This Month Is Such A Special One...

ITS BIRTHDAY TIME FOR YOU!!!!
That's right folks, Meli turned one this month! Can you believe it? I sure can't! So, I'm going to share with you a few NEW things Meli has started doing that I really enjoy...


- She actually now likes having her belly scratched. She comes running up on the bed and just rolls on over for you.


- She HATES having her back feet touched. I'm not sure why this is but she's growl at you(just a heads up for those of you who were thinking of doing this...) But I still like to tease her and touch them.


-She LOVES having her necked scratched. Sometimes if you start scratching and then decide to stop she'll start softly pawing you to continue...and if you go to her face and she wants it lower she'll paw your arm until you move it down.


-But mostly, I love having her sleep with us. She doesn't start out on our bed, she actually steals Kona's bed from her, so Kona is on her TINY little bed. But sometime in the middle of the night she jumps up there and hits my arm so I know I need to lift up the sheets so she can nestle her way in.






And as for all the tags I've been getting hit with...I will do them now....so enjoy those too....



6 Quirks



1- I HATE feet!! I hate socks, shoes, or anything dealing with feet. People who touch my feet weird me out. I will never touch your feet.I think I actually got this weird quirk from Andria, long long ago...



2-I love to look at myself in a mirror, reflection, etc...Ha, all of you people thought I was over this? No way! When I was younger I always got mocked because during dinner I would stare at myself in the window. This has not changed, I still stare at myself in the glass at work that's across from me. Any chance I have to check myself out, I do it! Vein or what!?



3-I love peanut butter....like really really love it. Thanks to Crystal I found a new love for peanut butter. I actually HATED peanut butter like 2 years ago but now I crave peanut butter treats all the time. Peanut Butter Cake anyone??



4-I'm anal about my weekly schedule. I have to plan things out precisely. This has caused many problems with Daren because he likes to just wait and see what happens. Sometimes he doesn't decide until the day before we're going to go to his parents house, oh the grief and stress that has caused me. I know when I have to do every chore, break, etc...



5-I have a lot of clothing issues. I'm a freak about what I'm wearing sometimes. I'm a seasonal dresser, I'm a matching freak, and I feel like if I wear the same thing I wore the last time I saw you hell just might freeze over. Again, this has brought a lot of chances for my family to make fun of me over the years. I can't really explain just how awful and tedious it is to be me, just kidding kind of, but its a full time job all within itself. I'm really joking but I care too much about it...



6-This is the first presidential election I get to actually vote for, just 3 weeks shy of the last one. And I feel like its a huge decision for me. I'm not one for politics because my family gets really heated about the issues but I feel like no matter who I pick my vote will be the deciding one. Am I hilarious or what?

I have to say I love this post!! It is so fun. First I can't believe you have had Meli for a year. That is crazy. Second I love the new hair!! So jealous!!! I love hearing about you too. I hate feet. I love peanut butter. I can enjoy the occasional mirror. I think you love looking at yourself because I always make you look so pretty when you were little!! I think it is great you care about the election. I just think it is important to vote!!! Well I can't wait to hang out again. I wish you were going to be around on Thanksgiving but at least the Boston Christmas is just around the corner!! Love ya

How can you stand getting pedicures if you hate feet so much!? I'm sure I knew that you didn't like feet, but I guess I didn't remember that little quirk about you because I'm always putting my feet everywhere, I'm sure that drives you nuts.... sorry.

I'm so glad that I converted you to the dark side of peanut butter. Seriously, nothing is better than your peanut butter cake with that delicious icing... ummm... I'm dying for some right now

I have to laugh that melting pot made your list of favorite restaurants even though you haven't eaten there. But I agree with you, i'm sure you would love it, it was delectable.

I'm sorry that your cold didn't go away the next day like you thought it would, but on the bright side at least you didn't have to go to work, right?

I can't tell you how proud I am of you for how seriously you're taking the election. I think if Taylor didn't fill me in on all the details or turn the debates on I would have no clue what was going on. Kudos and let's go vote!
