I resolve to live it up!
It can be pretty profound hearing about “untimely” deaths and seeing really tragic events take place right at the end of the year. I’m normally pensive and reflective as it is, but when I take a moment to consider how life really is a journey, I begin to think about making the journey more meaningful.
Life is short. Life is beautiful. Life is precious. If anything this past year has taught me, its that you can plan all you want but sometimes you have to just enjoy life as it comes.
I resolve to focus less on what is missing because it takes away from appreciating what’s not missing.
I have a propensity to plan everything and I try to take small, calculated risks (Exciting, I know, it’s how I roll!) Throwing caution to the wind can actually be a fun thing (within reason?), so I would love to see what happens when I try it.
I can only make one dating resolution that I know has a high success rate: Have fun. That’s it. What about you? Do you think making resolutions work?
What does the new year make you think about?

Question is ‘Name something a man wears around the house that he would not wear in public?’ The little girl said ‘condoms’. LOL
Now yall know this show is hosted by Steve Harvey so with answers like the ones some of these folks give he have a field day with it. They seem to have less rounds than some of the older FF shows giving the answer higher points. I bet that is because they allow him to make jokes with some of the answers given.
This one I watched this lady was a choir director. I went almost a full minute acting out choir directing.

Having you ever been moisturizing your super smooth newly waxed legs and turned yourself on? LOL
When that happens I find the hub and ask him if he would like to finish what I started. Well that is since I have been married. Before then…nevermind.
