I've been working on a melody for a few months and today, I broke into something I really am freakishly excited about. I had this really great verse I wanted to use with a song, but it just didn't fit with the idea I had today and I had to put it aside reluctantly. I believe it was John Lennon who said (and I'm absolutely paraphrasing here) that sometimes when you're writing a song you have to throw out lines and sometimes whole verses, even when they are good, to get the song right. An unfortunate truth I think. Actually it helped me a lot in songwriting, and I'm not even particularly a John Lennon fanatic or anything. I mean he's good, I just haven't taken the time to listen to his songs (minus the Beatles) and I seriously want to. Just haven't. Anyways, I finished a song. I'm so excited!
These kind of days I can't wait until Josh gets home and I get to do my 'See what I did' dance.
This is the Mel I know and love.

Bizarre.
So bizarre couple of days. I think when Josh leaves for work before the girls get to say good morning, it leaves us in a world of bizarre.
I found a cat this morning. However it was definitely an inside cat, so I knocked on doors and found the owner down the street. What a pretty cat. I would have adopted it in a heartbeat. It had an amazing beige long haired coat, and it's boots were brown. When it walked you could see it's 'thumb,' and it's eyes were a crystal clear blue. It loved to be loved and held.
Our cat is tearing apart our Christmas tree. It's driving me nuts. I can't wait until Christmas is over so I can take it down and not have to get after the cat every time I step out of the living room. Seriously, I've taken to walking back into the living room after I leave, just to make sure he hasn't jumped into it. He's caught onto my trick, because he now waits rather patiently for my second time around, gives me this innocent 'not doing anything to that tree' look, before he attacks. This could be why I wasn't blessed with a male child. I have a male cat to contend with instead.
It was really nice of him when he curled up on my lap for breakfast this morning though. Sometimes he's on my side, like last night when I fed him a piece of chicken while Josh was watching his football game. He went so wild over it that he started going after Josh's chicken. That was fun.
Sometimes that cat acts like such a child.
And so do I.
