In which I request reprieve….

As an avid reader, I understand the frustration when you go to a favorite blog page and find its not been updated. I know the “ugh” feeling, the “what on earth is the problem for the love of pete! surely she can’t have anything better to do!” feeling.
The neglected masses, you and I, respectively, weep at the sloth which inhibits a good posting.

Truth is, aside from that dash of a post giving off a jar o jelle, I don’t have a lot to say these days. Shocking, I know, given my propensity to blather on and on about NOTHING. How drole.

So I’m giving this/you/me a break, until I have something more to offer. Until maybe after I’ve had a vacation and can write something decent and suitable for public consumption.

For those who find me on Facebook, never fear- I’ll continue to fascinate  with my wit and eloquence there with random twitter-like posts.

Oh and Nieves, that jar of apricot jelle is SO YOURS.

Peace out home-skillet.

Ah Internet, spring has finally arrived in the world that belongs to The Mind of Melis. It’s about damn time. So between blue skies, warm winds, sweet lilacs and the brand spankin new Star Trek movie, life is pretty good.

Also, may I say, that this weekend, marks the anniversary of Mind of Melis! What a fabulous thing, to have been blogging for a year. I mean, I am a total baby when it comes to blogging– but one whole year people! That’s an accomplishment- especially in light of recent creative blocks and a case of laziness of the most horrible kind… But! Huzzah!

To celebrate my anniversary, I’m hosting a giveaway! I’ve wanted to giveaway something for a long time now but could never figure out what, and well…. what will it be you ask? Something wonderful?

Yes, dear reader, beloved internet. SOMETHING WONDERFUL. I will be procuring said wonderfullness this evening.
STAY TUNED for more details, and you know, have a good weekend!
