Lyrics –

[Verse 1]
Take me back to old Yazoo
Everything up here is new
I can’t stand it, just must landed
Going back to Old Yazoo

[Verse 2]
Everything you do
People got their eyes on you
It’s compelling, y’have me yelling
Going back to Old Yazoo

[Bridge]
If you don’t like beans and rice
Get your rice and beans
If you don’t like greens and ham
Just get your ham and greens

[Verse 3]
How long will I have you wait?
Standing at the station gate
Broken hearted, gotta get started
Going back to Old Yazoo

[Chorus]
Oh, take me back to Old Yazoo
Everything up here is new
I can’t stand it, just must landed
Going back to Old Yazoo
Everything you do
Peoplе got their eyes on you
It’s compеlling, y’have me yelling
“Take me back to Old Yazoo”

[Post-Chorus]
If you don’t like beans and rice
Get your rice and beans
If you don’t like greens and ham
Just get your ham and greens
Lordy, lordy

[Verse 4]
How long will I have to wait
Standing at the station gate
I’m broken hearted
Gotta get started
Going back to old Yazoo

[Refrain]
Yazoo (Yazoo)
Yazoo (Yazoo)
Yazoo (Yazoo)
Yazoo (Yazoo)
I am going to Yazoo, that’s where I belong
Everything I tell you seems to be all wrong
Yazoo (Yazoo)
Yazoo (Yazoo)

[Vocalizing Interlude]

[Outro]
Going back to old Yazoo
(Going back to old Yazoo)

My 2 cents –

My son felt like this was a silly song. To me it feels like old Jazz. It has a lovely feel to it. And it is different than the music you hear today.

Size is the judge

Meme

so I had the first visit with a new dr Friday. Yesterday I got in email notes from the visit. Now before I get to the reason why I was upset about the notes…I need to state a bit of history. I have been 450 lbs at the largest I ever got. I have been on every diet possible as a teenager. I have been fighting with disordered eating for years. I barely eat once a day and I eat a proper portion when I do. it’s all in my chart.

so I looked at the notes and the doctor said I should be assigned behavioral counseling for obesity. I am sitting at 278. which is even 10 lbs less than the last time I was there.

I am still around 50 lbs more than I want to be…,but I will always be obese as I am 5’2. according to the bmi chart I would hit obese at 120. I have no way to get that small.

so I will be looking for a new dr and I had a good cry.

Book I Have Read

For Whom The Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

From Hell’s Belles BookTok sensation Jaysea Lynn comes a hotter-than-hell romantasy about love, magic, and found family in the Afterlife, perfect for fans of Sarah A. Parker and Callie Hart.

They told her to go to Hell.
She went, but on her own terms.

Lily isn’t exactly thrilled with her arrival in the Afterlife, but what awaits her there is more fantastical than she ever could have imagined: Deities wait in line at the coffee shop. Fae flit between realms. Souls find ways to make death a beginning.

As she explores the many corners of the Afterlife, Lily finds herself surprisingly drawn to a place most people would avoid at all costs: Hell. Armed with years of customer service experience and pent-up sarcasm, Lily carves a job out for herself amongst Hell’s demons, sending souls to their rightful circles with more than a hint of sass.

Lily’s expectations are subverted every day in Hell—especially by Bel, a demon general with a distractingly sexy voice. The two meet by chance and form an immediate, deeply healing friendship, but the undeniable heat between them threatens to combust.

Meanwhile, something stirs beyond the boundaries of their world, threatening to destroy everything they’ve known and everything that could be…unless they fight like Hell to stop it.

This debut novel from BookTok sensation Jaysea Lynn invites you to lose yourself in a world where love ignites in the unlikeliest of places, magic defies the rules, and the Afterlife proves more thrilling than anyone could imagine.

My 2 cents –

I was lucky enough to read this when it was on AOC. The actual book has a lot of differences. She did a wonderful job of cleaning it up. The world is richly designed. The characters are well written. And you are just drawn into the story. I highly recommend anyone read this.

Lyrics –

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
Yet, I know it’s true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you’ll do
You’ll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream

La-la, la-la, la, ah, ah, ah
But if I know you, I know what you’ll do
You’ll love me at once
The way you did once upon a dream

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it’s true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you’ll do
You’ll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream

My 2 cents –

This version has a dreamy feel to it. I love the song overall, but this one suits the song better.

Ah an end of a cycle

Meme - Overthinking

I have been posting daily for over 60 days now. Between the PAD challenge and the MerMay challenge I have been sure to get something up for the last two months.

  Fae corps publishing is doing a short story prompt a day for June but it is just a bit too much for me. I am going to be trying to get caught up with the publishing work I am slightly behind on. so I am going to be going back to the weekly posts and weekends off except for the occasional random ones. I will be doing a few things differently for the weekday posts. I hope you enjoy it. I want to squeeze an art post in somewhere. I am hoping to post a bit more….but I don’t know if I will. I am back to running both my own personal blog and Fae Corps Publishing’s blog. so I am bound to mess up some where. I do the schedule for the week on Sunday for both.

I hope you have enjoyed the art and poetry.
