Ropes Course

October 14, 2011 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Today was a different day.

I woke up at 6am. Showered. And went to pick up one of my buddies by 6:50am.

Then we headed to Ye Kendall Inn in Boerne, TX.

It was a 30 minute drive from where we lived.

FTK Overalls and the Leadership Challenge class had a Ropes Course with some high schoolers that had Leadership class at their school there.

Yep. I skipped class. But it was excused!!

It was fun. We went through a lot of obstacles and learned a lot of stuff about one another from 8am –4pm.

One of the obstacles was being harnessed and having to climb a ladder onto a pole and jump to catch the acrobatic thing. I didn’t do this.

Another was having a high wall and having a group of people help each other get over. It was a daunting task. I did this and I almost had a heart attack. Definitely don’t have the upper strength I used to have.

Needless to say, I’m super red and dark from the stupid sun and am sore everywhere. But I don’t mind. I learned a lot!

That we can have fun and get to know each other and make friends and STILL work together and finish our tasks!

There was once when someone asked the group who brings the fun and some of the high schoolers pointed at me.

See. I’m cool!

Would You Rather Be A Mermaid Or A Whale?

October 7, 2011 by Mellie Dee 9 Comments

This has been circling Facebook and I’m not sure if everyone’s seen it. I think it’s a pretty great read.

A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?”

The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way:

“Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness.
They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia.
They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires.

Mermaids do not exist.

But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish?
They would have no sex life and could not bear children.
Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad.
And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?

Without a doubt, I’d rather be a whale.

At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.

We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn’t enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies.
We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated.
Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: “How amazing am I ?! ”

Popcorn Popcorn Everywhere!

September 25, 2011 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Slacker.

That’s me.

I’m trying to get my s***t straight.

So much stuff going on and so little time in a day.

Therefore Friday night, Saturday night, and tonight I’ve been studying, studying, and doing my school work like crazy!

I went to UTSA’s first ever Football Homecoming Game. They won! 54-7!! (I believe that’s the score.)

Then today I went and had football practice with FSA. I have the worst ankle brace tan. It was so sunny and hot outside, I got dizzy and even right now I don’t feel that great.

Anyway, you want to know what giveaway I won?

You want to know what’s in that box?

Thanks to Jenny from Picky Palate teaming up with West Bend, I won a popcorn machine!! I took a picture of it but I don’t know where my camera is at the moment.

So here’s just a picture of it.

I actually have not unpacked it and used it because I’ve been so busy but I can finally cross this off my bucket list. Is that sad? I have “own a popcorn machine” on my list.

But I can finally cross it off.

Jenny and I have been eating a lot of popcorn, and this just makes it so much easier! Popcorn 24/7!

Now it’s back to finding articles on Computer Graphics to write about then heading to play the soccer game with FTK even though I have the WORST headache.

Hope you all had a good weekend!

FSA Women’s Football

September 23, 2011 by Mellie Dee 1 Comment

I received one of my giveaways today in the mail.

Well … more like in the front office because no way can this baby fit in the mailbox.

You excited to see what it is?

I’ll have to let you know later this weekend. I haven’t gotten a chance to open it up. I know what it is, but to you all, it’ll be a surprise.

Tonight I had my first FSA women’s football game for intermural sports! (I’m not playing co-rec this year.)

My team! And our Defense coach. Our Offense coach was out of town.

It was a good game. We played last year’s champions and this game they only made ONE touchdown. We were || this close to making our touchdown but … yeahh. Close game.

It was good for the first one and with most of the players being Freshmans.

Then I went and ate at some Mexican place with some of the team members and spectators. Then Wal-Mart because two of the girls I was with needed to buy toilet paper. It was nice having their company. I haven’t laughed that much in so long!

I’m going to lay down now. Nighty-night!

I Heart Sweat

September 21, 2011 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

It’s been so busy … school school school. Blah blah blah.

I took my test yesterday so I’m a little more free again.

So free, that last night I went to watch FSA’s football and soccer games and even got PHO with the friends.

I went home and got my mail!

Uhh … JackRabbit?! That only means one thing.

Thanks Ali from Ali on the Run!

For years, I’ve been saying I love the smell of sweat. Which is kind of the same thing as I love sweat, right? So perfect.

The material is so nice. And so is her handwriting. I wished I got a bigger size though cuz my boobs are kind of tight. But it still fits and it’s comfortable. That’s all that matters.

It’s another lazy Wednesday. I am tired and just want to do nothing for the rest of my life. Is that bad?
