Struggling....

Ok, so I see I have a few faithful followers who read my post and will comment. Other than those faithful few I am not sure anyone wants to take the time out of their busy lives to read what I have to blog about. So the last few days I have been wanting to blog but each time I go to do it I can't think of a thing to write about. Since I don't have any cutesy little babies to show off and we don't lead exciting drama filled lives, I am really struggling on finding things to say that won't put everyone to sleep.

Help!!

Spring has almost Sprung

I know spring has officially arrived, but I am ready for full blown Spring!! First of all the arrival of spring means that school is amost over (2 months to be exact). Also I can start getting the flower beds ready for warm weather. I love seeing them colorful and pretty after all that hard work. Philip and I are planning on starting our nightly walks tonight, so more talk time with him. Finally, it is time for flipflops!!! The Easter bunny brought me some great new black flipflops. I can't wait to wear them as I walk down the beach. The beginning of spring also means that I must begin to think about swimwear....UGH!! I say every year that I am going on a major diet so that I can get a cute new bathsuit. This year I am simply going to say that I am going to get healthy (diet is leaving my vocabulary). Afterall, the health assessment required by my insurance company said that I was in great shape. I would hate for the insurance company to tell a lie. :)

Happy Spring.

Sunday Mornings

Why does it seem like it always takes twice as long to get dressed and out of the house on Sunday mornings? Today was no exception. Instead of the usual 10 minutes it normally takes to dry my hair this morning it took me 15. Nothing was working out like it should. During the weekday I decide what I am going to wear and that is usually what I wear. Sundays I change my mind at least 10 times. By the time I choose an outfit there are more clothes piled on the bed than left hanging in the closet. Am I the only person who has this problem? Sunday is the only day that Philip and I are getting dressed at the same time and we both have our set routine in the mornings so Sundays we interfere with each other's routine. By the time we leave for church on Sunday mornings I have either had a major meltdown or I am need of a 3 hour nap.

God Bless Sunday mornings!!

Getting Older

Now that I have been 3o for two months I thought I would share my thoughts on this milestone. A few people told me that their 30th birthday was horrible and all they did was sick around and feel sorry for theirself because they were getting older. Well, turning 30 didn't bother me. I never really thought about getting "old".....until one month after my birthday. It all started in the middle of February. I was so excited because I had managed to stay relatively healthy while being around sick children who want you to constantly look down their throat. Healthy didn't last long. When the flu hit, it hit hard. I thought I was the living dead. The house smelled like sickness and I didn't care!! Philip did a great job taking care of me and didn't even mind holding my hair why I got sick. After a week of doing nothing but sleeping and gripping cause I was tired of being sick, I was finally over the flu. During the next two weeks I noticed that my body was not functioning normal so I contacted the dr and he set me up with a gastro dr. Well, needless to say I have inherited the lovely gastro problems and the dr. wanted to do a colonoscopy to check everything out. Hang on a minute, I thought I turned 30, not 50. Needless to say I went ahead and now everything in my body that was not functioning properly is now back to normal thanks to medication. I was so excited to wake up this morning and feel like a normal 30 year old person, not a little old lady with a list of her medications in her purse. So those of you who are about to turn 30 (Jeanine) and those of you who have a few years, turning 30 isn't so bad...just give it a month.

One Year Anniversary

Philip and I had our one year anniversary this week. I can't believe we have been married a year already!! Since I was off for spring break we had the whole day together. We spent the afternoon getting massages at Massage Therapy Worx in Southaven and then we went out for a nice dinner. Everyone says the first year of being married is the hardest. Since we have only been married one year I have nothing to compare it too, but I will say it is definitely an adjustment!! Everyone knows that I am terribly spoiled. Since Mamaw passed away, Jacob has taken over the arm pats and calling me "Doll", Daddy would still make our bed if we let him, and Philip, well, let's just say his favorite saying is "It's all about Melissa." Because of my bratiness and I have to work on remembering that there is someone else to think about now. I can say that this year had been the best year and I know we will have many more anniversaries. Philip says we will be newlyweds forever! :) I love you Philip.

By the way, if you are thinking about pampering yourself you should try Massage Therapy Worx. They are great!! Currently they have a special for new clients, buy one message and get one free for a friend. Also if you are Desoto Co School employee, they are a perks member.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Ok, Here it goes.

Well, after dodging the online world for as long as I could and after much convincing from Philip and Daddy that I have way too much wisdom to just share with them, I have decided to start my own blog. I am staying away from myspace since I have at least ten third graders ask me daily if I have a myspace page. If they want to find me here, they will have to do a little searching. :) I am sure that now I have decided to start blogging, it will go out of style (sortof like when I finally learned to tight roll my pants in sixth grade). When discussing the blogging idea with Philip he asked what I would name it. That is where I came up with Just Melissa. This is Just Melissa. My thoughts, feelings, and any other profound words of wisdom I decide to share. Philip says I chose the name because as he likes to say, "It's all about Melissa." In a way I guess this sort of is all about me. :) Well I hope you enjoy my blogs and will visit often (if nothing else, to make me think you like it). Enjoy!!
