No Longer Missing

Tonight I am going to see Missing Persons and Bow Wow Wow down at the House of Blues.  I am very excited and know it will be a total hot mess.  There is no one that can say Lady Gaga does not owe a MAJOR tilt of the hat to Dale Bozzio, the lead singer, however it was always the guitarist of Missing Persons that caught my eye -- see reason above.  Dale is now 61 - how crazy is that?  I can't wait to tell you all about the insanity.   My favorite part is Dale is from Medford MA.  I love that.  It soooooo makes perfect sense.  Sometimes the stars in life really do align perfectly.

Great News!

I have rejoined my weight loss group!  I have two things currently that I have not had in a while, the money to join but more importantly the desire to do so.  I paid in full both my annual dues to the organization and a year's worth of monthly dues to the chapter.  I really need the accountability.  I have not been on a scale since I left the group.  I am now in the right mind frame and I want to make this change.  The good thing is that I knew I gained weight but was not sure how much because I do not own a scale.  And yes I did gain weight but it is 40 pounds less than the number I was thinking it was going to be.  Sure I still have a lot of work to do but I was shocked at the number I saw today on the scale.  I was shocked in a good way, like a got a jump start on where I am looking to go.  I am very excited over all of this and will keep you posted.  Now next steps are full commitment to eating right and exercising and I know I can do it.

Shady's Back

I did not write in my blog much in 2015.  It was a very difficult year.  I felt super miserable and could not think of good things to say so I just shut down.  So while 2015 was the year of the caterpillar, 2016 definitely is starting off as the year of the butterfly.  Things are not perfect, they never will be, but they are very, very good.  I am going to start posting again.  Some will be long, some will be short but I do miss my blog and so from my cocoon I escape.  Today is Leap Day.  I love Leap Year and Leap Day.  I don't know why but I just think it is cool.  I read a good joke today that said if you a salaried employee then you are working for free today!  So true but I would never have thought of that as I am just happy to be working.  Much, much more to come - you will see.

Ya Know...

Sometimes holding it all together feels like this.

Perfume Genius - 'Hood'

Just discovered this.  Amazing what is out there.  So much insanity on the internet then you stumble across this and you know the internet is the just most amazing place ever.

You would never call me baby
If you knew me truly
Oh but I waited so long for your love
I am scared baby that I can't keep it up for long

Boy I wish I grew up the second
I first held you in my arms
Underneath this hood you kiss
I tick like a bomb

You would never call me baby
If you knew me truly
Oh but I waited so long for you love
I will fight baby not to do you wrong

SOAK - Sea Creatures

Been so obsessed with this song for several months now.  Cannot get over it.
"When they tell you, they love you, well they don't mean it - I don't think they know what they mean.  I don't think they know what love is. Throw it around like it is worthless".
I am not particularly down, I just love this song.  Makes me envious that another human can create such beauty, passion, and emotion.  But I so enjoy that they do.
