All sorts

Not Random, just different stuffs in my head at the moment:

I no longer work directly under my boss...I have another boss now...don't think we're going to work out well, she already looks at me funny.

Really sad about the people they just let go...those were cool people...but i still don't understand the reason, if you're letting go people, why hire these new ones? Admissions director is just a name...i'm going to start counting how many new people she brings in...*hiss*

Mr. B has been arrested in nigeria, i honestly hope that for everyone's sake, they can work things out...really praying and counting on God and Commissioner to help the poor guy.

Is hoping/praying the Mr. starts to feel better...sick people make me scared...

I'm really sleepy right now and need for 5 o'clock to come soonest!

Does not plan to pack up anything to the new school, everything in this station is going just like that...why would i want to empty cabinets full of folders and then plan to put things back...i already have a problem with folding clothes at home when i put them out....

I can feel aunty flo coming and just need her to come already...all these spots on my face and the way i'm eating...

I don't really want to go all the way out of town to visit daddy IB...if they couldn't reach me since he got here, they should have called daddy schic to ask for my right number...now i have to go out of my way to go visit them before saturday...*his*

I'm in need of money badly or maybe a second job

I wanna go back to school. Not sure if i want to do a PHD or just some sort of certification.

I've become even more convinced of what i'm supposed to be doing...thank you Lord

Maybe i should just risk it and go back to Nigeria...ok, maybe after i can pay of this one loan...

Finally decided that i'm no longer interested in doing aso-ebi with anyone...this summer has not been that bad though, compare to other summers:

• A's wedding $80 aso ebi & gele - sewn in nigeria
• T's wedding $25 ankara - sewing $60.00
• O's 50th b/day - $40 aso ebi & gele sewn in nigeria

Aso ebi that i did not accept:

1. AY's wedding - $75.00 what's the point, it's the same day as A's wedding, and i already have A's aso-ebi, even though A's mother forced it on me...i'll be going from one to the other
2. T's gele - $25.00i can't and don't like tying the thing anyway
3. The other T's wedding - after spending all that money going to the wedding, no way would i buy aso ebi for $150.00 again...
4. V's wedding - $45.00 - thank God she called me too late and i could say no!

Must be sign that Mr. is getting better...sick people sha don't eat plaintain and just called me asking for plaintains...*hiss*

Granma

I lost my grandmother this past weekend and it honestly makes me very sad even though she has lived a life well spent and died at a very good age, she was the only grand parent i knew and i loved her dearly.... i also pray for God to spare me too to see that age....

I don't think there is a single grandchild, either direct or indirect grandchild that has not had a relationship with Maami (lol, that's what she was fondly called by all...lol...well, except for daddy who calls her mama)

I remember when mother passed, we had to make visits to maami every other week...funny, even though the house was not what we were used to, i remember we all looked forward to going...and occassionally spending the entire weekend with her because it would be a weekend full of goodies.

Maami had a "shop" attached to the house, right in front of her house and as long as there were goodies there, we got some of everything. I also remember maami making lunch and dinner for us herself even though she had a helper. She personally made amala and ewedu for us one time. I know my brother and i couldn't hurt her feelings by telling her we didn't like it much, especially since she wanted to make it herself so we shoved it down our throats just like that...and it really was good...maybe the fact that it everyting was done outside behind the house gave it a different taste...a lot of nigerians say food from outside joints are nicer...the food had that element.

I remember daddy sending maami some money through the driver when he took us down to her, and she always took out of the money and gave us like 20 naira each which was sure a lot fo money then to spend on chocomilo, buttermint, malta sweets and "minerals" (soda).

I could keep going with stories from maami...like how dad told her to stop sending eggs and chickens to us so that she can sell them to make a profit...imagine distributing all these to her all her childrens home....what's left to sell? Ok, so i've got to go back to work now...

Maami, I'm glad you've gone to rest now because i understand the pain you were in during your last days here on earth....i think many will testify to the life you've lived and the fear of God in your heart that you taught us all...I pray that if the Lord comes before my time here on earth, i would have straightened myself out well enough to make heaven just so that i can see you again....In the main time, rest in perfect peace my dear grandmother....Will miss you...

MAMI

I went home today very happy and planned on doing some self grooming - change nail polish and all...Only to get home and find out that granma who we call mami had a stroke and is in coma back home....

So have they taken her to hospital? what doctor is taking care of her?

No hospital this time s.chic! they're going to just leave her at home...doctor A has already seen come to see her and she's been stabilized...

They're just going to let her die?

Yes, she's 97, has lost her vision, in pain, and wears adult pull-ups...she does both #s 1 & 2 on herself....She's spent her time....

MAMI, REST IN PEACE...



i'm going to write a tribute to mami when she officially goes to see the Lord...she just was not the regular granma...

Note to Self

I'm usually very late catching up with blogs so i usually have to read a couple of posts back at some of the blog sites i like to follow...i read Linda Ikeji's blog yesterday and down was an honest post about worries...it's inspired me to do one...i've always felt that since i know people personally that read my blog then i can't be just as honest anymore..but i think one more time i'm going to do an honest one...forgetting about all those that don't think i know that they read it...

yes you ______! i already know you read it too! lol! hiss....
