the life and times of emijayne

My fashion sense, although not perfect, has always been a bit too picky for certain purchases.  Those Christmas sweaters with the little scenes on them.. Crocs (kids might be forgiven for this).. parachute pants.. Well, my cousin posted something on my facebook wall about the dangers of wearing Uggs. Quelle surprise!  I’ve always hated them. [...]

Have you ever replaced the worn out carpeting in your home? If you’re like most of us, you drag that carpet out into your driveway or garage, pull out your weaving loom and yarn, and to begin to re-stitch each and every worn-out fiber. Of course you don’t! You drag that soiled, grimy, ugly carpet [...]

Months ago, I wrote this way-too-complicated Views set of blocks so that the child menu items would appear beneath the text of the parent page.  It was ridiculous.. I had like 15 blocks and I hadn’t even finished entering in new pages yet. Today I decided that I would make another push at getting this [...]

(I almost forgot!!!) Ada had been taught mathematics from a very young age by her mother and met Babbage in 1833. Ten years later she translated Luigi Menabrea’s memoir on Babbage’s Analytical Engine, appending notes that included a method for calculating Bernoulli numbers with the machine – the first computer programme.

I occasionally catch up on akinoluna’s “the day to day, semi-normal life of a female marine“, and she had this very interesting note back on the 13th: John Basilone is one of the famous Marines we have to learn about at boot camp and they talk about him all the time in Marine Corps history, [...]

Just to update my three readers, I’ve taken a break updating my blog as my life has been turned upside-down (for the better) over the last year.  There are just too many people out there who want to gossip about everything that has happened, feeding information to those I’ve cut out of my life.  I [...]

“The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.” – Psalm 145:14 The greatest news in the world is that God has visited this earth. He has walked this planet. He has made his great pronouncements. He has spoken his mind. He has declared his will. He has revealed his [...]

Today I will make a difference. I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy and hopeful. I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I will not let petty inconveniences such as stoplights, [...]

In the midst of an actually decent day, I found myself slightly frustrated over a work problem.. and so I decided to take a mental break to work on organizing my office. Unfortunately, in the process, I saw something that was a reminder of two friends recently making fun of me behind my back.. about [...]
