Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

Christmas Shopping

Someone at work brought in some catalogs. I haven't done my Christmas shopping yet, so I flipped through them looking for ideas. This dragon claw is certainly interesting. It might look nice next to someone's front door for visitors to hang their coats on. It has a nice friendly, inviting feel to it. I'm sure that Martha Stewart would approve.
This is a six foot tall floor lamp. Perhaps lonely bachelors might enjoy the company. She's probably on the quiet side, but then, so am I.
This is a CD holder topped with a dragon. The only problem I see with this, is that it doesn't appear to hold very many CD's.
I'm not sure what this is, but it's meant to sit on top of computers. It captures my mood fairly well, I think.
Everyone needs a place to store their extra change. Why not use this monkey for that purpose?
I don't know about everyone else, but I would love to have this mounted in my house. The wall opposite my bed would be perfect. What a delight it would be to wake up to this every morning.
This bat girl is meant to go on a fireplace mantle. It would probably be more suitable for the men on my shopping list. It appears to me that she's bottomless.
Doesn't everyone want a Sumo wrestler wrapped in Christmas lights to decorate their front yard?

Dave, if I get a note from your wife saying that you can put a bottomless bat girl on your mantel, I'll get it for you. :)

Karen, this coworker gets all kinds of bizarre catalogs like this, so she must have at some time ordered something, but she seems so normal.

My mom has a dragon hatching from an egg--actually 2 out of the series of 4. She got me a stone gargoyle typing on a laptop. This catalog may be for her.

Perhaps, but I was careful in what I posted. The catalog also had some role playing costumes for sex. She might get the wrong idea if you get it for her. :)

Ok i decided that might get my favorite judge the monkey that holds money! See if i get the 2 i will save on postage!


on second thoughts, if i want to win some matters, best to give the gift of silence!!

Michelle, maybe you should get your favorite judge one of the "role playing" costumes instead. You'll be sure to win every case after that. ;)

Hey, wait a minute! I think I've seen that catalog. They sell really unusual garden statuary. I don't recall any smutty stuff. Oh no, is it possible that it's been so long I don't remember what smutty stuff looks like? :o Or maybe they sold halloween costumes and you think they are for other purposes...who's the pervert now?

Unless Halloween is celebrated everyday of the year, they are not Halloween costumes. The outfits aren't smutty,for the most part, just bizarre. They have medieval dresses, fairy outfits and gothic capes, along with the usual thong, feather numbers. (Okay, I do secretly covet the fairy outfits.):)

I have some fairy wings you can borrow:) I got them for the dogs for their Halloween costumes but they don't really stay on well, the dogs I mean. You would look cute in a fairy costume! Don't you have some ballet outfits you could modify?

I don't own a tutu. If I made one and started wearing fairy wings I'm afraid that a 72 hour hold would be put on me. On the other hand, it would be nice to have a few days off from work.
