Wordless (mostly, Mayra) Wednesday - Fancy Feet

Really missing my our Bumpkin, but these posts make me feel closer to her.  I know she is using her fancy feet to dance from cloud to cloud in Heaven.

I adore Kimberly Chorney.  Her work is amazing and a wonderful source of inspiration for me.

I am not blue. I am yellow.

Wanna find out your color personality?  If so, click here!

Did you know that my color personality is Yellow?!?  Me either until I took the quiz.  And it basically says this about me...

Like yellow's strongest symbol, the sun, you radiate warmth.

 

Others love to be around you because you have a gift for always looking on the bright side, and your ready smile can be infectious.

 

{Look!  That's me.  Smiling.  In yellow.}

 

 Chances are your calendar is packed -- yellow lovers tend to be always on the go!

 

 

Your signature color indicates someone imaginative and creative, so don't be afraid to express yourself through the way you dress and the way you decorate your home.

 

 

Cheerful yellow is the ideal hue for a kitchen, laundry room, or any room that needs some extra brightness.

Manic Monday - 10.04.10

Everything is changeable,

everything appears and disappears;

there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death.

I'm just not into it...

I tried to get "back to normal" - whatever the hell that means, but I have way too much on my mind to concentrate on the year of 1996.  Or any other year, for that matter.  And by the lack of players, I think ya'll will be fine with my decision. 

The things I do recall from 1996:

• 
  
  I graduated from Theodore Roosevelt High School in San Antonio, Texas.  We were the Rough Riders.  Long before DMX and his Ruff Ryders came about.  That's right, I'm reppin'!
• 
  
  Our class song was You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson.  I am so not kidding!  But, the "it" crowd kinda re-named our class song to I Got 5 On It!  I still love Michael though...
• 
  
  In addition, our 5A Football Team won the State Championship our graduation year!  My dude was the star running back, and was on the cover of Texas Highschool Football magazine.  Just sayin'...I was Lieutenant Colonel of the dance team.  We were the Patriots!
• 
  
  I headed off to college in the Piney Woods of East Texas.  Stephen F. Austin State University.  Man, those were some of the best days of my life!
• 
  
  Me and the dude began our relationship...15 years later...we still hangin' on.  (barely)
• 
  
  And I adored him...his music, still do!

I know it seems hard sometimes but remember one thing.

Through every dark night,

theres a bright day after that.

So no matter how hard it get, stick your chest out, keep ya head up.... and handle it.

{need to remember that quote right now...}

LOL!  Can you find me?  Circa 1997...I'm ahead one year, but so what?  This is just too hilarious not to post.  I am in that pic, with my sorority sisters, at a Crips and Bloods Fraternity Party.  We were gettin' our thug on....sorority style.  Ha!
