I think I'm going to just stop using the internet altogether.

Approximately twelve hours ago I was multi-tasking, listening to music, and reading Wikipedia on my phone (which is attached to my gmail). I browsed for many things, starting with Skyrim things, moving to the Goldenglow Estate (a bee farm that supplies the Blackbriar family with honey for their mead operation) to Mead in general, to Honeymoon (because isn't that when you spend time with your newly married spouse drinking mead?). It turns out not to be about mead drinking at all, but a satirical way of referencing the first sweet months of a marriage before you grow tired of each other.

Down at the bottom of the page it says "See Also: Babymoon." This turns out to be a period just before or after the birth of a baby when a couple spends vacation time together either to strengthen their bond and enjoy themselves one last time before parenthood, or getting to know their new child.

Interesting, but not life-altering. Funny little moniker.

Then this morning I check my email to find out that about ten hours ago (roughly 2hrs later) I was sent a Hilton Honors Exclusive Travel Deals email. I usually open them to see all the places I could go, then delete them. I haven't noticed them being super directed, really, but some of the places seem like they'd be worth a visit. At the bottom of this one, however, was an offer for preferred treatment (late checkout, gifts, snack basket, etc) on a Florida or California BABYMOON. This is the second time I've experienced this term in my life, and it's less than a day later.

Coincidence?? Or Google shenanigans??? You decide....
