The MONTH OF MEL just got a little more interesting…

My friend Lee (aka Stinkydog) who will be birthin’ a baby any minute now, decided to add to the MONTH OF MEL to do list. Now it’s officially game on.

Here was the list before Lee:

• Video me singing Duran Duran’s Rio (very dangerous)
• Hot pink or purple streak in my hair
• Video of me Zumbaing (Thanks, Ayla–seriously)
• A short story including some online friends (The Romance Divas)
• Mel in a prom dress
• Something involving a clown (I want to know if “murdering the clown” counts as something)

And here are Lee’s additions:

• go to dim sum and try the chicken feet. (can I just say EW? and really? People eat those? ON FREAKING PURPOSE???)
• fly a kite
• buy a cool vintage dress on ebay. (this has been amended because I don’t use ebay anymore thanks to an online hacker)
• make a music video to your favorite current song–post it on youtube. (I was going to say “make a dance video,” but I believe the zumba may already cover it??)
• write a short story using my dogs and your dogs as the main characters.
• carry a digital camera with you at all times and take a picture anytime you see two people kissing.
• go to a bar you would normally never go to. (like there is such a thing)
• make me a work of art using only crayons.
• wear Red every single day for a week.
• recreate your favorite scene from a movie and take a picture of it for us

Because most of these things take a little prep time, I will start working on my to do list tomorrow. I can’t promise a pic/video everyday, but I do promise to do my best.

And because this is the MONTH OF MEL we should have a MEL POST so I give you a MEL LIMERICK

There once was the MONTH OF MEL
the celebration started off quite well
until she slipped with a meat cleaver
and gave herself a fever
and the only cure was more COWBELL!
