The history of "Zaney Lainie" the clown

Name: Allana Mello

aka's: Lainie (family nickname) or Zaney Lainie the clown depends on my mood (SPS---split personality syndrome: aaaah!! joke, ok!!!! )

Personal history of Lainie

Age: Nun'ya (means: None of your business) my kids think I was born in them there covered wagon days...go figure.

Living: Oh, yes I am....

Oh, where do I live: Las Vegas, Nevada as of October 2005. Before that, in the land of corn and the home of Abe Lincoln. Can you guess! Yeah!!! you got it.... Illinois, Central Illinois in a town called Taylorville. I lived there for 7 years.... yep the big 7 (small town living). Before that the big St. Lou.

Lainie Trivia: Did you know that Lainie was born in the back seat of car & her grandma caught her as she came out.... Hey good catch grandma and thanks for not dropping me.... My mom said she was in labor with me for 30 minutes, man when this turkey was done, she was done. And top of all that it was 3* below zero outside..... brrrrr I am amazed I didn't have icicles hanging off my bum.

Married: yes, to a real "Mello Guy" ha!!! get it (Hint: our last name is Mello, ha!).... the bestest husband a girl could ever have... He puts up with my weirdness, what a guy, he's a keeper....

Kids: Kinda, there all grown up now.....
I suffer from empty nest syndrome, also.... Our son is 24, name is Anthony (aka Tony) a very handsome young man. Tony is studying nursing & loves music, what a great guy. Then there is our daughter Jessica she is 22 (aka Jesse) almost as cute and silly as her mom.... I said almost!!!! She is missing the weird part..... thank goodness! What a hoot to be around. She is an artsy girl, just graduated college in Graphic Design.... You know what that means.... Lainie soon will get freebies, yeah!!!!

Pets: Yes, 3 fur babies!! 1st is my sweet "Bandit" the pug.....age 9, cute, spoiled rotten and funny. Then there is the wild and crazy little girl pug named Opus now 1 year old. In August of "08" a sweet kitty found us "Mia Mello"

Clowning & balloon stuff

Hobbies: A few let's see I am a basketweaver, I have weaved over 600 baskets, I sculpt with clay, I have tons of scrapbooking stuff, I make candles & bath products, I sew and paint..... & I am very good at making messes..... Oh!!! And I am a balloon-a-maniac...... I LOVE balloons.....

Some other points of interest: Love to travel and see other countries and cultures, it is a lot of fun... I like to cook (bake), especially dog treats for the fur children. HUGE!!! Hockey fan, St. Louis all the way,baby....Let's go BLUES!!! Don't forget the Cardinals, too..... GO CARDS!!!!!

History/Experiences with kids: Can we all say "the super mom disease" I loved doing things with my kids & their friends, when they were wee ones. I was the room mom for both kids for lots of years, Girl Scout leader for many years, Cub/Boy scout leader, and on, and on, and on... blah, blah.. So needless to say being goofy and silly and living in lah,lah land is second nature to me. <:0)
