Can I just say now that I’ve had one of the most awesome, hard, fun and unforgettable years in a long, long time? I’m kind of sad to see it go, but I’m really looking forward to the next year, too. So, that’s all I have to say for now about the whole “New Year’s Wrap Up” blog. Since today is New Year’s Eve, we’re planning our annual Lore Family Sugar Blast where we all go and grab the junkiest of junk food and booze and we all eat our favorite...
Hi. I’m writing this from the comfort of my couch in the afternoon hours of the middle of Festivus. Today was the big present pillage and plunder day and I thoroughly admit that I’m one of those people who likes to totally shower my kids with gifts. It backfires on a lot, but I do it every year, again and again, and only for Festivus.

Bear in mind, I’ve given up Christmas for Lent. So, in the spirit of true “end-of-the-year” madness, I present the reality of how I plan to spend the rest of 2009.

Eight days, like Hanukkah, only with as much religion as I put into Christmas! Melia’s Eight Days of Festivus has begun! On the first day of Festivus, Enigma said to me, “I...
This little ditty goes out to @CodeNameMama from Twitter. She’s awesome, simply because she responded to my Tweet about wanting to do reviews for all of the “as seen on TV” products, after seeing the ad for The Sure Clip or The Neckline Slimmer (WTF?) and thinking of all of the nails I clip here not to mention all of the necks that could really use slimming, in MeliaLand, and how I should just specialize in writing reviews for obscure fascinating, hilarious, horrible products in...
In case you haven’t heard, the winter powers-that-be determined that Saturday would be a fine day to dump 5 years’ worth of snow on the DC area. I believe our total is between 18″ – 19″ of snow, and some areas are worse.

We are pretty much shoveled out, thanks to The Husband’s determination...
