  • Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Mr. VS and I were quite domesticated (like badly behaved pets) this fall and we tried some canning from the bounty of the land, i.e. our garden. BTW…we totally have a farm or something minus any animals except cats – cat farm? Our farm has no name currently but it could be called Poison Ivy…

  • Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    I’ve now officially (you heard it here) been informed, through an article online that I cannot find again (did it really exist??) that I should be looking toward the future and not at the past. Mr. VS also recently told me that millionaires and highly successful people refuse to see failure and instead are always…

  • My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    So as you might know, I’ve been on meds (Zoloft for anxiety/panic attacks) for about a year and a half.  Prior to this  med-circus I’m partaking in now, I had been off meds for 3.5 years.  And before that I was on them for about 8 years and prior to that I was medication free…

  • Broken, The Internet Is

    Broken, The Internet Is

    So there are some people out there that think they are going to break the internet with their ass. These ‘people’ shall remain nameless since I can’t stand to toot their horn more than it has already been tooted by everyone else on the planet. However, I do have a few things to say on…

  • A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    Yesterday I had a mean case of the uglies.  It’s sort of like the “mondays” but it’s the uglies instead.  I don’t mean, I was ugly, as in I was horrible to be around or my mood was hideous or anything like that.  What I mean is that I felt…hideous, physically.  Yes,  yesterday I was…

  • Bring Me To Life – New Fiction in the works!

    Bring Me To Life – New Fiction in the works!

    After more than 13 years I’ve started writing again and I picked up a story I started back in 2010. It’s a gritty, dark, sexy modern fairytale – a Sleeping Beauty reboot inspired by sex, drugs & rock n’ roll! Back in 2010 I was inspired by Evanescence’s song of the same name as well…

  • My Endometriosis Story

    My Endometriosis Story

    Having a chronic illness is cool. Having several is even better. It’s especially fun when you think one of them might be gone and then it REARS its ugly head yet again and brings you right back to square one, living Groundhog Day all over again. So let’s talk about my Endometriosis story, which I…

  • Dreamer Wake Up

    Dreamer Wake Up

    I got lost along the way Not knowing east from west or north from south I stumbled, destiny unknown Is your perspective slipping? Mine is floating away into nothingness Into a dreamer’s world of paint and pictures Sun drops fall on my head Dreamer wake up Show me, show me the world as intense as…

  • OMG…it’s Optimism! Whaaa?

    So… after re-reading my last post, I feel the need to take it and flip it on its head because I just read a few blog posts here that really got me to thinking that I need to be more positive (and/or visualize my success).  I can hear your gasps of disbelief from here, stop…

  • The Lazy Rant or This Shit is Hard

    The Lazy Rant or This Shit is Hard

    So I’m sort of entering a few days of depression. I can just feel this shit manifesting itself in me.  I’m feeling down, frustrated, easily irritated and totally overwhelmed.  As I’ve probably said before, there are simply too many things I want to do and not nearly enough time.  It sucks!  Something has to give. …

  • The Dark and the Light

    The Dark and the Light

    I’ve always been enthralled by the Light and the Dark of life. I like the emotional moments, the moments that define us, expose us, make us think and truly feel. My life has always been like that. Days where I’m happy, content and days where everything is black and dark. I think depression is part…

  • Thank You Readers & Bloggers!

  • My Brain is Technology

    My Brain is Technology

    I think my Brain might be hiding things from me.  In fact, I know my brain is hiding shit. Have you ever really given your brain a thought?  Brains are weird-ass shit.  I started thinking about my brain in the middle of the…

  • The Term “Plus-Size” Pisses Me Off.

    The Term “Plus-Size” Pisses Me Off.

    The other day I was reading this article on Yahoo:  How Shopping with a Plus-sized Model Made Me Face My Own Body Issues.  And I started getting pissed off and fired up about the word Plus Size.  WTF kind of word is that? …

  • Weight Gain Extravaganza

    Weight Gain Extravaganza

    Recently I came to the conclusion that we have so many feelings and emotions and thoughts and self-flagellation and judging of others involved in our weight.  I know, I’m a genius for realizing this super obvious emotional response.  However, the thought that occurred…

  • Germ-O-Phobe

    Germ-O-Phobe

    I’m a certified Germ-o-phobe and I will proclaim and admit all you like.  What I’ve realized recently about being a Germ-o is that it’s not really about the germs at all, it’s about my brain. I have to be a Germ-o to satisfy my brain, to basically convince my brain to keep quiet and stay…

  • World of Horrors! (Pre-technology)

    World of Horrors! (Pre-technology)

    Did you know that approximately 15 to 20 years ago we didn’t have the technology that we have today? Is it stupid to ask that question? (A: YES!) I feel like I was born at a unique time in modern history because I lived without technology and now I’ve evolved as technology has evolved. For all you youngsters…

  • Turn Noun for Bacon

    Turn Noun for Bacon

    We’re trying out a little experiment for a friend of mine, Jessie of Jessie Janelle Reyna, called Turn Noun For What.  It’s basically where a bunch of bloggers create a blog post on command about a certain noun.  Today’s word bomb of the day, children, is: Bacon. What can one really say about Bacon?  It’s…

  • My Short Term Memory is Shot

    My Short Term Memory is Shot

    Lately, my short term memory has been failing at life. It’s taken a nice long vacation and has not returned. It’s getting scary you guys. I used to be so on top of things and now I’m a sad shell of the woman I used to be. Guys, thoughts will appear and then they disappear…

  • The “Feeling Hellish” Fairy

    The “Feeling Hellish” Fairy

    I was driving home from work the other day when I started thinking about how shitty I’ve been feeling lately.  And whenever I think about how shitty I feel, I think about how I want to “gift” that shitty feeling onto someone else. Like, here ya go, feel how I’m feeling.  How does that terrible…

  • Small Cat Diary

    Small Cat Diary

    Mr. VS and I have been watching a show on Netflix entitled Big Cat Diary. It’s a BBC show with a few Brits who travel to Africa and film big cats doing their thang. I.e. hunting, killing shit, having adorbs kittens/cubs, murdering gazelles, fighting among themselves etc. It’s pretty good.  But it makes me want…
