A Bunch of Random Stuff......get use to it!

Today from 5 - 7:30pm our daughter whined and cried for no reason....it was super fun. She told me to 'go away', 'stop it', 'no', 'I leave', 'don't push me' (I never pushed her) and a bunch of other random things but I think the idea was that she wanted me to leave her alone.  No problem kid....but turns out I can't leave you alone while I lock myself in my room and have a glass of wine.....even though some days I wish I could.  Now she is finally calmed down and wants to cuddle and love on me.....Cheese and Rice.....love me or hate me but I really dont feel like packing my bags for an emotional rollercoaster.  Crap, I should have thought about that before I had kids, huh?  Good news....tomorrow is a new day and she will be back to the lovable kid I want to eat for dinner!!

Anyway...enough about that.

So last night I sat in my office for several hours painting on this wallpaper stuff and I've come to realize one thing......THIS IS GOING TO TAKE FOREVER! Right now I'm still only one the first wall so let's see how I feel once I finish this wall to see if I will continue on the other 3 walls.  However, I think I figured out what to do with my 4th wall....drum roll please.....A CHALK BOARD WALL!  Here is my inspiration:

One thing you should know about me (besides the 25 lil known facts about me listed below) is that I don't have an original thought in my head.  I steal ideas.  I mean why reinvinte the wheel, right?  Be prepared....I will steal your idea BUT I will always give you credit.  I'm nice like that.  Oh and if you wear cute clothes I will go out and buy the exact same outfit...why?  Cause now I know how cute it is...duh!

Ok...off to my next thought.  I thought it would be fun to give you a list of things that not many people know about me....well my close friends do but if you are knew to meeting me or we aren't very close then this will give you an idea of who this Mel chick is.  So, in an effort to get to know a little about you.....comment back to me and tell me one thing I do not know about you =)  It will be fun...promise!!
