i remind myself
ladies don’t sweat
as i sit
and perspire

It’s an awkward expressionist’s wonderland. Expect some art, poetry, photography, reflective writing and oh..enormous avalanches of rants!
Just trying to find me between the pages, into the wild I go to lose my mind and find my soul.

.... my journey to a healthy life, making new memories and so much more
🙂 You are a lady, after all:)
LOL
You need a mint julep Miss Melanie – fiddle dee dee:)
😀 too funny! The line that has always stood out in my memory from that movie is “Miss Melly, Miss Melly, I don’t know nuthin’ bout birthin no babies!”
90 degrees? Seriously? That is all?? Here it has touched 46 degrees C, or 115 degrees in American measure! Sweat away !
LOL oh yeah the heat is just starting don’t worry June, July August will increase. I will feel and share your pain 🙂
How does it go? Horses sweat, men perspire and women glisten. Do you feel better now? You were only glistening, you still get a heat rash but you’re only glistening. 😉
LOL we are only getting started in the summer temps so i guess i have a lot of “glistening” ahead! LOL
Glisten like you’ve never glistened before Melanie. 😉
Then I’m no lady! 🙂
LOL!! Me neither 😉
We all glow, perspire and really SWEAT – and ladies don’t escape!! 😉 I hope you are coping ok in that heat Melanie, I’ll command a cool wind to slowly work it’s way towards you! 🙂
Thank you dear.
Here in Japan, deodorant is sparsely used. “Women don’t sweat” is a joke amongst the ladies here, always said with a sneer and sideways glance. That line really got my giggle. 😀
🙂 I’m glad!
