Let's Talk About Sex Part 1
Some say that sex is overrated, but they just ain’t doin it right---Ludacris (Jamie Foxx "Unpredictable")

How many agree with Luda's verse?

The verse popped in my head while I was laying down in bed with my eyes closed, tv on, when I heard a woman say "well, sex is overrated anyway". My eyes shot open. I was stunned and appalled. Maybe because 2 hours before I just got dycked down(sorry if it's TMI) by my man and was still feeling the effects of having 3 orgasms; 2 which were back 2 back. Maybe she hasn't had anyone to put it on her right.

Sex can be beautiful! These days people have taken the beauty out of sex/lovemaking. For people who appreciate the beauty within and the power it holds, sex can't be overrated just celebrated!

Sex does play a significant part in a relationship but my opinion it shouldn't be the number one thing you look for in a relationship. A good physical relationship is good but I need to be loved beyond the physical. Let me stay on track about sex being overrated. I'll post about sex in relationships next post.

There's an "art" to sex called Tantric Sex. It's just slowing down and focusing on the physical, emotional, spiritual feelings one experiences during the act. It goes beyond the drum of today's sexual encounters and takes you to another level physically and mentally. There are books available. I've never tried it but heard it's like floating on cloud nine.

I started thinking about some things that I thought were overrated like 1)NBA Slam Dunk Contest(only b/c some of the best only competed once--Kobe and Vince. Back in the day MJ and Dominque Wilkens competed often making it exciting every year), 2)Starbucks, 3)Young Jeezy, but SEX isn't one of them!

Sex is an equal opportunity sport and it's what you and your partner make it!

**Note: If you are sexing it up remember to always make it safe! I'm out!

Back in da day
Playing in the background

**"People don't dance no more, all they do is dis. All they do is dis"---Goodie Mob**

Yesterday as I was going to pick up my child from daycare, I came upon about 7 rowdy kids standing on the corner. One girl's hair was all over her head. After stopping at the four way stop, I saw other girl walking back toward the group of kids on the corner yelling, "I'll beat your ass again". Since I haven't seen a real fight in awhile, I stayed at the corner. The girls preceded to fight and it was on! The girl who was yelling when I arrived got a beat down. It was a good fight.

You may asked why didn't I stop these girls from fighting. Well, I've learned the hard way you don't break up fights(especially not knowing the participants). If you do prepare to get catch a body shot. Plus years ago, my cousin was killed trying to break up a fight between her best friend and another girl. The girl pulled out a knife and stabbed her. Nope, I don't get into anyone else's mess.

I couldn't really tell how old these girls were because one girl's breasts and hips were bigger than mine. What's up with that? Growing up, girls around my way wasn't developing that fast. These 12 yr olds look like 18 yr old. I just read an article about a 14 yr old black girl who was missing. They found her body two days after she went missing but they thought the body was a woman in her 20s. My grandmother says it's in the food. *Note: Isn't it funny when we were growing up older folks told girls to watch out for manish boys, now boys are being told to watch out for these fast tail girls. Oh how time changes.

Before I got to the scene of the fight, I passed by a local high school boys track team running. These boys had grown men bodies. Why is this grown woman looking at these high school boys, you ask? I wasn't looking at them like that. Besides that's 10 to 15 years, I can't do jail. I wouldn't survive! I remember a male friend and I watching the McDonalds All-Star High School basketball game when Lebron James was a senior in high school. We were both taken aback how these boys looked like men not 17 & 18 yr old boys.

Ok back to the subject at hand.

The fight got me to thinking about the days when people use to fist fight. Now these negros pulling out guns. You can no longer stand and watch a fight. Bullets have no names. Now to many punks are willing to pull out the glock instead of throwing those hands. Remember in Friday when Ice Cube's character was getting ready to walk out with the gun and his father came into the room and told him all he needed were these . Put the guns down. We're killing ourselves!

**I'm no way encourgaging violence, but I rather see fists flying than bullets flying.**

OH MY....
I haven't watched anything on BET lately. But I was flipping through the channels late Friday night (actually Saturday morning since it was after midnight). All I have to say is "Uncut". I haven't watched "Uncut" since Nelly's "Tip Drill" video was fairly new and they constantly played the song "I Ain't Got No Panties On, On The Dance Floor"(yes this is the title). I see nothing has changed but the intro. Now they have a woman gyrating on a pole. After sitting and laughing at some of the bootleg videos, a commerical for The Game's dvd "Stop Snitching" comes across the screen. At the end is a close up of Game saying "stop snitching, that's not cool". At that moment I realized why I haven't tuned into BET--Black Entertainment Television!!! It's a joke!

There's not much I can say about "Uncut"; it is what it is. My opinion these videos wouldn't exist if the women wouldn't put themselves out there like that. Most of the blame falls on the women b/c they have a choice. Yes everyone in involved is to blame but mostly the women. Some of these videos have women gyrating all over each other. It's basically soft porn. Nelly's "Tip Drill" video has nothing on some of these videos.

Not that I got that off my chest, on to some pictures:


Kobe, Vanessa, and daughter, Natalie(Lakers game 1/22/06)


The little girl is adorable. Damn Kobe hit for 81 points! Hate him or love him, the boy got skills.



Chante Moore and hubby Kenny Latimore
They are such a cute couple. Chante is extremely underrated




TI and Tiny leaving Mr Chow's in London






Halle Berry and model of Versace

Has Halle dumped Micheal Ealy?





Brandy and daughter, Syrai (taken in 2004)

I like Brandy. Her last two albums were slept on. But I'm still mad she lied about being married. Girl, unmarried women have kids everyday





Sandra "Pepa" Denton of Salt & Pepa




Letoya Luckett, formely of Destiny's Child, cover shot for Sister 2 Sister


Ashanti
She performed at some ice skating competition




Love the boots





50 cent and Mase

Guess it's back to Murder Mase

I'm out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Situations

Wu-hoo!!! It's the weekend baby! It seem like the weekend was just here, but I'm not complaining. I have absolutely nothing plan. Maybe I go check out The Last Holiday since it's been getting good reviews. I hate wasting my money on some BS.

This true situation was discussed on one of the local radio stations. A gentleman called in about his problem. Him and his wife have been together for 12 years and married 8 years. They have 3 children--ages 14, 10, 5. He loves his kids dearly. The oldest son was admitted to the hospital b/c he was in need of blood. The father wanted to give his blood but the blood work came back negative--his blood didn't match. So he had a paternity test done. He found out the child wasn't his so he had a test done on the other two. Come to find out the other two kids aren't his either. He left his wife but went back home after 2 months b/c of the kids. After about a month of being back at home he left again. But now he's back at home only for the kids sake. He wanted to know should he stay and work it out for the sake of the kids or love the kids from a distance meaning divorcing his wife.

Personally, I wouldn't be able to trust my husband ever ever ever(infinite ever) again if he fathered a child outside of our marriage; let alone three kids. Let me take that back. If we aren't married, I'll see you around the way, bro. If we were married and he fathered one child, I'll try to make it work(more than one child, I'm out the door). But he would have to be totally, totally honest with me (is that possibly?)about why he cheated; did he love her or have feeling s for her or was it just sex and nothing more.. I would need him to answer every question I have for him. I think I'll be more hurt if he had feelings for her then if it was just sex. I believe in making a marriage work only if both people want to work it out. An older woman once gave me some advice. She said if you stay with a man/woman whose cheated on you amd you want to honestly make it work, you have to forgive him/her competely and totally trust him/her again. You can't constantly bring up what he/she did in the past.


My question to my fellow bloggers: would you try to make the marriage work if your spouse had a child outside of the marriage and why? Would you be able to trust that person again?

**Hope I'll never have to go through this shit!

MY BABY
I'm dedicating this post to my 10 month old son. When I learned I was pregnant, I cried for 3 weeks straight everyday. I was scared not of being pregnant but having to take care of another human being. I didn't know what type of mother I would be. Also I wasn't that thrill to be having a baby. As the months went by, I still wasn't all that excited. I was still crying but not as often. I knew I loved him but was afraid of developing postpartum depression b/c I wasn't jumping for joy.

I had a good pregnancy. I had no problems whatsoever. He moved constantly throughout my last trimester. To this day, he moves around alot in his sleep. He finally came into this world March 13, 2005. That was the day my life changed. The day I held him and knew I would love him unconditionally.

He has a very funny personality already. He loves to laugh. He's my heart and I love him so much.




This is O at about 3 months.



pics been removed*****

















At about 5 months


I really do need to get some up to date pictures scanned. He's standing now trying to walk. Plus I braid his hair now b/c he has so much. So I'll post some recent pics another time.

Pet Peeves!!!
Happy day after MLK Day! Since I wasn't able to post yesterday, so I'm going to post my thoughts the day after. We (black people) have come a long way and still have a long way to go. We need to continue to uplift each other, teach our youth about our history. Not only about MLK but about Alexander Mills(invented the elevator), John Burr(invented the lawn mower), Garret A Morgan(invented the traffic signals), Charles Brooks(invented the street sweeper), and the list goes on and on and on... I'm proud to be black! Say it with me and loud, "I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD"!!!

I was told by my man I have some weird pet peeves. Here are some of my pet peeves:

  1. Hair on the soap---that disguises me
  2. Chain and forward emails---God was blessing me before email!
  3. SPRINT
  4. Squeezing the toothpaste from the middle
  5. Left over toothpaste in the sink from brushing your teeth---that's nasty
  6. I hate for the toilet seat and lid to be up
  7. When you use a public restroom and there is a pee droplets on the seat---I always go to another stall
  8. An unmade bed---even if your bedroom is messy, making the bed will make the room look better
  9. Kids with nasty dirty noses
  10. When I'm talking on the phone with someone and that person is holding a conversation with someone else---and then wonder why I hang up
  11. When people slow down driving to look at an accident ,slowing down traffic even more
  12. People chewing with their mouths open
  13. People not cleaning up after themselves
  14. Leaving the ketchup, water jug, etc... on the counter instead of putting it back in the fridge
  15. Someone trying to loud talk me. I'm not a child!!!
  16. People who stare a hole through you
  17. Hair in the bathtub--this was a huge problem for me when I was living in a dorm during college--I'm gagging just thinking about it
  18. Grown ass kids
  19. Two cars parked side by side and the drivers are hanging out the window talking and can't nobody get by, then get mad if you blow your horn at them
  20. Tipping the waitress 15% or 20%. I'm sorry I can't tip you more than God! He only ask for 10%
  21. People standing over me trying to read whatever I'm reading
  22. I hate talking to "Muhammad" when I'm calling about my phone service
  23. Being on hold for more than 3 minutes(Sprint!)
  24. A messy kitchen
  25. People not using their turning signal
  26. Being poked on the shoulder
  27. People trying to get my attention by yelling "hey"---Hay is for horses.
  28. People kissing my baby---if the child isn't part of my family, I'm not kissing the baby
  29. People blowing their nose at the table
  30. People who don't have their ATM card ready when they pull up to the ATM even though two cars where in front of them

What are some of your pet peeves?

FRIDAY THE 13TH
Have yall seen the commerical for AMP'd mobile? A white guy is on the train. He points to a young white guy, tells him to start playing the guitar; the young white guy starts playing. Next he points to an older white man, tells him to start singing; man starts singing. Then he points to a thick black girl with a short, tight blue jean skirt on, tells her to shake her booty; she grabs the pole, starts during the "booty hop" at the same time looking over her shoulder... I couldn't believe it. But I guess with all the booty shaking in videos that's the way white America sees the black woman. Thanks BET!

I was going to do a post about tv programming but decided to put it off til next week. Paying for cable is a waste of hard earned money. But anyway......
My girl has send me so many crazy pics. I'll post some everyday.




Doesn't she look out of place with her outfit and purse? And check out the person with the curl bag on her head! I never understood wearing a bag on your head in the water. Water is still going to get inside the bag.
But once again, where did she think she was going?









She pulled her weave too far back behind her ear...Girl we can see your scalp!






I guess it's safe to assume he doesn't wash his ass









Why is she posing on the toilet?



I don't know what's worse, his outfit or him posing with his hands on his hips






TOO FUNNY!!!

A wonderful card to give:


Are you an A,B, C, D Woman? (I didn't write this; received in an email)

I'm the A woman. That is the hardest position to maintain. I'm the one he spends most his time with. The one he calls "his girl" to his friends. I'm the one he sleeps with and shares his thoughts with. I'm his chauffeur, loan lender, cheerleader, his "wifey". I'm the one that was good enough to meet his boys and the one he complains about the most.

She's the B woman. The one that's just a friend. He says, "...she's just like a sister to me."
She never ridicules him for the smoking, drinking, gambling or any of his other faults. The good, clean, wholesome one. The one he secretly wants to get with. She's the one to get the dick if she just said the word.

She's the C woman.The ex who coulda, shoulda, and woulda been... only if. She's the one who talks to him so good. The one who understands him. The one who did those things I won't do. The one who gives such great advice and helps him sort out problems I couldn't help him with. The one who sticks around just in case we don't work out. His ace in the hole. She's the one he wont refuse if she comes on to him. The one he kisses and touches but wont go all the way with. The one he would f*ck if it wasn't for me.

She's the D woman. I found her number in his pocket after the night he went to the show. You know, that night he called me when he usually doesn't. She's the one that he's only spoken to once or twice. The one with the phat booty and tig o biddiez. The potential freak.

Now he tells me just enough to cover the tracks he has, is, and will lay. So he can convince himself he's being honest with me. So I won't have reason to doubt him. He says, "Trust me, I'm not like most men." But I guess he fails to realize that I'm B, C, and D to someone else. Think about that...

HOLLA

First I just wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I feel much better today.


LADIES,
Would you love a toilet like this?!


Yes just what I need!!! (The tongue is suppose to be moving but I couldn't get it to post while moving, but yall get my drift!)

RANDOM PICS



" The once-stunning Grammy winner was photographed at an Atlanta gas station at 4 a.m. one morning last month, looking disheveled and bizarre in pajama bottoms, a $50,000 fur coat and a messy wig."

I hope Whit isn't back on that shit! Girl, I'm pulling for you but this pic right here is terrible. Get it together Whitney!

Whitney wins HAM of the Day award!!!!






Alicia Keys has motivated me for '06! Gone, girl with your "Janet" stomach

Now ladies, when wearing a sleeveless shirt remember to shave under your arms!

That's not cute



I want some birthday cake, Mary



The Marley Boys

This is a pic I took with Juelz Santana at the NBA All Star Game 03 in Atlanta. He is so sexy in person. He has the sexiest lips. This pic is for you Stephanie since I've been called a liar(and you know I dislike liars so I can't be one. That would mean I've have to dislike myself and I love all of me!)





I just want to end this post with some strong and deep words:

Whatever Happens, Happens for a Reason

The subject of this is so true....whatever happens, happens for a reason. There is great comfort when you learn to "accept what God allows"....

Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two :)

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world

8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

FUNKY MOOD
I'm in a very funky mood today. It seems like everything is going wrong in my life right now. But I know this too shall pass! Just asking for yall prayers.

Since I'm in a funky mood, I'm list some things I hate that people do:

  1. What's up with these walkie-talkie cell phones. I don't want to hear your conversation. Last week I was in WalMart. This dude was talking on his walkie-talkie phone. I made it obvious I was listening to every word. Apparently, he didn't appreciated it so he said in a pissed off tone, "girl I'll call you back after I leave Walmart". That's what you should have done in the first damn place. I want to punch the person in the nose for coming up with that bright idea.
  2. People riding on my bumper especially in rush hour traffic. Monday after work I was in the fast lane but it wasn't going too fast. This woman behind me was really riding my bumper. Since I couldn't yell at her, I got on my brakes to let her know don't ride so close to me. If you're in that big of a hurry, you should have left yesterday! I once saw a bumper sticker that read, "If you're not a hemorrhoid, then get off my ass"! Love it
  3. Senior citizens drivers. No disrespect! Their should be a law when a person can no longer drive. True story. I was in Walgreens, two people in front of me. An older woman with a walker was checking out. I'm thinking I know she isn't driving. After I check out, I seen the woman with the walker behind the wheel of a Cadillac backing out. I couldn't believe this woman with a walker was driving. Just my luck I ended up behind her. OMG It seemed like everything around me was in fast forward mode. Bless her heart. That's when I thought it should be some law.
  4. I don't claim to be the most beautiful person in the world, but some men should know their place. Some men have no shame! If I wasn't interested the first time, I'm not going to be interested 15 minutes later when you come at me again.
  5. Nosey people. I was on the phone and clicked over. I told the other person "I'll call you back b/c I'm on the other end". She said, "who you talking to". WTF "None of your damn business". CLICK
  6. People who repeat the same thing after you just said. This man at my place of employment does it and it irriates the hell out of me. I'll say, "the boss is looking for you". He say, "the boss is looking for me". Damn didn't I just say that.

    I said I was going to post some HAM pics but just don't feel like it today even though I need a laugh. But to get start here's a pic:





WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON?!

I'll post more tomorrow.


Holla

Too tired to blog
Whew...I had a nice time at my friend girl's birthday party. It was a nice size crowd--not to crowded and enough people to get your party on. Her sister was the bartender and she wasn't playing. You had to take a shot of tequila before you could get some punch(yall know the punch with liquor that'll sneak up on ya). I wish I had a camera on me. This dude kept coming up to me talking about my name's Casino. After about the 4th time I was like dude I know you're name is Casino, can't forget a name like that. He was a HAM. He had a slick back curl and wore shades all night long. Got on my damn nerves!

I don't have much to say. I'm a little tired today because my child has an ear infection and he hasn't been sleeping good at night. So of course I was up at 3am trying to calm him down. He finally went back to sleep at about 4am but was tossing and turning the rest of the night.

I'll post some H.A.M pics tomorrow. Holla

TGIF
**Johnny Kemp's "Just Got Paid" playing in the background**
Just got paid,
Friday night Party hoppin’,
feelin right Booties shakin’,

Pump that jam, while I’m gettin’ down
I used to love that song! Today is payday but I won't be party hoppin' tonight. Tomorrow one of my homegirls is having her 26th birthday party at Holiday Inn Select. She rented two connecting suites. Free food and drinks all night long! It's a $25 charge if you plan on staying overnight. She had the nerve asking me was I staying overnight. What the hell for? I live maybe 3 blocks from the hotel. I'm not paying $25 to lay my head down for a couple of hours when my place is up the block, around the corner to the right. Shit I just payed rent! If I'm that messed up, I'll walk my happy go lucky ass home.
Yesterday I started posting pics of celebs and their kids til blogger started acting up. Here's the rest of them:

Faith Evans & Family


Rodney & Holly Robinson-Peete and family

Lil Mo(Did yall check out her kids names?)

Lela Rochon & kids
T-boz & daughter, Chase

5 Random Things About Me
1) I'm the middle child. I have a sister who's five years older and a brother who's 7 years younger than me. My brother still get away with things I can't. My sister has two bad ass boys (my nephew)ages 11 and 8. My child loves to be around them especially the 8 yr old.

2) I'm a huge football and basketball fan. I just don't watch for the men, I know and understand the game. Ask me anything and I'm sure I'll give the correct answer. I can be in the presence of men and they may ask something about the game and I'll answer. I always get a puzzled looked like "what you know about sports". And yes I did watch the Rose Bowl last night. I was rooting for the Longhorns. But I'm a die hard Razorback fan!!! LOL

3) I'm an avid reader. Love reading anything from fiction, nonfiction, autobiographies, etc... I'm currently reading Genevieve by Eric Jerome Dickey, one of my favorite authors.

4) I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems and currently not working in my field. I wonder what the percentage is for people not working in their degree field. I've never work in my field of study. Every job wants experience. But damn, if noone hires me I can't get the experience. But I'm going back to school this summer to get my Master's. Maybe it'll work out then.

5) I had a beautiful son in March. I was scared shitless because I wasn't ready to be a mother (how many are ready?). I cried for weeks when I found out I was pregnant. But I felt God brought my son in my life for a reason and now I'm beginning to know why. He's my life. When I'm sad I just look at him. Ok now let me stop I'm getting teary eyed!

Ok on to some pictures!!!



Nicole Murphy(Eddie Murphy's ex-wife)

Men, can't live with them and you can't shoot their a$$es...
Whew... My boyfriend has pissed my off. I'm the type of person who likes to knock out two birds with one stone meaning completing two tasks with one action. Our child needed some diapers. He only had one left in his diaper bag. After dropping me off at work, I'm thinking my boyfriend is going to get the diapers before dropping our son off at daycare. Boy was I wrong. Now if I was getting the diapers, I would have stopped at the store which is maybe two/three miles away from the daycare. Then dropped the baby off at daycare then proceeded to do what I had to do. Not my boyfriend. He drops the baby off first then goes home (daycare is about 7 minutes from our house) to pack because he's going to St Louis. About hour and a half later the daycare calls saying "you know O only has one diaper". So I call my boyfriend asking him why he didn't get the diapers. He said he's going to get them but went home to pack first. WTF!!! Why not stop at the store on your way to the daycare. Knocking two birds out with one stone. Now he's at home, got to go to the store, then drive 7 minutes to the daycare center then drive 7 minutes back home. And he's always complaining "didn't I just fill the car up, ain't no gas in the car". Shit b/c of stuff like this. All that extra driving for nothing.

This is an everyday thing. We've argued numerous times about things like this. We'll continue to argue b/c he won't change; it's been going on now for three years. It irratates the hell out of me! If I can do multiple things in less time, I'll will. That's one of our main differences.

Now it's 11:15, three hours and 15 minutes since I've been at work. He calls me saying he's at my cousin house. I asked about the diapers. "Oh, I'm about to do that now". No you not, you're at my cousin's house. That's other thing, he does something else when he needs to be doing something entirely different.

Urgh.......MEN!!!!

I posted a pic yesterday of Mariah. N Search of XTC made a comment she looks chunky which I agree. I said I was going to find a pic of her back in the day. This is for you N Search....


Lil Kim and Mariah at Kim's B-Day in 1996

I'm not going to comment on Kim. I'll give Mariah the benefit of the doubt...it was ten years ago. I think she looks better with some weight on her. But what a difference!



Monica gave her boyfriend, Rock, a party at Body Tap (strip club) in ATL. I've never been to the strip club with my boyfriend but I'll probably be up too it (no homo). Oh yeah thanks for the pics Renay!

I'm Just Saying....
Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful New Year!!!!

Now on to my post...


A couple of my friends were discussing the shooting of the man by the police officers in New Orleans (happened last Monday). I believe the popo could have handled the situation without killing the man. You mean to tell me 12 heavily armed officers couldn't shoot him in the knee? He had a damn 3 inch knife. But the popo said they felt threatned. Now if I had a glock and the other person was waving a knife at me, who you think is more threatned?! As my boyfriend says "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight"! Then again the man didn't exercise good judgement. Every black person especially black male should know you don't go wielding a knife at the police. That's all the popo need to shoot/kill your ass. Actually you could just be heading home. Remember Ahemd Diallo. Back to the subject at hand. I won't be protesting or anything; it is what it is. I'm just saying....


Speaking of protesting(well actually he's not protesting yet), Al Sharpton is calling for an independent investigation into the death of the New Orleans man. According to Sharpton,“It is impossible to comprehend how the man was not subdued even though he carried a knife, and police officers should have their training reevaluated if they can't avoid a tragedy of this size. I agree with the statement. But then again he's a black man weilding a knife at the police. Al needs to be protesting everyone who's told him over the years to keep that perm in his head! I'm just saying...

Nelly could get it anytime, anyplace. I'm just saying... LOL

Random New Year's Eve pics my girl Renay found:





Sexy!!!










Tasia looks tired!







Not feeling the hair, Shawn
Nice looking couple







This isn't a New Year's Eve pic, but...


My cousin sent me this next pic b/c the shirt Kelly is wearing she wanted it but it was way expensive. When I look at pics, I check out the background. Old girl in the back with the midriff is wrong for that.




Now I have a little pug from being pregnant. Maybe I'm a little insecure b/c I won't dare go out the house with a midruff on for someone to snap a pic and have my pug stomach on the internet. OMG is that a pregnant line going down her stomach!

I'm out!!!
