I guess I have. I\u2019m so sad to find out that so many of my blogger mates have stopped blogging. I guess we all just ran out of things to say after a while. I\u2019m hoping they find their spark and come back. Meanwhile, there are sooooo many new bloggers. Whew! I have no clue where to even start. Anyway, I\u2019ll dig them out small small. But uhm, all of una welcome ooo.<\/p>\n<p>So much has been going on. Mr. T and I are finally over. This isn\u2019t actually something that recently happened. It happened since August of last year. It was &#8220;good&#8221; while it lasted. Even better when it ended. Probably be best when I find a permanent replacement. LOL. Even I, laugh at myself sometimes. At first, it was kinda weird. I was not sure how to feel about the breakup, but now, I am relieved. Sometimes you think something is a disappointment, but then so many good things happen as a result of said disappointment. This breakup was the bomb diggity! I don\u2019t deserve it, but God has been really, really good to me. He has really favored me. I\u2019m a little too excited about this breakup. Is this normal?? I almost feel like throwing myself a \u201cparry.\u201d It is not being single that I am celebrating; it is being emancipated from <em>that<\/em>. But anyway\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of my manlessness sef, I recently discovered Banke Mashide-Lawal, and my oh my\u2026is she good or what! The lady makes me wanna get married in Nigeria. In fact, I have booked a hall for my wedding in Nigeria. I have picked my bridesmaids\u2019 dresses, and I have decided what kind of shoes they will all wear. I have picked aso ebi material for all my groups; I have booked the live band, the decorators, and the DJ. Now, all I need to find is the husband cause you know how easy it is\u2026with me having all these men knocking my door down and begging for my hand in marriage\u2026lol, yeah right!<\/p>\n<p>I laugh at my koloness.\u2026but in my defense, I think it runs in the family. Just the other day, I was making fun of my father and his baldness. Over the years, he has gradually been getting bald. The frontal part of his head is so bald that it is as smooth as his face. He even rubs lotion on his head. And when he is under the sun, it will be in your best interest to not look directly at his shining head. Trust me, it is like looking into a mirror that is directed at the sun. Anyway, when I made fun of his hair or lack of it rather, he said that doctors like him do not need hair anyway because in the middle of a surgery, a strand of hair can fall off their head and fall into the open patient. That is the silliest excuse for being bald I have ever heard. What then becomes of the female doctors? Do they all shave their heads to avoid this alleged contamination?<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><span style=\"color:#ff6600;\">Other news\u2026<br \/><\/span><\/u><\/strong><br \/>You see that camera by the right?

I received the camera as a birthday gift in January. What can I say?
