Recklessly authentic.
This all happened because of goat meat. Let me explain. Usually, Funmie is the one who helps me get goat meat whenever she goes to D.C. This time, however, The Boy went (not to D.C, but to Pennsylvania). I know, I know, the distance we'll travel for goat meat. He had been planning on going for months with his friend, but something always came up. This time, up until the morning they actually went, he did not know whether they would make it there or not. He left the house early, Read More
Last week Wednesday, I had the pleasure of attending a pop of event hosted by the Blogalicious, and it was beyond amazing. But before it became amazing, there was me crying in the car, frustrated.

Ladies and gentlemen, this past Sunday in church, Igwe and I were just stepping out of the car in the parking lot when I noticed another couple parked two cars from us also stepping out of their car. It was not really the couple that got my attention; it was their car! They had a sky blue Volkswagen Beetle Bug. Oh. My. God.
