I was tagged/awarded over the weekend by the ever-so-lovely Jennifer at It’s All About Them. I’m not sure if I should be honored by the tag or insulted because I have been given a Weird Award, but under the rules of my New and Improved, Almost-40-Years-Old Attitude, I am going to smile and say, “Thank you Jennifer, Thank you very much! You’re so sweet!” And it is a really pretty color purple, too. Okay, it’s adorable. Basically what I have to do now is list (Surprised? Is there a meme that doesn’t involve some sort of list??) seven Weird Things about myself and then tag/award seven others. So, without further…

I’ve Been Tagged! (Part 2,369)
The lovely Sue of As Cape Cod Turns tagged me for this sometime last week and I tried to pretend like I forgot am just getting to it today. At first glance and considering my name, I was thinking this one would be tough, but let’s see, shall we? First, the instructions: Use the 1st letter of your name to answer each of the following. They have to be real places, names, things. Nothing made up! Try to use different answers if the person in front of you had the same 1st initial. You CAN’T use your name for the boy/girl. What is your name: Melisa4 letter word: Meme (HA!…

Does This Mean I’m A Big Girl Now?
Huckdoll* did a super-dee-duper meme (in fact, I do believe she made it up) a couple of weeks ago. She posted about her childhood thoughts about what she wanted to be when she grew up, and what she actually has been, job-wise. Read it here. I decided that might be an interesting trip down memory lane for me, so here goes. What I have been… Babysitter: Started at age 11 for, I believe, $1.00 an hour. (That was competitive in 1979) I even took an official Babysitting Class and got a card to show to any prospective nervous parents. From age 11 to age 16, I went from newbie to…

7 Random Things About Moi
Since I have the time, I thought I’d take care of this little tag I got from Stacey. I have to list 7 random things about me. I’ll try to make it slightly entertaining. 1. When I was in 4th grade, I had my first crush on a boy, Jay. Jay actually lived in the same cul-de-sac as my very good friend Suzanne. One day, I was talking on the phone with Suzanne and she was asking me all of these questions about Jay (she knew I liked him, alot) and got me to say something ridiculous about how I was in love with him, and then she said, “Guess…

Giving You a Peek Inside Corporate Operations
Okay, here’s meme #2 for today! I was tagged by my internet sister Melissa to show you all what’s in my purse. First, my purse. It’s a Brighton knockoff and I love it, mostly because it’s my favorite color. Now for what’s inside: Let’s see, what do I have here? I’ll go in a clockwise fashion, sort of. On the far left you can see my business card holder with my Remembering Ruby business cards. Above that you can see my matching red Brighton knockoff wallet. Then there’s my paycheck for my most recent Nailpro magazine article, along with a $15 coupon for service on my Pontiac G6, a Fiber…
