, shoebox as The Washington Post asked America to revert back to elementary school and create a Peep-centric diorama.

Check out the rest of the Peep Show here.

And the reprise:

Gotta love Hungarian Idol… Or Bulgarian Idol… whatever.

To put it nicely, you’re crazy if you don’t use and love ShopStyle.com. Why scour the Internet looking for the perfect clothes when they can do all the work? You can set price alerts and set up stylebooks. They’ve also just added ShopStyle Living, where you can virtually scan home furnishing and decor stores in one place. I’m in love.

Ladies and gents, I present you with my dream bedroom:

*Note: I hope these dreams become somewhat of a reality as we are currently registered for the sheets. It was the one set we could decide on, and wouldn’t you know it — it was also one of the most expensive sets! [Fingers crossed!]

Lately, I’ve been coming to grips with my geekiness. Having a blog, freaking out about missing Google Reader subscriptions while on vacation and bringing up Facebook at parties should be indication enough. Still, somehow I thought I was mostly normal. Apparently scoring high on the geek-o-meter may not be a bad thing. Matt thought I was a nerd before we started dating and now we’re getting married. And it seems like the mainstream embraces us too — from movies to Mariah:

This video may be old news to most of you, but I’ve been putting off watching it until today.

1 married cousin
1 vacuumed floor
1 uneaten pizza
1 lost camera
1 frantic car search
1 found camera
1 tired Emily
