    Okay, So I Lied.

    July 27, 2009

    I apologize for those of you who are Up.To.Here. with BlogHer, but I have to do two post-conference posts. But two is where I’ll draw the line. Seriously. And now, without further ado, I give you… My Favorite BlogHer Moments, IN BRIEFby Melisa with one S *Starting the weekend off by grabbing Sue from O’Hare and Weaselmomma from her house, then meeting Mrs4444 at my house. Sue gave us homemade bracelets which included “Be yourself” charms. Great reminder! *Thursday’s dinner at Giordanos with Sue, Michelle, Weaselmomma, Heather, Tara, Melissa, and Mrs4444 *Getting Michelle (and then Sue!) signed up for Twitter…finally!

    It’s His Day…So He Gets To Pick The Cake

    July 23, 2009

    Someone really super-awesome was born on this day and I just wanted to give a brief shout-out to wish him a Happy Birthday! I first noticed him at Joeprah’s; sheesh, that Joe is responsible for lots of blogger connections, now that I think about it. Anyway, the comments he was leaving for Joe were hysterical, and I started reading his blog almost immediately. He became part of the community I “hang out with” regularly online, especially when we joined Cre8buzz. His writing usually leaves me in hysterics, except for when he writes a serious post on occasion; in that case, his writing leaves me in awe. He was actually the…

    When I Realized There’s Enough To Go Around

    July 21, 2009

    This post, about an intense rivalry I’m currently having, is long overdue. I need to give you some background information first, though. Back in my teenaged years, the U.S. was in the middle of what was called “The Second British Invasion” (the first being The Beatles, of course!); we were crazy about all things UK; the big groups were (just to name a few): Wham, Tears for Fears, Pet Shop Boys, Bananarama, Spandau Ballet, Depeche Mode, Culture Club…the list goes on. And of course, there was Duran Duran. I, along with my group of friends, would spend hours upon hours watching MTV (when it played nothing but music videos. remember…

    Oh…Is There a Convention Going On Next Week?

    July 14, 2009

    I hadn’t noticed. Alright, just kidding. I have noticed. I’m starting to get pretty darn excited about it but haven’t wanted to talk about it all the time on the Scrawl out of respect for those who aren’t able to go and those who could care less. I do feel the need to do one little bitty blog post about it right now (and maybe one after the convention), so indulge me this once (and then that second time), if you will. Thanks. ClothingNo, I don’t know what I’m wearing yet. I am no fashionista, yet I want to look nice. I keep reading about these women buying fancy shoes…

    July 8, 2009

    Alright, alright, calm yourselves down. It’s finally happening, what absolutely nobody ever wanted you’ve all been clamoring for. That’s right, Weaselmomma and I are going to be live streaming a “talk show” (I put it in quotes because I am just not sure that we can call it that yet) this Friday.
