We finally managed to leave Baltimore at about 2pm. I won’t even bother going into the details of what we went through. By the time we managed to get a rental car, grab breakfast brunch, and fight traffic, I was exhausted. Thankfully, Funmie was driving. We were supposed to get there at 8:30pm, but because of the traffic, we got there at 10:03pm. While Funmie drove, I kicked Mother Nature, Sleep in her breasts as I fought tooth and nail to stay awake and keep Funmie company. It was in the last 30 minutes of the journey that I gave up as Mother Nature’s breasts were just too comfy.

While I drove back to Baltimore, however, Funmie fell asleep 30 minutes into the journey and did not wake up till we got back home — except when we stopped to refill our gas and when she woke up every now and then to give me a thumbs up or ask if I was okay. While she slept, I secretly took a picture of her with her mouth open, gum sitting on her tongue. Not sexy at all. This picture can kill a man’s libido. If she does not buy me a pair of shoes, the picture goes up! You say blackmail. I say getting what I deserve. Semantics, really.
North Carolina was totally awesome! It was pleasure to have me and Funmie inconvenience him for an entire weekend. How often does that happen to him? It was our first road trip, so we were everything from excited to nervous to eager. We went for Chichi’s wedding. You may not know her, of course, but she and her husband, Joe were one of the couples featured in this year’s Show Me Your Love Valentine Blog Event – yes, right here on Verastic!

| You may kiss your bride … mwah! |

| Funmie and Chichi |

| I don’t know who was blushing more between this husband & wife |
It was through the Show Me Your Love event that I knew Chichi. Prior to her sending her picture, we had never seen or spoken to each other. When it was time for her wedding, she requested my presence, and I was honored to be there. So, of course, I had to physically go to the table with Funmie and say, “Hi, my name is Vera Ezimora.” The rest is history, I guess. The wedding was so much fun! and I did renditions of our fathers’ dances. Too bad they were not there to see how much we have emulated them. Funmie concluded for the umpteenth time that she needs an Igbo husband. My fine Igbo men, where are you???

| Show them what you got, Chichi! |

Needless to say, I was so proud of myself for driving all the way from Charlotte, North Carolina to Baltimore, Maryland (seven whole hours!) that I am now considering a major career change. It’s about time I applied for a managerial position at Greyhound. Or Osondu as Mr. Shoes suggested. Either way, I will be cruising a luxurious bus near you. Don’t suspend all your travel plans till further notice as Mr. Shoes said he would. Instead, trust me to deliver you safely — hopefully.

| OMG! A picture of me! ***Now hyperventilating*** Someone, please call 911 |
DISCLAIMER: The fact that I attended Chichi’s wedding in North Carolina should not give anyone the impetus to start inviting me everywhere!!! I’ve just always wanted to say impetus. But my point remains. Tehehe.
Eyes wey dey talk!
I was sooo sure u were gonna pull this anonymous looking picture!
LOL–this ur eye make up ehn!
Glad u had fun!
I eagerly clicked the link and 'hoped' that you'd not pull our legs this time. But alas, it is still the eye(s). Very beautiful, captivating eyes I must say though. And lovely make-up. Hope u have been able to rest after all that driving.
See the well sculptured brows…I am jealous baby.
Meanwhile, me has resumed blogging even if my update is not qualified to be called one.
Rome was not built in a day jo. Lol.
Long hisss……………..lol….is this the picture of you? Heh! Glad you guys had a good trip to NC and back. Vera, shey you will come for my anniversary? I will pay your ticket…
haha.. you forget that some of us have your pishure sha o.. π
Lol…I knew you would pull some stunt when you announced at the beginning that your picture was here. Anyway, I can do my hacking runs and find some pictures…
Baroka: What are they saying?
Gee: This is not an anonymous looking picture. This is an actual picture of me! It shows both eyes, both eyebrows, some forehead, and almost my nose. I don try na!
Pearl: LOl. In all honesty, I was not trying to even pull your legs. I really thought that was a good picture. I don't think I've ever put both eyes at once before. If I have, I cannot remember. Thanks for the compliments! And yes, I am not well rested. Thank God.
Temmy Tayo: LOL. Thanks to Natalie, my Asian eyebrow waxer. Just $7 and a lotta pain. Will sheck your blog out. I don't believe you have resumed blogging. I am almost completely positive that you'll disappear again.
Myne: See disrespect! You came inside my blog comment box to start hissing at me. See me see wahala oh. LOL @ attending your anniversary. No problem. Send the ticket, and I'll be there with immediate effect.
Bagucci: I don't forget. I just trust that those of you that have it will be nice. And smart π
Suzanne: Don't try me oh! I'm sure you don't want me to order all the gyms in the State of New York to close down till further notice abi?
Actually, I think if we merged this picture of your lagbaja-styled eyes with the one of your mouth eating deliciously man-made pounded yam at Ikhide's house on my blog together, we might have an accurate picture of your face. There's a bright idea.
lol u to funny vera..
loved this read
I knew there'd be some green on your eyes…
Ok Seriously! How come no one is noticing dese sexy pics of FUNMIE
ok i had to comment, normally i will just read and comment to myself but this na picture? I should have known. But I do like the eye makeup and your brows are nicely sculpted. Since we are getting both eyes now how about you do some EOTD makeup pics??
Funmie, you're already tres awesome, that's why. Don't mind that Vera with her Lagbaja state of mind.
@Funmie no vex..its just the disappointment now that's why you beauty got overlooked we even forgot about the fine bride sef.
Funmie looks good!!
Vera…it is confirmed, I have seen you somewia. Tell me how I put that together from a full pic of your fore head and eyes.

Azazel: Awww. Thanks, boo π
Azuka: LOL!!! I can't help it. And do you know my outfit was not green? It didn't even have anything green on it. But green is officially my favorite eye liner.
Funmie: There's only one reason: They are NOT sexy!
Dat One Okrika Girl: I tried my darndest to decode EOTD, but to no avail. Biko, come back and explain. And what do you mean by, this na picture? Of course, yes! Why shall I shy? I gave you two – not one oh! – but two open eyes.
Anonymous: LOL. If you say you have seen me, who am I to argue? It is very possible, of course. But won't you tell me who you are? *batting eye lashes* Per Funmie, abeg stop making her excited her jare!
Chari: Ah, ah!! LOL. No be like that at all oh! LOL. Ngwa, send me the invitation. Wait, y'll are getting married? Woo-hoo!! I wanna come. In fact, I am dia already. How can I miss this wedding? Per hating me, I know you don't mean it. Tehehe.
Shorty: LOL. I don't care what you say. Funmi no sexy pass me! My one picture is sexier than allllll her picshures.
Funms: Wait oh! I need to redefine my disclaimer. I will go anywhere … as long as the trip is paid for π
Anonymous: Awwwwwwwww. Okay, fine. You can invite me. All expense paid oh!
2Cute4u: Hahahaha. Mind yourself oh! I don't like this thing you're saying. In fact, lemme call my people at Photoshop and warn them.
Aloofar: Yes, baby. That's me. All me.
LG: Be appreciative! I have give you two open eyes, and you're asking for more? LOL.
Femi: LOL. Hater! I have told you already to admit this secret love affair you're having with my eyes. Admit it oh!
Vera dear, for a blogger you seem to lack confidence. It's quite strange that you are always posting pics of others but never of yourself-especially when you are in the business of interacting with people…
Anyway, glad u ladies had fun. The bride and groom look great!
LisaW: I think you're new around here? I'm sorry if I'm wrong. I'm a semi-anonymous blogger, that's the short part of the gist. Being semi-anonymous requires me to be some kind of anonymous. No?
…ofcuz, it had to be just the eyez again? *mpscheew…Vera nwannem, how u dey sha? shey you know your shakara is too much sha…when you move back to naija, if TV doesnt work, you can work for Chisco or Ifesinachi Trans Co…i will persoanlly charter your own bus…LMBAO
Vera aka Lagbaja EOTD means eyes (makeup) of the day. Your eye makeup fine but you already know that now π
WTF!!!! JOE is my uncle… LIke Joe Onyenekwe… My dad's Younger brother!!! wtf!!!

Vera your eye make up is absolutely gorgeous…and you wear it beautifully.
I 2nd Baroka's suggestion…photoshop pls!
im sure before the end of the year we might see your whole face…
Vera, you know so funmi go take style now post your full picture by mistake.
You know the saying: The wind shall blow and we will see the chicken's nyansh.
Baroque: Hahahaha @ chartering my own bus. Aren't you sweet? I knew I could count on you! LOL. I'll take you anywhere you wanna go. Per the shakara, wetin you mean sef? You want me to be showing everyone your good? *wink, wink*
Dat one Okrika Girl: Sweetie'm, I never get tired of receiving compliments, so bring them all on. LOL. Thanks anyway! π Now, I'm blushing.
Dante: Really? Oh, wow!!! So if you were there, na so I for just bump into you? How cool!! Small world, ey? So, ehm, Mr. Man, when is your own wedding na?
Anoda Phase: Awwww. Thanks for the compliments, sis. Per the photoshop, forget that one jare. It's absolutely bad for business! LOL.
Sisi Yemmie: Mba oh! No dey talk like that abeg. I almost put a picture of my lips sef. Then I had to hold myself. Didn't wanna give people more than necessary. This talk of photoshop is starting to fear me.
Lucid: At least, now I know my enemies. Which kin style will she use to post my picture? Kpachalu anya gi oh! That will not happen. Lai, lai!
You're such a tease :-p
