I am so flipping excited right now! There I was, jejely minding my business when I saw a link on Facebook about Listen To Your Mother casting in Baltimore. If you don't know about Listen To Your Mother, then where have you been??? This is an event where people come together to speak about motherhood. They do this in many cities across the country. As soon as I saw the link, I clicked on it, saw that there were still a few dates open, and then I registered to audition. Now, let me tell you Read More
Hmm. Apple, I’m Warning You Now Oh!
I don’t remember if my parents ever gave me an official peer-pressure speech that taught me to say no to peer pressure, but I know that there were too many times I wanted something (or wanted to do something) that my mommy responded by saying, “So if all your friends are jumping off the bridge, you will do it, too?” Oh, the rhetoric in this question!

Ada Verastic Needs Me, And It Makes Me Feel Like A Rock Star
When I thought about this post, I was going to title it, "Ada Verastic Is Learning Bad, Bad Things," but I decided against the title because although I still think that Ada Verastic is learning bad, bad things, I decided that the most important part of the post is actually how much I love these bad, bad things that she's learning.
