Quick Note

Hi there! If you have noticed, I have not really been updating memo's closet lately. There is an explanation for that, I've been writing memo's closet on Tumblr trying to switch things up a little bit. So for now any updates for memo's closet will be found on : memos-closet.tumblr.com

See you there!

Hi my name is Melissa & I am a Control-Aholic

I have to share something with you, I have a big problem with control. I am not talking about controlling others and being mischievous about it or anything but more about trying to control every little thing I cannot change. For example, I think I should be sitting in the cockpit on a plane because I feel that from there I might have a chance to save myself and control the situation should the worst happen. Pathetic, I know. I also think of myself as a psychic you know..I see the future before it happens (In my wacko mind that is..And most of what I predict does not happen FYI) 

But from the responses I got from posting my resolutions this year, it seems that I am not alone in this predicament. In today's society, a lot of us are putting that extra pressure on our shoulders. How much time to we spend worrying about such little innocent things when we could be doing way more productive things? 

One thing we do have control over: Our own thoughts. Happy thoughts = Stress free life

Let's live in the moment and make this year a control free one!

Holiday Recap!

2012 is here! How fast was that? I've put together a quick recap of my Holiday which went by in a flash by the way! We spent 5 days in Montreal then New Years Eve in Victoria (Which is so beautiful and quaint!) We also squeezed in some time to move into our new place. Phheww! I feel like I need another week vacation after all of that craziness. The weekend won't come soon enough! 

1. After dinner in Victoria on New Year's Eve

2. Unconventional but oh so Delicious Christmas Eve dinner

3. Some of my New Year's Resolutions

4. Many gifts (We were pretty spoiled!)

5. My puppy pooped from so much partying

6. At our hotel for New Year's

7. Pretty candles as part of the table centrepieces 

8. Just a random picture of the greeting we sent out for the Holidays

9. Familia!

10. On the boat heading to Vancouver Island

11. Cute wrapping 

Have a fabulous year everyone!

Last Friday Of The Year 2011

In 2011, I moved across the country, got engaged, found a job that keeps me fulfilled & that I love, started Memoscloset...Sure there has been a few bumps in the road but in retrospect I can say that it was a good year. I hope you can find happy moments from 2011 and that 2012 is even better to you & your close ones. 

Even if it has been a good year, I have a couple of resolutions for the New Year to try out: 

Stop playing with my nails when i'm jittery 

Go to bed later than 9 pm ( Hey, I wake up early!)

Stop focusing on the small stuff I can't change

Be happy with myself even if i'm not always perfect (Nobody is)

The list could probably go on but I'll stick to those for now! Do you have any resolutions for 2012?

Have a great one!

Moving 2012

Hi guys! Sorry I have been pretty MIA lately...I'm in the middle of a move (Again, I know) and I also put in some time to visit family & friends on the East coast over the Holidays. Excuses, excuses I know! I basically unpacked my suitcase yesterday only to start repacking our stuff today as we are leaving at the end of the week. 

I hope you all enjoyed a great Holiday, I know I did. I hadn't seen my friends and family in over 6 months so it was great to spend some time with them. 

Looking forward to writing more in the year to come!

MeMo :)

Because it's probably snowing somewhere!

I hope you all had a great weekend! I, on my end, have scratched off a few items off my to-do list. First off, we got the apartment we wanted so much (Brilliant) so our search is over. I think we get to move in a couple of days before the New Year..Second, I got some Christmas gifts done & lastly I bought my Holiday cards but have yet finished writing them (It seems there is always someone we keep missing!) :) There are a couple of things left to finish before I start feeling the Christmas vibe!

Holidays parties are starting this week (Already had one last week myself & more this week), stay safe!
