I have imported my blog posts from the days of Multiply and I also post my writings from my Weight Watchers blog. I hope to inspire someone and I hope to continually inspire myself. I welcome your comments. Excuse the language in the older posts, I have evolved....some, LOL.
The theme to your senior prom? Mine was After All, by Al Jarreau. It was special because it was the first theme song in the history of my school (since the late 1960's) by an artist of color.
My prom was in May of 1986 and though this is obviously not my prom picture, it is from the same year. Some of you have seen that picture and I'll post it when I get home. Until then, laughs are on me.
One of my favorite pasttimes is watching old movies. I don't do it nearly enough, but I enjoy them (although it's heartbreaking at times to see what roles we were only allowed to have).
Here are a few of my favorites. If you have any to add, please do. I'll be looking for them!
Imitation of Life (1959 version...I also like the 30's version)
A Cabin in the Sky-1943
Carmen Jones-1954

The FDA will brief reporters at 12 noon EST on the final risk assessment on animal clones.
FDA officials were unavailable to provide details on the proposed rule. But The Washington Post reported late on Monday that the agency made a final ruling in line with an earlier, interim decision, finding food from cloned cattle, pigs, and goats was safe to eat.
The agency said it did not have enough information to make the same assertion about cloned sheep, the report said.
The cloning industry expects that it will be the offspring of cloned animals, not the costly clones themselves, that would eventually provide meat or milk to U.S. consumers.
There are currently about 570 cloned animals in the United States, but the livestock industry has so far followed a voluntary ban on marketing food from the animals.
While the science appears to have come down on the side of the cloning industry, the technology remains controversial, even within the agriculture industry.
Some dairy firms oppose cloning, betting that consumers will shun goods they see linked to cloning technology. Others believe that more investigation is needed to conclude cloning is safe.
Last week, the European Food Safety Authority made an interim ruling about food from cloned animals and their offspring, saying it was unlikely there was any difference from food derived from traditionally bred animals.

And so I am!
Here are some funny commercial's I found on YouTube. Comment, add your own or just watch and enjoy these!
What are you looking at?
You!
Why?
That is NOT what the song says!
What do they say then?
Oh.
I got it honestly though because my mom will tear up some lyrics and when you correct her, she'll just say "I like my version better!" LOL
It wasn't until a couple of months ago (go ahead, get your laugh on) that I figured out Janet was saying
Soap opera says and not So Barbara says in What Have You Done For Me Lately. I just assumed Barbara was one of her friends, lol.
When I first heard Alicia's new cd, I thought she was singing about a Breakfast kinda love, not a Wreckless one.
On Holla Back Girl, I thought Gwen was saying "Eat bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S". It was only after we were talking in one of my Yahoo groups that I found she was saying "This shit is bananas". What did I know? I only heard it on the radio and they bleeped out shit!
The earliest song I remember jacking up was the Bee Gees How Deep is Your Love, when they say OOOOOO you n me girl...I thought they were saying OOOOOOO you ni**ger. Hey, I was in grade school!
What lyrics have you misheard? There's a whole website dedicated to misheard lyrics, so I know I'm not the only one! LOL
Are you a Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime?
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON . . .
It is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty,
to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are!
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part,
or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something
to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met,
our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered.
And now it is time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON
it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it! It is real!
But, only for a Season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
Things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use
in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life.
