#TRUTHIS AIN'T NUTTIN LIKE SOME GOOD OLE MUSIC

It is rare that I will give the absolutely LOVE stamp but ADELE's 21 is absolutely lovable.  She captures the essence of every broken-hearted girl with her melodic voice and bluesy lyrics.  I mean every song on the album gets played and we know you can only usually get about about 5 to 7 these days with the rest being skipped.  My favorites are "Rolling in the Deep",  "Turning Tables", "Set Fire to the Rain" and "Someone Like You" which made me cry the first time I heard it.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.   She is amazing.......


Check out her single "Rolling in the Deep"

Then there was LUPE.................

My cousin Niki posted this track on my page the other day.  I love me some Lupe Fiasco so F what the haters have to say.  "The Show Goes On" really symbolizes how I feel at this moment because I am seriously on my own MFKIN page these days.  Riding with the ones who would ride with me in a bucket or a Bentley.  Also I am living all the way out of the box.  You come across so many people in this life and so many obstacles but you still have to keep rocking out cuz THE SHOW GOES ON.   The world is truly ours so get out there and start snatching up your dreams.  No one really knows the things I battle with in my mind but I never stop working and striving to make these better.   TO ALL MY TIKC FAM,  keep doing the same because work combined with prayer always equals AMAZING RESULTS!  

AND HERE IS THE SHOW GOES ON........

Do you hear what I hear?

TIKC!!! What it do?!

In spite of a pulled muscle, two kids with the flu and a little bit of time wasted- I am good to go! 

KAPRIL

Do you hear that?  Sounds like bells...
#TRUTHIS I've got some news…Another good man is “off the market”.  My brother, Kenny got engaged to his girlfriend, April on Friday night.  It was her birthday- check.  Magic in the air (Magician)-check. Dinner with close friends-check.  Beautiful ring-check. Absolute surprise-check.

I would say, April is a lucky girl, lol, but it goes both ways. They really do complement each other extremely well. Congratulations to the two of them!  I love them both and hope that they are very happy together, foreva- eva!  You gotta love, LOVE.  They are definitely KRAZYCOOL! 

The ROYAL wedding will be in 2012! ;)

Ray! I love his little toothless self!

#TRUTHIS RANDOM  I really want to get back to New Orleans.  It has been to long to even name, but it is truly time! Speaking of LOVE, I love The Princess and The Frog movie and could watch it 100 times with my divas.  That movie is just the cutest.  And didn't y'all just LOVE Ray? He's my favorite ;) Anyway, I gotta get there in 2011.  I want some of that cajun FOOD..YES and cajun FUN!  I got a box of beignets from Cafe Du Monde, but I think I need the ambiance to go with it! ;) It would be nice to spend some time there to see the progress that has been made. And Carrie, your photos and updates just made the yearning that much greater!! :)
Mmmm...I may have to make some gumbo for dinner tonight.

Suicidal birds and Green pigs.

 So, ANGRY BIRDS…. Do y’all play this thing?  Apparently I am extra late to the party, but this is one crazy app.  My girlfriend turned me on to it this weekend and I swear, once you get to level 19, YOU become the angry bird!!  Haha  (I am obviously stuck on that level).  Who the heck comes up with these crazy mindless games?  Why is it called Angry Birds? Why are the birds chilling just waiting to commit suicide by being hurled at wood and concrete? And why are the pigs green?!! Quite addictive, nonetheless.  

#TRUTHIS why is there a game called Potty Racers?  *Not Kidding* Seriously, you turn over a “Johnny on the Spot", it instantly gets wheels, and you race it like a wheel barrel!  How do I know about this, you ask?  Because my little diva “accidentally” added it to my phone…for .99 damn cents!!! And since it is paid for- it stays!!

Mama Drama

#TRUTHIS I hit a spot in the cut this weekend, where the DJ thought that he was simply DJing in his basement.  I kinda liked that. I heard ish from Journey, to Master P, which got me thinking…what the hell ever happened to MIA X?  She had things on lock for a minute, as far as I was concerned!  Hmmm, I did a little research.  Seems as though Mama Mia is making a comeback.  The sudden loss of her parents in '99, played a large part in her departure from the rap game.  She has had to overcome personal tragedies, trials and tribulations. But, she is back! She is working on a mixtape and a new album called Betty Rocka Locksmith due out this year.  She also has started her own label Musiclife Recordings/XL Productionz!  Here's to hoping for the fire that she used to spit!  I have no doubt she will bring it. nah-nah-nah-na…..

#TRUTHIS STL LOVE  Nelly will be on VH1s Behind the Music next month!! Word is that he will be talking about some of his personal struggles, the death of his sister, and of course his boo, Ms. Ashanti! Always got love for the homey...even when he ain't on top....  Um, speaking of not being on top-Where is Chingy?

#TRUTHIS The time is now! LIVE YOUR LIFE.  Get out there and live, folks!  Stop being a spectator and be a participator. Each moment that passes is a moment that we can’t ever get back. I say going forward, choose happiness! That doesn’t mean, FUCK everyone and everything else.  It simply means that you can’t please everyone no matter what you do and you can’t change the past. Experience is the best teacher, so embrace what's behind you and keep moving.  It means the present and future is what you have in your control, so why not choose to be happy.  Let go of the regrets, mistakes, ill feelings and move forward with a lighter load and determined step.  Forgive and stay focused, though, because it is easy to stumble. Someone once told me “Happiness is different for everyone and changes at various times.  It is an eternal search…”  I get it, but what a sad thought... I don't quite see it as an eternal search.  It's an everchanging variable that you have much control over.

#TRUTHIS Everything is as it should be. If you put it in the universe, the universe WILL hear your calls.  GOD is in control. Be patient and be open to it.  #HAVE FAITH

Ok, one more of the love bugs.  Couldn't resist.

THEY DID THAT.....

#TRUTHIS EGYPT DID THAT.  They have sparked a fire around the world for people to stand up to injustice in their nation's government.  Also it showed how the Egyptians' protest out of frustration opened up their pathway to freedom.  I felt overwhelmed as I heard the Egyptians chanting "Egypt is Free".  Now Libya has taken note and others in countries such as Iran have started their own movements for democracy and freedom.  Egypt became the modern day example that we needed to stand up against government by using the voice of their people.  THEY DID THAT!

#TRUTHIS LYRALOVESTAR DID THAT.  My girl Crystal Streets, star of Oxygen's House of Glam, premiered her jewelry line this week at New York Fashion Week.  She is getting amazing reviews so far with her unique costume jewelry line inspired by her cutie pie daughter, Lyra, and her love of the celestial sky.  Oh yes, my friend is a Pisces dreamer and I love it.  Her creativity is unmatched so I know this project will eventually be even bigger than she has dreamed.  The jewelry line retails in between $75 and $300. Soon you will see Lyra Lovestar in the cases of Bergdoff Goodman but for now, you can check it out on her website (lyralovestar.com) Click here: www.lyralovestar.com  

#TRUTHIS CAMERON DIAZ DID THAT.  Cameron has copped the fine Yankees' ball player, Alex Rodriguez.   He is hella fine and sprung on some Cameron. Diaz and A-Rod have been flashing their hot bodies on beaches around the world.  She was caught feeding him popcorn in the VIP box of the Super Bowl and is proudly yelling "WE ARE IN LOVE" Diaz may have lost her buddy, Kate Hudson, in the process but Cameron said "It is not like they were besties."  #HOLLYWOOD

#TRUTHIS JENNIFER HUDSON DID THAT. She is proudly rocking her size 6 body after losing 80 pounds.  Also she is the shining spokeswoman for the Weight Watchers Points Plus program and the mother of the cutest lil chunk.  On Grammy night, Ms. Hudson was a part of the Aretha Franklin's tribute and you know she killed it.  Viewers voted the performance as a favorite for the night. Jennifer was also recently on Oprah saying that she has motivated her family to lose over 1000 pounds in total.  J-Hud is a great example of the power of God because the way she has positively overcome the tragic death of her mother, nephew, and brother is extremely commendable.  Be on the lookout for her upcoming biopic where she plays Winnie Mandela as well.  Keep doin it J Hud….

#TRUTHIS MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS DID THAT.  My firstborn baby, Seattle, just got her learner's permit so the streets are no longer safe.  On top of this milestone, I am so proud of who she has become as a person.  I swear she is my future LOVEQUEEN. Of course, Cecile also informed me that when she visits me in DC now, she will drive.  OH GOSH!   My brown baby, AJA, got a feature article in the Philadelphia Inquirer for leading her team to the finals championship and being the MVP. I can't tell you how proud she makes me and I love that she is truly coming into her own.  My nephew/godson Likey killed it at Madison Square Garden and their team became champions as well.  He is a wonderful young man who is as smart as he is athletic. My pooh, Nya, is doing her thing.  She wrote a book that is up for a championship in a statewide competition.  I love my phat cheeks so much.  And my babyboy Liso is holding it down in NYC conducting Thomas the Train.  I LOVE MY BABIES.

NOT A TAXI CAB CONFESSION BUT A LOVEQUEEN BLESSING!

Yesterday morning I was traveling to my conference and didn't feel like driving so I decided to hop in a cab. I passed on the first younger and surprisingly cute cab driver because of his lack of a credit card machine. Only about 8 dollars in my pocket I was unsure if that was enough for me to make it to the hotel where the conference was being held. However after he left, the bitter chill in the wind made me quickly regret that decision. Then the sea of cabs turned into only one that seemed to be stuck at the nearby traffic light forever.  I quickly flagged him down and asked "Do you have a credit card machine?" An elderly chocolate man was in the driver's seat and shook his head "No".  I told him "Well I've got 8 dollars sir, do u think it will get me there?" and he said "Hop on in."  Finally I was warm and on my way....Yesssss!

At first, I thought I would zone out and eat my breakfast.  He asked me "Was I having coffee?" and then we fell into some back and forth convo about McD's coffee versus 3 dollar Starbucks. Also how he went to McD's to get coffee because it only costs 50 cent with him being a senior citizen.  I was half listening until he started telling me about his journey from South Carolina to DC.  The driver told me he was from Columbia, SC which is nearby my mother's hometown of Lancaster, SC.  He said "I've been in DC for 53 years and I married my wife that long ago too. You know I thank God everyday for my wife, she's my biggest blessing".  He sounded so cute and it made me laugh but I also felt every bit of the sincerity in his southern drawl. It even made me say "Oh I know that's right and trust me I'm waiting on mine." In his charming tone, the driver told me. "Don't worry babygirl, he is coming but you have to believe God." I could help but to think "Yes I know believing in God and having faith in what I have yet to see is what will bring me what I desire."  He passionately informed me, "God takes you through but he will always bring you out."

On a day when my heart was still fresh from the beating of my v-day blues, this conversation with a stranger began to change something in me.  He said "There are some mean people out here but I don't believe they were born that way just taught to be that way or life made em that way but don't you stop smiling cuz some people aint right."   His words definitely brought a smile to my face and suddenly I became possessed by my own strength.  It was like he was a needed reminder that I must always trust God no matter what and just when you need one an angel appears.  The traffic got heavy and I noticed the meter was almost to 8.  I paused our convo to say "I hope we make it" and he quickly responded "We will make it and if not then I'll only charge you 8, don't worry."

After I thanked him, I jokingly asked him to pray for me and my good man so I could be in love like him and his wife. Do you know he started the prayer right then and there? "God please bring this nice young lady a good Christian husband who will love and cherish her."  I don't know why but in that moment I feel like everything he said was true.  When we pulled up to the hotel and the meter read $7.75.  He looked back at me in his clear brown ish 80's frames and black knit pullover hat slightly cocked to the side then said "I told you we would make it. Have faith Ms. Lady." I laughed and apologized for not being able to give him a deserving tip. He said "Even a little bit is something special." I told him that I would pray for him because he was truly a blessing. As I began to exit the cab, he asked my name and said "Cristi, I will pray for you just the same but do your part and keep believing."

After I got out the cab I felt like my whole day had been touched by one of God's angels.

VALENTINE'S DAY THOUGHTS FROM A LOVEQUEEN!

#TRUTHIS It is VALENTINE'S DAY or in some cases "YOU KNOW YOUR ASS IS SINGLE" day.

#TRUTHIS Thirty-Six million boxes of heart shaped chocolates will be sold this year. #randomfact

#TRUTHIS Love is the greatest gift you can ever give or receive.  The word is so powerful and carries so much feeling in it but nothing compares to the actions used to prove it.   

#TRUTHIS I woke up this morning knowing that I didn't have a Valentine but I couldn't help but wonder if anyone would think of me or if I would feel loved.   As I opened my door to head off to work I looked down and saw a red & white bag wedged in between my door.  At first, I thought this can't be for me and then I saw my name on the envelope.  It was my favorite candy…GUMMI BEARS with a beautiful card from my best friend that read "My life is much sweeter with you in it."  There was also 10 dollars in the card and a handwritten note that said "I appreciate you. Have a great day & lunch on me." Seriously that was all I needed to make my day because believe it or not, it really doesn't take much to make me smile.

#TRUTHIS V-day is less about whether or not you are in a relationship and more about celebrating all the love you have in your life. It is the love from your friends, your children, your family, your co-workers, and even a stranger that can create tremendous happiness.  Love is all around you in so many different capacities and neither is less than or greater than the other...REMEMBER THAT! 

#TRUTHIS I thought about the love of my life about 2 times today and not once did any of those feelings drive me to pick up the phone or shoot him an email.  Instead they brought me a feeling of overwhelming joy and contentment that I was in a better place and open for a greater love.  I have nothing but forgiveness in my heart.  The chapter is over and my story goes on.   

#TRUTHIS Two of my most favorite love songs are Luther Vandross' "SO AMAZING" and Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell's "YOUR PRECIOUS LOVE".  I'm an old school LOVEQUEEN and music like this doesn't just play in your ears but it touches your soul.  We can all relate to the feeling of being in love and when you hear Luther say "It's so amazing to be loved, I'd follow you to the moon and the sky above."  Or when Tammi and Marvin sang "There is no looking back for us, we got love and sure nuf, that's enough!"  Those lyrics can always take you back to a time in your life when you once felt that way or bring thoughts of the person who currently makes you feel that way.

#TRUTHIS LOVEQUEEN'S ODE TO LOVE - I promise to love you just as you love me.  I promise not to settle for less than you at your best. I promise to share my completeness with you and not look for you to complete me.  I promise to focus more on the places where you exist and less on the places you have yet to arrive. I promise to love you in good or bad times. I promise to see you in everything I do and everyone who comes into my life. I promise to never give up on you. Most importantly, I promise to always share you with others.  

#TRUTHIS LOVE DOESN'T HAVE CONDITIONS AND WHEN IN LOVE MAKE SURE YOU ARE LOVED JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!

#TRUTHIS I AM REALLY HOPING MY NEXT LOVE LOOKS JUST LIKE THIS: 

LOVEQUEEN AND THIS PIECE OF CANDY WOULD MAKE A SWEET COUPLE....DON'T YA THINK?

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL THE FANS OF TRUTH IS KRAZY COOL......WE LOVE YOU!

Nothing But The Sho Nuff

What Up, TIKC?! Congratulations to the Superbowl champs, THE GREEN BAY PACKERS! I was personally rooting for THE STEELERS, but honestly I didn't really care.  I am just hoping that now that it is over, I no longer have to hear the "black and yellow' song ever ever again. Good riddance!

 UPDATE:  #TRUTHIS Anderson Cooper has finally taken that damn imaginary cape off and decided to come back to the US.  He announced on his twitter page “it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to leave Egypt. CNN continues to have many teams in place. It was a hard decision to leave.”  I’m sure it was. You’re job ain’t worth your life, homey.  Glad someone got through to him.

Mary and Steve. Happier times...THEN.

#TRUTHIS… Apparently Mary Harvey didn't pay much attention to Steve Harvey's books.  She probably laughed her azz off at the thought of him even writing relationship books....By now we have all heard about (or seen) the rants done by Mary Harvey on YouTube about how wrong he did her.  Seriously, she has GOT to be feeling all kinds of crazy now that the judge has declared that her accusations against her ex-husband, Steve Harvey were false!  This is just a mess, Ms. Mary (and where was her stylist).

Basically, here is what was determined:

#1 Mary Harvey was not left broke or destitute by Mr. Harvey after their divorce in 2005.  She was paid $40,000/month until March 2009 and then paid a lump sum of $1.5 million;

 #2 Mary Harvey was not left homeless after her divorce from Mr. Harvey in 2005.  She was awarded three (3) homes in their property settlement

#3 Mr. Harvey is the primary custodian of their 13 year old son, whom Mary Harvey willingly put on an airplane to his father.  Mary Harvey sent him to his father without Mr. Harvey's knowledge

#4 The 2005 divorce of Steve and Mary Harvey was granted on the grounds of irreconcilable differences and his current wife was not named in the original divorce proceeding nor was she the cause of the marital break-up.



Steve and Marjorie. Happy times. Now.

This is really very sad….(Although Justice Thomas’ wife calling Anita unteem years later is still about as pathetic as it gets.) I'm not saying that he was perfect, but noone deserves to be slandered.  Y'all know I can't stand lies.

She has to let go of all of this malice.  She KNEW of the consequences and repercussions that would follow if she broke the court order to  discuss their relationship in the media and SHE DID IT ANYWAY!!  Now, that is some bitterness.

Being hurt and desperate can lead us all to do some deranged deeds, indeed.  But, 3 years later, some of that pain should have subsided.  I'm sure that she still cares deeply for that man, but what about herself, her dignity, her integrity? Can a therapist please step in NOW?  LET.HIM.GO, Ms. Mary!  And don’t look back.  You are only blocking your future blessings.  And putting your son in a hot ass mess of a situation.  Oh, and PS- Ms. Marjorie ain't having NONE of that bs...ya heard?!



Check out the video promo. HAWT!

 Ahhh the guilty pleasures... #TRUTHIS We all know “Confessions of a Video Vixen”.  Ladies, I think we ALL read that book…I know I did!  I read that sucka in two days!! Lol  Well get ready for the juicyness again... 6 years later, Ms. Karrine “Superhead” Steffans is at it again and has written another book! This one is called “Satisfaction” and is being advertised as a guide to couples wanting a little more SATISFACTION in the bedroom!  Can’t hurt to pick this one up too! ;)  Apparently this time, she is not mentioning any names or describing her sexual escapades with celebs.  She calls this one faction (a little fact & a little fiction). Mnnnnhmmm...okay Ms. Steffans.  ... Sounds a little like ZANE...and who doesn't love some ZANE? ;)  Not that the two should ever be in the same catergory, of course, but I'm just saying.  Satisfaction is set for release in August... Did ya get that? ;)

*WARNING* #TRUTHIS I’m going to put a warning on this one because it is a little graphic.  Did y’all hear about the man in Louisville, Kentucky that was hiding crack in the foreskin of his penis!! *DO I LOOK LIKE I AM PLAYING WITH YOU???*  Seriously, dude?  It clearly is not a game!  What the hell?! This is not only nasty, but painful and hella SAD.    Is crack thaaaat good?!  Y’all please don’t answer that… His poor mama, daddy, kids…family.  #IJS.  Pray for him. #TRUTHIS Imma skip the pics on this one.  I think the visual is MORE than enough! Damn dude.

#TRUTHhurts I stayed true to myself this past week and lost a most loyal fan in the process. ;(  It's no fun getting hurt nor having to hurt. Good people are not everywhere, which makes it even more difficult. But in the end, you know when you are on two different pages. I say always keep it 100 and I expect the same.  I have to admit that for a moment, I felt really bad upon reflection for just how brutal my honesty was.  I might need to work on that. And maybe one day, I'll regret it. But in my heart, I know I did the right thing. My mind just could not change my heart... and I respect a persons time to much to waste it.  #TRUTHIS It's all good until the expectations set in...  After all, it's not you...it's me....

#TRUTHIS I know even though we have moved on, that you are still thinking about crack dude lol

TTFN.

A Few Changes Are In Order

Ok, TIKC- it is February 2011.  We are moving right on along! Happy Black History Month to EVERYONE!  Let's Go!



TIME TO GO.



#TRUTHIS, being that it is February and all, I would think that it is safe to assume that most of my folks have taken down ALL of their holiday decorations by now, right?!... *CRICKETS* .............................................
Alas, we all know that that is just not the case.  We've all seen the Christmas trees STILL lit up in the windows, the endless holiday wreaths STILL covering the doors, the strands of lights STILL being turned on outside the house...

#TRUTHIS If y'all haven't taken down your holiday decorations-Christmas trees, lights, wreaths, holiday doormats- YOU ARE BAMA! What are you waiting for?!! SMH!  Only one pass can be given, and that is for the folks with the lights that wrap around their house. However, this pass is only valid if they ain’t still turning them on! (I know those can be a pita (pain in the ass) to put up and take down every year) BUT, to everyone else- ummm, er NEGATIVE!!! It's way past time.  
#TRUTHIS I was picking up my littlest diva from school last week and she said "Mommy, look they still have their Christmas tree!" Yes folks, it was still up- at her black owned school…#imjustsayin. The owner heard her and got a little embarrassed, laughed and was like "Yes, we really need to take it down!" …Even my 3 year old knew that!  I had to smile as I dropped her off the next day and the Christmas tree was gone.  Knowing good and well that if my little mama wouldn't have called them out on their tardiness, we would have been looking at that tree again that morning... ;)  Way to go, munchkin! #shegetsit



AMEN.



#TRUTHIS Winter is definitely getting it in! Had y’all even heard of thundersnow before this winter?  As much of a pain as the snow has been.  You have to admit, that it really is beautiful! Shout Out to the midwest! It is SERIOUS in the Midwest right now! That ice storm is doing it WELL there.  It is straight up looking like snow, but it is actually inches of ICE!!   It’s no joke in the NE, either as we got 10 ‘’ dumped on us. Shout out to those farther north, who got slammed beyond our 10. Yikes... And, it's not over yet.  That midwest storm is headed our way now.

#TRUTHIS You would think that anyone living in a snowy region would have the necessary items to clean off their car, right?.I mean this is MD.  It snow's here and will always snow here.   So, um, not so much... I saw a woman trying to get 10 inches of snow off her car with a short ice scraper and a rag!  SMH. C'mon son! Help yo self!! Certainly you at least have a broom lol! 
On the bright side, spring is right around the corner...so says the groundhog!



Nahla's Parents



#TRUTHIS I hate that Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry can’t get it together and are about to have a straight up custody battle over their beautiful daughter, Nahla.  I won’t dare judge, as I don’t know all of the facts, but I do know that co-parenting CAN work! If both parents are willing, an effort should definitely be made. You don't have to stay together for the kids, but get it together for your kids, please! 

Not sure why she would send an email saying "You were only good for one thing... Thanks for the donation."  Really, an email?  As to the accusation that he used a racial slur towards her, well, I am going to leave that alone because it is simply that- an accusation… for now. 



CHANGE.



#TRUTHIS President Mubarak really needs to “bite the bullet” and step down NOW. The once peaceful protests have now taken a violent turn and it is only geting worse. The people have spoken and are straight up charging each other on camels!! For real. SMH. That is mild in comparison to the rest of the weapons they are using against each other over there. He better get out while he still can! 

#TRUTHIS Anderson Cooper got attacked in Egypt. @Cristilovequeen did you see your boo, the silver fox got pounded in the head 10 times (by a Pro-Mubarak mob, no less) while reporting in Cairo? He is ‘bout it though because he is still over there reporting! I know I would have brought my azz home!!!  According to reports, no one was seriously hurt.  According to Mr. Cooper,  "A young man would come up, look at you and then punch you right in the face."  It's crazy over there.  I’m sure his swag is still in tack though, no doubt. 

#TIKC is sending prayers out to all of the people fighting for their freedoms all across the globe.*

#TRUTHIS GOD IS SO GOOD ALL.THE.TIME
In an earlier post, I mentioned the family home being burglarized.  Update: The thieves have been caught!  Best case scenario played out. Amen. 

Greed is just sooo not cute. However, in this instance I am grateful because greed is the reason that they got caught! Is enough ever really enought? This insatiable need for always wanting more can get us into trouble. If they wouldn’t have gone back for more, they would probably be chillin right now.  Alas, we always want more, don't we? The moral of the story is to be happy with what you have.  (And of course, don’t steal ;)) 

#TRUTHIS There will always be someone that has more than you and there will always be someone that has has less. Keep in mind, someone will take the hand that you are dealt and win with it! (One of my faves) And of course there's the bit about if we all threw our issues/ problems in one pile,  upon seeing everyone elses issues/problems, we'd gladly snatch ours back!! :)  #TRUTHISKRAZYCOOL

And with that, I say be blessed! Play Nice. Stay warm! Be smart. And remember "You're never fully dressed without a smile!!"  (Shout out to Annie!)  I watched it the other night with the divas.  So fun!  Which reminds me...Did you hear that Will Smith will be doing a remake of Annie? Starring Willow, of course.  YAYYYY! I love that!  Can't wait!!!

TTFN.
