I just had to school Christina on the difference between TLC and Salt- n-Pepa. How embarrassing for her.

– Friend Jackie and I go back and forth on her wardrobe. I just suggested some things for her to wear with a glorious long chiffon hot pink skirt and only a couple of them fit her standards. The quote explains why. The quote also makes me laugh.

Part of the Second Act series which profiles people who have, for one reason or another, changed careers and found success. There are some pretty interesting profiles worth watching.

Case in point: I just tried on shorts at the Gap. I tried on a 6 - you and I could be in the shorts together and still have room. I tried on a 4 - there’s quite a bit of room left, but they’re comfortable. I tried on a 2 - they fit, but were just a wee bit butt tight which would have naturally gone away with wear, but I’m not at all prepared to go that far. I had to carry...

Let me just say that what I know about comics can fit in a thimble. That said, I do know some pretty amazing people working in them today and Mr. Fraction’s one of ‘em. Also, I thought this was a pretty funny...

My ward and my new alderman! He just tweeted that maybe (fingers crossed) I’ll get my recycling rollcart in the fall!
I know no one outside of STL is all that excited about this, but I sure as hell am!
When

– ME! Talking to Nicole about my current state given my sinus infection, being in Boston for work, and my constant taking of medication.
And those meds have made it seem okay for me to quote myself (“nobody’s ever quoted me back to me before!”).
America, are we so lazy we need our cars to park themselves?
Yep. Still hate show tunes.
