I’ve been keeping up with this dude for years and if you love some good Neo-soul, Mr Roberson won’t disappoint.
On a side note, this is the type of guy that I could see myself settling down with. So… Eric Roberson, Will you marry me?
I’m 28, I sing, learning to cook, not a club rat, don’t drink, great with finances, willing to try new things and I’m the type of girl you can take home to meet momma. Holla.

Dear Stephen,
When you first hit the scene in 1998 with the group Playa, I heard a sample of “Don’t stop the music” and fell in love.
I copped the single and all of the samples of what was to come made me so anxious that I wrote Def Jam a letter demanding a release date. I wasn’t disappointed when the album dropped and it’s still one of my top 10 favorite albums of all time. I often play it from beginning to end and I always find something new hidden away in the songs.
Everything associated with Playa I promoted. I remember being in Tulsa and hearing “Available.” I was so excited that the music didn’t just stop at 1 album. I started to hear your musical genius everywhere from Aaliyah’s last album to Jamie Foxx’s “Unpredictable” album… even Pretty Ricky. And my god!!!, who could forget “Lollipop” with Lil Wayne. I even got word that you were going solo and couldn’t for you to blow up to superstar status.
You had a distinct sound that was refreshing and still to this day is unmatched. I love your melodic compositions and how you arranged a song. I love the harmonies you added to music. I love the tone of your voice and how it always stands out, even if its only in the background. I love your swagger and how down-to-earth your lyrics are. I love everything you’ve given to me musically and I still play your music to this day. You will be forever missed.
Love,
~Deltrice

I heart Adam Lambert! He does things with his vocals I can only dream of. He’s like a magical unicorn.
If he ever has a concert I want tickets.
| Gardening 10 Commandments |
28 Feb |
Every gardener has some commandments that the hold dear and follow. These are my 10 commandments for frugal gardening:
1. Thou shalt have fun: If you aren’t having fun while gardening, find another hobby
2. Thou shalt save money, not spend money: If you are planting a frugal garden, the bounty you receive should ultimately save you money over the amount you put into the garden
3. Thou shalt not acquire needy plants: Nothing makes it into my garden if it has specific needs or is just constantly needy (I sat through a garden club lecture & demo once where the speaker included the word critical more than a half dozen times…nothing goes in my garden that has a word like “critical” attached to it!)
4. Thou shalt not acquire fleeting plants: Anything I plant needs to stick with me. In other words, it can’t be a fleeting, flash in the garden bed sort of annual. No spot-of-color sort of event in my garden. Plants have to come back again and again; and on their own too!
5. Thou shalt keep digging to a minimum: The less digging the better. I’m all for raised beds, container gardening and getting anyone else to do any necessary digging!
6. Thou shalt be willing to try new things: I will try anything once. I know, this is a slight contradiction to Commandment #3, but it is my garden & I reserve the right to try anything once. I can always pass it along to someone else if it doesn’t behave itself and it may turn out to be something that is perfect for my garden that I can use again and again.
7. Thou shalt not acquire thirsty plants: Besides my veggie garden area, I don’t want anything in my garden that will expire if it doesn’t get a daily drink of water. Things need to hold their own here as I don’t have a drip or irrigation system and I just don’t seem to be the kind of gardener that remembers to water everything at exactly the right time. Plants with good root systems will win out every time, over those that are more delicate.
8. Thou shalt favor plants with multiple uses: Plants that do two things, instead of just one, will win a spot in my garden every time. Shrubs that are green all year and flower sometime during the year are great, as are trees that show off early spring blossoms as well as provide shade during the summer. Plants that are interesting in my borders or cottage gardens plus provide veggies for the table are favorites and any plant that has a fragrance is a sure addition.
9. Thou shalt not hide your garden in the back corner: The older I get, the closer my gardens get to the house. When I began gardening, most of my beds were in the back forty; nice because there was lots of room and they could be interesting…or not. No one but me usually saw them. With my move to this current property, my gardens are located right outside my front door. This was initially due to not having any other ground ready to plant plus the proximity to a water faucet.
I will never do the back forty kind of gardening again. This is just way too much fun. Everyone that comes to my house, from family to the UPS driver, has some sort of comment about the gardens. And, since people are always visiting; I’m so much more interested in working to keep the gardens up to snuff!
10. Thou shalt disturb weeds often: My last commandment has to be the advice I received from a great old gardener friend: Disturb the little, almost invisible weed seeds on a regular basis (read this as daily) and there will be no need to spend hours weeding. So true. The more time I spend just cultivating the dirt in between the plants & rows, the fewer weeds I ever see, the little weed sprouts just get too discouraged to grow.
