My name is Melissa. Having been born, raised, and having fallen in love in SLO I'm so excited to spend my days freezing those same special moments here for others.
People, color, life and light exhilarate me. And wrapping all of that up in a photo, well, that's what I live for. Wanna get to know more? Send me an email, I'd love to get to know you too.

I am my Mother's Daughter

Around Thanksgiving my husband built our desk that we call the "Techno Cubby" into a nook in our bedroom. It's all set up with his computer and two monitors and often I join him there when we watch movies or netflix together.

Recently I've noticed that about three feet above the desk level on my side the wall is smudged and dirty. Why? Because for whatever reason I'm most comfortable sitting with my feet propped up. It's like a compulsion. One that I have to constantly fight at work so I don't appear to be a slacker. I'll prop them up on anything, the desk, the wall, on top of the computer tower - anything!

Recently I've come across old pictures, from my childhood and even my parents' weddings and before. All of them have been fun to peruse, however, one in particular stood out to me. Though my sister resembles my mother much more in appearance I am her twin in personality (and yes mum, I'm referring largely to your dancing and singing around the kitchen/house, your love for music, lack of self control with chocolate, love of Bones, and of course, your feet propping and much more).



I am my mother's daughter. This explains so much. I love my mother =)

Truth be told.... I'm not 100% positive this is my mother (as I can't see her face) but that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I can't believe you put that picture up. It was when I was a teenager, living at home at my parents house in Calabasas. I was reading a book and yes, it is more comfortable with my feet up.
You are your mother's daughter, and I am sorry for most of that. lol.
