No Means NO, Dumbass!


Okay, so this time around - I let you into a very personal aspect of my life. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE understand that while I was never forced into something I didn't want - I was pressured but I stood my ground!

No person, regardless of gender, preference, or subject matter, should be forced or guilted into something that they don't want to do. Which is basically what someone had tried to do - guilt me into something by playing on my emotions... It takes a special brand of a person to be able to say "no" and to stand their ground. But, I honestly believe we all have had some experience(s) in our history that we weren't able to say "no" to and stick to our guns... I know that I have that, but what I have learned - is that I'm no longer weak and I can say "no".

I may at a future time, go a little deeper with what I was talking about, but after almost 20 so odd years from the beginning of it all - I don't dwell on it anymore. A person becomes stagnant (WOO-HOO! My college education paying off with the use of a big word!) if they stop living and only focus on one bad aspect of their life...

Please, for the love of WHATEVER or WHOEVER you may or may not believe in, get help if something ever happens to you. There are TONS of local and national services available. You're letting the other person win if you dwell and fester...

But I love you all, and not just for tuning into my show every week (or so), because a person has to be able to love. If for no other reason then to try to cancel out some of hate that we feel towards others... And go check out Mentalwarts Radio - I have my own THEME MUSIC!!! If the CRS doesn't kick in next time - I'll try to remember to explain that one!

For the Love of Benadryl

Okay, so like I said at the very end of my show and in the show notes - I'm sorry for sniffling and moving about a lot. The weather around here has SERIOUSLY blown lately and it's getting to me. But this time around, I joke about how it took me a number of recordings before I was able to sit down, record and like what I said. Because I do have to keep in mind how much of my life I'm willing to put out there, because while I use an email address that most of my friends don't know about - I'm not willing to risk an exboyfriend stumbling across my cast!

I also talk about how I've tried to squelch Boy Genius's sticky fingers and I also talk about September 11th. I didn't mean to talk about it for so long, but it sort of just turned out that way. I love that I've gotten some more reviews on iTunes, and I've gotten my first two voicemails!!! Granted - I didn't play them, but it's because I'm still pretty novice about pod casting!

I hope everyone is doing well and like my therapist says - That's all the time we have for today!

The Beastie!


I talked about it in Episode 3 - I think - my CRS BLOWS! But here's a picture of Beastie - anyone want to try to convince me it didn't need to be replaced?

I hate coming up with these!

Okay, so I recorded over the weekend. I was REAL original with the name too! I called is "Honah meets Hanna" kind of as an ode to the wonderful weather I was having all day Saturday!

I'm also still proud of the fact that I was able to keep all of my emotions in check as I took the Boy Genius to his first day of Kindergarten! Cupcake also started her first day of High School - but she's too busy bitching about the walk and how messed up her schedule is. Oh well babe!

There have been two books that I have read recently read and gave reviews on. The one - I totally suggest reading the one "Cocktails for Three" and I TOTALLY suggest AVOIDING the other "The Diary of a Mistress". I'm still open and hoping for some more suggestions on books to read.
