PLEASE CLICK ON THE THUMBNAIL PICTURE BELOW AND RATE ONCE OR RE-RATE, SO I WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO BE IN A CALENDAR....THANK YOU...I TRULY LOVE YOU ALL!!

NEW ORLEANS LADY I walk the streets dark and gray The wind is slighty blowing my hair to disarray. A smile on my face for the streets I love I feel the presence of the spirits around and above. The streets of New Orleans the music, the sounds I feel like I'm floating my feet off the ground. My senses are heighted I chant a sweet spell I walk with the knowledge great things will avail. So this New Orleans Lady in spirit and soul will carry this presence and watch for happiness to unfold... author...ME!!

So here's how it works: Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird or random things, facts, or habits about yourself. At the end, you choose at least 5 people to be tagged, listing their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says, "You're it!" on their profile and ask them to read your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you. 1. I am very tenderhearted and hate to say no. 2. I am still trying to figure out the next chapter in my life since being on my own. 3. I worry too much. 4. I don't like cold weather, food or drinks. 5. I love yellow and royal blue. 6. I love to help people and wish I had more time to do so. 7. I make a habit of a shower in the morning and a bath at night. 8. I love music of all kinds. 9. I don't like to shop. 10. I want more real, true blue friends.

I grew up with not much and I am so glad I did. It makes me the person I am today. Well, on with the memory...I was about 13 and my Mom told me to come to a county store, she had $50 dollars in free toys to get for my niece and nephew. She failed to tell me, she got the free toys for a purchase she and my Dad made...my new stereo system...well, when in the store, I was not interested in picking out toys but in the stereo systems...I wandered over lifted up the top of the one I thought was the bomb....inside.....saw my name beside the words SOLD....OMG, I was soooo excited I screamed and cried....it was a week before Christmas and Mom (being the person she was LMAO) said "well, DAMN....just go ahead and deliver the SOB."...I would have never asked for the stereo system...It was way too much...Thanks MOM and DAD!!!

People say, oh I could never do that!!! But when you meet cancer patients you understand the bravery and spirit those people show each and every day. Their struggles motivate and inspire you to test the limits of your endurance and to cross that finish line. You'll be surprised by what you can do... ~~John Kellenyi 8 time marathoner and leading fundraiser with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training..

~MY DEAR SWEET FRIEND, THE DOOR TO MY HEART IS OPEN, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME IN, THERE'S ROOM ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE AND YOU MAY COME AGAIN. THE DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN, NO ONE IS TURNED AWAY, FOR A HEART THAT NO ONE ENTERS, GROW LONELIER EACH DAY. FRIENDS FILL OUR HEARTS WITH LAUGHTER AND DRY THE BITTTER TEARS, AND OPEN HEARTS FORGE FRIENDSHIPS THAT LAST THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. A HEART THAT'S CLOSED TO OTHERS GROW HARDER THAN A STONE, AND THE PERSON WHO LIVES THERE IS DOOMED TO LIVE ALONE. IF YOU SLAM THE DOOR ON OTHERS, LIKE GLASS IT TOO WILL BREAK, BUT WITH FRIENDS THERE TO REPAIR IT, WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT CAN MAKE. LONELY HEARTS WILL ALWAYS WONDER HOW THINGS MIGHT HAVE BEEN, FOR THE DOOR TO MY HEART IS OPEN, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME IN.

You ever had a great feeling that something great was about to happen to you?? Well, I'm feeling it now....and I am so excited but don't even know why yet..I am getting a divorce, my job is going thru changes, I need a place to live, money is becoming a problem BUT I can feel something inside me rising....I am taking one step at a time knowing that the path I am walking is leading me to a great awakening and wonderful things to come. I am ready to reach out and grab what life is bringing to me. I won't say no or I don't have the funds or that doesn't seem right for me...I won't. I will do what is being laid in front of me and take the steps my heart is telling me to take...SOMETHING GOOD IS GOING TO HAPPEN...Muah!!

FUBAR is an acronym that commonly means "Fucked Up Beyond All Repair" or "Fucked Up Beyond Any Recognition"

Left with dreams, all in thought, Spirits and souls, like magnets drawn, Hopeful ideas of a waking dawn. Knowing not which way to burn, A new fire may be blazing, Take note, angels, the fury of it all is amazing. Dreams intertwine, Words that are spoken, Promises made no hearts will be broken. Of fate to be seen, Left now with broad smiles, a friendship, for sure, will cross many miles..
