Hi Sweetie !

Shopping is on my list of things to do ( for supps and car stuff ) . Also plan on painting the t-tops on "jill" and start on repainting the hood so she will be as beautiul as her namesake.

Oh and i am "buliking". You were kidding me right ? You didn't think I looked bigger in my last pics ?

Mavs · 06-16-2004, 12:36 PM

The wee hours of the morning indeed! It's weird, up during the week I don't get nearly the amount of sleep I should. Last night I had to stay up super late finishing up some homework that's due tonight. Then my mind takes a while to cool down so I hop online! Boy, work wasn't too much fun this morning...in fact, it wasn't ANYTHING...I called in! Mwahahahaha Brotha needed some sleep in a bad way!
