Summer 2010...It's a wrap!

My heading is pretty self-explanatory. Summer is officially over. Mixed feelings of course. Wish holidays never end. But I also can't wait to get back home to see my friends (though very few, LOL) and just do my Abuja thing. Those of you who know me in Abuja know that I never dull myself there. LOL :P

Well, it has been an amazing summer out here. Got to see friends and family I haven't seen in ages, the SHOPPING was damn wonderful, the wonderful places we visited, and the chance to just take a break from the hustle and stress of Nigeria. All of that was not bad at all!

6 weeks. Sigh. It has seemed so long and yet it feels like time just flew by. If my aunts and cousins read my blog, I would give the "thank you" speech, but they don't so doing that would probably annoy y'all and it would be pointless. LOL.

The one person I do have to thank on here whether y'all like it or not, is GOD. He made this entire summer possible; financially, with journey mercies for all our traveling, good health, e.t.c. Never doubt that there is a God, people. He is good to those that love him. My family and I are living proof of that!

Well before I get all preachy on y'all, I have finally completed the summer album this morning. A whooping 153 photos but they are all special and I just had to share with friends what an amazing vacation it was. Of course, it's a Facebook album so only friends on Facebook can see it. Feel free to add me though and if you look presentable (LOL jokes oh!) I will add you and you too can enjoy the pics.

Summer 2010...it's a WRAP! X

Things that are not just okay;

• Never wanting to do stuff for people but always expecting them to do stuff for you
• Spending forever in a mall when you only have 5 things or less to buy
• Talking off point for thirty minutes
• Whining
• Wasting ages deciding between three colors of the same shirt
• Using the first hour and thirty minutes of a church service to do things other than preaching the word
• Asking someone what to do and when you're told, you refuse to listen to the person's suggestions. Why did you ask then?
• Eating too much eggs
• Eating too much
• Experiencing all of the above in ONE day!

Who is the stupid one?

"Our love is like NEPA and right now, they have taken the light but there isn't enough fuel to turn on the generator."

"We are across a bridge now and the other side is where YOU need to be. I am just not sure if I am meant to take you over to that side."

This one's the best.

Girl: Why you chatting up a babe on your Facebook wall?

Boy: Babe, I was just testing my phone because that's when I set up my BB. It was a long time ago and it means nothing.

When guys say these things to girls, I just wanna know one thing. Are they the stupid ones or do they actually think its us ladies that are stupid???

Lord knows I have heard it all from the guys I have dated! They give the stupidest reasons/ excuses and leave me wondering why someone would even come up with anything so daft, yet say it to ME! Surely, after being with me shouldn't they have picked up that one thing I am is SMART?

It also makes me angry cause when I mess up and its time to cover up, I go all out! Like I come up with some bad story that convinces the guy that he was wrong in the first place. But the point is I respect their brainwork to come up with a decent lie. I don't take 'em for granted by saying something as stupid as "it was a while ago when I just activated my BB and I was only checking to see if when I add him, it would work". What kind of bullocks is that!

Maybe some ditzy girls, desperate for love and ready to believe anything can buy such crap and that is what has encouraged guys to talk nonsense like that. However, I feel it is important for dudes to take note of the smart women and the ones who are not going to buy that and do a better job! You can't say stuff like that to someone with a working brain!

I hope the guys read this and start to come up with better lies and excuses for stuff. At least, if they want to prove that they are not stupid; cause it sure isn't me! Xxx

How many is MANY?

This morning my mum, my aunt and I were driving back from the bus station after dropping my friend off. They started a very interesting discussion about their lives and my aunt made a comment to my mum that she feels she has the ideal life because she has just two kids. LOL. My mum retorted saying many people often wonder why she has "just" two kids, isn't she going to have another one? I didn't join in the conversation but I listened intently and it got me thinking. Yup, I drifted off.

I started wondering how many kids I would like to have and if I would later feel unsatisfied with the number like my mum and aunt seem to be. My sister Rachel wants a brood if possible (God forbid, LOL) and Bella says she can handle 4 at most but I think I would prefer a small family.

Number 1, I am not really a child person. Yes, it is not a crime. Don't know why there is a notion that all women are baby crazy. I sure as hell am not! I only like real cute kids that I am related to. It's mean but it is the truth. Secondly, I feel more in control when there isn't too much mayhem and anything more than 3 kids is a circus to me. If I had four kids, especially four kids without too much gap in their ages, I may lose it! LOL.

For me, the ideal number of kids is 2. But as I would like to have both sexes, and I really want two girls cause I think sisters are too cute (I would know! LOL), I have decided on a boy and two girls :D How funny would it be if 15 years from now, I have 6!

Okay, not so funny. Xxx
