Holy shit! Can you believe it is already 2015? Where did this last year go? I will start by introducing myself for my first post. My name is Melissa. I am a true Oklahoman…born and raised.  I am a full-time office manager for a local irrigation and landscaping company, full-time wife, full-time mom of two beautiful little girls, and a part-time crafter/baker. I live right smack in the heart of Oklahoma City, where you can hear church bells and gun shots in the same minute. Thankfully the church bells are closer than the gun shots! We have four cats, and are often referred to as “the crazy cat people”. My husband’s name is Jake, and he is the butter to my bread, the apple to my pie, the cream to my coffee, the love of my life…or whatever cheesy saying you want to throw in there. We have been married since July 30, 2011 and have been dating since Thanksgiving of 2008…which means I’m almost past the 7 year itch that people speak of..!

I have a daughter who is 7 named Lilianne and we have a daughter who is a year and a  half named Davey. They are both polar opposites but equally amazing! Outside of work, wife-ing, and mothering, I LOVE to craft and bake. I love to cook too, but I think that is bundled in with being a wife and mom…it is expected of you. I also love to design. I have an Etsy shop partially full of invitations and stationary. I went to school for it, but decided I didn’t want that to be my full-time job because I want to continue to love it. I love to travel but it is expensive and requires time off from work, and let’s just be honest…it is a big pain is the ol’ ass with kids. I love coffee but it can’t just be your typical cup of folgers. The same goes for the beer I drink. So, I may be a little snobbish about some things, but at least I can admit it.  I have learned over the years that I have a mouth of a truck driver. With that being said, I hope it doesn’t offend you when those nasty little words show themselves in my writing. Put on your ear muffs if you must. I am somewhat scatter brained and have a hard time finishing a story without another thought blurting out of my mouth. I have diagnosed myself with CRS (can’t remember shit), because a lot of the times I just can’t remember shit. Except phone numbers and some random addresses of customers. That must really freak them out..Oh well. Sounds like a personal problem if you ask me!

For the wonderful year of 2015, I don’t have many resolutions. My friend over at http://sexwitandrelationships.com/ says that we should think a little more about putting the big “O” in 2_15. I couldn’t agree more. (You should read her blog BTW) These are the following resolutions I have come up with…

• put away laundry while it is still hot..that means taking it out of the dryer the first time it buzzes.
• start this blog because erryone is doin’ it…yes, I just said that. It’s probably on the list of things you shouldn’t say over the age of 30……………….I say a lot of those things……..
• Live more

That pretty much sums it up. I don’t have big time resolutions because I don’t want to let myself down. My life is crazy and chaotic as it is, and I don’t have time to remember all of the silly resolutions I made on January 1st. The one time I did was back when I was 18 or 19, and I gave up cokes. I am proud to say that I was successful and to this day, I rarely drink pop. I quit while I was ahead and have never really been serious about a new years resolution since. Every year will be the same….New Year, Same Me.
