Love Bug.


I’ve been sick for about the last month straight. The other day Jon put me to bed early whilst he watched a “guy movie”. I’m not sure what movie it was, but our living room sounded like a bomb shelter and my head was pounding at every blast. I could not sleep so I got up for a piece of toast, more meds, and (hopefully) to turn the volume down when he was not looking. I sat by him to get a little snuggle (and closer to the remote), and HE drops this bombshell out of nowhere:

Jon: Can we get a VW Bus?
Melissa: (groggily) OK.

Then he got super excited and started telling me about one he has his eye on and what color it is, and how cool it will be to drive it to work. Then I started to think that this was not out of nowhere, and he had been waiting for the perfect drug-induced opportunity to ask.

And really when you think about it, drug-induced is the perfect mind set to have when considering a VW bus.

Dad look! I'm writing for FUN

I've had a strong desire to blog for over a year now. This desire is odd, given that I have never wanted to write for fun. Never ever. Maybe it's the fact that I can’t spell, and only remember what a noun, adjective and verb are by recalling funny Mad Libs from my childhood. I kept on shrugging the desire to start a blog off, thinking it would go away. I blame my Dad mostly, (he's a journalist/editor/PR man) for providing half of my DNA.
