Three years!!!
Last year I wrote this for you.
This year I’m gonna let Aretha do the work.
Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your the key to peace my mindCause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural womanWhen my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn’t know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I’m no longer doubtful of what I’m living for
Cause if I make you happy I don’t need to do moreCause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural womanOh, baby, what you’ve done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman
Happy Anniversary hot stuff. Never forget that death is the your only way out 🙂

Book Review – The Distant Hours
posted by Leave a Comment
I totally judged this book by it’s cover. In this case it worked out pretty well. I just stumbled upon this novel at the library. I had never heard of it or the author but the jacket description had me hooked.
The Distant Hours is the story of Edie Burchill and her mother. Her mother was sent to the English countryside during WWII to live with a family she did not even know. (Did you know this went on? I thought it was just the kids from Narnia. live and learn.) The family she stayed with consisted of three daughters of a famous author. They lived in a friggin castle with a moat. Seriously. The author was weird and his daughters were weirder. Edie can’t get her mother to talk about the experience so she sets out to investigate on her own. She visits the now-elderly sisters at Milderhurst Castle. Time has not been kind to this family. All three sisters are still living but are also varying degrees of ‘nuttier than a fruitcake’.
Let me admit something. This book scared the tweet outta me. It’s not a horror novel but it just has this creepy feel to it. Don’t read it late at night alone. But do read it. It’s creepy good.
