I thought I would be able to make a blogging schedule for myself and stick to it, but what was I thinking? I can’t do it! I have never been good @ having a regular schedule, so why start now? What was I thinking? Basically, what I am saying is that you should consider my ‘Update Wednesday’ thingy as null & void. I will update when the blogging spirit moves me.<\/div>\n

The Long Harmattan Season by Uche Nworah<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
My friend & big brother, Uche Nworah has self-published his first book, The Long Harmattan Season<\/em>. Uche is an award-winning internet columnist, and he is da bomb, if I do say so myself. Like I said, he has self-published the book, and therefore, we as Nigerians & Africans owe it to him to support him and his dream. The book can be found on Amazon.com, but feel free to request\/buy an autographed copy at www.uchenworah.com<\/a> I’m really proud of Uche because he has gone for his dream, which is something that a lot of us (Africans) are too afraid to do. So if you have a dream, no matter how big or small (heck, ur dream might even be to marry me….which is a huge dream by the way), you ought to go for your dream; believe in yourself and just win. Of course, if said dream is to marry me, then I suggest you start saving for my engagement ring, which I have picked out already. Be not alarmed, it only costs $17, 000 before tax. And that’s US dollars o! What was I saying sef? Ehen, so go and purchase Uche’s book, please. You won’t be disappointed.<\/div>\n

Party Planning No Dey Easy O<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>I have included a picture of my Grandma for your viewing pleasure. She’s beautiful, isn’t she? Guys, if you’re interested, I’m auctioning her to the highest bidder, so e-mail with the amound you’re willing to part with, and I just might hook you up. Bids start from $1000, please. If you do not want to pay in monetary terms, then tell me how many cows you can afford. Please, bid with at least 200 cows. Grandmas are very expensive and scarce in the market these days. It must be due to the scarcity of gas\/fuel.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In my previous post, I invited bloggers to my Grandma’s party, but I forgot to mention the date. It’s the 31st of March. I am soooo tired of planning this thing. And it doesn’t help that my friends and I are doing the aso ebi thing. I’m happy we are oh, but the thought of looking for matching shoes and a matching purse is exhausting me…although I would be thrilled to add a new shoe to my collection. My aim is to receive donations for this expensive party. Oh, did I mention it’s a surprise party? Yes oh, grandma doesn’t know about it, although this Igbo lady almost let the cat out of the bag yesterday.<\/div>\n
I was on the phone arguing with the video man yesterday. He wants to bring a projector to the party, which will cost us an extra $100. I agreed to this arrangement, thinking he would have a slideshow of grandma’s pictures showing on the projector, but alas, the projector will be for the guests to see themselves dancing. What rubbish! If we want him to have pictures, it would cost us another $100. I advised mom not to take the deal. What is the point of having and paying for a projector if all it will be doing is showing the guests dancing?? If they want to see themselves dancing, they should bring mirrors!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anyways, this is Grandma’s 71st birthday. Her birthday was actually on the 24th of Jan (10 days afta mine), but we moved the party till March cause my aunt went 2 Naija on the 16th of January and would not be back till Friday (16th). I guess she wants to attend her mother’s party. She should better bring me some gala! If you’re interested in attending the party, e-mail me @ verastic@yahoo.com<\/a> (Jaycee, are you really interested in coming? If you are, email me then. By the way, did I mention I saw your picture online about a month ago? Hehehe *evil laugh*). I dunno why I keep discovering bloggers o… especially since I am not even trying to. What will happen when I start trying to? <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When Busola got engaged, I could not contain my excitement. The thought of even planning the wedding sef (which will be holding sometime this year) excited me even more. But when push came to shove, e no funny @ all o! Who wants to be driving around the city looking for a hall and negotiating with the owners? This is crazy! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anyways, I appointed myself as her maid of honor. Who cares if she wants some1 else? This is about me. I have even picked out my dress; once again, who cares if she wants something else? I was so excited about the whole ordeal that I 4got to factor in the cost. But thank God for Boyfriend sha; I already told him to start saving as this would be an expensive wedding for him and everyone else but me. Did I tell you I’ll be reading a poem for Busola and her husband on that day? I have 2 look xtra good o! The only thing that bothers me now is that she will have a wedding website with pictures of her bridal party, which I am obviously the chief deputy queen of. I dunno how I feel about her putting my picture there sha. Maybe I just won’t announce the site to bloggers?? *confused* <\/div>\n
