101 THINGS EVERY ST. LOUISAN MUST DO

Not being a St. Louis native, I thought some of these were a great way to learn more about the city. According to the St. Louis Magazine article, it's the difference between just living in St. Louis and being a St. Louisan. Who knew?

JUST THOUGHT :: PART 02

"My brain is like oatmeal. I yelled at Kenny today for coloring outside the lines! Megan and I are starting to watch the same TV shows, and I'm liking them! I'm losing it."

-Originally, Jack Butler. This morning, me.

JUST THOUGHT :: PART 01

"I wish life were a little more like being on an episode of 'Press Your Luck.' At least you'd have a whammy to cheer you up when things go wrong."

Thanks, Daffy.

YO! MTV Raps to Yo Gabba Gabba!?!

I'm not sure if I'm more surprised now than the late eighties version of myself would have been, but more than 20 years later I was just as happy to hear Biz Markie's beats break into "Just a Friend".

While a few things have changed, I wasn't roller skating or watching YO! MTV Raps with my friends, I was at the Yo Gabba Gabba show with my husband and 2-year old. It was still a Friday night out. A girl has every reason to get pretty excited, right?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Late to the Party

I'd think it too late to post this, it being the week before Thanksgiving, but I'm just coming down from my post Halloween candy high and getting around to it. That and I figured anyone who was at Coolfire's "X" party might enjoy my wink at being a little late to the party. Ha.

I love Halloween and feel like a great party is one where everyone gets totally into the "spirit", dressing up and having a fabulous time. Certainly one of the best parties every year, this year's did not disappoint. From the costumes and energy of everyone there, to the excitement of the Nelly show, I'm already looking forward to next year.
