Music is the language of my soul. Always has been. Earliest memories is my father blasting Frank on the stereo on a Sunday morning, trying to wake up my brother and me.
The music and lyrics move me, speak to me, speak for me and ground me.
Reason for the name of my blog seems rather obvious, as it fitly describes my husband’s infidelity…tempted by the fruit of another.

I honestly have so much music, that I’ve backed up my library to more than one cloud account. Some girls spend their $ on clothes (okay, I do that, too)–I spend it on music.
I’ll post some great music here from time to time as musical dedications. Purely mood driven and selfish, but WTFN (why the f*ck not)?
