So, some friends of mine got married a couple of weeks ago. It was a small wedding so they threw a party this weekend and invited friends. There was food and drink and much fun, including Karaoke Kerry who had the biggest book of songs I've ever seen. There were the typical songs....country, jazz, blues, and even Broadway and other tunes.
It was then that I saw a couple of my favorite tunes and saw a theme forming. The first song that I signed up to sing.......at my friends' wedding party.......was On My Own from Les Mis. "On my own, pretending he's beside me, all alone, I walk with him till morning............and I know, it's only in my mind, that I'm talking to myself and not to him.......I love him, but when the night is over, he is gone, a river's just a river......."
Nothing like a tribute to loneliness as a gift to my newlywed friends!
My next choice was the Carrie Underwood hit "Before He Cheats"!
Need I say more!
Hence was born the "Bitter Woman Karaoke"! Feel free to post more songs to add to the list for future visits.
Shame is never OK -- especially when dealing with Mental llness

Well, I haven't blogged in a long time, but after three losses in three
weeks I wanted to share some strong feelings I have about shame and mental
illness....
