Lee POV: you’re going the wrong way
Guest post by Lee – see MeLinda’s version of the same story on her post I am the driver. When we go on trips my job is to get behind the wheel and drive. So when we made our drive to Big Bend National Park I was behind the wheel for the whole drive. MeLinda’s job is navigator, restaurant locator and to sit there and look pretty. For those who know me I don’t have the greatest sense of direction but sooner or later I will find my way to the destination. MeLinda is my navigational security blanket and most times I shut down my brain when driving. When I’m…

Why I will never get a full Brazilian wax … ever again
Because it hurt like a mutha. The end. Shortest blog post EVER. ~~~~~~~~~~ Sure, I could tell you embarrassing details about my first AND last Brazilian wax, which happened last summer. Is that what you want? You want me to relive it by telling you: the sweet girl at the front counter (you know who you are and I bet you’re reading this!) knew this was my first time and told me it really wasn’t going to be bad at all. I found out after the fact that she’s never had a waxing of the bikini bizkit, so she was just telling me what it took to get me to…

Lessons learned on Valentine’s Day 2000
I learned a couple of important lessons on Valentine’s Day in 2000. {OK, so it might have been the year 2000 or it might have been 2001 … it wasn’t long after Lee & I were married in January 1999. The point is, we were newlyweds.} Early in our relationship we settled into a tradition of staying in on Valentine’s Day and making dinner together. We usually did something simple — like making pizzas — and would watch a movie. Apparently I still had newlywed brain that particular year. I went out and spent way too much money on some hot pink, sexy get-up. I’m not talking about something simple…

The next big craze: pizza and ‘nilla wafers
Readers who do not live in Wichita, Kansas, may not know that Pizza Hut was founded here in 1958 by brothers Dan and Frank Carney. The original Pizza Hut building is still standing on the Wichita State campus (it’s non-operational though). I tell you this to explain that perhaps Wichita is the epicenter for emerging trends in the world of pizza. How else can we explain that on a recent trip to a Pizza Hut lunch buffet in west Wichita, vanilla wafers were on the buffet. Yep, right next to the big bowl of iceberg lettuce to make a salad and in a canister just like the croutons that were…

Kegel vs. kugel: choose your words wisely
So some kegel-y things have been happening lately, which I take as a sign to write about the kegel. Kegel-y thing #1 I’ve been tweeting for a few months now, working on building a community there. Follow me @melindaschnyder. I’m up to about 340 followers. About a third are people I met at a blogging conference last fall. Others are friends or colleagues, or people who are following me because I follow them. Tangent: Digital Underground is following me y’all! I tweeted about the Humpty Dance song and he saw it and followed me. If only that would work with Rick Springfield… Then there are followers who I have no…
