2011: Month of Mel day 25: Let them eat SUSHI!

Posted on by

Jenner, my High School BFF (pictured here with our friend Nick who (sadly) will not be with us today), will be joining me today for a late birthday lunch. She was unable to make my dinner, so we are going on a date today.

For Sushi!

I’ve been craving sushi since El Jefe was in Amsterdam and bragging on a daily basis about the sushi he was eating. Now to be honest, it has taken me a while to develop a taste for sushi, mainly because I’m a texture girl and sometimes the rubbery rice is just gross.

BUT I love Wasabi and I love, love, love a yummy tempura roll (which I know is cheating slightly) and I’ve found a couple of other sushi rolls that I really enjoy as well.

We are heading to Sushi Cafe today, and I will probably order their Bento Box lunch plate which offers a plethora of yumminess. And I may have to order some extra sushi on the side…you know, just to get my fill…

It’s supposed to be coldish and rainy this weekend and I asked the boys what they wanted to do and they said, “Chill.” Okay. I’m down with that. It’s actually what I do best… So we’re gonna chill (thank goodness for snuggies) what are you gonna do?

2011: The Month of Mel Day 24: Listen up!

Dear Internetwebz with your foot fetishes,

Check out my sexy new slippers…

Aw yeah. These are HAWT and you know it. (well the pedicure is, anyway)

So yesterday, I had a new experience and I’m dying to talk about it. But I can’t. But I’m going to talk about a few things I witnessed while I was experiencing my new experience…

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, when you’re in a waiting room (and I don’t care what kind of waiting room it is) please do not listen to your music without headphones.
  • Please don’t talk on your bluetooth device as loudly as possible (because you have to raise your voice to compete with the other bluetooth talker.)
  • Please, please, please don’t wear the strongest, cheapest, headache inducing perfume known to man, and for the love of the gods, PLEASE don’t respray it while in the waiting room.
  • If you’re texting, turn THE VOLUME OFF and use the vibrate or silent mode. I said OFF not UP. Holy crap. That’s an obnoxious texting tone and it does not need to be heard in the next county.
  • It’s really not cool to bitch at the people that “you’ve been waiting thirty minutes, hurry the EFF up, already.” That is not going to get you seen any quicker. I promise.
  • DON’T FREAKING SMACK YOUR GUM.
  • If you’re playing a video game on your iPod, turn the volume OFF.
  • See my slippers above? They are to be worn in my house only. Not outside, in the public.
  • That robe you have on? Also should be worn at home.
  • Ditto the rollers.

Have we learned something today, Internetwebz? I sure hope so…

2011: Month of Mel; Day 23

Yesterday I had a bit of a set back and my personal sparkle dulled for a while. Dudes, I’m not a big fan of dull so yesterday didn’t work for me at all.

I’m better today. Much better. It’s amazing how little notes and phone calls from friends can make you light up like a sparkler. I will never forget how lucky I am to have the people in my life that I do. I am good at surrounding myself with awesome. 🙂

And look! Sparkle Plenty can be yours, too!

But only if you’re a girl…

You know what else made me feel better? Watching Daniel Tosh Completely Serious on Netflix. Holy Crappin’ Damn he’s funny. And sooooo not right. Which makes me love him even more. Here’s an example of the awesome. It is sooooo very NSFW (unless you wear headphones…)

I got people to see and stuffs to do today. I’m having my Bday lunch with my bestie from high school on Friday. Yay for Sushi! Can’t wait!

Happy Humpday. Or Wine Wednesday. However you choose to celebrate…you know there’s no judgement here…

2011: Month of Mel Day 22: spring!

This morning I’m enjoying my coffee on my screened-in-porch watching the kittehs wreak havoc in the yard. No dead bird gifts so far, but it’s not for lack of trying…Clementine has also been skulking after the bunnies. Let’s hope she’s unsuccessful this year; sadly she wasn’t last year. She is hard.

I’m also blogging from my iPad today. (all hail ¡el jefe!). I’m using the touchscreen keyboard which is relatively easy to use. I’m even using both hands…and honestly I thought it would be more like texting than typing. So even tho I miss my baby Mac, my darling iPad looks to be a good substitute until I can get Mac fixed. iPad needs a name though. Will gladly take suggestions.

It’s going to be warm again today but it seems kinda overcast. I am supposed to walk with Birdrunner this afternoon so the weather better cooperate.

I did not get kidnapped by leprechauns last night, nor did I find the pot o’ gold. But I did have a fantastic time with a group of women that I will be traveling to the beach with in exactly 46 days.

If y’all know anything about me, it’s that I need to be at the beach. Remember my charm necklace? One of my charms says Sand, Sun, Surf and that is pretty much my key to happiness right there.
This weekend is supposed to be gorgeous. We’re gonna have near 80 degree weather (it was actually 85 yesterday!!) and SUNSHINE! I am going to allow the sun to worship me all weekend. I’m not exactly sure what my plans are yet, but I promise to report back on Monday–with a tan line.
Okay, it’s off to work I go now, but I will be done at noon, and you will find me sitting in the sun reading by 12:30… Okay, maybe 1:30 as I do need to do a few things inside the house first…
Y’all have a great weekend! If you have any big plans, report them to me. If you are snowed in somewhere, I’ll try to send some sun vibes your way.

Are ye wearin’ yer green today, lads and lassies?

I haven’t started looking for my four-leaf clovers yet, but I’m thinking today might be the perfect day to start! You know I’ll find one if I try…

Today is going to be a banner day! I’m wearing my green dress and pretending to be Irish all day… You know what that means, right?

That’s right! I pretend to be Irish and you get to kiss me! Lucky you!

I’m also going to listen to some of my favorite Irish bands today: The Pogues, Flogging Molly, Elvis Costello (English born, Irish ancestory. and I heart him), Sinead O’Connor, The Cranberries, Thin Lizzy… Firing up my Pandora station as we speak!

And tonight, when I get home, I think I’ll have to watch P.S. I Love You one more time. Sigh.

Here’s some links to some of my favorite scenes from that movie:

Galway Girl

I Love You til the End

And this song is my current ringtone:

2011: The Month of Mel; The DAY OF NEMO

My eldest son turns 17 today. (Obviously I was a teen mom…) It’s so difficult for me to remember this child:

Ian may be known as Nemo by all of his friends now, but when he was first born, he was known as Treefrog. He was born almost a full month early (Thank the maternity gods) and was a tee-tiny little 5 lbs 6 oz. Which means his itty bitty booty fit into the palm of my hand.
Then our little Treefrog grew up and we started to call him Goose. (I can’t remember for the life of me why.) Anyway, Goose had a real hard time keeping his clothes on. I think he was probably 5 or 6 years old before we convinced him that joining a Nudist Colony was not a part of our life plan, so please put on your underwear.



My baby ain’t a baby no more… Happy Birthday, Nemo. Let’s eat some ribs tonight!

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!

It’s my birthday. Let’s all eat pie.

I’m having dinner with El Jefe and a group of friends tonight. I’m going to wear my sexy new shoes and show off my beautiful glittery toes. And I’m going to have a really good time.
I’d also like to send a Birthday Shout Out to my fellow Pi girl, Beth. We share the same bday which isn’t a surprise since the rest of our lives have been hauntingly parallel.
Here is a pic of me and ALL CAPS KRISTAL from my bday party last year. I may have to wear my tiara and feathers again tonight, but I really don’t want them to detract from my shoes. 😀
