Throwback Friday

I know you all were disappointed last week when I failed to post the weekly installment of Throwback Friday. I do apologize...so here it is yaw'll; bright and early so you aren't spending your Friday waiting, wondering, what this fool is gonna post this week.

Drum roll please.....

Connecticut Trip 2003

Oh Lawd...this was the most random trip I've ever taken in my life.
It all started when I wanted to see my favorite basketball player, Sue Bird,
play at the Mohegan Sun in CT. So I rounded up a few pals (all from different states) and here we went.

Friday: First stop was in Greenville to pick up Spanks.
Then to NoVa to pick up Gould.
On to Maryland to pick up Kelli Quelet and
lastly, to Philly to pick up Colleen where we stayed over night in the bat cave (I have a video somewhere, but can't remember its location at the moment).

Saturday: We got up bright and early and headed north. We briefly stopped in Jersey to visit Kelli's now husband, Keven. And on to Uncansville, CT.

We made it! We walk in the casino and who is taking stage to perform? None other than Nelson (you know the long blonde, handsome twins of the early 90s). U know you had their poster from Teen Beat!

And if it couldn't get any more random, a guy I was sorta dating, very much on the DL, because I was also dating this other guy showed up. He was working in CT so he decided to join us. After the game we then all piled into the car and trekked another hour or so west to Hartford.

We all went out, after many Jager Bombs in the hotel room, where Gould constantly was hit on by this lesbian ALL NIGHT. I tried to convince the lady that Gould was with me; she didn't buy it. Hoolarious! The night ended with me cuddled up with....no not the guy (damn, what kind of girl do you think I am) but with Colleen and Gould.

Sunday: Tired and exhausted we headed back South, dropping off everyone at their respected locations and staying at Spanky's 'rents home in Newport, VA.

Monday we all returned to our normal lives with lots of memories and an appreciation for "Bad Boys."

And man, would I like to find that video. I'll start looking...

This just put me in the best mood ever!!

Throwback Friday

While my life is pretty eventless and boring these days with finishing up my last semester and the joys that go along with school, I thought I would start a new series.

I'm introducing Throwback Fridays, a series in which I find a picture from the past and share with all of you.

And for my first installment of Throwback Fridays, I would like to dedicate it to my dear ole college friend, Spanky.


After Hurricane Floyd flooded out our entire college town of Greenville, NC, our chapter advisor decided to donate some clothes to us (see above picture). This was 1999, not 1969 folks. Her heart was in the right place, but please, like a bunch of sorority girls would actually wear this shit.

So one day on the front porch of the AOPi house, Spanky and I decided to don the clothes and put on a dance party. As this was such a hit, we did an encore production at the annual Pledge Retreat. Our dance, to the Backstreet Boys, became a staple in the Pi house and is still performed today. Today's dance is known as the "Snuggie Dance Off."

I'm Melissa....and I'm an Addict

I can't stop thinking about food.

Honestly, I think I'm addicted to food.

I need help!


That's all. People say Step 1 is admitting you have a problem.

There, I admit it!

Dare I Make a Resolution

I'm gonna do it; I'm gonna make a New Year's Resolution this year. I never do but I think I owe it to my myself and my health to make one and stick to it. So this year I'm gonna eat healthier and loose weight. My weigh-in tonight was 131. My goal: 110. And I have a partner in crime too. Dustin is doing this with me. I'd put in his stats but he might kill me.

Wish us luck folks...I think we're gonna need it.
