MeLissa is a dork.

Jumping out of 3rd person for a bit - you know, I may even give this whole "make it sound like a storybook" thing up sooner or later). Anybody want to voice an opinion on that? I actually have to concentrate pretty hard to say stuff like "MeLissa is such a dork she started typing the entry about our weekend on Monday but decided to give Pixie the full spotlight so she held it until yesterday, but then forgot to change the date so it actually showed up before Pixie's post and so she wished her mom a happy birthday on the wrong day - sort of." Seriously, it gets a bit tedious at times. But, I keep at it...and wonder if the world thinks I'm a dork.

So, anyhow, the purpose of this whole message was to clear up the fact that yes, I made a mistake and I posted birthday wishes for my mom as of 3/12. Her birthday was yesterday (i.e., March 14).

To make this worth reading, I was just posting a comment on a friend's blog (Hi Kat!) and mentioned one of the sweet things Mark does for me. Since I'm jumping out of 3rd person today, let me just say that it is the sweetest thing. Every night (well, there are a few exceptions but *very* few), my dear Mark brings me 2 squares of chocolate to enjoy. It's become one of the little traditions we enjoy in our household. Perhaps I'll think about more of these things and then share them here...stay tuned for that!
