Introduction | My life is full and tends toward mind numbing. Between all my boys, carpooling, hiding, figuring out ADHD issues, and completing an arm's length list of tasks each day, I usually try to remember to take a shower. I used to be very interesting, but I'm not sure where that girl went. My sarcasm and bitter wit have stayed mostly intact, although they can be unreliable depending on the Xanax levels in my system. My education has proved relatively useless, unless one needs a MA in literature to cook and clean. My family is my life, but they may well prove to be my breaking point. |
Interests | Books, movies, wine, loving life and enjoying as many minutes of it as possible and rarely remembering that the next day will come too soon, my kids, my hubby, my friends, religion, education, nature, animals, and I would love to be into travel but I don't have anywhere to go. |
Favorite Movies | So many to choose. Little Mermaid. Harry Potter. Lord of the Rings. Bridget Jones' Diary. Love Actually. About a Boy. Raising Arizona. The Jerk. To Kill a Mockingbird, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Shawshank Redemption. |
Favorite Music | Ben Folds. Tori Amos. REM. Morrissey. The Cure. Amy Mann. The Smiths. |
Favorite Books | Seriously? Anything from Homer to Dean Kuntz. Need I say more. |
Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?
My commemorative statue would be made of coffee grounds mixed with dark chocolate and wine. It will be a statue of me with a kid in my lap and a glass of wine in my hands while heading up a girl's night on my patio. Naturally, it will be to commemorate me and all my Mel-ness.
