Hello, Melissa!: fried smelt 'n' figs

http://hello-melissa.blogspot.com/2008/07/fried-smelt-n-figs.html

Monday, July 28, 2008. Fried smelt 'n' figs. Two of my favorite things, both of which i only am able to have once a year. Imagine my joy when today i was able to have both together! Gourmets of the world are taking note, i'm sure. oh, and i washed it all down with a vernor's ginger ale. Figs i can usually only find at whole foods market in chapel hill. but today at the meijer store in ludington, there they were. 2 packages for $4! You can go vomit now. J at www.jellyjules.com. Never tried it, but I would.

Hello, Melissa!: ice cream

http://hello-melissa.blogspot.com/2009/06/ice-cream.html

Wednesday, June 10, 2009. S had her 2nd grade end-of-school ice cream party yesterday, and i went to school to help out. the kids piled on toppings, whipped cream, cherries, candy. really disgusting looking messes. while most of them gobbled it down and wanted seconds, one little girl was clutching her tummy. She cried. "i'm not supposed to eat that stuff! I asked. "are you lactose intolerant? Naw, i'm just fat! I weigh ONE HUNDRED AND TEN pounds! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Gone to the Dogs.

Hello, Melissa!: cat nicknames

http://hello-melissa.blogspot.com/2009/05/cat-nicknames.html

Tuesday, May 12, 2009. We have a cute little gray and white tabby cat named jingle bell. i know that jingle bell is NOT the best name for a cat, but we got her around christmas time when s was about 5. it was the most magical name she could consider at the time, so the unfortunately named jingle bell came to be. WHERE ON EARTH do they come up with names like this? And what on the earth do they mean? Poor little girl, post a picture of her, so we can vote on a name. Just an idea! Poor cat. You know, m...

Hello, Melissa!: i'm over you, diet coke

http://hello-melissa.blogspot.com/2009/05/im-over-you-diet-coke.html

Thursday, May 21, 2009. I'm over you, diet coke. Some of you know that back in november, i gave up my one-a-day diet coke habit. understanding that one a day was not really such a bad habit, i nonetheless knew that it was nothing but bad for me, and decided to make the switch. what did i switch to? I still enjoy an occasional diet coke at a restaurant, but MAN am i glad i made the switch. i've saved money, added variety, and maybe, just maybe, saved a little bit of myself. Scott S. Semester.
