Add-Ons

I feel like I’ve gotten a lot done lately. But I’m always looking for new stuff to do. I’m adding more to The List:

- buy an American flag and learn how to hang it correctly outside of my house – learn how to fold a fitted sheet – attend a farm to table dinner at [...]

Try It, You'll Like It

My friends Freelancer Jenn (everyone gets a nickname at melsidwell.com!) and her delightful hubby Jeremy are sneaky folk. They invite you over under the guise of yummy delicious food and then *WHAM* you’re doing something new and challenging and out of your comfort zone …

Today The Kid barricaded her bedroom door in an attempt to prevent me from taking her to her second swim lesson this summer. She had pressed herself, a chair, and some toys against the door and attempted to shut the door on my arm as I weaseled my way in. My usually agreeable, confident, [...]

The List: An Explanation

As I’ve mentioned, I am fond of lists. A few years ago, when I learned it wasn’t cool to make New Year’s resolutions apparently because of their tendency to fail by spring, I began to make mental to-do lists of things to be accomplished or tried by the end of that year. They usually [...]

30 in 2010

I was a kid who couldn’t wait to grow up. Grown-ups, it seemed, got to choose their destiny. I am undecided if this is true.

I turned 30 this month. That’s a bona fide grown-up age if you ask me. In the last 10 years of my life, I have aquired one college degree, one [...]
