Yep, that's me.......wondering what in the world have I gotten myself into this time. I was just sitting there thinking what a great time I'm having and the next thing I know Melli is spending the weekend with me and Floozie in the Daisy Patch.

The funny thing is ......I have no recollection of inviting her. Is she reading my mind? I can see Mr. Wonderful in my mind's eye saying, "Daisy, you've got some splaining to do?" Oh Well, I'm thinking...how bad can one night be?
Let me count the ways:




A is for Automobile that has no.....
B Brakes....pedal to the floor , brake fluid on the ground
C Couldn't leave if she tried
D Delayed Departure till Sunday
E Eager to go play...but waiting on the mechanic
F Flip Flop Floozie feeling flue-y
G Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? (the Mellinator!)
H Honestly wouldn't have missed a single minute of it.
I I had the time of my life!
J Just exactly how did this happen?
K Kind of just fell in place ( or what we call a divine appointment).
L Laughter, lots of it.
M Mechanic who fixed the car (on Saturday when they normally are closed!)
N No...don't climb the statue, don't get in the grocery cart, get out of the street...
O Oh No! Outrageous Outburst
P Please, please, please, "I'll be your best friend" (piles of photos too!)
Q Quirky...in the most delightful way
R Right behind you Melli.
S Silly stunts, Shaking with laughter,
T Time just flew by way too fast.
U "U did save it as a draft first didn't U?"
V Vibrant color leaves, vivacious friends.
W words....Not enough to adequately explain!
X exceptional (both the silliness and also words of encouragement)
Y..You
Z ...Zee you soon?


Follow the Fun......>

Melli calls it her favorite Watering Spout (Spot). Who knew that Floozie and Melli would decided to be the welcome wagon of Staunton. I had a hard time dragging them out of the intersection.


Melli was squatting in the flower pot when a passing car rolled down the window and asked me " Does She Need a Tissue?" Floozie was fighting off a head cold and had just asked us if we had a kleenex. Wow,I thought , how did they know? Later it dawned on me that Melli position in the flower pot looked rather suggestive of another activity. That was the start of hours of continual giggling! Every thing from then on was extremely funny and we just seemed to fuel each others silliness.

While walking down the quaint streets of Staunton Melli takes off running down the street toward this site. ( Zelma's Costumes and retro clothing shop). What followed was a grown up version of dress up. Melli suggested that Floozie try on the dress that is on the dress form and we could take a new picture for her website! Floozie declined the offer .


Seems like I spent most of my day trying to keep Melli from climbing statues , being the look out for the local police and documenting the misdeed for all our blogging friends. Lord help us all when she finally reaches her goal weight as there will be no holding her to the ground.


Typical Conversation:

Melli: Daisy hold my camera and take the picture when I get up there.

Me: Oh, come on lets rethink this.....what if you fall.

Melli: Your a nurse, call the paramedics.

Floozie: I don't think this is a good idea (standing next to her to catch her when she falls!)

By the end of the day Melli's "Insanity Prevails" had infected us all. What started off as a conversation about Melli "being the baby of the bunch" ended up with the baby getting into the basket and all of laughing ourselves silly. By the time one of us would get a small measure of composure a new wave of silliness would hit that would double us over in gales of laughter.

This Daisy admits to hysterical laughter that would cause the other two to lose it all over again. Needless to say it was hard to explain to our husbands as new waves of giggles would break out again and again at the dinner table. Truly you had to be there, and be suffering from sleep deprivation to get the full impact of the situation.

Our trip to Walmart netted us groceries, pharmacy items, and one of us had to buy a pair of pants. We provided entertainment to many in the parking lot and now I have to move or go into the witness protection program. (Thanks friends!)

Least you think this adventure was all fun and games, let me leave you with a parting picture of an intervention that took place in my living room. Both Floozie and Melli are my dieting diva heroes and both excellent "life coaches". Melli has lost 56 pounds and Floozie has lost 32 inches...Me? I've lost my sense of humor, my will to live and about 3 months.

Needless to say my efforts have been stalled for a while so Melli decided she needed to "Jump start"my motivation. Sometimes action speaks louder than words so Melli is demonstrating a highly effective form of motivation. Assume the Position!
