About Me

Melissa Marie Spencer Toronto is a 24 year old semi-newlywed with increasingly neurotic tendencies that include the need to bleach her bathroom floor and iron her sheets. She dreams of the day when she can stop (financially) supporting her darling husband on his quest to become a wildly successful IT entrepreneur, and instead can live in the manner in which she hopes to become accustomed with nothing to do but clean her house and sew. Sigh. A girl can dream. When she’s not using her neurotic powers for good, she devises elaborate plans to get her husband to stop working and pay attention to her. It’s a little like watching I Love Lucy reruns.

Things My Mother Taught Me, Part 2

Every woman needs to have at least one daughter so when she gets a little older and maybe starts to grow some unfortunate hairs on her face she has someone to point them out and make sure they are removed.  If you ever see a middle aged woman walking around with whiskers on her chin, it’s probably because she doesn’t have any daughters to point them out and all her friends are too scared to say anything.

*Editor’s note:  While this advice is from my mom and based on a true story, I’m sure she would like me to note that it is not (usually) her lovely face that is sprouting unsightly hairs.  But if it were, she has three daughters who would tell her, STAT.
