Everybody needs a glass of water today/ to chase the hate away…/ You know you’ve got company comin over/ So you scrub extra-hard…/ And everybody needs somebody to love/ Before its too late…it’ss too laaaaaaateee/ Oh don’t nobody wanna grow old alone! - Andre 3000, The Love Below

About This Post/Podcast:

The following selections are what I’m listening to at the ‘crib’. It is by no means intended to be a definitive collection of love songs to “set the mood” for Valentines Day, more so, an eclectic mix of love/love-hater songs that make nice for a day like today. . . no matter what your relationship status is.

Saucy Trivia:

The image used for this post was taken in the boudoir of the Saucy Dame Dizzle.

The framed print of Billie Holiday (one of my absolute favorite songbirds), was given to me by the man whom I may possibly grow old with. He is one of my best friends and my favorite Valentine, always. Sincere and thoughtful he is… When my mind and spirit were ailing he brought to the ocean to bath in the sunshine and lick traces of sea-salt from my lips…

Parting Commentary:

The most important person you should ever romance is YOURSELF. Take the time to nurture your soul. Be kind to your heart and spirit. Learn to love YOU first. Everything else will fall into place.

LISTEN to the lyrics…and FEEL me in several different ways.

#20 really says it all…

PUMP THAT VALENTINES ON THE DAILY!

*Hugs*

Return from Paradise:

Coming home from a tropical, très chic, climate such as South Beach; to a dreary, rain soaked Minneapolis has been a real drag. Seems like all I want to do is curl up into a snuggly ball and hit the snooze button until the funs begins. I’m not ready to kick off my glittery flip-flops and ditch the swimwear. I prefer petting parrots, hugging palm trees and sipping fruity drinks. After several deep-soaks in the bathtub I still have white sand in my belly button! I’se ready to go back, already! I know Miami wants me to come back too. *wink*

Photos and commentary are coming down the pike. Check back soon.

With that being said . . .

The woman who resides behind the door pictured above is in love with music. What would any home be like without the sound of sweet music filling its nooks and crannies? I couldn’t even imagine. I am a musical person, always have been. I thank the Creator for that, *smile*. Much to the annoyance of my coworkers, I’m always humming a song under my breath. And if I’m not singing a song, I’m thinking about the lyrics in my head.
