So Here's The Thing...
I used to blog all the time. I used to journal. I used to be and do things that don't fit in a Facebook status. I stopped blogging because I started caring about who was reading. It's a constant struggle with stupidity with me, the absurd notion that everyone is watching what I'm doing and judging me by it.
So here is what is true: I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I am the mother to the most beautiful children to ever grace the planet. I am the wife to an incredible man, who I managed to snag by manipulating him with decent coffee a long time ago. I am not a perfect wife, mother, or Christian. Most times it's adequate, and that might be generous. I am a writer who forgets to write, a missionary who is sitting at home, a dreamer with a fierce logical streak, a rebel and a rule-follower. I'm sarcastic and snotty and sappy, loyal and lazy, an optimist who continually manages to mess up. I'm opinionated about almost everything, and often with no good reason. I'm bewildered by the grace of God in my life. I've decided not to write for you, though if you'd like to read it then I'm good with that. I want to write because it's something I love. I seem to have forgotten little bits of me all over the place, and this is one I'd like to pick up.

and you thought I couldn't write a short blog...
Long rant coming soon, unless I run out of steam.

Love the picture of Europe. Are you going there at night?
It just looks a little black there.

I think in some ways, we are the same. It's always neat to see these, and how close they come to really capturing out personality.

Hey... Is the long rant about whatever it was that made you need to look at Sam's blog to cheer up? Cause I wanna know why you need cheering up.
3:08 PM
Also. Uncle Abe has a good video on his blog if you are looking for a laugh...

Wow! That's pretty neat. I liked all the pictures and have decided that you have good taste Mel! Although I've never wanted to jump off a cliff naked before *lol* I just like to streak by a highway and then jump in a pool ;)

Hey - don't you wink at me Kathy. You got me started on this running around in public naked thing, and now I'm hooked. (Kathy and I streaked next to the highway when we were about 13 in broad daylight) Holy crap, I just realized that I've been in 6 different public places naked before. WHO AM I?!?! My entire opinion of myself has changed. CRAP! At least nobody saw me...I think.
Becky - wasn't too sad, just a little lonely and wanted a smile, photos of your boys and Luke always do that to me.

Oh my goodness. 7. I should erase comments here and go bury my head in shame.
In my defense, this also counts partial nudity though in all cases for more than 5 minutes at a time. My mother is going to disown me.
Gosh, I wonder if I've been seen. Or photographed in secret. NOBODY GOOGLE ME!

I am so ashamed :( :( :(
7:39 AM
Sheesh Mel! I've only ever been naked once in public and that was with you...You've taken it to a whole new level!
8:35 PM
This is a cute idea. I like it. I'm doing one now. And I never knew you've been naked in public so often. Nice job, Melanie.
