First of all, if you’re not familiar with Lake Tahoe, permit me to school [...]]]> http://melaniedejonge.com/awesome-dog-friendly-restaurant-in-south-lake-tahoe-the-bear-beach-cafe Don’t ask me how I came across this as I was researching something for a client…sometimes click trails are just extremely convoluted.  But I did. I came across an article in the Cheboygan News about the Cheboygan County Fair Queen. And it BLEW. ME. THE. F*#&$. AWAY! So, here’s the deal. Six chicks competed for [...]]]> http://melaniedejonge.com/cheboygan-county-fair-queen I think this comparison could have easily been avoided with a little bit more careful consideration with regards to personal style…]]> http://melaniedejonge.com/kanye-west-people-look-at-me-like-im-hitler So, this happened today. I walked down to Starbuck’s for my iced coffee fix. And one unusual and amazing thing was, they spelled my name right! But that was not all.

Like many of DRH’s songs, I dare you not to cry by the end!]]> http://melaniedejonge.com/happy-mothers-day This video – Ultimate Dog Tease – has got to be the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long, long time. It was first brought to my attention via the Facebook feed of my friend, cool chick/rocker/actress/spin instructing goddess/as-big-a-dog-lover-as-i-am-if-that’s-even-possible Marla Sokoloff, but apparently she’s ahead of the curve, because several million people have watched it [...]]]> http://melaniedejonge.com/ultimate-dog-tease This photo definitely reminds me of some people I know – hopefully people wouldn’t say the same about me!
