Where shall I start 2 update ya?<\/p>\n<p>Ok, let&#8217;s start here: I went 4 the weddin (reception) wit Sola as I originally intended.  The invitation said 5pm, so I figured we&#8217;d get there like 6pm&#8230;or 6:30 @ its latest.  But as fate (or Sola and my scarf that refused 2 be tied) would have it, we gat there @ 7:30pm (2 and half hours after the stated time).  But guess wat?  They hadn&#8217;t even started!  They were still callin people 2 the high table, and there were still lots of seats&#8230;which meant we were too damn early.  We decided 2 go outside and talk and take silly pictures&#8230; u know.<\/p>\n<p>The weddin was aiight sha&#8230;coulda been better.  The dj played some songs a lil too long, but it was ok.  When the bride and groom changed in2 their traditionals, I wasn&#8217;t blown away @ all.  They wore all blue and it was too simple and too common and just too damn blue.  Oh well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The aso-ebis were the funniest ones.  I don&#8217;t know who told them those hats were cute.  I shit you not, but those hats were huge!  They were literally the size of baskets!  I couldn&#8217;t help but wonder&#8230;. what the hell were they thinking?<\/p>\n<p>On a positve note&#8230; I got a laptop!  Yes, in fact I am typing from it right this minute and it feels oh so good!  I got it as a belated birthday gift&#8230;. how sweet!  (And my birthday was in January).  I tell you, if things keep going this way, I would write the address of my dream home and car.  I&#8217;m pretty sure I will get it by my next birthday&#8230; abi what do you think?  Well, thank you, thank you, thank you for the lap top.  May God replinesh the pocket from where the money came from a million folds in Jesus name, Amen!<\/p>\n<p>This morning, we woke up 2 find the window of my mother&#8217;s truck shattered 2 pieces.  It musta happened some time between 1am and 6am (I&#8217;m guessin).  My mother came in from the wedding she attended at about 12am.  The window and mirror on her side were completely shattered; and it was obvious that it was not a mistake.  Probably some drunk teenagers who taught it was &#8216;cool&#8217; and fun.  Oh well, that&#8217;s Geico&#8217;s problem now; it&#8217;s a good thing mom has a comprehensive insurance.  Nawa o&#8230;. this country don mad finish.  How can some1 just walk up 2 a car and decide 2 break the window?  And u think we don&#8217;t have crazy people walkin d streets.  My mother&#8217;s car was neither the fanciest vehicle outside nor the biggest.  So I can be rest assured it was just a random act.  Those teens musta missed their antipsychotic meds.  I just hope they didn&#8217;t steal my &#8216;sweet mother&#8217; cd.  Well, I doubt that would be their typa music&#8230; but just in case sha.<\/p>\n<p>My house has 4 people instead of the regular two (mom and I).  My grandma is here and we also have a priest as a guest (he went 4 the wedding mom and grandma went 4).  He told me he was not comin home with mom yesterday, so when I came home from d wedding, I relaxed thinking there wuld only be women in the house.  I strutted my naked body 2 my mother&#8217;s room 2 gather all the stuff I left there, then I heard my mom&#8217;s voice as she was comin in2 the house.  I almost went out naked 2 say hi, but then I decided 2 tie the wrapper I saw on her bed.  Who did I see when I got 2 the door?  The priest!  Why didn&#8217;t mom call 2 tell me she was comin home wit a visitor&#8230;especially a man?!  That&#8217;s the rule we have in this house.  Anyways, thank God he didn&#8217;t see me naked sha&#8230;I dunno how I woulda been able 2 live wit that, 4 real.  That woulda really broken me down&#8230;.I can&#8217;t even imagine wat it woulda done 2 the priest.  Biko I cannot be responsible 4 a man&#8217;s decision to&#8230;.. well, let&#8217;s leave that alone 4 now b4 God wounds me this morning.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I believe that&#8217;s it 4 now. <\/p>\n<p>Oh!  I&#8217;m gettin ready 2 go 2 Igbo church.  It starts @ 1:30pm and it&#8217;s held every last sunday of the month.  Today, they will be celebrating mother&#8217;s day, so I would have  2 take pix of two wonderful women (mom &#038; grandmom) that love showin off&#8230;especially mom.  She&#8217;s about 2 call enterprise 2 bring her a rental car.  She&#8217;s currently on the phone wit the insurance people.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it 4 now. <\/p>\n<p>Stay in Touch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a weekend I had!
