twenty seven candles on the cake

(Emily age 1- May 15th, 1986)

To think, this picture was only taken  twenty six years ago. Twenty six was an incredible year (our wedding, travels, foreign guests, French lessons, crafts, Delicate Doilies, good and bad jokes, new and old friendships,family, new favorite songs, and oh so much love). Thanks to everyone who's been involved in any part of the past twenty six years, here's to twenty seven!

Birthday Jitters...

See you tonight!

Chromeo...For Your Listening Pleasure (Mother's Day Special)

The only mother song I could think of... 

Happy Mother's Day Mothers.

Delicate Doilies + Saint Johns Bizarre = Grand

Come and join delicate doilies at the Saint Johns Bizarre this Saturday from 12-5!! We’ll be selling all sorts of goodies out in front of Sabi & Friends on the corner of lombard and philadelphia (we’ll be inside the bus stop...literally right inside). See you tomorrow and not a second sooner (seriously). 

Them...For Your Listening Pleasure

Yo DJ Pump This Party

See that chambray sailor above? One might say "Emily, what type of of odd dance move are you doing this time?" One might also say "what type of DJ revolution are starting?" (the second "one" is probably you, but most likely me...). It all started with a birthday party at the record room, a "b.y.o.r"(bring your own records...or rags, or whatever) type of party. Bring my own records I did... I dibbled and I dabbled, and I played the hits from The Meters, to Nu Shooz. DJ Snacks (yes DJ snacks, like all the good stuff you ever loved and more, in the form of a woman DJ) taught me the ropes, and she taught me well. Whelp, let's just say there's a new DJ in town (to add to the long list) coming to your new (or old) favorite _____ (enter favorite here) soon.  Tell me world, which of the following names frosts your cake (by "frost your cake" I mean, makes you the happiest you've ever been...)?
a. DJ Big Booty Judy
b. DJ Val Kilmer
c. DJ Doogie Howser 
d. this is a terrible idea.
