Pee In My Pants Excitement!

January 4, 2012 by Mellie Dee 6 Comments

Gross? TMI? Good. I have gotten your attention. Smile with tongue out

June just woke up and the first thing she asks is, “Are you done?”

In which I reply, “Yes ma’am. And it feels damn good.”

Andrew C. and I have been working on the newly improved FTK website for over 12 hours today and we called it quits at 4am. It is literally new – from scratch. More things will be added and fixed up as days go by, but I can say that I am very happy with how everything is right now. All because …

Andrew C. is cool! Andrew C. is cool! Andrew C. is cool! Andrew C. is cool!
Andrew C. is cool! Andrew C. is cool! Andrew C. is cool! Andrew C. is cool!
Andrew C. is cool! Andrew C. is cool! Andrew C. is cool! Andrew C. is cool!

I only say that because I was forced to. He wanted “Andrew C. is cool!” 12 times and he got his wish … but I guess now, that makes it 13. He’s one out of two in my life that knows my blog URL. The only reason those two know it is because I needed to show them how I wanted certain things on the new FTK website and how I was going to make The FTK Blog. I kind of regret doing so because Andrew C. uses it against me – always.

And with that, I am finished with the FIRST EVER! blog for FTK – The FTK Blog. I had the honor of writing the first post … only because I was the one that created it and it was my idea to start one. Lucky me, huh?

That would be our banner for that site. This is the sixth one I’ve created and realized that it is the one I love. Put in 2-3 hours for nitpickiness for each, it would equal roughly 12-18 hours of trying to create a good banner.

If you would want to check out those two things so that it won’t feel as if Andrew C. and I wasted our whole winter vacation working on these two sites, that would be amazing. We can become best friends or something … I’ll even give you a cookie.

Andrew C. and I are taking the day off. My phone will be off the hook. I don’t want to hear one negativity or something that needs fixing. Just compliments to Andrew C. and I for now.

But of course if things need to be changed, what can we do …

Dedication

January 3, 2012 by Mellie Dee 4 Comments

I’m on my winter break and I’m still busy working on school things. I am so dedicated.

The FTK Website and FTK Blog is getting closer and closer to finished.

22 hours until launch.

So excited and scared at the same time. Eep!

This morning I woke up and went to Chinatown to have Brunch with my mum and my aunt’s family.

Then mum and I went shopping. Bought my jacket for when I go to Penn State! Excited!

Then it was Website and Blog working the rest of the time up till now.

Well … if you don’t count eating dinner and my favorite form of exercise nowadays: Dance Central 2. I do the fitness kinds on there and it’s so much fun. Smile

Anyway, it’s time to catch up on blog reading and Netflixing. Night my wonderfuls!

Laid Back

January 1, 2012 by Mellie Dee 3 Comments

I have neglected my blog today. Those posts you saw? They were written from the past.

I haven’t caught up with my Google Reader since last night before the New Year rang.

Reason?

I’ve been working on building a new spanking blog and have been helping with the building of a new website as well. It took me over five hours just to make a header and the end result is as simple as can be.

All for FTK. For The Kids Dance Marathon at UTSA – An organizational group of students coming together to help kids with pediatric cancer.

We’ll be launching all of that on January 4th. Keep a look out. My Website Captain, Andrew C., and I have been working really hard on it and it’ll be great to know some people are actually checking it out.

Today has been very laid back. Brunch with the family then working hardcore on the stuff above. Then had dinner with the family and more working on the stuff above.

I love days like these. Family and doing something I love. Now time to relax with some Netflix and catch up on Google Reader.

Hope your first day of the year was JUST as lovely! Open-mouthed smile

2012 New Year Resolutions

January 1, 2012 by Mellie Dee 7 Comments

How did I spend my New Years Eve leading up to the New Year?

Picture0329

I woke up bright and early and went to my sissy’s downtown. Picked her and Brett up and we went to get breakfast tacos from Pappas.

Went back and ate with their roommate, Ross, and sissy’s friend; then sissy and I headed to get our nails done, redeeming the certificate my sissy gave me as a present for Christmas. We both got the same color. This picture does not do it’s justice.

We went back to the apartment, chilled, then met up with dad, mum, and June at Olive Garden. Shopped at Academy and dropped sissy and Brett back to their apartment.

Went home, took a nap (hehe), had dinner and played Mahjong with the parents and June. I lost … I never learned to play. It was a lot of fun though. Then mum and June did Dance Central on the Xbox Kinect while I watched. We counted down, ate some snacks, then clicked through some pictures from Christmas and Thanksgiving that my brother uploaded.

It’s been a good day with Family. Just wished I got to see the bro too.

**********

I’m not sure what my New Year Resolutions should ever be.

Reason?

I have a feeling I’ll never follow through.

Here goes:

  • Graduate from College – This is suppose to happen in May. Fingers cross I pass my classes!
  • Find a steady job – How does one look for a job? Help!
  • Lose 25+ pounds – I really need to bog down on this. Any tips welcomed.
  • Run a 5k race – I might have one lined up for October. There’s one in February but I don’t think I’ll be able to do it.
  • Stay in touch with friends – It’s always hard for me to do so when I’m gone from a place to long. Maybe by then, I’m okay with sharing my blog …

Everything seems easy and at the same time hard.

Wish me luck! Open-mouthed smile

Do we have any of the same resolutions?

What are yours?

Did you have a good New Years Eve?
