Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Part 38 of 365. Things that will no longer keep Melissa alive. Part 38: Farewell, the Twinkie. So, what are twinkies good for, if no one but me actually eats them? Here are a couple things:. Super Bowl party tray building blocks. In theory, if you just need them for building blocks, you could buy up your stock now and just use them year after year. They'd just get more and more strong. Links to this post. Tuesday, November 20, 2012. Part 37 of 365. Basically, I removed the c...

Tuesday, November 20, 2012. Part 37 of 365. Things that keep Melissa alive. Ok, the post that I was starting to think might never come to fruition. Just in case you thought I was all talk and no action, here is my before and after post! Grab a comfy pillow, because this is one of those long posts that everyone loves. You can tell from these first 2 pictures that not much of my time these last 2 months has been spent on the projects on the outside of the house. There was lots of strange wood paneling with...

Wednesday, October 10, 2012. Things that keep Melissa alive. Here's a sneak peak at my before and after blog post (coming in an unknown future era). Here are some things I've learned about being in the world of grownups:. Everything ends up costing more than the contractor bids. My original electrical work bid was $1800. And he said that was including a large buffer for unknowns that might increase the cost. I ended up paying $2300. Being high on Kilz is not nearly as fun as I thought it would be. Is whe...

Tuesday, September 11, 2012. Things that keep Melissa alive. Part 35: Downton Shabby. Meet my new boyfriend:. I know, he's quite a bit older than me - not much younger than my own mother, and his turf is on the thinning side. But, I swear I'm not settling! I see the potential in him, and like it or not, I will soon be spending much of my valuable free time with him. So, starting in about a week, you may not see me much. But if you do, I'll be the one with house dust in my hair and paint under my nail...

I saw the elephant: December 2011
http://glarcy.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 12, 2011. Part 30 of 356. Things that keep Melissa alive. Part 30: The Funny. I love reading funny books. And I love books that are autobiographical in nature because these seem to be the best forum for people to display their funny. I don't read a lot of fantasy or science fiction because these seem to be the worst forum for authors to be funny. Actually, it's more that they are a different kind of funny (aka, weird). Every time I read a book that I feel is funny and. It's true that Tin...

I saw the elephant: April 2012

Monday, April 30, 2012. Things that keep Melissa alive. Part 33: Other people's junk. The last few years, I will stop by a DI or Savers whenever I see one and walk straight to the section with drinking glasses. I have been collecting vintage painted glasses for a while and even though my collection is up to around 35-40 glasses, I just can't stop. I mean, what if one of them breaks? Or - what if the perfect painted tumbler is waiting for me at Savers right now and I miss it? I quickly looked up garage sa...
