American Idiot - Shell's Chronicles of Dumbass-ery (Episode 1)

Good morning, my Lovelies! Welcome to the first edition of things I've done that I shouldn't have done because I fucking knew better. (Or something like that.) Maybe we'll call this Shell's Chronicles of Dumbass-ery? You see, I know that I'm a smart person, in fact, I consider myself quite intelligent (most of the time).  However, I have done some seriously dumb shit throughout my life when I 100% knew better. I'm sure this is something that we have all experienced at times. (I can't possibly be alone in this idiocy!) Some of us are just better at hiding our dumbass-ery than others.

So what exactly am I talking about? Well, let me give you a few examples. When I moved away to college I did quite a bit of dumb shit. The first thing that comes to mind was when I was trying to plug in my stereo and realized that the plug was bent and wouldn't fit properly in the outlet. My method of fixing it by holding the metal part of the plug while trying to insert it gave me quite an eye-opening and shocking experience. See? Dumbass-ery.

Oh, and when I was packing up my stereo to come home at the end of the year I was in such a hurry to get out of there that I misjudged my packing and slammed the lid of the trunk down on the plastic cover. Yeah, I cracked that bitch like a pinata. When I realized what I had done all I could do was stand there and stare at the trunk of my car in horror (followed quickly by uncontrollable and maniacal giggles). 

As you can see, my stereo and I had issues. Oh, and there was that time that I was trying to show off to a couple of friends after I first got my driver's license. Let me say that going through a nice quiet neighborhood doing 60 mph around the curves wasn't the brightest thing I've ever done. That Ford Taurus didn't corner well and we were definitely road-tracking on two wheels for part of it. Yes, I even scared myself.

And more recently, I tried to enter my garage with the tailgate of my van open. Not only did I break the back glass and mess up the tailgate, I also damaged the opening to the garage. Yeah, that really happened. (I've come close to doing it multiple times. I have issues, ok?) 

My dumbass-ery has been epic, at least in my eyes. So I'm going to see just how many dumbass things I can remember over the next couple of weeks in a series of bonus blogs. Enjoy and feel free to share some of your dumbass-ery with me! It would be nice to know that others have experienced some embarrassing "I fucking knew better" moments, too!

Until next time, as always,


Much love from me to you!

Find Out Who Your Friends Are

Good morning, my Lovelies! It is time once again for me to get a few thoughts out of my head (maybe more than a few) and I just know that each and every one of you is itching to hear what has been floating around up there. Well, maybe not, but y'all love me and will humor me anyway. I don't know if this blog will touch you in any way, will make you feel anything, but I know it will me. As most of you know, my father passed away a couple of weeks ago. Neither of my parents has been in particularly good health for quite some time now. And while nobody is ever prepared to lose a loved one, not really, I feel like I had thought about the inevitability enough that I'm handling it better than I thought I would. Oh, I still have my moments. Believe me when I say I miss my father, but he was in pain and had been in pain for a long time. Maybe it just eases my mind that he is no longer suffering? Maybe it eases my mind that I never had to put him in a nursing facility, which is one

Good morning, my Lovelies! I hope this blog finds you doing well and that things are groovy in your part of the world. How's things in my world? My epic game of Frogger continues. I guess my getting food poisoning over the weekend was the equivalent of my froggy self getting splatted on the speed lanes. Good times. I actually started writing this blog a couple of nights ago and about halfway through it dawned on me that everything I was saying sounded horribly familiar. I had to go back and check myself. It turns out that I had already talked about that particular topic so I kind of started over again. I mean, I assume you guys don't need more details on the night my ex-husband stabbed me. We'll move along. Instead, let's talk about... Desire. Has there ever been someone that you craved beyond all logical reason? You just can't get enough of them. You think about them all day, dream about them at night, and they're the first thought on your mind when you wake in

Good evening, my Lovelies! Gracious! I hardly know where to begin. This is my first blog of the new year and I would be remiss if I didn't take a moment to acknowledge everyone who started reading and following my blog over the past year. I've gained some amazing followers and new friends and I'm thankful to each and every one of you. The past year brought many changes and challenges. It also brought some heartbreak, but at the same time, it brought many heart smiles. I had many blessings and I'm grateful for them all. So what is it that I want to talk to you about tonight? I think I've touched on this before, but if you don't already know, I'm a very insecure person. I've had friends, family, and people that I love, to just walk away without looking back. I've always wondered what I did that made them leave or what I didn't do to make them want to stay. I've tried repeatedly to tell myself that their leaving falls on them and not me, but I&#
