I had so much fun reading Old School Blogging posts last month that I participated with Alphabet Soup. I decided to take the prompt for this month and link up with Alison and Elaine.
Oh, I’m still turnt up from the Centennial weekend, so um yeah…my pin for today is totally a S/O to my 5 (who happened to be my travel buddy for the weekend), Drama of SPR 01, Eta Chapter, FVSU, 28 Forces of RAPture, DST…..ok 🙂 If you didn’t get all that, no worries …Recap coming soon and it’ll all make sense.
LIST OF FIVES MEME
Five Things I Have A Passion For
- BODYCOMBAT/Fitness/Sports, Healthcare, Making Money, Learning New Things (There are a few others, but these I talk about on the blog sometimes)
- Mentoring girls & Fellowship with Family & Friends (Family Reunions, Sorority Reunions, Girls Night Out, Date night, etc.)
- Recycling & Sunday School
- Styles and Shopping – thus the F2BD series
- TV, Books, Movies, Blogging, & Music – Sorry, fine arts just never tickled my fancy (ditched ballet, tap, jazz, piano lessons, playing in the band, slept through all the cultural events as a child, I don’t do much politics as an adult…I really don’t care what anybody thinks about this either). Don’t worry, I’ll still expose my own children 😉 !
I am a very passionate person, AYEEEE! 🙂 I tried to group them, I just have so many interest.

How do I look on the cover?

Rx Fitness Lady wants to know…
- Do you know what it means virtually when someone encloses a word with ** like I did in the title *High Fives*? In this case, it means High Five 🙂 Give me a high five in the comments if you had something in common with me & tell me what it was!

I was laughing at your passions (not because they were funny) because you have so many and you sure grouped a bunch of them with each # :).
I’ve always wanted to be on Family Feud. I haven’t read Black Enterprise since my college days. I bet you get all kinds of motivation and inspiration from it. You look awesome on the cover 🙂 I do read Shape and Kokoa Mags.
Love Lean on me. Watched it and Boyz N the Hood a bunch of times, however, not within the last few years.
I’m high fiving you on your travel places. Would love to go to Amsterdam and Tahiti. I’d also like to visit San Francisco too.
Can’t wait to hear about your Centennial trip. Blessing!
Hope recently posted…Live Full…Die Empty
My mother keeps telling my sister to get us on Family Fued. She records that game show and watches it whenever there are no soap Y&R and Bold and the Beautiful episodes to catch up on.
I have to admit…I was kinda thinking Family Feud 🙂 !
LOL! *High Five* My girlfriend and her family taped a show a few weeks ago. Can’t wait for it to air. You all would make for a good show…I’m thinking especially with your dad. He seems funny 🙂
Hope recently posted…Live Full…Die Empty
Love this meme! 🙂 Hawaii is on my bucket list!-Ashley
thedoseofreality recently posted…Would You Rather: Have A Wedding Disaster Involving Jorts Or Cockroaches?
I think it’s a good honeymoon spot!
I remember this kind of blogging 🙂
I see so many people wanting to publish a book before they die, me including.
blackhuff recently posted…What’s your comfort?
It’s new to me, but tons of fun!
Awe, my #22, you’re the best! Thank you for the s/o. I really enjoyed being your travel buddy. I will never forget this trip…one of the best! We laughed a lot and got to catch up. Truly memorable!
Sure did! I had fun with you Latrijuanna! *side eye* on that spelling!
How cool! I like this post. As I’ve mentioned before, the nosey girl in me loves knowing little details about someone. Reading your movie selection we could totally do a girl’s movie night together. I’m a fan of all of them. I’ve never read Black Enterprise Mag before but you would look great on their cover.
I was cracking up over your list of 5 things you always say. You need to do a vlog soon so we can hear ya. That way we can imagine the attitude when you say “YES, I’m blogging”.hahaha
I hope you enjoyed your DC trip. Can’t wait to hear about it. Glad to have you back.
We could totally do a girls trip! We have so much in common! Or better yet, go to a blog conference. We must discuss via email!
*Waving at you with joy*! I’ll be posting mine tomorrow, Joi. Our passions are very similar. And I didn’t know Sister Soulja had a book out!
Alison recently posted…Fashionistas
It was so good Alison! Not sure if you read the first one, but this sequel didn’t disappoint. I’ll be here for it. Looking forward to learning a bit more about ya lady!
Lol you done put yourself on the cover. You go girl I see you on the cover of a fitness magazine too. Thanks for the shoutout too
Kita recently posted…Pinteresting Wednesday
That’s right Kita! Speak it into existence! You are most welcome!
* * Joi! Definitely fellowshipping with family and friends, writing a book and taking that OVERDUE trip to Paris! Love your list, but I have a feeling that if the list was extended to more than five…you would have easily filled it up, lol! Have a good one lady and thanks for linking up today!! 😉
Michell recently posted…Doing YOU WELL Wednesday #24 and happy anniversary…
LOL, I can just talk about myself all day long 🙂
So many authors in this space. I can’t wait to see everyone’s finished product!
I have been to London, but I would love to go back again with my husband.
JDaniel4’s Mom recently posted…{Outdoor Fun} Into the Puddles We Go
I would love to go when I get a husband 😉 Thanks for visiting!
Joi
Your list of 5 passions cracked me up – yes, I can tell you are a very passionate person!!!
I can’t wait to read your book! And, I would definitely buy your workout DVD!!!
Kim recently posted…Keeping Cool
Thanks Kim! I’m sure you will be a great critic for the DVD!
I think you look VERY good on the cover 🙂
Alison recently posted…Confessions
Tee hee! Thanks Alison!
LOL!! I was going to give you my answers for what I say a lot. Okay now I need to think of answers for all of them 😉 I won’t list that I’ve always wanted to be on Wheel of Fortune because I’d be scared to death. But I’m good at it sitting on the sofa and I have the nerve to say, “DUH” to contestants that didn’t see something I thought was plain as day. I may have also been mean and called them a dumb something or ‘nother 😉
Kenya G. Johnson recently posted…Who’s On First?
GURRLLL I am the same way with Family Feud! I bet it is so different on that stage!
My five passions would be similar to yours. *High Five*
Movies: Tim Burton, Tim Burton, and anything done by Tim Burton. Bonus if it stars Johnnie Depp.
Carli recently posted…Amazingly Bloggerish Things We Do With Our Smartphones
I’m with you on that. They are a lethal combination, Johnny and Tim!
Alison Hector recently posted…Fashionistas
*High Five* Thanks Carli!
So, you love Tim Burton, huh? 🙂
I really wanted to play on Family Fued! I still kinda do! LOL!
Britton recently posted…What To Wear…The Summer Concert
Right….Especially with Steve as the host and all! SUPER fun!
Oh I’m so glad you did this! I just love it. “Girl stop” is the best saying ever. Promise me if we ever meet at a blogging convention, you’ll say it to me. I sincerely think you’re going to do the five things before you die. All of them. Without a doubt.
P.S. Sister Act 2 is one of my favorites too. I can’t get enough.
Tamara recently posted…Guest Post: Skin Deep.
You are so funny Tamara! I will be holding on to a Girl stop just for you! Can’t wait to meet!
Hi Joi,
this is an awesome post, I may have to borrow this one! So, I love the movie “Adventures in Babysitting” as well, haven’t seen it in long time though. I saw that traveling to San Fran is on your list, I went for the first time back in April of this year, wonderful city! And yes, I can clearly see you on the cover of Black Enterprise, girl don’t stop!!
Thanks Tiffany! I am excited about San Francisco. I am surprised that people share my affection for Adventures and Babysitting. I totally fell in love with that movie as a child!
You can’t go wrong with “Girl Stop” lol! My passion list would be long as well. I think I’ll just write a paragraph. And even I see you on that magazine cover! Nothing can beat the power of visualization
Ambitious Curls recently posted…Quick and Easy De-Stressors
Thank you girl! I just went ahead and did that thang huh, lol! One day!
Thanks for tagging me in this post. I was waiting for someone to do it! Wrote mine today. Paris is definitely on my list to travel to. I’ve already been to Hawaii and the Dominican Republic. I enjoy Black Enterprise too (like your cover) and Boyz N The Hood is one of my favorite movies (cry every time). I’m with you, Hope, and Britton on doing Family Feud. Maybe we should team up as bloggers and go on there LOL!
Kimberly H. Smith recently posted…Let’s Kick It Old School!
That would be so amazing! We should get to work on that ASAP!
When Ricky’s mom is screaming in that living room…#DONE!!!!
Great answers! So many passions – love it! Seriously, is one of my favorites to say too. And I seriously need to go to Tahiti and Barcelona to write my book:)
leah davidson recently posted…Quote of the Week

*high five!!* I LOVE SISTER ACT 2 and LEAN ON ME, it must be that we are daughters of educators, that HAS to be it!! LOL I love these old school blogging memes!
Nellie recently posted…Weekly Wednesday Workout: Split Squats
I can quote Lean on Me like I was in the movie (like every role, lol)…Fare Eastsideeeee…..
I’m back. High Fiving you on your #5 of passions. I never was a fan of Annie, though I do want to see the remake when Quvenzhane Wallis plays Annie. That’s supposed to be in the works for next year.
Kenya G. Johnson recently posted…Old School Blogging: It’s a thing!
WHAT!!! I love it! I can’t wait to see this! That lil mama is a trip!
Love the cover shot! And Lean on Me is a great movie. Totally need to watch that again.
another jennifer recently posted…Wordless Wednesday: Wet Puppy
I can watch it any time it airs! Thanks Jen!
Can you please do a vlog? It would be so awesome to hear you say, “Girl stop!”
HA, stay tuned Catherine!
Lean on me. Makes me cry every time I watch it. I love that you mentor girls. That’s wonderful. And I will be first in line to buy your workout DVD!
Ilene recently posted…Designing Home
Why thanks Ilene! I appreciate that from a fellow instructor!
Loved your post! I wouldn’t say I am a mentor but I feel really passionate about The Fresh Air Fund and I hope our family makes a difference in the life of the little girl who comes to stay with us every summer. And I love Lean on Me!! Such an awesome movie!!
Michelle recently posted…Best Buds {Wordless Wednesday}
I’m positive it does! Mentoring is a huge part of my life. I love going to the youth detention center, they are MUCH more appreciative and attentive in that environment.
{Melinda} I’ve loved reading these lists that you and others of my fav bloggers have posted! I adore Adventures in Babysitting and I’m working on the book thing too. 🙂 So fun to get to know you a little better, Joi.
Mothering From Scratch recently posted…What makes you count to 10?
It will be so exciting to see all of these books published! Thanks for reading Melinda!
Ummm ma’am? Please do not let you Black Enterprise cover look like this! LMBO. I can definitley see you on the cover though. I too plan to take a trip to the UK. San Francisco is my hometown so that’s always on my travel list.
Andrea recently posted…Tips for Planning a Destination Wedding
Work with me boo! PicMonkey limitations 😉
You will have to give me the scoop on to do’s!
I would totally buy your workout DVD…and hooray for ‘seriously’! *High Fives*
Leslie recently posted…{Weigh In Wednesday} Week 28
Thanks Leslie! I was excited when I read your seriously too 🙂
You sound like such a fun, well-rounded person! I love to read, hate to sit still for long, and want to go to Hawaii!
Diane Fit to the Finish recently posted…Does Keeping Kids Away From Junk Food Backfire?
Thanks for sharing Diane and the compliment. Hawaii is my honeymoon destination wish!
I could have gone on and on with the movies too! It was hard to pick just 5! Lol! I also want to visit Barcelona…I put Madrid on my list but truth is I would love to spend the summer traveling all over Spain! I think my “Yes” is usually very attitudnal as well! Ha!
Great list!
Tracie recently posted…Self Discovery
Hi Tracie! I don’t like traveling for very long. My over seas trip will be a challenge but an entire summer, wow! I’d have to have all the peeps with me, lol! Thanks for visiting!
Joi
Yay! To Annie on Christmas. All your 5s are super true!
Yes! You were gone for my first real Christmas off last year! We must recommit to this ritual this year!
My favorite old movies are: Pretty woman, Lean On Me, and A Time To Kill. I can watch them over and over. I share several of your passions. I love mentoring to the girls. I share your travel plans. Please get our family on Family Feud!!! You could blog about that for a long time. I love that game show and I can answer almost all of the questions correctly. Also, I would love to see you on the front cover of a fitness magazine or any magazine. You picture would make an awesome front cover. A trip to Europe is on my very near future plans.
Thank you for the support. I would have never guessed Pretty woman was at the top of your list 🙂
*High Fives* We had some things in common! My dream is to publish a novel and San Fransisco is on the honeymoon list for the honey and I. Hawaii is another destination I have to visit one day!
Sherelle recently posted…Wedding Wednesdays: Best Planning Resources
Oh, I never thought of it for a honeymoon but I have heard it is quite the quaint little place to visit. I can see that!
