That's what I like about you Blu. Always thinking.

Hey, I hang my hat on the concept of "continuous improvement". If I was doing something wrong, you'd have to tell me. Hell, draw me a map if you have to. I can follow a map don't cha know. It's all about getting it right.

Of course, if a woman changes things we'd have to practice to make sure I got it right.

It's a milestone and you're happy with who you've become. Celebrate it girl!

"How come I listen to songs on repeat like 15 times?"

It must be a new song that you enjoy. I do that too!

"I submitted my application to volunteer at the Women’s Center. I’m anxiously waiting to hear from them."

Giving from our overflow of God's goodness is always a beautiful thing!

"Gospel music is so wonderful to wake up to…even at 4:30am."

Gospel is good anytime!

Be careful what you wish for. I have the summer off, but I can't find anything to do with all the time right now. I need a hobby!

I’m so disgusted with the radio that I rarely even listen to it.

Now this is priceless. Have you ever tried pandora.com. It's supposed to tailor music to your tastes. I need a young, black, laid back, male station.

Greetings, sis!

How come all of these apply to me as well, except the one about T-Pain (I'm not a hip hop fan in general)? Love the one about turning the BIG 4-0. I have about a year and a half to go, and I can't wait! I told myself I'm going to be physically fit, healthy, happy, and sexy at 40, and damnit, I mean it! LOL! (Huff, puff; getting my aerobics and meditation on).

LOL @ Terry! Draw me a map...

I'm gonna miss you; but I gotcha back while you're gone. Don't stay away too long, momma!

My favorite gospel jam(s) is/are "Wholly Holy" and "Higher Mountains" by Aretha Franklin and the Southern California Community Choir. I love that album "Amazing Grace" by her.

I too listen to the same song over and over. I plug my iPod to repeat and I'm there 'til I'm dumb.

Happy 40th, let me testify. When I hit 40 I too a cruise to Hawaii and lived it up.

Hope your week off is cool, relaxing and fulfilling (that you find a prom dress).

Dont be ashamed, I like that T-Pain song too.

Getting the summer off is good. This is going to be the last summer I get off and I wont even get a chance to enjoy it!!

Xave said...

Have fun in JA. Meeting you was so special. You just don’t know. I know you will be an incredible asset to the Women’s Center.

The big 40... Let me just say that you look outstanding!

YOU like texting? I find that hard to believe. Better be Verizon to Verizon...lol. LMAO @ Daniel and ur whole Y&R rant. I can't remember what else I was gonna say. This was quite amusing though.

YouToldHarpoTaBeatMe said...

Don't feel bad. I have a hard time liking OPK's too, especially if you read my last entry. If I really like a song, I'll listen to it all day. I'm stuck on 'buy you a drank' too.... to the point that I embarass the hell out of my daughter on "AWWWWWW SNAP!" LoL "This is the day" by Fred Hammond is my favorite gospel pick-me-up song as of late, so I understand.
