Well, Happy New Year to YOU!

Melia — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 20:33:55 +0000

Millions of bloggers are busy compiling their “best of 2010 whatever” posts so they may properly reflect upon the year that was 2010. I’m sure some of them actually had a good 2010. I am not one of those bloggers, nor am I bitter or tempted to dwell. NO! Not me, the Melia, because that’s lame. Super [...]

Stroke the Furry Pants!

Melia — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 23:53:12 +0000

I really don’t blog about my pants enough. In fact, the last time I blogged about my pants, I was at MJ’s house and received a call from Freedom at like 6 in the morning and, well, now he inhabits the basement. Where will this pantastic blog lead? I have spent the past few weeks [...]

The End of the Year is Nigh!

Melia — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 14:09:58 +0000

I am so happy that 2010 is ending. I cannot begin to express my delight in waving goodbye to this horrid, horrid year. Granted, I had quite a bit of fun, but the last half has been… meh. I’m done. I’m also don, because I cannot type and electronics hate me (thank you, Mercury!). This [...]

Humbled.

Melia — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 03:12:53 +0000

There’s no other way to describe it. From the series of phone calls today, to the support of my friends online and even the offer to help me financially from someone I just kind of know… I am a lucky, lucky girl. Y’all are awesome. Each of you.

The Blank Page

Melia — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 05:12:40 +0000

When staring at that blank page that writers tend to face, all the experts, the icons and the idiots say to just start writing, no matter how intimidating that entire page may be. So, what the hell, I’m writing. I’m blogging. I’m processing… and I’m preparing for the week ahead. Friday night, The Martian and [...]

Let the Healing Begin!

Melia — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 14:01:56 +0000

That’s what my summary tarot card said for my week. For those of you who are just stalking me for my online awesomeness, and don’t know my OCD habits, I have a daily (well, weekly, now) ritual of drawing tarot cards for myself to see how the day/week/month/year is going to go. It actually looks [...]

Reflections on a Kindergarten Thanksgiving Program

Bulls Scare the Pee Outta Me

Melia — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 03:09:20 +0000

Finally, a day out of NoVa! The kiddos, Freedom and I took the opportunity to flee Stepford on Saturday and head, well, anywhere. It was well past time to get the hell out and have some fun. Out. Away. Gone. Vamoosed. Did we go to Baltimore and hang out at the Inner Harbor? No. Did [...]

I’ve Been Thinking

Melia — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 20:07:44 +0000

After spending the morning in a classroom full of Kindergarteners, then running errands and thus avoiding work for the past 7 hours… I am awesome. I am awesome because no matter what, I make time for my kids. I work, sometimes I manage to clean, and I pretty much devote each and every moment to [...]

I Don’t Like You

Melia — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 14:26:40 +0000

Its been one heckuva week, Brownie. 1. Don’t ask me to do something, or say to “go ahead” on a work concept and then question me, over a month later, about what I’m doing. Its getting old, and I’m about to replace you with someone who will appreciate my brilliance and not ask me to [...]
