The Lighter Side of the Insult: Pregnant?

Resurfacing from the never ending flu (caught right after bragging about how I’d out smarted the flu this winter) and the mountains of work I’d fallen behind on.  An enormous thank you to those who have stuck by me in my silence the past few weeks!

One of the things that I’ve always prided myself on is looking at the lighter side of life and finding the funny.  So despite weeks of being buried so deep in work, feeling crappy, and break your heart moments, I always managed to catch a glimmer of the ridiculous in the corner of my eye.  Whether it is in discovering a stat that equates sex and smartphones to be the #1 things business professionals can’t live without (and actually finding a way to insert that into a professional document) or realizing that creating the following silly twtpoll was actually a required part of my workload for the day (no joke, the client asked for it…well, in all honesty, they asked for a sample twtpoll):

Never forget to find the funny in your life.  It makes the rough times slide down that much easier.

A Van Sexy Review: Awesome 80s Prom

In case you hadn’t guessed it yet, I’ll admit it, I’m a closet nerd.  Well I guess closet would imply that I don’t do anything uber embarrassing in public and the reality is most of what comes to me naturally and instinctively is uber embarrassing.  Hell, my brother dines out every night on stories of, “You won’t believe what she’s done now….” I wouldn’t change that for the world, my friends.  I love my uber geekiness and what I endearingly call my Emmisms. They are what makes me me.

Normally, these are what make me stick out like a sore thumb though.  Or get my friends saying, “Oh dear God!  What is she doing now?”.  And this is exactly why I loved last nights Awesome 80s Prom so much!!!!  Your inner geek was not only encouraged, it was celebrated!!!!  Never have I felt so at home, as you can see from the photos:

Now I know, whether you admit it or not, that you secretly hide an inner geek too and would love to relive your Prom, where that inner geekiness was totally cool.  So get out your Prom dress and call your old flame, because theres a second Prom tonight at the Alpen Club.  And best of all, the night is a fundraiser for Fighting Chance Productions, so that they can continue to bring a little more ridiculousness into our life’s.

Love and smooches,

Emme xoxo
