That I blog exclusively on myspace now...in case anyone ever feels the need to get all up in my biz.

In just under 72 hours, I will be 21 years old. I have been pining for this day since my friends, one after another, turned 21and entered a newer, better world.

This sounds really stupid...you're probably thinking "Oh my gosh! Does Emily really like drinking THAT much? Jesus! Rehab!!!!" But that's not the reason at all...or not a big reason anyway ( Read more... )

Last night, I took Stella for a walk. It wasn't as horribly hot as usual because the bottom fell out two nights ago and all that rain cooled everything down...so why is this fly so intent on being indoors and annoying the crap out of me? Sorry--off subject. I laid the smack-down on his ass with my magazine though!

Where was I?

Okay, so we were about ( Read more... )

 Jesus. If I have ONE more middle-aged man hit on me, I'm going to snap. (fm). Turns out that dude the other day who was interested in my "catering business" was actually interested in me. (vomit).

We had our first official monsoon storm here in Phoenix the other night and it was pretty much the most marvelous thing that has happened here in a long time. It was a sneaky storm though and only actually began to produce rain when I had my back turned. I had finished feeding the animals (I'm house-sitting for my parents while they enjoy an ( Read more... )

The other day I was thinking about Beverly Cleary books. I really have no idea why she popped into my head, but I started thinking about how many of her books I read when I was in grade-school. She and Judy Blume had a joint monopoly (I know that's an oxy-moron, but I can't think of a better way to describe it--domination?) on adolescent literature ( Read more... )

"And now it's time to say goodbye to all our company...
K-i-t (t-minus four weeks before I see ya again!)
c-h-e (e-mail when ya get a chance!)
n-b-a-s-i....(c)"
That was my sad and corny attempt to turn the Mickey Mouse Club song into one that applies to Kitchen Basics.

Today was our last day of cooking with our groups. Next week will be the major ( Read more... )

I told someone today that I don't post here that much anymore--and then it just made me want to see if Kate and Brodizzo (holla!) had posted anything recently and I see you guys have (woo! looove reading the brodizzo entries as usual) and I thought I should add something too...p.s. the ants left--yay! I think they are movin' on up--to the Eastside ( Read more... )

Geez I haven't posted to LJ in a long, flippin' time. In fact, I'm not sure if I have done it since I've actually started culinary school ( Read more... )

I thought people were supposed to learn new things every day, but I find that every day, I learn that I don't know all that much. It seems to me that answers are relative. Nothing is cut and dry. We really do make our own rules. Sometimes that's a good thing, but sometimes, well, it's not. Like dating. There should be a manual. I'm not the person ( Read more... )
