Some I've tried, Some I will try ;)

Forward from a Sorror:

WAIT!!!! Before that, much love to my Sorrors--TX, 1,3, and 4,  my Marine, Playa-Playa, J, J's Girlie (haha you have a birthday? what on earth could you be getting????hmmm...I know. hee hee) My 14-year old royal cuteness and enteroge, THE PROPHET who will be arriving on APRIL 7th (EVERYONE SMILE and say "Drunken Good Times") um, my side sisters "CUZ the BACK OF THE LINE, HOLDS it DOWN!" :)  and unfailing C. All of whom are my tru Familia....Thank you C (I know you don't read this, but...if ya ever did), you and your family mean the world to me. You know this, they know this, and I love you all for it.  Pero necessitan tortillas....
You all made my Easter so wonderful! and I don't even celebrate! But I do feel loved, so thank you. Besitos a todos.

Oh, and just so everyone who might read is caught up. With everything going on I know you might be questioning, but:
Yes, I am happy.
When I'm not happy, I fix it.
So no worries, I didn't give anyone permision to arrange me...

The world is mine, no one has to tell me this time.
