When Mice Attack

March 8th, 2010 by melis

you have probably heard my awesomely sucky story of finding a mouse in my apartment and the three hours it took me to catch it in a tupperwear container and flip it out the door last week. I thought this was the end of my mouse issues. When I came home this weekend from visiting [...]

…huh wha?

February 27th, 2010 by melis

Oh this just doesn’t need any commentary from me, other than I had the dream castle when I was a kid.

Why I am apparently undateable

February 21st, 2010 by melis

I’ve been thinking on this since Valentine’s day. I was never one to go and get all depressed over Singles Awareness Day, and personally when I walked into a restaurant on Feb 14 and saw couple in matching red outfits I thought they just looked silly not out of jealousy…because, they actually looked silly.

January 22nd, 2010 by melis

I’m going to start a new blogging idea tonight. I work with kids from age 5 to about 11 years old, and they are soooo funny. I live my job so much because even in the days where I teach the same exact lesson as the day before the students make the class periods a [...]

Melissa’s Miscellaneous Mysterious Meanderings…what?

January 18th, 2010 by melis

It only took a year and a half but I finally finished decorating

January 15th, 2010 by melis

I stressed myself out for no reason this week. I had an observation that went fine, the only time my observations go poorly is when I FREAK MYSELF OUT BEFORE HAND, but somehow I pulled myself together. Already got my feedback, so I don’t have to fret about this all weekend (and the news was [...]

TV addict: Things I am excited for

January 9th, 2010 by melis

1. CHUCK, TOMORROW:

You really have no idea how excited I am that Chuck was not canceled, or was canceled but the folks at NBC were drowning in Subway subs and didn’t want the Chuck fans to kill them, and they renewed Chuck. You know where I’ll be tomorrow night. I’ll have to lesson plan early [...]

Big Girl Makeup

December 17th, 2009 by melis

Haven’t posted in a good chunk of time, as the Christmas Season usually kills me….not that I’m really busy or anything. I am a last min person, and stress myself out by not doing anything I should, when I should.
My last post was about how I was going to make all these wonderful healthy changes [...]
