About Me

My name's Melissa Marah. Well, my full name's Melissa Marah Anstett, for those of you who know me personally. I've been performing my own music since 2003, when a few friends of mine from St. Louis decided to force me up on stage. I owe them a lot for that. If it weren't for Robert, Stephanie and Matt, I'd probably be teaching kindergarten now instead.I try to write music I would want to hear. My music is like my personality: a bit of humor, sarcasm, and insecurity, but with sincerity.

School!

Next week two of my charges start school, one for the first time ever.  I can't wait.  Not because I don't want to have them around, I just think it will help each of them grow so much, but ...

Suburbs blow.

We just got back from seeing The Dark Knight.  Mikey didn't like it, but he's lame.  The movie was awesome. It was pretty obvious that most of it was filmed downtown Chicago, and it really m...

Buffalo

So we're in Buffalo right now. We had our bridal shower this Saturday (boy, the two of us aren't good at being the center of attention) and we got some nice swag.  Surprisingly, Mikey's scary aun...

byegones?

Sometimes I wonder if these social networking sites are really good for me.  I mean, we lose touch with people for a reason most times.  Yes, it was cool that I found my grade school best fr...

Six Birds on My Birthday.

So today's my birthday.  Meh.  I'm not celebrating today, so it doesn't feel like a birthday.  Tomorrow will.  And to those who plan on spending some time drinking oversize martini...

I hate you, Ted Lilly

Need I say more?  Seriously, can we get rid of this loser?  I can't even watch the game.  I'm currently watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding because every time I flip on the Cubs game I se...

Lazy Day

So last Monday was raining (as you all know) and there’s no way for me to push the double-wide stroller and hold an umbrella at the same time, so I got drenched.  Plus two of the three kids...
