Sweet Potatoes!<\/p>\n

If you are a regular Sweet Potato, then you’d have probably noticed the embarrassing scarcity of new posts in the past few weeks. Please forgive me. I typically don’t like to come here and give you half-news, unless I really, really have to. So I apologize for the half-news I’m about to deliver to you today, but I just need to explain my absence a bit. <\/p>\n

Half-news<\/strong> = news that says something like, “I’m working on something, but I can’t tell you about it yet …”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The reason why I have not been blogging and vlogging<\/strong><\/a> is because I have been desperately trying to finish (or at least get closer to the end of) something I have been working on for a really long time. So, I got so desperate<\/del> determined to finish it that I basically put everything else on the backburner and said, screw it, nothing else is getting done until this other thing is done<\/em>. And when I say everything has been on the backburner, I mean EVERYTHING. You should see my hair. It looks so bad, it’s making bad hairs look good. On a sidenote, I’m still thinking of cutting all my hair off<\/strong><\/a>. I should stop thinking and just go it. The thing don tire me.<\/p>\n

Please be patient with me, Sweet Potatoes. I promise, when I finally tell you what I’ve been doing, you will be so proud of me. I can’t say what it is right now because it’ll be pointless since I am not done yet.  A few times that I did try to blog more, nothing was coming. It was just me and a blank WordPress page, and after staring at it for a while, I decided to respect myself.<\/p>\n

Here’s to me coming up with fresh, new, fun content for you. Meanwhile, just take a second to ask God to favor your girl. I need all the prayers I can get right now.<\/p>\n

Oh, an update on Ada Verastic’s height costing us money<\/strong><\/a>: we<\/del> I finally picked a car seat and ordered it. It just got installed in my car yesterday. And no, we did not go to the police or fire station<\/strong><\/a>. This time, we respected ourselves and Igwe installed it.<\/p>\n

P.S.<\/strong> I hope everyone is safe in Russia!<\/p>\n

P.P.S.<\/strong> Thank you so much to everyone who checked up on me while I was semi-away. I heart you (Is it still cool to say I heart you<\/em>?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
