ETA: The tickets have been taken. Hooray!!! Thanks to all who inquired! Here’s the scoop. A few weeks back, I was made aware of the fact that Sondre Lerche is coming to town. And I love him. So I bought tickets. Now, it has become clear that I will not be able to attend the [...]

ETA: We have a winner! Congratulations, MommyMae! A few months ago, I mentioned that if you follow me on Twitter, you’ll notice that I finish nearly every one of my thoughts/tweets/whathaveyous with #momspotting.

For some unknown reason, I spent the entire weekend dressed up as Petulant Pudding. I’m choosing to blame my foulness on the stingrays we visited at the St. Louis Zoo Saturday morning. I have to blame my ire on something, you see, and because the stingrays are now loaded up and on their way to [...]

I stopped by the Crazy Lady Starbucks last night on my way to work. While there, I asked if they experienced any sort of customer disturbance on Saturday morning at 9:45ish. And they had! Apparently, the woman who yelled at me in the parking lot entered Starbucks and started acting all crazy and screaming out [...]

One more thing: If you’re interested in reading about Snapfish products and possibly winning a $50 Snapfish gift card for Father’s Day, step on over [...]
