Since I'm not at nationals

PLEASE AND BLESSINGS, since I’m not at nationals this year and its making me itch like a crack head going through withdrawal I thought I’d catch up on all the tags I’ve not done so here goes…

as a very PROUD PARENT....CoPo felt the need to do a top 5, and he tagged the parents he knows so here goes:

Raquita's 5 reasons: Why im a proud parent
(Or 5 reasons i havent killed them yet!)

1. because she came out of me
2. she smiles all the time and makes me remember how good life is
3. cause she is the best parts of Jerry and I (have you seen her picture?!?!)
4. Cause I love learning and seeing things again for the first time
5. because she is the best person I know

ok, now the flip side.......

Queue's 5 Musical Guilty Pleasures
(Or 5 songs I can currently think of that I am totally embarrased for liking!)

1. Hollaback Girl –Gwen S (yes I’m in the same boat as 97% of white girls under the age of thirty)

2. Cater to you –Destiny’s Child (I’m not supposed to like it – cause then Jerry’s like why don’t you do all that for me – but if I did all that I wouldn’t have time to do the other things for him I do – pick a set DUDE!!!one or the other)

3. Marcus Houston--"Naked” I just like looking at him – it reminds me of my Immature days Before IMX before B2K back when the Boys were on my wall… You know they live in Africa and have dreds down there backs and tons of kids now? Figures….

4. Jesse McCartney “Beautiful Soul" don’t ask I don’t know how I even heard it…

5. Jennifer Lopez –“Get Right" I love her – I don’t know why – I just do – love the movies love the CD’s dude – I’m getting therapy fo’real.

Write 15 statements anonymous to people on my friends list; but this is a blog so I’m going to use my favorite links list, people who comment and the people on my friends list over on Live journal too… .
1) Everything you think about me and mine is true about you and yours, we are a reflection of the people close to us.
2) I wish I knew you better but the people we both know may have clouded that possibility already.
3) Life has a plan for you – I wish I could tell you when it will become clear – but I can’t.
4) You are easily one of the best people to happen to me in a long time.
5) Without you I would miss it everyday – thank you.
6) I wish we could be better friends – I wish I could be what you need from me – but I don’t know what that is.
7) I would love to meet you – maybe one day.
8) I keep you on my list even though we don’t know each other because I am a fan of your work.
9) You have a beautiful light inside I’m glad I get to see – you should turn it on more often
10) I wonder what kid of child you were.
11) I think we could be really good friends even though you live far away
12) You are the reason I do this, and I pray she doesn’t come between us.
13) I wonder what you appear to be, I don’t know and I’m not really sure I want to
14) You are strange. Really and not in a fun way – I don’t think – okay maybe a little fun.
15.)You are a really really good poet.
Tagging anybody who feels up to doing any of these – Jerry you have to do at least one!
