This and That....

Here I am!! Ya'll excited? Let's think...what is new in the land of Melissa?

1. So excited for January 20, 2008. Yeah for Obama winning the election. I hope that he comes through with all his promises.
2. I had an eye doctor appointment yesterday to get new glasses. I am getting bi-focals :( Thank Goodness there is no line in them! Hopefully I will get used to them quickly.
3. Took Nicholas to see Madagascar II. Definitely a must see! It is hilarious!
4. I'm trying to get in the Christmas spirit. Got started on my shopping. It seems like it is coming up so soon!!!
5. Still battling an inner ear infection. Going to call the doctor tomorrow and see if he has another course of action. His first one doesn't seem to be helping at all.
6. Jason and I will be celebrating our 2-year anniversary (this time around) on Tuesday.
7. I bought a new cell phone. LOVE it! It is on that slides 2 different ways...one for phone, one for keyboard for texting. I am a big text-er (?) , so I'm lovin' it!
8. I got a new yankee candle....Candied Apple. Yum!!!!

Think that is about it for now. I'm going to go try to scrap a layout! Hope all is well with all of you!!!

Just a Layout...


Did this layout today. Went nuts with distressing. I was a little upset when the paper ripped the first time. Then, I realized that I really like the look!
Headed to Halloween in the Dark at HersheyPark. Will be back later this evening with my first real blog post in f0reva!

I'm Back...

Guess it has been months since I posted last. I am alive. I am well. I decided to just delete the old and start anew.
Had fun scrappin' my blog header and coming up with a new name for my blog. I love using song titles. This one just seemed to fit.

Will post another blog soonish and let ya'll know about things in my neck of the woods. Hope all is well :o)
