A Step in the right direction??? THE PUNCHLINE

Its Friday finally!!! It has been a long week of de-motivation and back and forth  nonsensical stories with my employer. But am taking one step at a time with containing myself as the lady that I am and not loosing my head in the process. Lets just say I have decided to be on a permanent go slow until something is done to address my grievances :) apparently this kind of technique seems to work wonders in so many ways!
ION I have been running a story in the last two articles in the year and the response has been overwhelming! I am getting a lot of people telling me I need to finish this story because they are dying of curiosity so am going to yield to their pleas and continue with where I had stopped from..So here goes nothing

I boarded  the bus home after he walked me to my bus station. This time the hug lingered more,it felt  more engulfed with feeling and there was electricity...At least I felt it :). He told me "see you later" and let his gaze linger. I was shy, I blushed, I almost tripped. This Bad Ass was getting in the zone. I hoped he would call or text,or say something as rash as he enjoyed himself. But he did not. I bit the bullet and texted first. NO REPLY....One hour, another hour...I switched off my phone, switched it on again after 30 minutes,still nothing. I was bordering in the line between depression and stupidity but I snapped out of it, I had pride! I was going to wait it out, and I did....

Turns out I had made quiet the impression in Mr Bad Ass's eyes..because after several days (You heard me right SEVERAL) he called me to 'check up'. As usual my heart did the whole *you are killing me woman routine* of sweating, excitement, beating hard in anticipation and finally turning blue. The way this man had gotten this RANDOM CHIC in confusion was amazing. Without doing much, I was already in the deep ocean of constantly thinking about him, constantly replaying the previous date, constantly trying to remember every word he said as if they held the eternal secret to living a long fulfilling life.Mr Bad Ass had become my obsession, I had to know what was beneath the Bad Ass demeanor he carried so causally without much care in the world.

Anyway we talked for what seemed like hours. I somehow could not get mad at him for letting me wait for that long before he called me. He downplayed the whole incident and said he had been busy. Foolish me laughed coyly and let it slide. I was going to be that lady who was drama free, that lady who also had a life before this man who was confusing the cosmic elements out of me...so in that state of half smiling , half serious conundrum, he asked me for another date! I rumbled on and on an about the Biafran war..then he asked again this time clearly "RANDOM CHIC IN A NOT SO RANDOM TOWN, WILL YOU GO OUT ON ANOTHER DATE WITH ME???'
Oh the joy! My very superior android phone even fell and for a minute there, he thought I had hung up on him! When I was all composed, I managed to squeeze in a weak yes...not because I was afraid...NO NO NO...but because my mouth had developed a dryness syndrome due to shock and talking had been rendered hazardous!*chuckle*

The day : 23rd December
The place: Corner restaurant (town) at a corner table
The time: 6.30 pm
The parties: Random Chic and Mr. Bad Ass
The Agenda: Date number two


As usual more talking, more laughing, more delicious food, more amazing drinks...and then he pulled a stunt...In the middle of the conversation (I think it was about working out and looking good...something along those lines) he reaches for my spectacles, removes them with such meticulous precision..and plants the most indescribable,most cathartic,most breathe taking, most earth  shuttering kiss on my lips!!

Cosmic movement, element collision,the end of the world is what I felt...in the corner of a well lit room full of people he kissed me and asked me to be his girl all at once!! CONFUSION set in...I remembered the words of my mother "He is the boy I warned you about" 


My mind was made up....Mr Bad Ass looked deep into my eyes and waited for an answer......

For old times sake :)

Juices flowing, fave playlist, Thursday that feels like a Friday and all awesome thoughts. I am making mighty milestones and I thank one God Almighty bana warrr I have come far :) Ok now back to the usual sarcastic me...A friend gave me a brilliant idea and I think I just know how to execute it ( Jose I wish you were here, one serious bitching session needed- like real soon, since you went to the UK you have become ooooo so very boring!!!! KIDDING) So I have had the privilege to have been in a girls' school for four long but very interesting years and truth be told I had some of my most incredible memories there. It was a roller coaster of hysteria mixed with just the right dose of  hormonal rages and plenty of Cabin fever scenarios :) :) As am writing the memories all come to light and  cheka like a stupid mama wondering why we ever made such a big deal of some things! (Jana we was just telling pops all the crazy "don't tell this shit" things we used to as kids and...

MOTHERHOOD 101- I am no expert!

So my fiance has been begging me to write something,anything! and I kept putting him off...the writing bug has not been around for a really long time and too much has happend in my life that I really did not have time to write. Its been two months since I have officially been back to work and its killing me! Mad respect to all mother's y'all! Now I know. Most of my peers have been sending me inboxes of late asking for advise here and there about motherhood and I feel really honored :) So in honor of that, I will document sneak peaks of my motherhood experiences the best way I know how (Darn! my writing mojo just went and dissapeared with the dogs....sigh!) a) Pregnancy I have to say this was the most beautiful part of motherhood for me and the most challenging. I vividly remember when I first got the results of my pregnancy test..FEAR,PANIC,HORROR were the words that were running through my head. I was barely out of Uni, with a boyfriend I had dated for about seven months,...

2012 hasbeen one EFFING Good Year!

I have not written on this blog for a whiiiiiiile...OK even that is an understatement. I have not had the juices flow in a long time and things have been kinda hectic on my end. As is my tradition, Its almost end of year and I have several things to document...It is that time of the year where I reflect, think about all the things that have happened in my life and sigh*2012 has been a pretty good year! So first things first... a) My Job Have you ever had a love/ hate relationship with your job? Well, lets just say am one of those people. My kinda job is fascinating, mind boggling even...the kind of processes that go through getting work out are intricate and it fascinates me and some people are pleasent to hang out with BUT others tho! Enough said. That said and done, I am now permanent and I thank God for the far he has brought me. Building my confidence in my ability to be the best at what I do. God has been great. b) My folks/ Family There is a phrase commonly used that I tot...
