SPOILER ALERT: $15 iTunes gift certificate goes to the funniest comment on this post. Go, chickadees. There are certain words in the English language that, when you hear or see them used, you think that they are made up words existing for the primary purpose of messing with you. One word that comes to mind that greatly illustrates my previous sentence is the word “apropos.” Which, coincidentally, I misspelled just then as “apropros” because this word is impossible to spell. ...

Ever have those moments when you’re sitting at your computer and you feel like you’re going to write the best blog post ever? That people will start screaming your name in the streets of their hometown because your blog post WAS REALLY JUST THAT GOOD? And then you sit down and you open up WordPress and you go to that happy place on the left side that says, “Add New” and you’re feeling like you’re about to do something like ...
