Holding Out for a Hero

Good afternoon, my Lovelies! It's a bright and beautiful Saturday morning and I am finally getting around to writing my blog for the week. Y'all. I give up. I'm just going to start aiming for Saturday mornings because any other time throughout the week seems to have gotten so busy that it just doesn't happen. So, at least for the time being, you can look for my blogs on the weekends. How are you doing? Did you sleep well? Have you had your coffee? If not, go grab yourself a cup and sit back and relax, prop your feet up and hold on tight.

So, as usual in my frantic, cart before the horse, undiagnosed ADHD, let's do things as completely out of order as possible mind, I have once again taken a leap without thinking about the fact that there was probably a set of stairs that would have made my life much easier. What have I done? Well, I went and bought a website. 

That's great, right? I now have a website! Well, not really. You see, I subscribed to a hosting service, bought my domain name, and then went to set up the site and realized...I don't know what I'm doing! I've tried to get it all set up and I can't get things to line up. I can't figure out how to make it pretty. I can't figure out how to make things connect, to link. Ugh! 

I want to be able to have this really beautiful site, to be able to send email and newsletters automatically and have them be all pretty and special, and it just isn't working. I have asked quite a few people if they have any idea how to use the program that the website uses and nobody can (or will) help me.

So, here I am, paying for a website that isn't even being used. I do this shit all the time, ya'll. I see something I need/want, and just go for it without thinking about the logistics of what is needed to really make things work. Does anyone else do this? Just me?

Gah! My impulsivity shall be my downfall! So, if anyone knows how, or knows someone who knows how, to use WordPress and would be willing to offer some tips, some advice, or willing to just set things up for me, let me know!

I suppose for now I'll keep on struggling and doing things the hard way. (Insert melodramatic music while I place the back of my hand against my forehead in mock distress.) You would think by now that I would have learned, but it seems that once that behavior is ingrained, it's hard to break the cycle and do things differently.

It is what it is.


Until next time, and as always,


Much love and affection, 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

Taste Of You

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&#
