winning!

So every girl needs a compliment everyday once in a while. It’s funny how far something like “Hey beautiful” or “You look hot!” or “I love your smile” or even better “Have you lost weight?” will get you. I’m actually pretty sure sincere compliments will cure cancer. And Scoliosis. C’mon! you know you sit up straighter when you’re complimented!

Anyway…I do have a point here, and I think I’m finally ready to get to it…

Last night, Ian and I were catching up. He was very enthusiastic about my clean room (until I informed him he was to do the same to his room! har!!) and we were having fun checking out some of the old pics I found. One of which is me…lying on the beach wearing a bikini. The only bikini I ever owned and I’m quite certain this is the only picture of me in said bikini in existence.

Ian: That wasn’t very long ago, was it Mom?
Me: I was 21, so yes, 21 years ago.
Ian: You could wear that now.
Me: Very nice son! Your sucking up is really improving!
Ian: Really? But seriously, you know I think you’re really pretty, right?

Clean up aisle 9! There’s a puddle of Mel on the floor. Someone bring a mop and a bucket because she totally just MELted. (har har!)

Best compliment ever. I mean EVER.



his sucking up REALLY has improved…

My ex-BIL (but still my brother in every sense of the word) and my dear friend GiGi (and about to be officially my sister) are tying the knot today in Florida. It’s just them and their kids in a small ceremony on the beach (as it should be). They’ve been together for what seems like forever and it’s about time Tony makes an honest woman out of her! Love you guys and I wish you many, many years of happiness!

And to the rest of you in the Interwebiverse…Have a great holiday weekend (US side) or just a great weekend in general. Be safe. Have fun. Live long and prosper. Hi ho Silver AWAY!

to the point.

I (barely) survived the Day of Mel…did you?

We had the best time last night at SO. I’m seriously a very lucky girl to have so many wonderful people in my life.

Here are the only 2 pics that survived the night because somehow, some way I lost my camera. If anyone knows the whereabouts of said camera…please let me know!


I wore my new sexy leopard stilettos last night and didn’t break my ankle! YAY! I’ll post a pic tomorrow of them and my super glittery sexy toes. I went with the color: Catch Me in Your Net

Happy Day after the Day of Mel!

Here’s my #1 child. He turns 17 in just a few weeks. We always called him Treefrog when he was a baby.

Now his friends call him Nemo. He’s all growed up and stuff. His butt no longer fits into the palm of my hand (not that I’ve tried, but I’m fairly certain that’s an accurate statement) and now he’s wearing his first suit for tonight’s Winter Formal.

I’m a little verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves.

day of love hangover

Hope everyone properly OD’d on yesterday’s forced day of love.

Actually, I don’t have a problem with Valentine’s Day, but then, I’m not the kind of person who needs a holiday to give a gift or send a card. Or write a little note.

I’m a giver like that. no comments necessary from the peanut gallery. *ahem*, that means YOU.

The problem with being a giver is I get sooooo excited sometimes that I can’t even wait to give the gift. Like last weekend, I found this awesome Hot Wheels Airship and I had planned to just leave it somewhere for El Jefe to find after I left for the weekend…but of course, I pretty much walked in the door and was all “I totally have something awesome for you here let me show you it!” (and I’m sure I said it as all one word…)

Heh. What’s a girl to do?

Anyway, El Jefe and I did our V-Day stuff over the weekend (it’s lovely waking to the scent of roses in the morning…)so yesterday it was all about my friends and my kids. And we had a great time, eating food we shouldn’t be eating and laughing a lot.

Not really sure how that’s any different from any other day, but whatevs. It was the Day of Love and we had a lovefest.

Then we piled into my bed and watched Mike and Molly and Hawaii 5-0 while Kitty G entertained herself by boxing the mirror and playing with a hairband. FOR HOURS. (Have you watched Mike and Molly yet? That show is so funny!)

I hope you were treated to something very special and that the only coupons involved were from a book of love…

pucker up!

Do you know how hard it is to send a pretty pucker to your boyfriend for Valentine’s Day?

Very hard.

My puckers were not the prettiest of lips today. I tried…OH how I tried to get the right pucker. But…It just wasn’t happening.

I really wanted to send the perfect pucker:


But it was blurry and the lighting was weird. Would El Jefe care about all that? No. But I did.

So I tried again…different lights; different angles; different distances from the lips…

THOSE pics will not be seen by anyone. Mostly I just looked like I had been punched in the face. Not very romantic…

So I went a different route. I sent him a note, S.W.A.K (you remember sealed with a kiss if you were around anywhere near the 80s…) And I texted him a Valentine’s Day smile… which is much better than a punched-in-the-face pucker any day.

We went to Oaklawn with some friends on Saturday. It was the perfect day to introduce El Jefe to the art of throwing your money away on the pretty ponies. He actually won some, so it wasn’t a total bust. 🙂 We had a great time, and the weather was awesome. OMG soooo awesome.

I almost wore my new sexy shoes to work today, but it isn’t quite close enough to spring to be wearing them yet. Even if the weather was pretending to be open-toed shoe weather…the reality is, it’s still February and I do have some sense… (for the record, they look fantastic with my brown pencil skirt…)

Happy love day everyone!

Internetz, have I ever told you how much I love sock monkeys?

Do you wanna know how happy I was when I arrived at El Jefe’s house Friday night to find this little happy waiting for me?El Jefe wins bonus points and a cookie! Oh yes. I love my sock monkey hat. I will wear it and you will love me in it.

And you know what else happened that’s related to sock monkeys? Nemo (my 16 year old) gave me this sock monkey last night when I returned home. Yes, it was a sock monkey weekend all around!

The men in my life did all right by me this weekend. Yay!

Did y’all have a good weekend? I have stuff to catch up on, so fill me in!

my wasted heart will always love you

My final movie is the best Christmas movie of all time. No it is not A Christmas Story or a Christmas Vacation. Those are definitely in the top 5 and I’m sorry I didn’t quote the Griswold’s during my movie journey.

No, IMO the best holiday movie of all time is: Love Actually.

I watched it again last night and I cried like a big ol’ baby teared up a tiny bit like I always do. There are so many wonderful scenes and quotes in this movie. I love it when the Prime Minister says to Margaret Thatcher’s painting: You have this kind of problem? Yeah… of course you did, you saucy minx!

There’s something wonderful about each story in this film and every time we get to the conclusion of a different character’s storyline, I find myself thinking “THIS is my favorite storyline.” Then we move to the next one and then I think “No, THIS is my favorite storyline.” So, I have two favorite scenes and a hundred favorite lines. Without showing you the entire movie, here’s what you get today:

Karen: Mia’s very pretty.
Harry: Is she?
Karen: You know she is, darling. Be careful there.

I chose this exchange because it breaks my heart every time. It sets this story up so well and it shows a very real exchange. Women are very observant and men are oftentimes too thick to listen. Which makes this story even sadder because had he listened, it would have been avoided. (I always, always, always hope that each time I watch the movie Harry decides to give Karen the necklace. LOL I’m such a sucker)

Sam:Worse than the total agony of being in love?

Billy Mack: And I realized that, as dire chance and… and… and fateful cockup would have it, here I am, mid-50s, and without knowing it I’ve gone and spent most of my adult life with a… with a chubby employee. And… and much as it grieves me to say it, it… it might be that the people I love is, in fact… you.
Joe: Well, this is a surprise.
Billy Mack: Yeah.
Joe: Ten minutes at Elton John’s, you’re as gay as a maypole!

Best Bromance ever.

And of course, the two scenes that turn me into mush:

My wasted heart will always love you (OMG this line!!!)
