Almost 40 And Starting Over

I don't know why most women turn 40 and think life is over. I believe a number is just a number and the rest is a mindset.

Everyone fails at one point in life. Some of the biggest lessons are learned by making mistakes.

I myself have made plenty, but today, for the first time in almost 7 months, I decided to go back to the diet clinic and give weight loss another try.

I just looked at the program book and the following quotes I liked:

1) It's never too late to be what you might of been.
2) You can see difficulty in every opportunity, or opportunity in every difficulty.
3) My mind is my garden, my thoughts are my seeds. I will harvest either flowers or weeds.

Nice quotes but I threw the rest of the book in the garbage. I know how to lose weight. I just need to learn to focus again.

Now it's time to kill some fucking weeds.

Who wrote the list, Timothy Leary, wtf?

Lol, I'm kidding, those three are actually "sage bits" I have a hard time being consistent with.

Some things I really like about being 40, other things really suck.

Apparently, I can turn heads at 40 better than I ever could at 25, though I'm about to put out an APB for the ass I once had.

I can get 25-year-old men I couldn't get when I WAS 25, but discovered that perhaps they were never worth it anyway.

I don't speak Asperger's well and I can't sleep with stupid people.

The stamina is a plus, but then, of course, they speak...or.... blurt. ;)

I'm pretty thin, but I don't understand how we develop that fleshy stuff between our underarms and boobs...do you know what I'm talking about?

That layer of...whatever..that likes to suddenly creep out of your bra, like, "Hello...you're 40."

What IS that? And more importantly, what exercises can one do for THAT?

During this economy, I'm afraid lots of us have had to shelve our dreams and stick with something stable for now, but there's still time...hopefully one day I'll be a cap-n-gown granny getting my Master's.;)

As for the weeds, pass me the bong..erm..I mean weed killer.

(Kidding...anyone that knows me knows I don't do drugs. Okay, I smoked weed in college, but didn't everyone?)

Oops...clarification...with the exception of my Mayan Mio...sorry Emilio, you know I love ya.

Had to clarify.;)

Seriously, he's the smartest guy I know, not to mention a mature Mayan GOD, lol.

Fuck I don't know. I'd just settle for perky boobs again.

Somebody please put out an apb on my tits. My under arms have a tendency to confiscate them when I'm laying on my back.

Xel-Ha,

I know we didn't talk about this, but other than the lyrics below, I'm here tonight because...this will be my last comment here at Blogger.:)

Yup, Southern died a long time ago and should've never been resurrected, lol.

I really want to support YOU, it's just there's nothing here for me, I hope you understand.:)

It's really amazing to me that some of the same people that called me "crazy" for saying these things were happening to my accounts are now experiencing similar issues, including the calls to their work, email threats, fake emails from other people....but I'm still crazy?

Dohkay, lol.

Ironic that you were initially one of those people, lol...but in the end, it was your figuring out that all was not what it appeared to be that led to YOUR attack.

You don't shut up, they attack you.;)

Whatever the case, I maintain (and always will) that anyone on Blogger who had a problem with me was hiding something and was terrifed I'd tell someone else;).

Historically, men have tried to silence women by launching a pre-emptive strike, discrediting her mental status so that no one would listen if she tried to tell what she knows.

Sadly, a few women have learned that trick to use on other women as well.;)


Whatever the case and regardless of people say, I have been and always will be your friend.:)

I think you're gonna be okay now, honey...good to see it.

Just because I'm not here, doesn't mean you're alone....our anthem lyrics are below:)

Little less fiery than I was when all this began, but Southern's still a part of me.:)

Note the bold..;)

LYRICS - HUMAN NATURE (My anthem and hopefully will be yours)


(whispered - "Express yourself, don't repress yourself.")

"And I'm not sorry...
It's human nature
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me."

"You wouldn't let me say the words I longed to say
You didn't want to see life through my eyes
You tried to shove me back inside your narrow room
And silence me with bitterness and lies."



Did I say something wrong?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex
(I musta been crazy)
Did I stay too long?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't speak my mind.


(What was I thinking?)

You punished me for telling you my fantasies
I'm breakin' all the rules I didn't make
You took my words and made a trap for silly fools
You held me down and tried to make me break


Did I say something true?


Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex
(I musta been crazy.)

Did I have a point of view?
Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about YOU!



I'm not apologizing.

Would it sound better if I were a man?

Would you like me better if I was?

I don't have to justify anything.

Look in the mirror...I'm just like you.

Deal with it

Absolutely..no...regrets."

Chrys- I have learned a lot these past 3 years.

I have learned how people use the power of suggestion to manipulate the way people think.

I have learned some of the richest people will let you down by making you believe they are something which they are not.

I have learned most people who use the internet manipulate perception by passing around emails behind the scenes and leaving out the portions which they don't want others to see.

I have learned sometimes the things one believes to be the truth might not necessarily be accurate if a person is capable of using propaganda to mindrape others.

And I learned you were an honest victim in all of this and there were people who knew this and sat back and watched your character attacked and did nothing.

Sometimes I have questioned just why so many bad things have happened to good people. I now know it is because they see the glitter they will never have so they try to smother it so nobody notices they don't shine.

Take care my friend. Someday you will realize they never really mattered anyway.

Be well.

Love,
Shelly

Haha...the email is too long, I'll have to save it in two comments!

Email to Wendy, part I:

Wendy,

I'm sorry Wendy, nothing personal, but you won't be able to write me back because after this, I'm having Emilio either delete all accounts or change passwords and questions to obtain passwords so that they cannot be accessed.

What concerns me is you saying something that abused women often say and that I said myself "Why should I leave here?"

You are absolutely right, you didn't do anything wrong - why should you be the one to hide in shame and that's what abusers WANT you to do, stop doing what you enjoy - please don't stop doing what you enjoy because of one asshole (or more.)

I just need to leave you important information. I really don't want to go into the who's and why's, but there are things you need to know to protect yourself. These guys like to use former victims' account info, pictures, etc to terrorize new victims. They start out annoying and funny, but it gets scary in real life, that's what people never knew.

If you run into any problem with these guys, contact XXX at XXXX (you can access him through the comments on my old blog), he knows all about it and though he's busy right now, he's been asked to keep an eye on your situation, he's a XXXX.

I was recently in email communication with someone else who had been hacked by them, which was stupid of me, and since then, I've run into some problems again.

I know you may still be skeptical of me, but honey, they really can hack into yahoo easily, send you a trojan attached to a Word document, and then walk right into your computer and put a keylogger on it.

A keylogger is a device that logs every password you put in and every url you go to.

We suspect I have another one for a multitude of reasons, but the final straw was in that even though I hadn't been to your site in a couple of days (was out having a life, lol), "Porknbeans" showed up and left two comments at the exact times I visited your site.

I show up as "Erlanger, Kentucky" by the way, and I'm hoping they haven't found a way to swipe IPs, that would be bad. XXX says there IS a way, but they'd have to have deep pockets to get it.
