I am spending this weekend as I spend every weekend, with friends and family in St. Pete. I live sixty miles away from everyone, so during the work week I'm sequestered here, but weekends are for hanging out!

Why, did you want to go with?

People generally call me Mel, a very special few call me Mellie, even fewer call me MelMel (reserved for the children of friends and people who knew me in junior high), and I'm embarassed to say that I was once called Lanie.

My grandmother was the first person to call me Mellie, and today it's mostly used by people who are very close to me. Mel is a pretty given nickname for Melanie, and I was Lanie to several of my friends in highschool.

Oh, and I actually know one (darling) person who calls me 'Mels'.

I'll answer to pretty much anything.

The first thing that comes to mind is credit card and other debt. I'm about $5,000 in debt, all told (not counting student loans), so that would go first.

The second half is a little more tricky. If I had to spend it, I think I'd cheat and buy gift cards to Anthropologie, J. Jill and Anne Taylor for the future, smaller me. I have a feeling that I'm going to need lots of clothes shopping money in the not so distant future! I'd also buy jewelry. Smallish diamond earrings from Tiffany, maybe, and a ring or two. Mmmm, shopping.
