Melody Meiners

About me:

My name is Melody, and I am a blog-o-holic. I blog, work, and play in St. Louis, Missouri, where I live with my dog, Sasha, and my husband. We do not raise farm animals, nor do we know how to flash gang signs. We are a typical twenty-something couple: working, playing, and trying to figure out why pizza has gotten so expensive.

I enjoy long walks on concrete sidewalks, dinner under pendant lamps of colored glass, and a nice Barossa Valley Shiraz. I have two bachelor’s degrees, one in English Literature and one in Education, and I am not afraid to use them. As such, I am an avid reader and I love to talk to people - hence the whole blogging and writing thing.

I grew up in a far-flung suburb of St. Louis listening to David Bowie (I will bet you a dollar I am the biggest fan evah!) and grunge rock. I died my hair blue and wore flannel for a stint in high school, and left soccer practice to shop at the Gap during another. Such were the ’90’s. During college I was a DJ because I am the only one in my family with ZERO musical talent and I couldn’t be in a band. Instead, I got paid to play CD’s made by people far more talented than I, and worked on my college paper as the Entertainment Editor interviewing said people.
