I'm like salsa--hot and chunky!

About Me

I love my fiancee family, friends and a good bottle (or two) of wine.
I'm random and suffer from what can only be described as "Melissa-isms".
I swear. Alot.
I have been told that I am a scary driver.
I can't wait to move to Las Vegas.
I love to shop.
I work too much and play too little.
When I grow up I want to be a storm chaser.
My neice Makenzie is the coolest kid ever!

My Interests


Get your own Myspace Countdown
Four things I ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ? Pink flamingos. Cops and Donut Slot Machines. Pens with feather and googely-eyes and socks. I'm addicted to socks! Just ask Booger. I can't go to Target without checking out the socks! And any kind of pen that is like really really girly? I'm all over it. Hey...when you work with a bunch of guys you have to buy pens that they won't be caught dead with.

I'm full of questions! Of course, these questions always reinterate the fact that yes, I am a full fledged blonde. Comments/questions like this always seem to get me in trouble....Umm..hey.. Do Motorcycles have air-conditioning? Umm...hey.. Is Free Tibet a group? What kind of music do they sing? Umm..hey .. What is an A Pril special? Lips on Beef? WTF does that mean?

I am the world's WORST cook! Not only did I managed to set the stove in my house on fire once...I did it TWICE. I'm AWFUL at baking cookies too. Even those pre-made dough ones cause me problems.

I dig extreme weather! The windier, rainier, THE BETTER! Hurricanes totally intrigue me. During hurricane season I do nothing but watch the Weather Channel. I know. I'm a geek!

I'd like to meet:

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

Music:

..I listen to anything! Pretty random that way...I can go from listening to Rascal Flatts to Monster Ballads and not even blink an eye.
If I had to pick a theme song for myself, I'd most defiantly say it would have to be "Margaritaville." For those of you who have NOT heard the story, it's a doozy.

Movies:

..I gotta admit...I ♥ sappy chick flicks!! The more romantic, the better! Some of my favorite movies are.... How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, You've Got Mail, A Walk to Remember, Sweet Home Alabama, Walk the Line, Lilo and Stitch...the list goes on and on!

Television:

I am *addicted* to Grey's Anatomy. I can NOT get enough of that show! I was seriously contemplating revolving my work schedule around the show--but I thought that might be taking it a little TOO far. Did you know that you can watch the episodes for FREE on abc.com the day after? OH yeah baby. I will never miss another episode AGAIN!
Lately I've been really addicted to the food network too. Funny huh, seeing as I don't know how to cook! :) I love watching 30 Minute Meals, The Barefoot Contessa, Paula's Party and Semi-Homemade. I had this great notebook of recipies I have learned...and that's about where the recipies stay. I suck..and I mean SUCK at cooking!

Books:

..I'm not really a reader....but if the mood strikes me, I'm more of a magazine girl than a book girl. Gotta love the gossip magazines!

Heroes:


My hero would proally be my sister Angie :) She is the most funnest person I have even been in contact with! She is a free-spirt and really doesn't care what people think about her. I wish we could all be more like her! She's got an amazing laugh that is contagious! And when she belts out Rascal Flatts in her car whippin' down 410 doin' about 70, it makes me laugh so hard I almost cry! I know that whenever I have a problem I can always talk to Angie. She will always listen and give advice to me. I ♥ you, Booger!
