The ever so random Text

My dad just has one of those random days when he feels the need to disturb my sleep. Received a text this morning

Lo**********(dont worry about the pet name) how are you. Dont forget my coffee

Low: Morning dad, i wont, i will get it today

Dad: Oh by the way, if you come back home without cologne for me, lagos will EXPLODE.

Low: Ahh never, we cant let lagos explode. but Nigeria will suffer if i dont get my big birthday present oh.

Dad: One at a time jo.. u scratch my back, i scratch urs.

He is such a trip. Keep in mind, its the 4th cologne i have bought this year for him...i wonder if he sprays it at home for kicks.....

i wuvv my daddy!!!

A Diva in the making

Been having a shitty day coz its that time of the month and its sparing me no mercy. Cant understand why it has to be so painful and i get the constant 'dont worry , it means childbirth will be easy for you'. Whats that got to do with....ANYTHINGAnyways, got a text that really brightened my day. My God daughter's mother says in the text
'Lobster(ok pls dont ask me why she calls me that, somehow i must look like something that has claws), i dont know what you put in the leggings you bought for baby Dee but everytime she wears them, she refuses to take them off. Sunday was the height, she just kept crying'

You cant imagine the smile i had on my face. I think it beats the day i spoke with her on the phone when her mom told me she had started making complete sentence and she says to me 'WHAT IS YOUR NAME'. In an instant i became the child beaming from ear to ear...

She knows what looks good on her and is sticking to it!!!!!!

TUM-TUM

Its been too long, i know. Cant really say i have been busy, but i have been busy..lol. Not much's been happening. Settled into my new flat and im done with summer school. Finally found a gym close by and decided to join. Its me and this flab. I promise myself a hard knock if i fall short of my expectations. God help me.

Decided to go for dinner with a friend and her friends (blogville people by the way) and it was fun riding in the car till we got dumped by URS TRULY!!-NONI..loll yes im putting u on BLAST! Anyways she was instantly forgiven the moment i tasted my Nkwobi meal..Ibo peeeps i give u guys HAND ABEG...that food is to die for...and no i mean it..DIE FOR..so now im on my knees begging for the recipe as i would like to add that to the list of things i can rightfully boast about in the kitchen..so pls someone help me out..

So it seems like its yet another trip back home for me..I must say, i would really love to be the cast of RENT-A-GHOST right now....sitting on that plane for X amount of hours isnt my idea of....FUN!
peace!

The one about the birthstones and some

Hiya people. Its been a crazy week and i tell you I hope i never rememberrrr anything that went on last week. Long story cut short. It wasnt my best week ever.

On to better things. I started a thread on facebook(crackbook) and im basically looking for born in different months who have a thing or two to say about their birthstones. Plsss no WIKIPEDIAS all up in this peice oh. Its somewhat a lil competition and yes there is a price. Now these are the instructions

In a sentence please tell me about your birthstone and why you think it's the best among the rest. In another short phrase preferably 2-5 words write a lil slogan with your birthstone included in it.
For example..ALL ABOUT PERIDOT.
I suggest you keep it between 2-5 but i can accept 6 words. You write me a mini epistle...nah nah nah!!!!
The person with the best slogan will def win a price and trust me, you won't be disappointed. I just hope whoever u are you dont live in INDIA oh..loll shipping and handling o di kwa expensive!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright tell ur friends, particpate. It should be fun. At the moment Taureanminx has the an interesting one 'Love, Emerald!
I really like. Can you beat that?

The circles in Life

Why does life seem like a race that'll never end.
You reac a certain point only to realise you simply have to start from the beginning.
The problem is, you know in your heart you have to run the race the same way you always have.
So why run this race when the result would mean you have to start over and over and over and over and over ........again

IM SORRY..BUT

I JUST HAVE TO DISGRACE EVERYONEEE IN THIS VIDEO..INCLUDING MYSELF!!!!! Its things like this that make me just know that i need to SHED my baby fat!!!, things like this make me realise i need to live life a little and not worry, things like this that make me realise i have the CRAZIESTT set of friends and i cant trade them for anything

DIAMONDHAWK...u were the first to see this and after persuading me, i guess if i ever run for president i will never win!!!!!!! enjoy
Fayoke's 25th, after some wine (i dont drink my d way so i really had no excuse, and nice korean food in lagos, we decided to sing our hearts out) sept 2005

P.S for all u friends that saw me at my weight peak and didnt SHUT my mouth from eating..u r WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BFF

The first time
I just got out of 'lesson' after a rough 3 hrs in class and fayoke and i had no idea what the hell d guy was teaching us. We walked out waiting for the driver when we saw two other girls waiting. One thing led to another and we chatted and went our separate ways. Little coincidence, no? But later got home to find the same girls lived in the same estate as us. bigger coincidence, we lived directly opposite each other. start of a new friendship

Moments
Each day passed and we stayed tight, but something separated me and Jem from the others. Although Fayoke was already my sister, i saw something i didnt see in anyone in Jem. she was too calm for words. But underneath her skin was a tough woman, with crazy abilities when she decided to unleash. We stayed up talking, gisting, sleeping over and getting into trouble together. It was the first time i ever felt like i had a best friend.

THE MOMENT
When decisions had to be made. Jem breaks the news that she was relocating to the states. Wow that was a huge blow for me. While i had other friends, she was just someone i was used to seeing after seeing the 'then' Mr. it was like second nature. so how was i supposed to go ahead without seeing her ? I remember getting into an argument with her when i felt she was spending her last days with a random guy as opposed to spending time with me. I remember she laughed about it and told me i was dreaming everything in my head as she spent the week sleeping over. I guess i was just too upset that she had to go. I remember we wrote letters to each other to remind ourselves of little things/codes only both of us knew about. I remember we had this secret code of 'WHO KILLED CHICKENS'..lollll... I remember the night she had to go. She left a picture for me and i had 2 pin holders shaped as dogs. I gave her one so she could always remember somewhere out there, i had the other. I remember the last moments being very silent. That was Jem for u..would never let you catch her in a moment .

YEARS GO BY
I moved out, kept in touch when i could and she did the same. I guess after not speaking for almost 5 yrs and not seeing each other, we had gotten over the BFF issue, but i always had her in my heart. I lost touch again and this time i just gave up concluding that maybe she was just someone who was meant to be in my life for a season.

HERE AND NOW
The power of hi5, another 5 years later, i get a friend request from Jem. I was too shocked. Not because i got the request but because a day or two b4 that, i had thot about her and wondered what she was doing with herself. She has a baby now. He is a sweetheart from the pictures. I emailed her, instant reply and boom it was back to phone calls like we never lost contact. We tried to relive those past moments again and boy was it fun.This time i will try my best to stay in touch as much as i can

Years, trials and tribulations later, i am happy Jem came into my life. Whether or not she is here to stay, i cherish those moments with her and would never trade it for anything. To my BFF, you showed me how 'simple' friendship' could be yet rewarding.muah!

The Holiday Text

My dad was 'KIND' enough to wake me up at 7.30 with this text

'Good morning my darling RLA. I'm happy to let you know that we are on holiday today again. We are a country of holidays while you live in a country of workaholics. So keep working.! Before i forget, HOW YOU DEY? From your favorite man.'

'How did he want me to reply him' i thought

'Hi big guy,na you know oh. While you have your numerous holidays, pls let us not forget that you have no LIGHT, WEE on the other hand are a country of LIGHT so i'll keep living here, Before i forget, I AM FINE OHHH, U NKO..'

he didnt even bother replying...or maybe he hasnt been able to charge his phone.

My dad the character.

The cure and the cause

Let me get this outta the way first. Happy Birthday Mona !!! Hope u have a lovely day

I love music. I really do. I bop to anything and i always have my phases. I love wierd songs too, songs that when i am singing everyone's going HUH??..loll yeah i just do.
I moved to London and i hear a new set of songs and i cant STAND these songs whatever genre they are i dont know but its typical to see me dancing and when they start to play the 'songs' i just PAM (Bobby, u planted a seed..lol). Anyways the moral of this story is i have really not liked these 'london' songs....UNTIL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

This one song just gets ur head moving and u cant control it. Its like im telling myself Low come on b brave, u cant like this song oh but nooo its keeps bopping like dum dum dum....kaiii for the life of me can i just discipline myself. Anyways , a long drive with Bims n Baby mama on sunday and i hear the song in a different environ than i had in d past and the song became...SWEETER!!!!!!!!!!!...kai i was dying inside coz first i didnt even know the lyrics to google later talkless of the artist..so i decided to listen carefully.....and all i kept hearin was....UR LOVE AWAY....ur love away.....

So last night i decided to google it..but Google couldnt save me oh....i tried Love (stupid me) and of course EVERY GADDEM came up, i was frustrated but i didnt wanna give up....It was time to 'PHONE A FRIEND'....Omo asked me to sing the song and i was like hmm ok i know d beat goes dum, dum du du du dum...then ur love awayyy are d only words i know.....She started laughing when i tried to sing it....(i blame u not Omo, west african idol auditioners aint gat shit on me). So rather than have her kill my spirit, i turned to another friend....and all i had to say was....'.......d song that goes Ur love away'..AND the moment was too good to b true pple , she replied 'YEAH I HAVE IT, LET ME SYNC U IN ON MSN'.............................................
PPLE the moment was magical. I know u have those moments when u r trying to remember something but cant and it stays on ur mind till u get it. Well it was one of those moments....

FISH GO DEEP.....THE CURE AND THE CAUSE
Im still bopping and smile when d singer says....'don't take....YOUR LOVE AWAY, YOUR LOVE AWAY'......

Who's had the best weekend ever.

I did I did!!!!!!
Ok probably not the best but i loved every minute of it.
I actually thot my weekend was going to be a drag as i had nothing planned to do. Got a few hopes of the Mr making it into town but all that was shattered as he was not allowed to take a break from work.........Or so i thot!!!

Not sure i let everyone in on what i gave up for lent. May sound easy to some pple but i overcame my love for MEAT. I am a beef, chicken, pork lover. I live for MEAT. I can be stupidly hungry and wont eat if there is meat on my plate. It just cant happen. So i decided to give it up for the period. So u can imagine my plans for post-lent. Anyone who knew always asked what my plans were and i always said 'Ild be eating a live COW' ...i didnt fail pple. I went from steak, to ox tail to chicken wings to sharwama, i was on a roll. AND IM NOT DONE..It also taught me alot though. If anyone had told me i could do this for even 5 days i would have had a hearty laugh but i did overcome the 40 days and i thank God for the strength.

Friday night, spent the night as my girls and we gisted till late in the morning as we had nothing to do. Spoke to the mr the night b4 and he had a terrible day 'working' as usual. Anyhoo 6.30 next morning he calls me. He is a morning PIDGEON..can never sleep and always thinks its best to wake ME up..anyways im thinking normal convo is what we would have until i hear 'ok get up and start going home oh....i replied 'huh, at 6.30?.he goes 'yeah, im around'...im like 'around where' (at this point i opened both eyes to look round the room'). He explained he was at the airport and if i didnt belive to dial the num he called from. So when he hung up i called his Lagos nums which were all off and i dialled the last received num and he picked up. I still didnt belive it. The 'jessica' in me now asked him to go near a 'WELCOME TO HEATHROW SIGN' maybe i could 'HEAR' it..lolllllllllll..forgive me pls....'I JUST WOKE UP'.......Later on i turned to my friend who is also his friend and told her the Mr was around and she goes ' i know, it was meant to be a surprise'..........I was still in shock but i woke up to get dressed to go home and wait for him. I got a text from my mom...'good morning, so ANY NEWS??. thank you so much for making my day yesterday (it was her birthday the day b4), so ANY NEWS???... thats when i realised everyone was in on the surprise....EXCEPT ME....i loved it!!! (blush)

Monday....picnic with dimples, bims, Inspi and EVERYONE. trust me to have a plate of MEAT only. WE played badminton. Its a shame i couldnt see the 'BALL' if not i would have won oh!!!! We played give us a clue and trust INSPI TO SCATTER THE SHOW.....The movie was Pooty Tang...Somehow she described the movie by touching the grass and hopping in the air..PLS DONT ASK......Deso had to describe Chronicles of Narnia and she described the movie as having 9 WORDS in it......it was crazy...Highlight of the day, i won the Marathon race!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!

Had a blast and some.........
Back to real 'tin's like...EDUCATION!!
Hope u guys had a lovely easter

NOW THAT'S HOT!

As a result of this seasonal insomnia that i normally get , i decided to share a few things with you with something i love love love, and i love love love. BEAUTY AND ESTHETICS.

I actually tried to do a monthly write up on new things i learnt while i was going thru the hi5 phase but i slacked of course once i got to blogspot. Anyways i think i would take on the mission again and make sure i stick to it.

Newest Make-up item i am addicted to? Its the MAC fluidline. Basically its an eye liner in form of a gel formula and its GRRRRREEAAT! i love the fact that i put it on and it makes a whole lot of difference in my appearance. Also made a promise that i would buy one tub each month. So far i have gotten them in 3 colours. Thanks to Miss Edozien who fell in love instantly, she prompted me to buy more..(do u have ulterior motives madam?)... So blacktrack, Royalwink, and Jadeeye are what i have acquired so far. So for all u eye lining lovers who cant do without them, i suggest to try this bad boy.Relatively priced at $14 and £10. I would also advice to buy the slant brush if you dont have it coz you would need an applicator. I say a slant brush for the non pros who have 'shaky' hands when it comes to drawing lines. Its alot easier and it saves time.Lemme know if anyone picks it up.ENJOY

Pheww..this was/is my first true passion and im getting all excited talking about it...Def try and make this entry monthly...Any questions , pls feel free!

FACIALLY YOURS!

So Proud to be Nigerian

Don't intend to make this a long write-up, simply because too many people have talked about it and will continue too.

I find myself testing myself sometimes when i have a hard situation coz i imagine what you would do. Thank you.

The phone call

My friend shared this sweet story with me and i decided to share...

While attending a wedding, Friend sits beside an elderly couple who had been conversing for a while. Friend noticed the woman checking her phone constantly, placing it on the table and checking again. Finally she taps husband and tells him that no one had called her since they had been at the wedding. They laughed about it and the husband walks out of the reception

Few minutes later, her phone rings and she picks up , 'hello, yes' and she starts to laugh. Friend notices woman looks towards a certain direction and realises...Husband had gotten up to call wife.The phone call she had been waiting for.

After XXX years of marriage, this couple were still able to make each other smile.

May we all get our personal phone calls.

The Suck Up Trick

Many people (guys in general) that i have spoken to in recent times always say the most difficult thing about moving back home to Nigeria is the idea that they have to answer to people. They dont understand why Nigerians just enjoy people sucking up to them. I experienced it first hand in my NYSC days. If u needed something to be done quick. You just had to get ready to kiss some ass. Be it the Director, ur fellow corpers, hey even the gatemen at NYSC camp. Sometimes it paid off to suck up, sometimes it just wasnt worth it.

I also experienced it at my job placement. It seemed like i was trying hard to be 'nicer' and hard working than i could possibly be simply because i didnt want anyone tagging me as the Boss's neice . I would come in and greet everyone but somehow only the men responded properly. The women in my department had a way of letting me know with their little nods that ' i wasn't shit'..loll but hey i didnt even let that get to me as i just sat in my space and faced my Laptop.

There was an incident where they turned all the 'cooling' systems to my direction. Not sure if they got a memo that i was from antartica oh. Anyways i turned everything off and all broke loose. 'Lola jwyw qwyuwq uqw ARGHHH'...i stood there staring like....HUH...Anyhoo long story cut short, i reported the raging individual to my boss's secretary and just asked him to warn her nicely coz the day i finally decide to 'speak back', it wont be pretty. There would be no 'AM I UR MATE' going up in there.

The sec finally talks to me later n explains that they r just bitter women on the floor n that he had spoken to her, but that in the meantime, i should try and hang out with them during Lunch break.........................I WAS LIKE HUH? ohhhhh so THATS the problem, that i dont come up to them and suck up and hang out. Lets just say i made sure from that day , i took my lunch to the 19TH floor. foolish pple.

Another incident i had was way back in high school. It was a task getting my dad to reason with me on moving to boarding house. He could not fathom why he would allow his only girl go to boarding house to 'do whatever it was that i was so interested in'. Of course i just couldnt tell him that EVERYONE n their mama was in boarding house i always just felt like i was missing out on the eventful things that used to occur. After a few terms of Late school bus, late driver, Traffic gbo gbo e, he finally allowed me in SS1 to go. I WAS ESTATIC..now no one would be jisting me about the two classmates they caught 'cutting shows' at night, as i would see it first hand. HA....

Anyhoo my first night was great...or so i thot. I laid my bed, hooked up my drawer (wait they used to call it another word then) and got ready to jist with my new roomies. Thats when i heard someone scream 'Soroh house girls..LIGHTS OUT, if i catch anyone up, u will see what i will do to you'. Ok i didnt quite get what you could possibly do to me as i was one of those girls who always had a 'big egbon' in every set to sort me out till i got to the Snr level.
Back to my story, so i jumped on my bed and got out some digestive and started chowing down, coz i really wasnt feeling sleepy so why did she have to force me to sleep. While i started chowing down i started talking to my bunkmate, cant really remember how long we spoke for but the girl finally walks into the room, pointed at me n told me to follow her. I got to the front of her room and met other girls standing there. She instructed us to position ourselves n start frog jumpin. 'Mo gbe......why now...Its late' i thought. ' i wont be able to get enough sleep tonight'...Fast forward 1 hr later she released us................ I had a mental breakdown. Maybe this was what my dad was trying to avoid but it was too late now. so i had to strategize. I couldnt go down like that. I had to fix things ASAP!!!..THEN IT CAME TO ME.....

4 DAYS LATER.....
I MADE HER A PLEA TO BE MY SCHOOL MUMMY!
I never frog jumped again........at least not from her.

Happy birthday Dimples....How does it feel to be ..16 AGAIN..loll...see u later tonight. U seafood sell outs..lol...

So today is the beginning of my hair revival. Getting a perm and project hair love begins..wish me luck

I NEED A 'HAIR-O-LUTION'

I cant seem to save my hair for shee shee and its becoming a pain in the ass.

I have tried everything, u name it..ok i lie, i have not tried EVERYTHING but u get my drift.

I was reading the back of my Dr miracle hot gro conditioner and it says 'for best results, use the following in the Dr miracle range'

Ok i happen to see that on every product so is it really true???

I am about to take my braids off and i have decided to SEEK HELP.....and who better to ask than u fabulous ladies who care so much about their hair (coz i could really care less about mine)

Should i stick to certain products and use it religiously? That would mean no braids, weave for a hot minute...

The first 3 that come to mind are DR MIRACLE'S , ORGANIC ROOT STIMULATOR and DOO GRO...anyone with any experience with these products pls share .....any testimonies...plsss spill. I am desperate.

Oh before i forget.......my scalp situation does not help matters so yeahhh..HELP..

patiently awaiting ur recommendations

Brother and Sister....Its the work of the devil!

The devil made me remember the name of the restuarant
The devil made me look at the menu
The devil made me fixated on the dessert section
The devil made me notice the letters C.-H.-.E-E-S-E.....
The devil made me call on the waiter
The devil.....u seee...hmmm Made me spell the name right.
The devil made me wait 'patiently' after i had a meal
The devil still gave me room in my tummy
The devil made me..Pick up my fork
The devil made me have a taste
The devil made me love it.
The devil made me....LOVE IT
The devil made me.......LUUURRRRVVVVV HITTT!!!
The devil made me take the number of the restuarant
I get home feeling low and wondering where my determination was.
If you see me brother and sister and you wonder why i havent lost this weight.....
IT'S THE WORK OF THE DEVIL!

DECIEVER OSHI!

****ODE TO DULCE DE LECHE CHEESECAKE*********

Hungry.....But cant grab a snickers

Its Day 3 of my diet and.........IT's been T-O-U-G-H. I cant belive that we have gotten to this stage where its easy to put the weight on but darn hard to get it off. I am constantly thinking about food. But i know if i want this 'baby fat' to come off, i gotta put my mind to it. Many people have been helpful coz everytime i try to touch food i quickly log on to my msn n have a lil chat. I end up eating carrot sticks.

Amongst the many things i have decided to give up during the lenten season, i decided to give up something 'very very' dear to me. I choose to keep this on the hush hush till im able to achieve the goal. But i must say, its not been easy.

I know if i put my mind to exercising, i probably would lose a lil more than i expect...but i cant. I cant run, i cant stay on the threadmill for 2 mins, i cant do crunches, i just cant. I try everytime but somehow i relapse badly. I have decided rather than take the bus from my house to the station which is literally a 2 mins bus ride, i might as well walk to the station. But how do i walk in this nonsense cold? How do i get there and not feel like a refreshingly cold CHERRY COKE?... Lord help me during my trying times.

WHEETABIX....My new best friend. The %^&* is soooo nasty but i just keep eating it. I have been hearing of the 'wonderful' things fibre can do to my body, so if it means i become one with wheat, then so be it. Im gonna treat that taste like its a dulce de leche slice of cheesecake in my mouth!

I'll keep you posted.
In Azima the bitch's words....'I'll stay slim baby'

THE SUPPORTERS CLUB AND THE 3 NIGERIAN BLONDES!

I can’t particularly say I am a girly girl. I mean I can get my hair done very often but I wont be caught, curling it everyday, brushing it every minute, you def won’t see me painting my nails and all that good stuff. But when it comes to one subject, I def am the girly girl. SPORTS.

Sports……how do I start this? I just DON’T LIKE SPORTS. It’s sweaty, it’s lengthy, its everything I don’t have patience for basically. Let me narrow it down to a sport I know my country people love. SOCCER

Soccer, I really just get the jist of the sport. First of all I always feel like it’s staged. One minute the ball is constantly on side of the field and never gets in the ‘feet’ of the opponent, next minute its left to right to left. I mean what is it?. I just always thought sports was a waste of time…until I met….My MR

My Mr, since the first day we met, he let me know how much of a fan he was. I actually thought it was a joke but after many years of knowing him, I knew…Homeboy was not playing. Its funny how when a game comes on, he forgets about everything else he has to do…brushes me off if im not interested to watch and focuses on the tv. I owe this unfortunate love to ARSENAL

Arsenal is what my Mr breathes. When they win a match. Ah its heaven around us. They lose? Hmmmm o di kwa no love for ‘us’ oh. A normal conversation with us normally goes

Mr: M, We are playing tonight oh. Around 7.45 so I have to be back home
Low: Oh ‘we’ are playing. Eya GOOO GUNNERS????
Mr: hmm olodo, you just want to feel among
Low: (in my silent thoughts, ‘oh you are not feeling among by saying WE) lolll Ok then

It used to get to him when I had no interest whatsoever in the games and I always wondered why he felt so strongly about it. Eventually, I have decided to give up my girly ‘girl’ self and support ‘US’ when ‘WE’ play. It doesn’t hurt to try and learn right. Hey they won last week and I called dimples to throw it in her face lolll (Ok let me not even go on about the constant debates guys have with the teams they love.) I might not watch the entire game but ill take baby steps like HENRY IS #14!!!!!!!!!!! It’s a start for me. Would love to see the Mr’s face when I become….A GUNNER FOR LIFE

Moving on to pressing issues. I had a conversation with two friends B.H and D. After so much plea, I have decided to not disclose of their names as they might be forever disgraced if I do. It was a conversation about us taking a trip to a near European country.

B.H: Ahh Glo (B.H’s cousin who was on the phone) said we should go to Spain but she was asking if its normally hot in spain.
Low: I think so..i’m not sure tho

B.H: Glo said not all parts but we can go to south of spain maybe it will b hot

At this point we all had that confused look like HUH?? SOUTH, SPAIN? How does that automatically mean it’s hot?

So I decided to throw in my first smart statement, or so I thought

Low: But Spain is near Africa right, so I’m sure it’s hot.
I really don’t know why that came out of my mouth, but it did.

B.H: (starts laughing. For someone who heard how dumb my statement sounded, comes up with a ‘smarter’ statement)

B.H: Yeah but UK is close to Spain so we are in the west. Hence why they say it’s a Western world!

I started choking coz at this point, I knew my statement was not closeeee in dumb ratings to the trash B.H just said. But trust D who had been silent since to SEAL THE DEAL.

D: Why are you laughing? It’s really called the WEST END now?

Andddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd CUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny how I thought I would not survive the statement I made…BUT see how I triumphed!..lolll

FLAME?

Ok i just had to scribble a lilllllllll bit.

In stats class. Yes i know. I dont understand math but i am not listening at all. God help me.
Anyhoo, i have 2 crazy people next to me. I am checking online for sewing for dummies, the other girl is staring at her engagement ring and the guy simply just sent us back to the 80s. he just asked who knows the game FLAME?

I screamed..
Does anyone remember it. You write your name and a dude's name and simply cross like letters, then associate the remaining numbers with a letter in the word FLAME. Just had to do mine and the Mr's

HUH...ENEMIES???????????????????????
NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..LOL

updates..........and BLENDER BLUNDERS

WITH THAT BEING SAID



Just had a conversation with Perc-bols and she went on about our girl portable's famous moi moi and some ordeal she had with yuwee's blender. It was funny because i had the same experience not too long ago so imma make this short and sweet coz Low is having one of those Low days where my back's gotten the best of me.

This weekend has been the coldest weekend so far and i hate to say, im beginning to NOT like cold weather. A situation where my ears feel like they have been frost bitten aint so cute. Anyhoo this leads to my horrific experience with my blender.

Went out saturday for grocery shopping. Couldnt do much as i have decided this year is a year oh healthy eating. So looking at the stuff and not being able to buy much was pretty upsetting. Another problem i had was shopping for one...it is not fun at all. I dont know how to cook anything but breakfast for one so i really didnt see the point of buying much onlt to throw it away in a few weeks.Anyways i decided i was gonna throw down some of my delicious spicy spaghetti.

Got the peppers, onions and what not and headed straight home to start cooking. I brought out the blender and placed in all the 'blendables'. While i was blending, i remembered one time when Femi had some major problems with her blender back in Maryland, a lil chuckle chuckless and i proceeded to wash up some dishes be4 the roomie offers to help 'wash and wipe'.

All of a sudden i hear 'jashdgaw huyewhy da yukesyau\ed wuie', my blender had gone MAD. i quickly switched it off and looked around to find the problem. Nothing from the switch, then i look at the blender and realised the top plastic bit of the lid was missing. Looked around a lil bit but didnt have to look much to figure out that it had..blended up with the peppers IN the blender. I means come onnnn..NOT TODAY...I thot i could save it so i dug in and started picking out the broken plastics, but some of them had broken into little bits that unless i wanted to eat SPICY PLASTIC SPAGHETTI, there was no point trying to use any of it..so down the drain it went!....on a cold saturday, i had to give up my dreams of having a nice dinner for one!!!....Funny thing is it was the same thing that happened to Femi that i thot about a few mins b4 the mishap. Only difference? We actually ATE the noodles and stew and were wondering where little 'bones' came from in the stew!

P.S It is NOT in anyway a Jessica moment (Ruby) before u start calling me Ode, Dumb red head and all your silly names u have for me.
