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.

Only Funny in Text

Let’s be honest, I’m way funnier by text than I am in real life.  Examples:

—————————————————————————————————-

Husband:  Sorry I missed your phone call, I was up a tree with a chainsaw.

Me:  Either that is true, and you have a whole life as a logger that I know nothing about, or that’s an excuse so clever I have to forgive you.  Win-win.

Later that day…

Husband:  I’m going to be a little late tonight.

Me:  More logging to do?  Or perhaps you need to bring in your lobster traps?  Forest fire to put out?

—————————————————————————————————-

My mom and I were texting about our uncomfortable office chairs today.  It went something like this:

Do you ever have days when your butt feels uncomfortably boney.  Like suddenly there’s not enough padding down there to keep you comfortable.  But then you stand up and there’s magically enough to make it look like you swallowed J-LO?

    I think you are incredibly funny both in-person and over text.

    And lucky you to have a logger/lobster-trapper/fireman as a husband.

    You’re also a funny blogger, so I’m glad to be diverted by some new posts.

    Office chairs: so true.
