What’s a girl to do when she cannot summon the strength to blog even though she feels like she has so much to blog about??
I guess she could update her blog and let everyone know that she doesn’t quite know what to blog about. Too many issues bouncing around in her head. A flight of ideas, yes?
She could tell everyone about Saturday. She was on her way to a baby shower when she suddenly remembered that she forgot to brush her teeth that morning. She had to stop at a gas station to buy a bottle of water. Parked outside in the dark, she popped her trunk open, went through her in-case-of-incassities bag where she has everything but a bath tub, and pulled out a toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste, and a bottle of mouthwash. Standing out there in the fierce windy cold, she shamelessly brushed her teeth twice and gargled with listerine mouthwash.
Her breath was minty fresh after that. And then, she proceeded to the baby shower, exuding an air of confidence that could only come from having a fresh breath. Oh, she thanked her God for that in-case-of-incassities bag. Her friends, Funmi & Busola always thought she was crazy for having that bag in her car. The bag also contained a bible, two underwears, a sponge, liquid soap, a towel, a bath robe, lotion, deodorant,, sleeping clothes, and facial cleansers. She just has an obsession with being ready – just in case. The incident on Saturday caused her to add a bottle of water to that bag. Obviously, she’ll need water to brush her teeth.
But she’ll update properly later.
