When I walked in my parents house on Thursday, my mom greeted me with a big hug and said, Moo made you a pineapple upside down cake! I think I might be the only one in my family who loves that cake, but I made a beeline straight over to her place. It was delicious. […]

I talk a bit game when it comes to me and karaoke. At the drop of a hat, I’ll tell you which karaoke songs I sing, which ones have the best performance factors, which ones are in my vocal range and so on. Truth be told, I have sang in public a grand total of […]

Besides my unfortunate hair incident, I think we could say that the proverbial cherry on top of my weekend was when I decided that I should break out into the robot at a wedding.

Me: Put curls in it, but make them loose. I don’t like a lot of hairspray. Please don’t make it look like I’m going to prom.
Lady at salon: I used to do hair in Milan. I’ll make you look like a runway model.
