Music Tells My Stories

Good afternoon, my Lovelies! It’s Thursday and I’m so ready for the weekend! At least I think I’m ready for the weekend. I need major amounts of time to do some writing, but I have a bad feeling that I’m going to be spending a large portion of my weekend doing garden stuff. Yay…fun… Did you hear the sarcasm there? If not, believe me, it’s there. So how are you? I hope all is well and that you’ve found a reason to smile this week! I have a question for all of you who are in relationships, especially those of you in long-term relationships. But before I ask, let me see if I can lead you a little way down the path that I’m going rabbit down. When we’re in relationships we tend to go through stages sexually. There’s that initial can’t keep your hands off each other phase. You know what I mean, that phase where you can do nothing but think about getting home and getting a little (or a lot) wild and crazy. Then the heat from the fire that your relationship starts with simmers down so

Good afternoon, my Lovelies! How’s life? I hope you’ve had a wonderful week and are revving up for the upcoming weekend. Me? Well, I’ve been better – I’ve been worse. But it is what it is, and life goes on. What am I talking about? Oh, well that would be the all-out and absolute betrayal that my body has thrown at me over the past couple of years. Uhhh, what are ya talkin’ about, Shell? Oh, you mean you really want to know? Have you ever heard of a colposcopy? No, not a colonoscopy, a colposcopy. Well, basically it is a biopsy of your cervix. And what happens is that the doctor (in his office and under no anesthesia) cuts out a sampling of your cervix and sends it off to be tested for cancer. Fun stuff. Over the past couple of years I’ve had this done multiple times due to findings during my yearly checkups. Last year I was even lucky enough to have a LEEP procedure. What’s that? Oh, that’s when they go in there and cut out a larger portion of your cervix and then cauterize (burn) th

Good morning, my Lovelies! It's Friday and while in some ways this has been a craptastic week, I'm in a fairly decent mood this morning! Maybe I'm just looking forward to the weekend, but as of right now, my depression/anxiety & ADHD are not working against me! How about you? Are you ready for the weekend? Do you ever just feel the need to let go? To just let go of all of your worries, responsibilities, and obligations? That's where I'm at today. I have this overwhelming need to just go somewhere for the night, get drunk off my ass, and forget everything that has been weighing on me. I know there are some of you who think that at my age I shouldn't be doing or even thinking about doing something like that, but I really don't give a fuck.  This is just one of the things that I enjoy about the girls' trip that my friends and I take to the Outerbanks. Bless them, they think like I do and look forward to the opportunity to just let go as much as I do. Jo

Good afternoon, my Lovelies! Let me take a moment to apologize for the fact that I haven’t been consistent with my blogging lately. As I said in my last blog, my mental health has absolutely been in a downward spiral. I’m working on it though. I will not let this feeling of defeat take me down. How about you? You good? Had a good week? If not, that’s alright. Hang in there, y’all, because I have it on good authority that things will get better. Now, I may or may not have touched on this before, I really can't remember and to be honest, I've run my mouth on here so much since I started this blog that it all kind of jumbles together sometimes. I try not to repeat myself, but sometimes a subject really resonates with me and after I've posted my blog I'll think of something else to say. But, I really do try not to pile the same shit on you guys over and over. (In fact, I'm OCD enough about it that I have a spreadsheet with a listing of all my blog titles and the dates
