Lovin Update

Wow! It has been so long since I've posted anything I'm not sure if I know how to do this anymore. So many things have happened since March. I turned 40 in April, Shannon & I are both back in school, my 13yr old had swine flu, & we moved from our apartment into Shannon's grandma's house. We spent a month remodeling, planted a garden, & moved in. We are very comfortable here & I know Shannon's grandma would've wanted it this way. She was a really cool & extremely funny woman.

This past weekend we headed down to Destin, FL to see Joan Jett. Anyone who knows Shannon is aware that JJ is her idol so she was pumped. We stayed in her brothers condo which allowed me to hang on the beach which is where I love to be. We pigged out at the Seafood Festival where Joan was playing & staked out our front row spot. It was so much fun. Shannon danced her way out in front of the stage, followed by our friend Michelle. She handed me the camera & told me she was going so I was able to capture it. It was the coolest thing ever. Check it out- She is SO adorable.



I have to tell you that Joan Jett is looking so awesome. I was just in gaga land & drooling through most of the show. She is a really beautiful woman. I announced that she is my new freebie. She did this little eye rub thing that Shannon does all the time. Shannon claims Joan "stole her move". How freakin adorable is that? So anyway, there's an update for everyone. We are doing fine. The kids are fine. We're engaged to be married & just waiting for Shannon's divorce to be final. C'mon! It's been two years. Will it end already? There's another court date set for next month. Maybe this date will actually stick. We'll see.

Maybe later I'll post pics from our trip. It was one of my best vacations ever.
See ya!

My grrl

Shannon is so good to me. She is a total sweetheart. A couple of days ago we were working together cleaning up some stuff in our apartment. (No, not my closet..YET) I asked her if I could have a kiss. She replied, "You can have two". I took my two yummy kisses & was on a cloud for hours. I have never in my 40yrs had anyone say that to me before. I thought it was so adorable. My grrl is the best.

Happy Birthday, Shannon!

Saturday night Shannon & I went out to celebrate her 40th Birthday. All of her friends were there & we had a great time. Here's a pic. Don't you just want to kiss us?




Shannon is the best gf in the world. I am so happy to be a part of her life. She helps me be a better person & I realize how blessed I am to have found her. When God made her he definitely had hooking her up with me in mind.

I may have posted this pic before but it's my favorite of her. We were at a hotel down in Athens, AL & she was sitting on the floor watching me. Sorry that it is the size of a postage stamp. The hottness still comes through if you squint your eyes.




One of the things about Shannon that I noticed when we first met is the way she walks. It is hard to explain & I tried to catch it on video once so I could show my long distance friends but she eluded me. It's like trying to film some wild, exotic animal that flies away before you can capture the image. But the walk is there & I'm not the only one to have noticed it. When she walks you just know that she's walking to the beat of Joan Jett's "I Love Rock & Roll" playing in her head. She's a hot rock n roll vixen who looks damn fine for 20 years old, let alone 40. She's got a rockin' body & a youthful attitude. We both actually think we are still in our 20's so it works out well. The fact that she is young at heart is one of my favorite things about her. She's not afraid to go hiking & get dirty or jump in the water-as long as it's not cold. I never know what I'm going to get with her. She has been known to grab me & kiss me all of the sudden or throw me on the bed & tickle me or pull me in the shower with all my clothes on. She is very affectionate. She's always holding my hand or kissing me. She is always very thoughful to everyone & thinks of others before herself. I love everything about her & I hope she never changes.

She owes everything she is to her Dad & his wife who are two of the nicest people in the world. We were at her Dad's yesterday & his wife made the best Southern food I have ever had. She always whips up something delicious every time we're there. She made Shannon's favorite coconut cake. It was deeeelicious!

Next month I am taking Shannon to Baltimore to meet my best friend Trailer & my friends Kathy & Ruth from Milwaukee. There we will celebrate Shannon's 40th all over again. One of the things I plan on doing is taking her to Max's On Broadway where the "I love rock n roll" video was shot. I told her if the record machine is still there I will put her in a black leather jacket & red converse high tops & snap a shot of her. She flat out said that wasn't going to happen. My bff & I are looking for other Joan Jett places to check out so if anyone knows of any please let me know. And please encourage Shannon to allow me to take a pic of her to post.

Happy 40th Birthday, Baybee. And may we spend 60 more of them together happily in love.

I love you. xoxo

Happy Birthday Sis!

On this fine St. Patricks Day 34 yrs ago my youngest sister Amy was born. Amy is one of the sweetest most beautiful people you could ever know. She is hard working & put herself through college. She is a fantastic mother & wife. She married the boy next door & has two beautiful children that love their aunt dearly. I am proud to call her my sister. And more importantly she is proud to call me hers. Happy Birthday Amy. I love you, I miss you. xoxo

Here’s Amy after she won the Texas Hold Em tournament in Florida. Due to our Father’s excellent gambling skills us siblings held four of the top five spots. Amy won the trophy & the money. Fun times.



Here’s Amy at the firing range with our bro. She’s is a total sweetheart but can be a real viper when you threaten her young or any other member of our family.




Here we are pretending we are Charlie’s Angels with our other sister Wendy. Our bro thought he was Bosley that day.

What's up with me?

Hello my loyal readers. It seems that you five incredible fans are wondering where I am & if I have tased myself & died or am in a coma. Well, I didn't. Shannon was concerned that it may have an impact on my sex drive so I decided to do some investigating. I watched some videos & read some articles & concluded that it was kind of like playing roulette. I don't like the possible chance of my heart stopping or nerve damage so I decided not to do it. I figure it can't be good for the sex drive either. And that is so important in a healthy relationship.

Here are my other updates: I'm studying for a test I am taking in two Saturdays for a certification for Quality. Shannon is in school this week finishing her Microsoft certification. My place of employment is closing down so I have 20 working days left at the job I've been with for 12 yrs. My dad decided that if I change my last name to Shannon's I will be out of his will & my three siblings will get my share of his inheritance. This is nuts to me for many reasons but mostly because I currently have my ex husbands last name. Apparently it's okay for me to live/sleep with the woman I love but the name thing is crossing the line of gayness that should not be crossed. Proving once again that it IS possible to be "too gay". (The "too gay" story is another post I'll do some time when I am no longer employed at my current job) Other than that we've been busy with the kids & friends. Not too exciting. Oh yeah, Shannon keeps taking the covers off me in bed. I tried to take them off her a few times but this turns into me sprawled out on the floor freezing cold after she lovingly pushes me off the bed. Ahh..I love that woman.

One more thing. Shannon got the cutest underwear this weekend. They are those kind that look like boy underwear. They actually look sexy on her but I tell her they are cute. She doesn't like it when I use words like cute or adorable to describe her. I say those words to her just to tease her. Actually she has hypnotizing, smoldering green eyes & should be described as sexy, dangerous, smoking freakin' hot, etc. You get the picture. She is a red hot, Joan Jett, cherry bomb.

Well, off to work my peeps! I will leave you with a pic of Shannon & I from last April. Look at those gorgeous green eyes. Yes, we are still that happy.

xoxo,
Sweet Melissa

Shocking, isn't it?

Anyone who reads my blog reads Shannon’s so you know that she has been pretty sick since Saturday afternoon. Even in her sickness she still cracks me up & has a very sharp mind. You can tell that from her amazing post yesterday.

When I got to work this morning one of my coworkers was talking to another & I hear her say, “So I told Jeff the only person crazy enough here to do that is Melissa”. When I asked her what she was talking about she hangs her arm over the cubicle to show me a loud zapping taser. I have never seen one in real life & up close they are pretty scary. As I looked at it I felt some sort of hypnotizing feeling taking me over. It’s kind of like a moth to a flame or a mosquito to a bug light. Much like an electric fence or Shannon, I have the urge to touch them when I see them. I told my coworker I would let her zap me if someone taped it & I got the only copy of the disc. She laughed & agreed.

Like a little school kid I had to jet an email to Shannon right away to let her know of my exciting plan & what she thought. Her first response was “you’re crazy”. Then I told her that my coworker said I might pee myself so I will do it at the end of the day. Shannon in all her four day medicine-hazed wisdom simply replied, “Empty your bladder first. This will not affect your sex drive will it?”

Dear Lord I love this woman. She was truly made for me.



Here is one of my favorite Super Friends. The Black Vulcan. This guy could shoot electricity out of his hands, travel at the speed of light, & best of all, time travel. Maybe after I'm tased I will have these abilities.

Don't worry, baybee. I'll make sure it doesn't affect my sex life. hee hee

Holy crap!

Holy crap have I been busy. And I even had a week off from work. If you are wondering what I've been doing please check out the pics my gf posted yesterday. http://sinnerviewer.blogspot.com/ The last one should explain most of how I spent my time off.

So the emails with the magazine in the previous post ended with the editor threatening a slander lawsuit. I am thinking I will post the ridiculous email exchange between us. It's funny. I think my initial mistake was that after my address was corrected a woman sent me an email thanking me for my patients. To which I replied, "I don’t recall referring any patients to you but thank you so much. Lol"

I never rec'd another magazine. Go figure! Anyway, I'll get to that another day. For now I would like to post my favorite commercial of all time. Please feel free to leave a link to yours.

How I would love to awaken Shannon:

Duped at Pride

I recently made this photo my new Facebook pic. People seem to love it so I thought I’d post it. This was taken last July when I moved from Michigan to Atlanta to live with Shannon & reminded me of a sore subject. It was my first official weekend here & what better way to celebrate than to head on down to the Atlanta Pride festival. It was a beautiful, hot & sunny day. We roamed around, met people, & ate. Just before the parade started the skies opened up with a hellacious thunderstorm that forced us under a huge tent in the middle of all the action. After a while the tent became an island with a mote of slowly rising water around it. We had a fantastic time as the picture clearly shows. I was warm, wet, & happy to pose with some cute little gay boys we met that day.

Eventually the rain lightened up a little & we waded out to view the parade & wrap up a fun filled day.

While walking around we came across a booth with a really nice lady who was selling subscriptions to a lesbian magazine her & her girlfriend started. After some conversation she brought up that her girlfriend was a fellow Michigander. So in support of gay businesses I bought a one year subscription. After waiting what seemed like forever I decided I would contact the magazine folks to see when I would get my first issue. There was some sort of mix up with my address so their computer was updated & I received a mag in a few days. I absolutely LOVED it! I was totally satisfied with the quality articles & monthly columns & was impressed by the minimal amount of adds. I couldn’t wait to receive the next months issue which I was told would be mailed at the same time. To make a long story short I haven’t received any issues since. I’ve had multiple email exchanges with the administrative assistant & I’m just plain old tired of waiting for the next “promised” issue to arrive. I wrote the woman today & told her she has ten days to either give me my money back or resolve the problem. If not, I will start blogging about the poor customer service I have received & see if any of my fellow lesbians were duped at pride. All ten subscribers to my blog will surely rise up in arms & support me. Come on peeps! Get your pitchforks & torches ready!

Seriously, this sucks for me because other than Curve there are no decent lesbo mags since the demise of Girlfriends Magazine. I considered Girlfriends the equivilant of a lesbian version of People. My subscription was suddenly replaced with On Our Backs which was replaced with Velvet Parked then I just received nothing. The last Velvet Park I received cracked me up. There was a spread with a woman painted like a dalmation with a bridle in her mouth. The pics included various poses of undress & positions that would make any respectable lesbian laugh or gag. I chose to laugh. Anyway, I’m sad because I don’t have Girlfriends to read or this new cool mag. Please recommend a lesbian magazine if you could or stop back in ten days from now & I’ll reveal this mystery mag with either a raving review or a sad expose.
Kisses, ~m

She's not just a fag hag, she's my SISTER!!!!!

My sister Wendy was kind enough to allow me & my kids to stay with her while I was in MI visiting so I wanted to do a little post about her. We were brought up in a Christian home & it was very difficult to come out to my family. Wendy was the most Christian of all so it was really hard to tell her for fear that I would lose her friendship. She has been my best friend in life & when I finally did come out to her she cried. She said she wished that I had told her years ago & that she loved me no matter what. She asked why I lied to her all these years. I explained to her that I was lying to myself not her. She was so hurt & for that I will always be sorry.

While I was home on Christmas I discussed gay marriage with Wendy & my Mom. When I first came out they both didn’t want to talk about it. I guess they had to wrap their minds around me coming out & how it would affect my kids & husband. Gay marriage was too much for them to comprehend at that time. When we revisited the discussion this Christmas they both said they believe I should have the right to be married & all the benefits that come with it. This was a pleasant surprise for me since I do plan on marrying Shannon whether it is legal or not. After all, I am in a loving committed relationship with the person I plan to spend my life with. Why shouldn’t I assure that she will receive all of my benefits if something happens? I was shocked to see that Wendy was cool with the marriage thing. I was discussing the bible & what it said about homosexuality & Wendy told me that I wouldn’t find the answer I was seeking there. She said, “Look, I’m not gonna judge you. Your sins are no greater than mine. And I do NOT believe you will go to hell for this”. My Mom was nodding in agreement as Wendy spoke. I can’t even tell you how happy this made me feel.

Wendy & I went to the Brokeback Mountain premiere together. It was gays wall to wall & then there was Wendy. The queen of fag hags. She loved our Brokeback movie night. She felt as though she were a special member in a secret society of gaydom. Sometimes she’d accompany me to the gay bars. She loves gay boys & tells them they are beautiful & they tell her she is too. It’s a fabulous equation. Wendy + gay boys = Happiness all around & inflated egos galore.

Wendy’s boyfriend Matthew is in the military & doesn’t believe gay marriage is right. Here’s a video of her discussing Brokeback Mt with he & I at a sports bar…




As you can tell she gets a little mad about the subject. LOL

Anyway, thanks for letting me chill at your place on Christmas. And I do mean chill. It was SO cold!!! Here’s a big kiss from me to you. I love you, Wendy!

How many chicks will do this for you?

As many of you are aware my grrl is one smooth & sexy chick. While we were in Fla celebrating the 1 yr anniversary of the day we met I shot this cute little video of her. She had taken me to the beach a few times. Now she is not a fan of the beach but I am a sun lover so she always makes the sacrifice of taking me there. We took a little time out to roll around & make out in the sand. Yum! I'll have to put up that video another time.

Anyway, Shannon always opens the car door for me which is so sweet & I hope she never stops. As I jumped in she grabbed me & started to wipe off my feet. I took her camera & said I needed to put this on my blog. She's always a good sport so she went along with it.

Here's Shannon being the sexy chick that she is:
