It&#8217;s not been easy updating my blog, but I have tried to stay on top of things. I have not even had the time to blog-patrol as usual, and I apologize. Don&#8217;t take my absence on your blog as anything personal. Time has just not really been on my side. <em>When has it ever been?<\/em> That being said, I hate to admit this sad, painful truth: I have let myself go! Now brace yourself as I intend to get very Verastic.<\/p>\n<p>So on wednesday, I took my clothes off in front of my dresser. I was standing there completely nude when I took a glimpse of myself in the mirror and thought, <em><strong><span style=\"color:#000099;\">&#8220;Ah, ah&#8230;I thought I already took off my underwear.&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/em> It took another glimpse for me to realize that what I thought was an underwear was not an underwear, but rather my pubic hair. Oturugbeke! When did it become this bad?????<\/p>\n<p>I know I have been busy, but my goodness!! It&#8217;s a black tropical rain forest down there. I don&#8217;t know why I have so much hair; it&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m planning on growing my own weave or something, so what the heck is going on? It is a wonder that my sponge has not gotten tangled yet. This is really mind-boggling. When did all this hair grow? It&#8217;s really weird for me because I actually groom frequently, and besides, I&#8217;m not even a hairy person, so it takes a long time for my hair to grow. The fact that I have so much hair there makes me feel like I have not groomed in months. Oh, goodness&#8230; has it really been months???<\/p>\n<p>If I had a husband, this would be the time he would have asked in a serious, matter-of-fact tone, <strong><em><span style=\"color:#000099;\">&#8220;Vera, are you trying to grow dada (dread locks) down there?&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/strong> But alas, there is no husband, so I must witness this abomination alone. Of course, I have gotten rid of the tropical rain forest. I am now so fresh and so clean. Luckily for me, I did not need the services of a professional lawn mower, neither did I need a bull dozer to get rid of the fallen trees (strands of hair).<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and by the way, I took a picture of the tropical rain forest and sent it to Busola &amp; Funmi for their viewing pleasure. Hehehehe. The last time I sent such a ridiculous picture, it was a picture of my poop, and I sent it because it (the poop) was unusually long. Busola happened to open the picture while she was eating. Let&#8217;s just say she has since banned me from sending picture messages to her phone. lol. But did that stop me? Nope?? Although, I&#8217;m now kinda wishing I didn&#8217;t&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>My people, please help me beg Busola ooo! She is threatening to show her husband a picture of my pubis. Busola, stop it oooo! And she&#8217;s saying she&#8217;ll take the picture to work to show everyone. They already think I&#8217;m crazy @ her job because she keeps telling them ridiculous stories of me. Busola, I&#8217;m sorry!!! Biko, don&#8217;t do this thing you&#8217;re threatening to do oh; it will ruin my reputation.  And Funmi is in support of this evil.  Sooooo not funny!!!  Busola said I should have thought about my reputation b4 sending the picture.  Kai&#8230; how I go take do damage control?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been kinda busy lately.
