Remember the Time….We Nom-Nom-Nom’ed?

Published on September 23, 2013November 23, 2013 by Kelly Suellentrop4 Comments

In the words of a bunch of English workhouse kids: “Food, glorious food!”

That’s the subject for this week’s Remember the Time Blog Hop. Emily of The Waiting and I want to hear about your food-related memories. Does your family have a time-honored recipe with a beautiful story behind it? Did you almost burn down your kitchen trying to make your parents breakfast in bed on their anniversary?

How Can We Be Lovers…If You Find Out I Went to See a Michael Bolton Concert?

Published on September 19, 2013July 23, 2015 by Kelly Suellentrop49 Comments

It really shouldn’t be held against me. I was only a kid. How was I expected to know any better? We’re all allowed to make bad decisions in our lives. The important thing is that I learned from the situation.

My name is Kelly, and my first concert was Michael Bolton. With my mom.

And let’s be clear. It was not Continue reading “How Can We Be Lovers…If You Find Out I Went to See a Michael Bolton Concert?” →

I Was Big-Time Happy to Make You A Little Sad

Published on September 15, 2013November 23, 2013 by Kelly Suellentrop20 Comments

I’m feeling very wrinkle-free. Being Freshly Pressed will do that to a girl.

So that thing all WordPress bloggers wish would happen to them but never really think is going to happen to them…because, you know, needle in a haystack…actually happened to me.

All this time, I’ve been trying to be funny, when what I Continue reading “I Was Big-Time Happy to Make You A Little Sad” →

Take That Bowl Off Your Head…Oh Wait, That’s Your Hair

Published on September 12, 2013November 23, 2013 by Kelly Suellentrop32 Comments

I have had more than my fair share of bad hair moments. But my worst one lasted for three years. Luckily, my yearbook photos from second, third, and fourth grades are still around to make sure it goes down in the annals of history. Or the annals of something.

My mom blames it on our hairdresser Ruth Ann. She claims that the woman who was Continue reading “Take That Bowl Off Your Head…Oh Wait, That’s Your Hair” →

I wish he would start sleeping through the night…I wish she would hold her bottle on her own…I wish he would learn to sit up…I wish she could tell me exactly what she wanted…I wish he would figure out potty-training…I wish she could pour herself some milk…I wish he would watch something besides “Thomas the Tank Engine”…I wish she went to school for longer than two-and-a-half hours… Continue reading “I Am Afraid I May Have Wished It All Away” →

Say Cheese!

It’s time to put your pride aside and pull out those old school yearbook photos. We all have them. No one is immune. It’s the great equalizer.

This week for the Remember the Time Blog Hop, Emily and I want to hear your stories about the epic fail that is the school yearbook picture. Continue reading “Remember the Time…We Had Our School Picture Taken?” →

A Lesson In Carpooling

Published on September 5, 2013November 23, 2013 by Kelly Suellentrop9 Comments

There are many awkward situations one will face throughout the emotionally unstable, pimple-laden journey that is growing up. One of those situations is most likely carpooling. It is a forced togetherness based solely upon proximity and convenience, nothing more. In my case, I was stuck riding to school with various families throughout elementary school, none of whom were friends or even kids in my grade. But most of the Continue reading “A Lesson In Carpooling” →

Shocker: E.L. James Took NONE of My Suggestions

Published on September 3, 2013November 23, 2013 by Kelly Suellentrop8 Comments

Twitter and Facebook feeds are blowing up. A cure for cancer? Nope. Peace declared in Syria? Uh-uh. Finally an Ikea in St. Louis? There are rumors, but nothing confirmed. No, the breaking news heard ’round the world is that the roles for the movie adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey have been cast. Hear me *squee*…………….Did you hear me?…….oh wait. That’s right. I couldn’t give a whip and chain.

Aside from the fact that I didn’t recognize any of the actors Continue reading “Shocker: E.L. James Took NONE of My Suggestions” →

I Am Now In Charge of All Things Retro

Published on September 2, 2013November 23, 2013 by Kelly Suellentrop7 Comments

Anyone who knows me well is aware I am drawn to most things retro. “Saved By the Bell“ enthusiast. Check. Fan of a boy band from a bygone generation. Check. An aversion to all gaming systems that aren’t the original Nintendo. Check. Clothes in my closet from not only college, but high school…that I still wear. Check. Being someone who lived during the “olden times,” Continue reading “I Am Now In Charge of All Things Retro” →
