I totally was going to take the day off from posting since I did three, count ’em, three posts yesterday. I don’t want to spoil you all, you know! (yes I do…) However, my girl Weather Kim has put a call out for help from Suburban Scrawl readers. She is hosting one of the many inauguration balls going on this evening in Washington D.C., and is having people vote on which dress she will wear. Both dresses are gorgeous, but she prefers one over the other, so she asked me to ask you to go vote. “But Melisa, wouldn’t that fix the vote?” Yes, yes it would. But you see,…

It’s Getting Crowded In the Coffee Aisle.
Last night, I was writing up my grocery list. I wanted to go to my new favorite store, I sent Weaselmomma a text saying “I’m headed over your way tomorrow!” Not a minute later, my cell phone rang. It was Weaselmomma. I answered like anyone would answer their phone when they are happy to hear from someone, “Helloooo?” And this is what I got: “Hi! Who the hell is this???” Geez. Put the big “L” on my forehead. She didn’t have my number stored with my name and didn’t know who in the world was headed her way. So *that* conversation got off to a great start, not. I think…

We Interrupt This Blog For Two Special Announcements…
Now that it’s 2009 and you’ve turned over a new leaf (or whatever), are you feeling the urge to reach out and help others? I’ve got two opportunities for you right here, and they require very little effort! First, my buddy Mags from Ms. Maggie Moo Talks 2 U has opened an etsy shop to sell some yummy goodies!* Mags is not only a CHEF, which–to me–makes her quite qualified to open up shop like this, but she is also lost her job a couple of weeks ago, and every purchase you make will help her out. In checking out her shop I noticed that there is only a shipping…

Disclaimer: This New Year’s Eve Recap is not for Dork-a-phobes. We had a GREAT time on New Year’s Eve. We were invited to the home of two of our oldest friends; actually they are our oldest “Couple” friends. (does that make sense?) Dawn and Scott live almost 90 minutes south of here and we only get together once or twice each year; although I wish we lived closer, our time together always ends up being worth the wait. Due to the length of the drive to and from their house, I was trying to figure out who I would ask to give Roxie a potty break while we were gone…

Maybe The Gals Over At BlogHer Are Looking For Someone Like Me?
Seriously, if I could get paid to read blogs when I’m not writing, I would love that. I have once again updated my blogroll and am feeling slightly shameful at how many blogs are now listed on it. Obviously there is no way I can read them all everyday (there are a couple that I can’t miss though!) but I have really enjoyed discovering some extra folks to check in on, now and then. Here are just a couple: My girl Jen, who used to blog at the now closed-for-business Huckdoll’s Hood is now writing at Eternally Huckdoll. I *heart* Passive-Aggressive Notes, and you will too. Check that one out.…
