Two days ago - December 26th - I was looking forward to going to the mall and doing a little shopping, but the snow decided otherwise. And driving under the snow for me is strictly on a need-to basis, so since I did not need to go to the mall, I sat my butt at home. But first, I made a five-minute trip to the African store to buy bread. I love that crown top bread that has eight pull-apart rolls. It's like a big sized puff puff. It's so stretchy. I'm probably just consuming yeast and flour, but Read More
Merry Christmas, Family!!!
I cannot believe it's Christmas Day. No, seriously, like how did that happen? Feels like we just got into 2012, and now we're celebrating Christmas again, which only means one thing: 2013 is next week! I'm remembering what Christmas last year was like, and while I don't remember the exact events that took place, I do know that I am at a different place. As I type this now, I don't have any grand plans for Christmas. I don't know if we will visit anyone, or if we'll sleep the day away, or if Read More
CBN Featured Me … Kinda Sorta
On Wednesday, December 12th, I put up a write-up - Whose Mouth Will You Have To Stop Feeding? - about the fiscal cliff and how it will impact us - Nigerians, Africans, Immigrants.

It's not that Vera Ezimora herself was featured per se, but more like Vera Ezimora's tweet about the fiscal cliff appeared in the report that CBN did about 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 did not cook a thing. Instead, we went to Read More
Thankful … Especially For [And To] You
It’s Thanksgiving Day here, a day that is widely anticipated and celebrated by Americans. After living here for twelve years, I still don’t get half as much into as they do; I’m just happy for the break, albeit for a short time. While I may not be into the turkey carving or the stomach stuffing, I am very much into sitting back a little and reflecting on people that I have been blessed to know and have in my life. To God Almighty be all the glory. I don’t want to get all religious and Read More
