Hell on Heels..............

I decided late yesterday afternoon that I needed - yes NEEDED - better music to walk/run with.  I'm using an "app" on my phone that requires my music to have a certain "beat per minute" because I walk a minute, run a minute, and so on.  Jeff Galloway - yep, the man himself - coaches me through my workouts, and today was my first LONG walk/run - 40 minutes - with a 3 minute warm-up & 3 minute cool-down.  


So yes, I needed, NEEDED, needed new music.  I am sick of the same old music - I now officially hate "Sexy Back" and "My Sharona."  And if I ever hear "I Will Survive" again I most assuredly will PUKE.  


Opened up iTunes, grabbed the trusty debit card, and searched & searched until I found stuff that had the right BPM.  The only OTHER criteria was that the song had to make me feel pissed off (yep - figure THIS out), happy, inspired, and make me laugh.  I don't even remember now how I came across this group, Pistol Annies, a new "girl-group" Miranda Lambert started.  I don't even listen to country music anymore, but this song met ALL my criteria - it pissed me off, made me feel happy, inspired me, and MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!


My last blog was about dating - and my readiness to start that adventure.  WELL SUGAR this song (and a really sweet, kind comment from a dear friend who is MUCH younger but also much wiser) confirmed that I'm ready, willing, and more than able.  I'm still a little chubby, a little clumsy, and a little nervous, and a little scared.  But as each day passes I realize - with a LOT of help from my girlfriends - thank you KAY and MARY and DEBBIE and MARGIE and CHANDA and JOY - that I am a catch - I am pretty - I am smart - I AM WORTHY damn IT ---- I am Hell on Heels.


So take a listen, take a look, and look out SUGAR DADDY, I'm coming for YOU!





Lyrics to Hell on Heels :

I'm hell on heels
Say what you will
I done made the devil a deal
He made me pretty
He made me smart
And I'm gonna break me a million hearts
I'm hell on heels
Baby, I'm coming for you

This diamond ring
On my hand's
The only good thing
That came from that man
Got a G.T.O. from one named Joe
And a big piece of land down in Mexico
I'm hell on heels
Baby, I'm coming for you

I got a pink guitar
A Lincoln town car
From ol' what's his name
I meet at a bar
Got a high rise flat in Hollywood
From a married man wasn't up to no good
I'm hell on heels
Baby, I'm coming for you

Then there's Jim
I almost forgot I ran him off
But I took the yacht
Poor ol' Billy
Bless his heart
I'm still using his credit card
I'm hell on heels
Sugar daddy, I'm coming for you

I'm hell on heels
Say what you will
I done made the devil a deal
He made me pretty
He made me smart
And I'm gonna break me a million hearts
I'm hell on heels
Baby, I'm coming for you

I'm hell on heels
Say what you will
I done made the devil a deal
He made me pretty
He made me smart
I'm gonna break me a million hearts
I'm hell on heels
Sugar daddy, I'm coming for you

Maybe it's time.........to date

Seriously - not a blogger.  But have some things that I need to get out of my head, off my chest, and into the cosmos.  I joke all the time about Facebook sending me messages about "find the love of your life" on this dating site or "meet Mr. Right" on this site.  Need a boyfriend?  Facebook will help you find THE right online dating venue.  If ONLY it were that simple.......


I've made so many positive changes in my life in the past year.  But dating?  Let's see how many excuses I can put forth!  


(1)  Burton is still at home & it will "mess him up."  
(2) I am not at my goal weight yet..... 
(3) Just started a new job, no time for this nonsense.
(4) Must finish graduate school FIRST.
(5) Would have to shave my legs occasionally.
(6) Might have to whiten my teeth so my dazzling smile looks better.
(7) Might have to REALLY clean my house, not just spit clean
(8) Can't let anything interfere with my time with my grandson :)


You get the point!  Great excuses, all valid, yet somehow NOT valid.  I have a really good friend who met and/or reconnected to the love of her life AFTER 50 - they married, they are sickeningly happy, and I love hearing all about it.  I was married for 16 years --- not long by today's standards.  And I thought I would NEVER even entertain the thought of marrying again, and then my friend goes off & does it - and dang it - she is HAPPY!!  


I look around sometimes & think - hmmmm --- Burton is a senior, he will leave next August & he might not ever live at home again.  Yep - just me & Emma - my crazy Jack Russell.  Grad school is a given, but I'll still have some free time.  Grandson is busy - can still see him.  I've decided I need to make a list of the reasons why I should date, so here goes (feel free to comment/add to my lovely list):


     (1) Free dinners
     (2) I haven't had sex since 1996.......
     (3) I don't want to spend the rest of my life "alone"
     (4) I haven't had sex since 1996......
     (5) I want to fall in love
     (6) Ditto #4
     (7) I want to share my  fears, joy, happiness, with someone else
     (8) Free movies


The moral of THIS little blog is that maybe it's time.  Time to give it a chance, time to have some fun.  So family, friends, Facebook --- feel free to "fix me up."  I look forward to starting THIS adventure!
