I can't help that I'm nearly perfect!

About Me


Melanie
I am a slightly reformed "quiet" person. I can be a real impatient jerk (sorry honey), but usually I'm still sweet and innocent.
I am pretty much a complete nerd. I think that I am a good friend to anyone who needs one. I am a talker because that is good therapy. I go way overboard in the emotional department. Mood swing city if ya know what I mean.
I am really unsure of what I really want in life. Things seem so straight forward when you're younger. And then one day ya wake up and nothing seems right. That's frustrating! I used to strive to have everything perfect but got burnt out really quick. I have made my fair share of mistakes and poor choices, but I suppose that is how we learn and grow and move forward.

We Said For Better or Worse
I'm married to my high school "sweet heart" and we've been together for fourteen years, but only six of those have been "official." We function in a very dysfunctional relationship, but some how we manage. Do we belong together? I guess only time will tell.
He is very athletic and coordinated, but at the same time one of the biggest gumps. He gets into anything competitive even when his body is about to fall apart. He's good at trivia and most anything that he sets his mind to. You can tell when he's really into something because he paces. He also walks like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. Seriously, he kicks out the lower halves of his legs when he walks.
I mentioned his competitiveness. That's an understatement. He is the typical sports nut. He lives for sports. Basketball, Softball, Football, Fishing, Hunting, Weightlifting...and the list could stretch a mile.
Our Spawn
I have a wonderful daughter who is twelve. She is smart and athletic. She has a serious attitude problem sometimes (that comes from me). She loves to be the center of attention and uses her sense of humor to maintain that. She has a big heart and understands the need for good people in the world. She is the light of my life and a growing model of perfection.

My Interests

I enjoy making people happy. Showing a little kindness goes a long way.

My daughter is athletic and especially enjoys softball and basketball. I really get a kick out of watching her and my husband play.

Family history and Genealogy are so cool! It's fascinating to wonder and learn about stories related to your family and ancestors.

I really enjoy photography. I am not that good at capturing images, but I have a lot of fun trying.

I'd like to meet:


People with some intellect and moral character. I like honesty and truth. There is no room for spite and malice. I like people who have self control.

Pretty much boring is safe.

Music:

I'll listen to just about anything. I prefer R&B, Classic Rock, and some Country I guess.

Movies:

The Color Purple, The Notebook, any type of slasher film

Television:

Lost, ER, anything on the Lifetime channel, Little House on the Prairie, Little People Big World

Books:

I like to read a variety of fiction and non-fiction. Kinda depends on my mood.

Heroes:

Every person who lives each day with dignity and respect.

Perry Athletics Make Me Cry

To start this off, I am finding it harder and harder these days to separate the sweet self from the deep down rotten bitch self. I love my little town of Perry. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. We...

Calling it quits!

How do you now when enough is enough? In anything I mean. If you're never gonna be happy, then should you still be trying?

Yeah, I’m Judgemental!

I find it really quite amusing when I read that one of a person's qualities is "I'm not judgemental." Ahahahahahahah! I really don't know how that's possible. Do you let a child molester sleep on your...

When your cat loves beef jerky more than you

I have a cat that just loves beef jerky. And I'm talking about the kind in a bag. If she knows you have it, then she's your best friend. She uses her head to try to open the bag. Lys was sitting on th...

Escaping From Prison

I'm mainly curious what anyone else thinks about this because I have mixed feelings, I guess. Marie Walsh (Susan Lefevre) was 19 and committed some drug crime in Michigan, whatever it was. She was giv...

Perpetual Bad Mood

Is happiness so elusive or am I just an asshole? It doesn’t matter what day or time it is or even how the weather is. I am not able to be happy. I can find anything to piss and moan about. I thi...

Ode to Apple Crisp

Well, the thought of Apple Crisp started about when Jennifer and I took a trip to Ohio to get in touch with some of our roots. Her Aunt made a delectable treat for us and it was Apple Crisp. It t...
