  • only in St. Louis

    Last week saw me with a white-knuckled grip on the steering wheel making my laborious way to work and back on ice-slicked roads. Today it's 50 degrees and sunny. I could have left my winter coat at home.

    Only in St. Louis. [...]

  • cell-less in the city

    I get all freaked out when I go somewhere and then realize that I?ve forgotten my cell phone at home.

    Saturday night I went to see HotCity Theatre?s production of ?The Scene?. As always, once I?m inside a theatre I always turn off my phone, only this time I [...]

She probably wonders how she ended up with a daughter like me. Im absent-minded, abrupt, impatient, disorganized, and forgetful. Sometimes I get myself into such a disorganized mess [...]

    It's not that I've been particularly busy this week. It's that I've been lazy. Yes, I admit it. Sometimes instead of burning the candle at both ends, I actually sit back and relax. This was one of those weeks.
