oh, what a night! (december 1963)
My earliest memory of music must have taken place when I was 2 or 3, because my family was still living in Glen Ellyn.
I remember sitting in the living room, upset about something silly, most likely throwing a toddler tantrum. My parents were trying to get me to calm down. Finally, one said, “Big Girls Don’t Cry.”
Moments later, they began spinning a record on their record machine. The music that...

hey friends --
I’ve been a little quiet here lately.
Really, I’m trying to distance myself from my computer. I work on a computer all day for my job. When the work day has ended, I’ve been spending my time getting out and about; doing different things: cooking a new dish, exercising, taking walks, meeting people, reorganizing, getting adequate sleep… in general, fostering healthier...

this made my day :)
Me: Hi Eric!
Eric: Hey MEgan!
Eric: Vince and I were talking about how when it comes to music, women in general just don't seem to 'get it'. (go figure)
Eric: However, we both agreed that you are an exception
Eric: as is MK
Eric: so feel good

Kansas City Home Show
Lunch with the M’s on the Plaza
Garden Party at Donna’s Dress Shop
KU Game(s). People are obsessed with their KU here, but I guess if...

Just returned last night from a five-day trip to New York City.
It was fantastic.
Back to work, for now, but I’ll be posting about the trip soon :)

Monkees singer Davy Jones dies →

Last night, I dreamt that I was Rob Kardashian's...
… Seriously, it can’t weirder than that!
I’ve never seen a single episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” or any of the other Kardashian television programs. I didn’t even know Rob existed until watching a few episodes of “Dancing with the Stars” last fall.
And seriously, me, a bodyguard?
Weird…

Amen.
Check in.
Life’s been busy. And when life gets crazy, sometimes this blog gets pushed to the back burner.
But, things are getting back to normal, so fingers crossed I’ll get back to blogging tonight. :)
For now, I’m wicked late for work… yikes.

Subway Cashier: Um, I dunno how to say this miss, but did you know you have an ink blob on your forehead?
Yep.
