Liquid Limo Light Night!

As a Christmas present from “the guys,” Girls Night was presented with a limo Thursday evening to chauffeur the six of us around the Cleveland-area lighting displays. Complete with three bottles of champagne, “Bob the limo driver” took us through Nela Park over in East Cleveland and through Public Square to rev up the holiday spirit, with a short stop into the Marriot’s lounge...

I left my hat on the tour bus!

A little bit country and a little bit rock ‘n’ roll. No, it wasn’t Karoke night Wednesday at The Wedge bar in Austintown, but a tour stop by country star Trent Tomlinson — and he certainly knows how to prompt a sing-a-long. Whether guitar in hand, shots with fans, or jumping on top of the stage speakers, his presence merges the heartbreak of country with the harshness of rock....

I wish I could make this stuff up… cuz then I’d be a writer. And I would be rich.

Time machine: I said “No, thanks!” (very, very nicely) to a guy I wasn’t all that interested. The rejection prompted THIS email exchange: Rejected Asshole: Well I guess you are a bitch just like the rest. Unreal. Plus i date girls with real college degrees. Plus you are 29 yrs old. Stop being a drunk. Mel: Awesome. I love when guys get rejected. Reject:Dating is like baseball. You have...

Sometimes a change of scenery helps… but then someone steals your feather boa!

Friday, the ladies scrapped the conventional goings-on of the Warehouse District to “see some new faces” where we essentially ran into all old ones attempting a hand at the same prize. Starting local, cheap, and low-key, met the early partiers at McCarthy’s in Lakewood. A few unwanted (and persistant) advances later and a glimpse an ex’s friends, I realized how much I hate this bar,...

Why my family worries about me, Part 738

This was my Christmas list this year: - bread baking pan (mine rusted this year for some reason, okay maybe it WAS last year, but I just kept using it… well, I got some brains from the wizard this year and tossed it) - nice set of knives (with BLACK base and handles to match my counters – I already have a set of wood knives) - good can opener (hand-held with a good rubber grip — NOT...

HOT-lanta or Freeze-Warning-lanta?

Welcome to Atlanta where the playas play And we ride on them things like every day Big beats, hit streets, see gangsta’s roamin’ And parties dont stop til’ eight in the mornin’ There was one day when I felt as if I had a vacation. This was not one of those weekends. One entire day was completely spent in bed — and I wish I could say in a good way. Nothing that a...

Not sure how or what to think, so I just won’t.

I waited for this day to happen. Maybe “waited” is an inappropriate term — perhaps, I subconciously knew the day would come when I least expected. My former thoughts resigned to succumbing in an emotion-induced hyperventilation on a random sidewalk somewhere, but my feeling is just… numb. Is there supposed to be jealousy? Am I supposed to be miles past being over him, that I not...
