That’s what the past 17 days of my life has felt like: party, party, party! Or let me rephrase it, “Fun, fun, fun!!!” Yes, Sir! I have actually been having fun. I, Vera Ezimora whose only known method of fun used to be weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, movies, and bowling. Yes, I have now evolved to a new level of fun – the type of fun where I hop on a plane and fly to a place where they paint their homes pink and yellow. Happy, happy place, it seems. Nothing compared to the red brick buildings in Maryland. But I digress.
Let me tell you what I was able to accomplish in the past 17 days – some in Maryland, and some in other places:
- I went jet skiing for the first time in my life.
- I attended a Nigerian Independence party that was really nice. I got to dance with the DJ whom I found rather sexy. I could not take my eyes off him, so I had to dance with him. I’m all better now.
- Managed to catch a cold – somehow. I’m still coughing. Mr. Shoes forced me to drink all sorts of tea – including something that smelled like Theraflu – even though it was called tea.
- That’s his hand there, so he can’t say he didn’t do it, and that’s the theraflu-smelling tea
Went to a Lebanese restaurant and had a shawarma pita sandwich for the first time 
Was taken on a surprise trip [by Mr. Shoes] to a private resort. I’m still shivering. I’ve never been anywhere that nice before, and on that note, Mr. Shoes needs to be warned to stop calling me Mgbeke before I arrange a street beating for him. Funmi suggested that I steal the curtains from the room and bring them back to Baltimore. I did consider it, but they were heavy. They would have made my luggage go past fifty pounds.- I found out that even with high heels and a huge scarf, Mr. Shoes is still taller than me.
- I learnt how to use Goal Seek on Microsoft Excel. Let me rephrase that: I had an assignment that prompted me to use Goal Seek. Mr. Shoes taught me how to do it. And no, I don’t know how to do it, so don’t bother asking, but yes, I turned in my assignment.J
- I attended an Island Carnival [for the first time in my life] where I saw these really long dreads. Wonder how long it took him to grow them.
- Ms. Flow showed up at some point. It’s never complete unless it gets bloody. You can say I had a bloody fun time. Hehe.
- I went swimming. Mr. Shoes might beg to differ. He’ll probably say, “She went standing in the pool…” Well, whatever. I got into the pool. I got wet. That’s it. I went swimming. End of the story.
- While Mr. Shoes and I walked down the hallway, he was being bad – whatever that means – so I spanked his behind. Imagine our shock when we heard a lady’s voice behind us, “Go ‘head, gurl… spank it!!!” Well, at that point, I had no choice but to spank it.
- I got my butt and my ego severely bruised by Mr. Shoes in several games of WHOT. He straight up kicked my behind. In my defense, I have not played the game in years. These losses should not be held against me.
- I guzzled more La Creme yogurts than I care to remember. That yogurt is from heaven. Angel Gabriel’s wife must have whipped it up herself.
- I was told by Mr. Shoes that the relationship between me and my breasts would have to change. He claims I was touching them while we were at the post office. Where’s the proof??
- I ate the best ora soup, cooked by Princess U. Speaking of Princess U, she still owes me a pot of peppersoup. I have not forgotten.
- I watched and listened to friends do some deafening karaoke. Unfortunately, no Advil liquigels or earplugs were close by.J
- I watched the movie, Couple’s Retreat with Mr. Shoes. After that, I realized that we might need to attend a retreat of our own to learn how to keep up with each other. I need to be on roller skates to be able to keep up with his walking. Either that, or we continue the way we’ve been doing it: I hang on to his right arm and run along with him while he walks.
- Poster courtesy of www.allmovieposter.com
- I made new friends.
- I ran into Mr. Kisser and pretended not to know who the heck he was.
- I finally got to knead some dough.
Fun enough for you? Considering the amount of fun I’m accustomed to having – which is really not a lot – I’d say I have had enough new fun to last me the entire year and then some, but I won’t mind having more of this type of fun, of course — especially the spanking butt part of it. Good stuff.
Verastically Speakin’: Hope everyone is looking forward to the show on Saturday – The Nigerians Did It? We’ll be talking about the Sony PS3 ad and the District 9 movie.
