Rodney Pinkney would let absolutely nothing get in his way of asking Miss Tasha Jenkinsto the school dance. Not even the huge volcano of a pimple sitting right by his nose!
Moral of the story. In 2010 let absolutely nothing and nobody keep you from doing
what is in your heart to do. Man up and go for it!!!!! I'm cheering you on he he he he!!
My thoughts exactly, Vanessa! 2010 is going to be a great year for everyone!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and yours! :)

ReplyDeleteVanessa, with you cheering me on, I can conquer the world!!! (in my high heels, fishnets and can-can petticoat, of course! LOL!!)
ReplyDeleteToday is my first *Art Day* since the surgery and I am so excited I don't know if I will get out of the PJs......or just go start slopping gel medium and paint and cutting papers! (yeah, I am the consummate sex-goddess at the moment....NOT!!!)
