They're the reason I do what I do!!

Welcome to Melva's Corner

Good Day All:

After many months of debating back and forth I decided I would invite you into my world. I LOVE interacting with people and now that I have moved away from my loved ones to reside in Las Vegas, Nevada, I needed an outlet to keep me focused and on track.

Please enjoy the topics and most importantly let me know what you think!!

Who the freak said???

Who said only cactus can live and grow in the desert, did you forget about those freaking WEEDS? We spent All day pulling weeds...

Who said local politicians are least influential, well good for them because the politicians in Las Vegas are not only less influential but they are hilarious. It is like watching an on-going comedy skit only thing the effects are poor and only beneficial to the polticians oh and the tourists only. How much more of Vegas can I take?

Is there something wrong with this picture???

Arizona passes law authorizing police officers to stop suspected illegal immigrants and demand proof of citizenship. Is this the 2010 version of Racial Profiling?

Malcolm X's assassin is paroled..

An Alabama Republican's campaign slogan "We speak English, Learn It" What the hell? Are you really forcing me to assimilate, how about not voting him into office...

What I cannot understand is why I haven't really considered running for a political office....Clearly the government is out of control and I would fit right in this environment....

On a softer note please ladies remember to get your feet done when wearing open toe shoes or flip flops. Better yet please wear sandals that does not require the toes to overlap the tops of the shoe. Its disgusting use some baby oil if you can not make in to get your feet done...

Overweight...What the hell?

I read a freelance article yesterday that basically stated I’m overweight because I do not consume enough fruit and fiber in my diet and that mealtime is always on my mind…..what the hell?

All this time I equated my fatness as a hand me down from my mother…To learn that this overweight thing is all in my mind is a good I think because now I can focus my thoughts on being a size smaller than the universe.

I swear I will do my best to put my fork down; hell to be honest I thought I was three sizes smaller from the effects of this economy… I’m going to add the words halt to my vocabulary HUNGRY, ANGRY, LONELY, and TIRED.

Do I really have a problem with my weight or am I allowing society yet again to dictate how I am supposed to look?

Someone please make me understand....

Why Hugh Hefner donated $900,0000 to save the Hollywood sign when the education system is suffering, better yet why not donate the money to stimulate the economy?

Why Eve had to go against God's will and I suffer monthly for the actions of a woman I never even met?

Why am I forced to work 40 hours a week at a job I hate to make money that does not even make a dent in the debt I have accumulated?

Why is the education system in the state of Nevada somewhat inferior to tourism?

Why do children believe that they have the answers to everything?

Why are most men stuck on STUPID?

If I continue down this path.......

Good Morning Heartache?

Monday always seems to be the hardest day of the week. Just back from a wonderful weekend and here is Monday. You have to pull yourself out of the bed to get ready to go to work (well for some of us). Oh the thought of what to fix for dinner? Monday blues....blah, blah, blah.

On the other hand you can look at Monday as another day for giving Thanks. Thank you Lord for blessing me and allowing me to be able to wake up and experience the Monday Blues.....

Never loose sight of the little things.....

An evening with my husband.....

Yesterday, I was beyond homesick missing Boston and my daughters. My husband decided to cheer me up. He said "let's go to dinner" not really wanting to leave the house buy after a few games of some pool, I manged to get it together and said what the hell.

We went to the Hilton were we had dinner at Benihanas, a show called Voices, starring Lani Misalucha. I was blown away by her three-octave vocal range, beautiful a must see, and some gambling. Of course, my husband (like always)was the big winner I'm still not sure why I visit the casinos.

He cheered me up although I still am homesick I am able to leave the house today and probably tomorrow (maybe not still have homework). Thanks John.

Butt????

After a long day at school, I arrive home and the first thing I did was turn on the television. Not really focused but I can hear them talking about Kim Kardashian and "America's National Treasure." What?? I walked into the kitchen and I heard the announcer mention something the word Australia. I finished up, I walked over to the couch, to sit down, still not really focused and all of a sudden I realized I am watching TMZ. This particular episode is featuring Kim Kardashian while on the set of a talk show (in Australia) and the female host happens to grab her butt (she asked Kim before she grabbed it). What???? Why is this reportable-- I thought? There were questions about her butt's firmness, if it jiggled, but the female host equated her butt to a "waterbomb".

Harvey Levin asked "What is America coming to?" Kim is in Australia as pointed out by the announcer and he states "Kim Kardashian's butt is as American as baseball or Apple pie." I laughed so hard because if you know me then you will agree that my "butt" is beyond American it encompasses the universe. Can I get on tv with my "butt" please, it jiggles and it's definately bigger than the American National Treasure.

Daughters

Why do mother and daughter relationship fail? Do the daughter hate the mother? As mothers we do everything to ensure that our children are happy and successful. What is it about a daughter that makes them blind to the ways of their mother?

Can we talk about everything?

Today, I'd like to talk about the Wii system: Sure it is supposed to be fun and interactive but if you are like me and you have created a Mii character, you may have been somewhat intimidated or better yet your self-esteem may have been diminished after completing the fitness test. Here I thought I have this new toy and I am going to get in shape while doing something I like, WHAT not according to my Mii character. I was told you are OBESE. Has anyone had that experience --or was it just me?
