I remember when tags used to fly around Blogville like it was the common cold, and we were all catching it. Everyone was doing one kind of tag or the other. I notice now that there’s been a Stylish and Versatile<\/em> award tag flying around. Close your eyes, Vera. If you don’t comment, no one would ever know you really knew about it<\/em>. Wrong!!!<\/span><\/strong> I was awarded tagged twice. \u00a0So, seven things about myself. I don’t even know what I’m going to tell you now that you don’t already know about me, but I’ll try.<\/p>\n

P.S. *INSERT IGBO GIRL ATTITUDE*<\/strong> Thanks to Just Joxy<\/a><\/strong> and Rose of Sharon<\/a><\/strong> for this award.<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0I can’t swim to save my life. I can’t even float. Learning to swim is on my to-do list for the summer.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Billie Jean is my favorite Michael Jackson song. Some day, I’ll feature it in Lyrics & Vera.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0I grew up in Jos, but I only speak a little bit of Hausa. Mu na ji Hausa kadan, kadan.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0I paint my toes all year round – winter, summer, spring, and fall.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0I’ve wanted to be all sorts of things: a\u00a0gynecologist, a lawyer, a doctor, a nurse, a dancer, a singer, a teacher, and much more.<\/p>\n

6. Most times, before I attend any party, I have to listen to “party music” long before the party. It puts me in the mood to party.<\/p>\n

7. \u00a0I am now 34, 832 words into my book manuscript.<\/p>\n

\n

Now, seeing as most people have already done this tag, I beg to bend the rules a bit. I’m not going to tag anyone, but if you’re reading this, consider yourself tagged. I guess you can always comment it anyway.<\/p>\n

P.S.<\/strong> Our sister blogger, Skinny Hipster<\/a><\/strong> is contesting for Style Blogger. It takes about five seconds to vote with your Facebook account . Just click on the heart. Click here<\/a><\/strong> to vote.<\/p>\n

P.P.S.<\/strong> It’s been a lottttt of fun reading the comments from the Verastic 5th anniversary giveaway. \u00a0The bad news is all good things must end. Wait, not all sha. I don’t want any good thing in my life to end. \u00a0Oh, but the good thing, however, is that you still have about twenty-four hours to mark present<\/em>. \u00a0Maybe your comment will be the 742nd one. \u00a0Click here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
