Igwe Proposed … And This Is How It Happened

Long before I knew what I was in for.

Lonnnnnnggggg post alert! Extreme picture overload!! Exit now!!! I have to start by really, really, really thanking every one of you for reading my blog. I honestly feel like I have a family here. You have been with me since 2006 when I started blogging, and I have blogged about all kinds of things: love, men, marriage, money, and my period, of course. That said, here’s how Igwe proposed. I mentioned on our anniversary day that we were going to {Read More}

My Weekend Recount: Thanksgiving … And The Little Movie Date That Wasn’t

So this past weekend was Thanksgiving. It technically wasn’t the weekend. In fact, technicality has nothing to do with this. It just was not the weekend. It was Thursday. However, with all the food and celebration, it felt like Saturday. The only thing that makes a week day holiday suck is having to go back to life the next day. Like, why couldn’t Friday be a holiday too? So I’ll start my weekend recount from Thursday. Thursday: Thanksgiving Day. I {Read More}

I Found It … So It’s Mine

Right now, I want to talk about something else: the rules behind finding something that isn’t yours. Does it then become yours? Or do you return it to the original – not necessarily rightful – owner? I don’t know the answer to this question. But I do know what I’m going to do with this piece of beauty I {Read More}

My Weekend Recount: It Was A Lazy Weekend … And I Loved It!!

For the past several weeks, I have had somewhere to go and something to do, and I have been looking forward to a lazy weekend. Well, this weekend was just that for me. I did not do anything on Friday, except prep for The Verastic Show on Saturday. And on Saturday, after the show, Uzo came over to get some blog-related issues sorted out, and I was glad to help. I cooked moi moi, white rice, goat meat stew, and {Read More}

My Weekend Recount: A Wedding, A Baptism Party, And Late Night Gists

Let me disappoint you from the beginning now; I do not have any pictures for this weekend’s recount. Somehow, I forgot to take pictures. I don’t know how that happened. But I won’t let that stop me from giving you a recount. Friday: It was solo date night for me. I stayed home and watched OnDemand movies till about midnight. I also happened to find a bunch of things online that I have my eyes on. They include high waist {Read More}
