My Birthday Weekend and Life After

It's been a crazy few days and I haven't been able to blog about anything going on so here is it in a nutshell. I must publicly say thank you to my bmore family for coming down and making my birthday a really wonderful event. I woult' put your pictures on a public sight but I will send your pictures to you privately. My sight is public so I will keep your identities but I really appreciate and Love how you made my 25th birthday a wonderful event.

Friday-
Spent last friday prepping for my people that were coming. Wound up sleeping half the day away. I had had an eventful week and couldn't just sit around waiting plus I was too excited so I slept. It ended up being a cold day and my friends got here later in the evening so we went out to Benigans and had some drinks and food. Regaled each other on tales of family and life in Nigeria and of course had to tell them some funny antics my father did. We had a blast. Baby was acting goofier than I have seen him in a while and that assuaged my nervousness. It was so cool.

They fell asleep during a tour of my campus. i don't blame them, because there really isn't anything to see on campus anyway.


Saturday:
Woke up early because I was mad excited that my people's were in town. We picked up and headed to the bowling alley after a brief tour of my little town. They found our "downtown" amusing and very cute but I know the real downtown is anything but except for BORING.

Anyway we went bowling. Uncle Dru did excellent and so did Baby with his bowling bag and hand gaurd. I think he wanted to show off that he had been bowling in a league. Well let's just say he did pretty good. UNcle dru had the highest score and then of course the Ladies. Don't hate! It's not like we bowl for a living or have the left hand advantage. We did pretty good. I dare you to come and try to beat me. I refuse to reveal how many gutter bowls I had, at least I had a strike!

Then it was off to our huge mal. Okay it is pretty big that is one advantage of living in a college town because they have a big enough mall. NOt as big as Arundel Mills but bigger than Owings mills mall. So there! Anyway we went to the Mall breifly walked around and then got ready for our night in NY

We missed our train to NY and while waiting for another decided to grab a quick snack at Mcdonalds. Then the saga of the creepy bike guy came into play.
So baby pulls up to this remote gass station and asks this guy for direction to the nearest fast food place. The guy gives this wierd smirky smile and points us in the direction we were headed. We were all joking about getting lynched because it seemed like he was about to call in reinforcements direct us to a remote area and get us killed. Anyway, it was one of those "you had to have been there moments". We ended up getting our food and heading to the train with minutes to spare. On the train D and uncle dru crashed and T, B and I just sat around chatting and reading the paper. The ride was cool and LONG.

You know how when you are headed somewhere and excited you are just anticipating so much fun that things get well dragged.

T of course took matters under control and hailed us a cab ASAP when we landed in Manhattan. She was all sexy New York chick and fit right in with the populi. We got into our cabs and had dinner at SPICE. Sis. D had invited some friends and it was great. K Baby's brother decided to join us so it was fun. We had great food and lots of jokes. I ended up getting suprised with a candle and a slice of cake. That is something that hasn't happened to me in years. Thanks for that guys. I can't remember the last time I blew out candles. I think it was when I turned 18. So thanks for that.

Anyway, then we headed to club WEbster Hall. What a wierd name for a club. But what fun we had. We started the party. We got there and were on the guest list. We headed downstairs to the hip hop room and as always the idiots weren't dancing. They were just standing against the wall. You know the ignorant guys that come to the club and until there is a grind fest they will not get on the dance floor. So we were chilling too. then Sis. D Requested "caught up" by Usher from the D.J and we (my crew) got on the dance floor and cut loose. Of course monkey see, monkey do! Before long the room was in its usual frenzy of gropers and grinders. After about two hours of dancing realizing that "Agba ti'n de" we headed home

On the way T conked out quick then D, then uncle dru, finally baby conked out. I sat there for a while thanking my lucky stars that I have such amazing people in my life! I feel so lucky and to think I am starting my new 25th year surrounded by real friends! I am only sorry that my fav. Cuz couldn't come out! But hey it all works out in the end.

Sunday:
I hate goodbyes. They came over to say goodbye and I almost cried. We said our goodbyes and well Baby dropped me off in school and I started working on my paper. It was back to real world right?

Monday:
We started packing today. Officially baby and I are moving to a bigger apartment. It's not the apartment or the house we are lookign to buy but we have to move cuz our landlord is tripping so we are moving to a better place. I guess I am happy because it means washer, dryer and dishwasher and I get a fireplace in my bedroom.
I went to class and flunked a test. I think I am hung over from the weekend. Did I mention that my family brought so much Shandy. and baby and I have worked our way at this point through like five?

Tuesday:
School and packing that has been my life. Packing during the day and school at night. And then calling these people with the RSVP's for my girls wedding so things are hectic in Casa De Baby/LadyB. Baby had to go to court today and I went along and well let's just say that things worked out in our favor! THANK GOD!

Wednesday:
Spent the whole day packing and calling people. Baby came home today and we toasted with our last bottles of shandy and then we went back to work packing. we were toasting because baby got another bonus. The guy is a f--- genius. To bad we are both so busy packing and moving that we can't celebrate yet. But that will come in it's time. Had a fight with Vixen. I love her too much for my own good! I wonder if she really understands how much she hurts me sometimes. I don't know...

Thursday:
Well busy as always packing. I think by now you get my drift


Friday:
Slept. I didn't do #$ish today. I decided to rest. My back and arms hurt from lifting boxes. Driving to goodwill stores and dropping stuff off. I am tired of boxes and packing crap all over the apartment. I can't wait for order. We have the dining room set up as the box depot and all the boxes are stacked there. We have the bedroom left. And baby has the TV, and CPU area to finish so the home is in chaos.

I don't know what tomorrow will bring.... sorry I do know ...MORE PACKING!

Wish me luck. I will post pictures of our new place!

did you miss me? Well now you are caught up! so yeah...call me...holla back
