LOVE your plans!! Well if EVER in DC look me up! I would LOVE to hang out with you and take you to a poetry event :-) You remember Jason? You know he is in the area and I FINALLY met him in person. In fact we have pics on my FB page...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISSY!!!!!!!! *throws confetti and glitter* I hope you are enjoying today and I wish you many more to come! Blessings!
Now here you go inspiring me to compile a list as well! I hope I can get my laptop working later because I need time to think lol. Hookah is awesome, girls vacays are great, passport stamps are fun to talk about. I skimmed this list yesterday and have been waiting for 30 years to take a vacay with the man I love...I guess this patience is a virtue thing comes into play now? Anywho, it's ya' birthday!!! Have a drink for me!
Happy belated Birthday. Just got my computer back up or i would have been on time.
Love your list, can't take life for granted. Make that trip with mother and grandmother a must have. I understand not visiting your father resting place just yet. I haven't visited my mother's either. I know she understands... I hope your Birthday was a wet one, if not, there's still the weekend! :)
Love and peace
