Cinnamon rolls may be good, but is it worth this?
Cinnabon update: (If you missed what happened on Thursday, I wrote about it here.) A third-party representative named Jorge called me on Saturday. He was very nice and wanted to hear my story. He especially was shocked that the woman never warned me it was hot water that she was serving me. He also was shocked…

Which one says ‘Melissa’?
So, I was poking around on Twitter yesterday and realized that I haven’t changed my avatar in almost 3 years. This has been my face since I joined Twitter in 2008: That photo was taken on my 30th birthday in Asheville, N.C. My, how time flies. And man, I loved those earrings. Don’t have them anymore…

You are a bad influence on me
Yesterday I posted this on both Twitter and Facebook: And it’s true – it’s something I’ve been thinking about wanting for a long time – but of course, it’s a huge decision to make – bigger than any other tattoo decision I’ve made thus far (see my other tattoos here). And every time I see…

Puking puppies, good referrals, happy home
Warning: This post contains mention of puppy puke. I don’t think it will bother you to read it, even if you have a weak stomach, but you have been warned! So, as I have mentioned before, my dogs are inside dogs but they have not been for very long. Everything is going great with them…

You see, the trailer was stolen and it’s not your fault but it is your fault …
It all started with a Twitter conversation: Heather: U-Haul is officially the devil. They’re not getting my money. Me: @baronessheather I have rarely had good experiences with u-haul. Good call. Heather: @melissaoyler They just more than doubled the quoted price I got yesterday by inventing all kinds of extra charges and fees. Hell with them.…

I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.
I’m in the calm before the storm. All the practice runs have been run. The playlist on the iPod is complete. I’ve done all the research on carbo-loading and energy gels and hydrating that I know to do to this point. I’ve picked out my outfit. All that’s left to do is run. I’m not…

It’s too noisy in here (so I’m told)
No more Twitter and Facebook together. Several months ago I started updating my Facebook status automatically based on what I was typing into Twitter. I figured, if I’m updating a status based on me and my life, then my Facebook friends and my Twitter friends could both get the same information, right? But since then,…

My favorite iPhone apps
Just so you know I’ve never paid for an application for my iPhone. All the ones I have are free. That’s not to say I wouldn’t pay for one; I just haven’t found the need to yet. So for those of you who just bought an iPhone (Stephanie) and for anyone considering buying one, here’s…

Facebook and Twitter: Separate but equal?
When I first signed up for Twitter, I was a little unsure of how to treat it. What’s the difference between Twitter and Facebook, I wondered? Do I really need another social networking site? I was already weaning off of myspace slowly. Then I realized the value Twitter has regarding people I don’t know: people…

Cheers to beers with no boundaries
All it takes is a little imagination. Proof that friendships transcend even geography: Was twittering with my friend Todd in Seattle (who goes by ElwoodJBlues online) recently, and this is how the conversation went: Me: Elwood!!!! (hi) Todd: Melissa! Hiii! You spiked your coffee today, didn’t you? Me: haha no, but good idea … 😀 Then our…
