Can you believe that one of the organizers sef didn&#8217;t come till 8pm&#8230;even though she was the one who even said it should start @ 4pm.  Which kin rubbish be that?  I mean, I&#8217;m the queen of African time, but damn!&#8230;. not when I am even the organizer sef.  Well, I guess I can&#8217;t be too surprised.  My aunt sef came 2 hours late for her own wedding.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, the bride was really surprised sha, but mehn, by the time they started, I was so sleepy.  You know I was still tired from yesterday&#8217;s event.  No1 thought about bringin a camera 2 the shower, but thank God I brought mine, so once again, I became the photographer.  Unpaid photographer o!<\/p>\n<p>When the bride was on her way in2 the house, we all had 2 be quiet of course, and I positioned myself in front of the door, so I could take pictures of the surprised face of the bride.  While we were all in suspense awaiting the grand jury, some lady asked &#8220;what are we gonna say when she comes in?&#8221;  DUH!!!!!!!!!!  It&#8217;s a surprise party&#8230;. what the hell else are you supposed to say other than &#8220;surprise!&#8221;.  Finally, she came up with the not-so-bright idea that as soon as the bride walks in, we should say &#8220;Happy Bridal Shower&#8230;Surprise!&#8221;  Yeah right!  Who has time 4 all that?  Every1 agreed 2 say it sha, but as soon as the bride walked in, we all said &#8220;surprise!&#8221;  I guess it was just a case of reflex. <\/p>\n<p>I was so tired that I didn&#8217;t even eat (even though I was really hungry).  I just took pictures and pictures and pictures, and bonded with some cute, adorable kids.  I just kept looking @ them and imagining myself as a mother.  I bet I would be one hell of a cool mom&#8230;.don&#8217;t u think so?  Well, who cares what you think?  I think &#8230; in fact, I KNOW I will be a cool mom.  I&#8217;ll be a goofy mom and I&#8217;ll act silly with my kids.  My husband would probably just shake his head every time he sees me and the kids acting silly.  But anyways&#8230; enuff of my fantasy&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Back 2 reality.  We left d place at about 8:45pm.  The first thing I did when I got home was to take off my heels.  Why do I always put myself through torture ehn?  I wore heels yesterday and I have not fully recovered from that one, and then today I put on another pair.  Nawa 4 me o!<\/p>\n<p>I kinda feel like typing my book, but I honestly cannot stand another day of typing on this desktop.  I feel like typing it but not in my house; but how man pikin go fit do that one without a lap top?  This desk top box I have is kinda 2 heavy 2 be lifted and taken 2 barnes &#038; nobles (I love that store!). <\/p>\n<p>Anyways, we go yarn tomorrow.  I&#8217;m tired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We finally got 2 the bridal shower @ about 5pm, but it didn&#8217;t start till like 7:00.
