Did I ever mention the results of the Weblog Awards? It was a strong third place finish for Chatting at the Sky. Thank you all for voting. Receiving 2,891 votes is no small feat. And even though I lost by a good six thousand votes, I am happy with a bronze medal finish. Would be even happier if I actually got a bronze medal. But whatever.
Speaking of Lost, it comes back this week, Wednesday on ABC. It is going to be a premiere event, so you won’t want to miss it. I love it when they add event to the ends of things to make them more important.
I went shopping with June today. She has a wedding to attend next month in cold, icy, shaped like a mitten Michigan. And North Carolina June has nothing to wear to a fancy, freezing, Michigan wedding. So we shopped and we searched and she sparkled. But no luck. At least not in the dress department. I consider myself extremely lucky to have spent some time with June, though. She is full of wild hilarity, that one. She once asked Does this dress make me look dead? It did not.
So even though we didn’t find a dress, we were able to enjoy a fantastic lunch together. Well, I enjoyed a fantastic lunch and June stirred her soup a few times because the woman has no appetite, as her migraine medicine has changed her taste buds so that soft drinks are paint thinner and food is uninteresting. At least she doesn’t have migraines.
Speaking of migraines, I hope this post hasn’t given you one. I know it isn’t the usual type of post, but The Man is at the Tarheels game so I have no one to talk with. Aren’t you lucky?
I love your blog:) I have officially came out of the closet and admit to being a snoop. I love seeing how other people live and how they decorate. Thanks for letting me be a snoop and peek inside your amazing home.
Okay Emily, as a “once upon a time” interpreter, you are going to love this. I started an internship working as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor for the deaf about two weeks ago. Yesterday we had a staff meeting and someone forgot to schedule an interpreter for the deaf staff members…I got to fill in for them…they had a guest speaker…the topic was neuro psychotheray…ya….it went GREAT!!! But they didn’t fire me (which would be REALLY embarassing since I am working for free and all)! Have a great weekend
I always loved when whoever it was forgot to schedule the interpreter and then I ESPECIALLY loved it when I had to be called upon from my comfortable place as a spectator to bail out the bad planner because we had to be legal and all. And then I extra loved it when the topic was neuro psychotherpy. Awesome.
your picture post was some good info! you captured some really sweet shots! black and white pictures are the best! thanks for sharing.
Lol. June’s blog is super funny! And by the way, your “I don’t speak english” excuse for not taking the girls skating? I DIE LAUGHING. I am picturing myself actually trying that one on my kids when they are older. (A 3 year old and 11 month old just wouldn’t get it…)
Blessings and congrats on 3rd place!

“Does this dress make me look dead…” AAAAHHHH! You should put a disclaimer out there for people who read your blog while the rest of the house is asleep! “WARNING: reading of this post might cause uncontrollable outbursts of LOL!”
: )
i always blog when i’m alone and have no one to talk to too. can i just give you my phone number and we can talk in person? although, between our number of young children we may never get a quiet moment to do so!
I actually enjoyed the post! June seems like a winner
Oooo. Lucky him. Go Heels!
Glad y’all had some good girl time.
Thank goodness for Wayne Ellington.
How irritating am I that I got a kick out of my own self for asking, “Does this dress make me look dead?” I read it and laughed at me for saying it.
Man, I am unlikable. Does this dress make me look self-centered?
You’re blog is such an inspiration! I hope you feel better soon!
June is hiLARious! Thanks for posting her verbal jokes; apparently she’s just as funny in person!
My man is gone too, so thanks for the girl chat!
This post was just as superb as the rest of yours…you just have a way with words.
And can I just say..thank you so much for your comment on my post. It made me smile, for I had NO idea you even read my blog!! lol.
I have been a faithful follower of yours for some time now commenting on occassion. You are an excellent writer and an inspiration.
Congrats on the award!
Hey, I didn’t know you guys had connections to the deaf community! My daughter is deaf in an oral program. –I’d like to just hug everyone that volunteers and makes our lives so much better. They told us in the beginning to not use sign if we ever wanted her to talk, but we could never have gotten where we are today without it!
i’m really glad that you placed-I love your blog.
girl! you-june-lunch-sparkly dresses-hilarity? sounds like a perfect day.
does this dress make me look jealous?
Tell June I’m on that same medication. The sodas start to taste better again and you will start to eat again. It does help the frequency of the headaches. I’m on 200 mg/day. I feel for her.
I love spending time w/ friends! But today a trip to Hobby Lobby (for the first time) was a great get away. I roamed and roamed EVERY SINGLE AISLE!
talk to me about nothing any time girl
!
3rd is nothing to scoff at–a big CONGRATULATIONS to you!!!
“Speaking of Lost..” {snicker, snicker}
