Well, here we are....we made it into a new month. Which of course for those of us at the lovely "Company X", that means wrapping up end of the month crap like timesheets, etc. Man, I hate that crap!

My new skin

Thanks for all of the comments on my new skin. It was really easy once I figured it out. I got it here and it was really easy once I figured it out. If you need help, I can try and help you! Just shoot me an e-mail or something like that. I also changed my comments to be hosted by Haloscan, so I think any old comments hosted by Blogger are gone for now. Sorry! I wish I could keep them all! Edited to add: When no one has commented, it says "No one loves me". That's where you click to leave a comment.

Cool Blog

I found the coolest blog the other day and have really enjoyed looking through the pictures. If you want to check them out...click here. Tell him that Melissa sent you so he'll keep giving me cool tips on my digital camera. Just joking!

Food

I'm really hungry right now and I'm totally wanting Chinese. I get on this kick about once a year and I can't get enough. I'm hoping I get over it soon, or the people at the new restaraunt in town are going to think I'm strange. (Or really love me for all the buisness I'm slinging their way).

A New Month

How crazy is it that it is already June? I feel like it was Christmas just yesterday. It makes you want to reflect on how you've spent your year so far and what's ahead for you. I honestly am not sure if I've done anything worth tooting a horn over this year. This depresses me. I used to be really active in organizations, had hobbies, worked with some charitable organizations, and cool stuff like that. Lately, my accomplishments include finishing books which really have no point (but I like them anyway) and working. And I hardly call those accomplishments. More like finished tasks.
But then again, I guess I am in the process of raising a cute little boy who seems to have a good sense of humor. He tried to exhibit that yesterday when he looked at me and called me his version of "Melissa" (hard name to say for a kid). This is the child who a couple of weeks ago refused to say "mommy", but now thinks the name Melissa is hilarious!!
He's also become fond of making a face that I like to compare to The Rock where he turns his head, cuts his eyes, and raises "The People's Eyebrow" (God, how sad is it that I know what that look is called?). It's actually pretty hysterical!

Father's Day and Anniversary

Both of these are coming up for me and I have bought a few things, but for the most part, I am totally stumped! I bought Landon a CD, a magazine subscription, and a cool coffee cup and key chain featuring the artwork of the famous Garrison Lee (very collectible masterpieces!). But, I still need to get a few more things and for once I am stumped! Sad but true, I have already thought about how I'm going to wrap the gifts for Father's Day based on an ad I got in the mail. I have some brown kraft paper and I am going to make the bow out of fishing line, lures, and corks. I think that will be cute. The one I saw in the advertisement also had a cheesy saying like "Out of All the Dads in the World, I'm Glad I Hooked you!", but I don't think I'll take it that far!
So, if you have any cool ideas, let me know, or my lovely husband will be getting a Bass Pro gift card for our Anniversary. Not a bad gift because the new Boardwalk shopping center just opened next door, so I can go and shop, but I'd rather get something a little more personal.
I have, however, figured out my dad's gift. Hallmark has an awesome ladder frame with the purchase of 3 cards and I'm going to get that and fill it with pictures as well as a shadow box and an original Garrison Lee collector's edition coffee cup!
I have cute pictures of me and my dad when I was a kid. I have one of us planting flowers together, one of him helping me "ride" a horse, a cute one of me in his lap with my "I love my Daddy" sweatshirt, and one when I was only a few months old and I was just staring at him and smiling. Only 3 will fit in the ladder frame and the rest will go in the shadowbox I guess. I also have a few cute ones of me and my brother as kids that I might throw in. It's amazing how much Garrison looks like Scuba Steve sometimes.

Get To Know Your Fellow Bloggers

Finally, a little game. Copy the questions to your blog and fill them out. Tag a few people to do the same!
1. Blogger that you most want to meet in person?
2. Blogger who makes you laugh the most?
3. Blogger whose template(skin) is the coolest?
4. Blogger you can't wait to read a new entry from?

My answers:
1. Heather B of course
2. Cheeky
3. Xtessa
4. Xtessa again...she gives me great ideas on topics.

So, I'm tagging the 3 people I mentioned above. Have fun!!

Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
