Me right now.

Tongue out Tuesday comes from this past weekend. Flapping in the wind!

Took River to the Virginia Corgi Picnic on Sunday. Will post pictures soon, but here's some great GoPro footage another Corgparent took. River's at :52 and 2:02, with other cameos throughout.

For us to remember

So, I'm selling Jamberry now. Vinyl nail wraps, latex free, cruelty free, made in the USA. http://emilyelizabeth.jamberrynails.net www.facebook.com/emilytjams

I was looking for good hooded capes/capelets. I have the ysolda teague pattern and, I think, two others.

Knitting Inspiration: hoods. Like, fairy tale hoods. I read somewhere that “capes are in” this year and, while I don’t give a flying fuck about that sort of thing, it does mean that suddenly all these fetching hooded capelet/shawl things are sprouting like mushrooms. (Get it? Mushrooms? Fairy rings….fairy tales? You’re right, that was a bit of a stretch.)

I’m particularly drawn to ones that are heavily textured or almost insubstantial. There was a thing with hooded scarves a few years back that I never really committed to; having seen these more voluminous alternatives, I suddenly understand why I waited. Unlike hoodies, which are ubiquitously casual to the point where I refuse to wear them, and hooded scarves, which make me think of kids who can’t be trusted to not lose individual cold weather items and are thus given a combination mittens/hood/scarf thing, these are poised somewhere between little kid make-believe and massive sophistication. I also suspect that they won’t cause hat hair, although I might have to line them to prevent unfortunate bobby pin accidents.

Head shots of my two loves. Rikku hates the camera.

Reblogging this so I have it forever. I love ehg.

I just realized that I had never actually seen this posted, so here you go: Extra Hot Great’s exhaustive list of alternative names for Benedict Cumberbatch.

PS, Extra Hot Great is my absolute favorite pop culture podcast and you need it in your life.

Get in my mouth!

Science is my shiiiieeeee.

I love this. River just figured out she can jump on the couch. It's opened a whole new world for her (i.e. I have to find a new spot for her food bag).

Finished giving Murphy a bath and walked into this. I should have known better putting the table there. I think Franklin was a monkey in a former life. #franklin #crazycorgi #corgi #corgination #corgistagram #petstagram #nofear

He's the Joey of the corgis.

When Omelette wasn’t playing with the other corgs, he was digging a hole under the shade of our tent. It fits his butt perfectly.

So happy that Tegan is home safe. But all I can think of is Tegan saying "I'm on a boat." like on the Old Spice Commercials.

Wonderful news!

That FACE! Take all of it! TAKE ALL THE THINGS!

I love Gatsby! What a nerd.

So I was having fun at Disneyland, hanging out with Dawn (lovemycorgi), when I get a series of texts from corgdad. Not just any text. Panicked texts.

As it turned out, Gatsby decided to do some “rearranging” of his x-pen and managed to get himself stuck in a tiny square. We couldn’t see him on the corgcam, so we were worried that he was stuck and/or hurt (or worse…*shudder*). We decided it would be best if I went home ASAP. When I got home, the above pictures show how I found the pen. I cannot for the life of me figure out how he did that.

Sigh. This dog.

I texted corgdad to tell him that a) Gatsby is fine and b) that I don’t know how he managed to rearrange the pen like that. Corgdad’s response: “Ducking* Houdini.”
