1991, that was a good year. I was living in Hawaii, so that means I was in....the 4th or 5th grade (yup I'm a youngin') and the song that was really big for us on Ford Island was "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice. The girls thought he was cute and the guys thought he was cool, lol. That was a fun time...sometimes wish life could be that simple again....

Well I've got lots to do today so ya'll be sure to have a fantastic day and a WONDERFUL weekend :)
