My first new car

I bought a TARDIS (aka a Honda Fit… or a Jazz if you’re in certain countries. It’s a light blue one – it came in the actual TARDIS blue, but none were in stock and I honestly loved this color equally, so I’m very happy. Manual transmission (my preferred, honestly), ability to use my iPod, […]

I’d say not much has happened recently, but it has been a busy couple weeks. Just a blur of a couple weeks. The bad stuff: – Mom was laid off last Friday. It wasn’t completely unexpected, though. She works in real estate, and the company had been stripping off personnel all year. I left a […]

If you read Minare’s blog, please don’t panic. She didn’t delete it – but somehow everything in measi(dot)net disappeared when I was adjusting a blog setting for myself from Blogger to WordPress to experiment with it.

Hi, I'm Measi

about
(a/k/a Melissa)

I'm turning 50 in 2025, and exploring this new decade of my life with a refocus on blogging about my life - marriage, parenthood, being owned by cats, Paganism, cross stitching, journaling, books, and letter writing... and probably some other stuff along the way. Nothing monetized here - just old-fashioned personal blogging.
