My friends Love me

This was one of the happiest weekends of my life. If I had any doubts about my choice of friends, it was completely bannishedd on saturday. I turned a year older on Tuesday 18th and it was an ordinary day like any other really. I got several birthday wishes from the most unlikely people. The usual suspects (family and close friends) mostly forgot that it was my birthday.anha! One of my friends had a baby that morning too and remembered to call me from her hospital bed to say her baby shares a birthday with yours truely. How cool is that?? totally made my day. I guess Im vying for Godmother now to baby Kayla.

I fuss over every single birthday of mine so in True A tradition I planned something. Not the usual house party BBQ coz was kinda tired of that and yes, I felt like some adult plot. So diner at the New Qhong Qing restaurant I decided. My friend Ba took care of the invites. Saturday morning, nobody had RSVPed so I figured well maybe 10 people. didnt think the restaurant was tha popular so I took my time making the reservations. showed up at 5pm and all tables were taken. Im so screwed!

Pleaded with the little Chinese man who kept saying...."No table, No table madam"

A: Listen, u have no idea, I have invited my firends to have diner with me. u have to find me a table. Its my birthday please do something.

After several minutes of pleading, they got me a table for 15 at he terrace. whew! Thank you Jesus! Now I could go home and change, was even brave enuf to show my "little" belly (didnt anticipate it wouldnt be so little after the diner).

I arrived early to deliver the cake, and 7pm diner time, it was just me and my gal Vic at the table. Fine, they will be here I told myself.

7:30pm still nobody

7:45 Rowe and boyfriend arrive, shortly after Joanna.

8pm 20 people at the table, chinese man annoyed coz I told him 15 people

8:05pm 23 people at table, chinese man now extremely miffed.

All my friends came except Mr. back to basiks. I was ecstatic even before I opened the presents.

And I got the most thoughtful presents I could ever think of.

Best of the bunch

1. Des, took a half nude picture of mine about 4 years ago. tastefully done by the way and I had forgotten all about it. Scribbled my fav maya Angelou peom over it, blew it up and framed it. I cried, it was so beautifully done. Thank you Des, I loved it.

2. The DVD player from everybody. Guys I know you did this for y'all considering all lazy Sunday movie days at my house. hehehe, My player had died about a month ago so this was an amazing gift.

3. My fav card........"having sex is not a crime but a misdemeanor, (inside) The more u miss out, the meaner you get" (Thanks Yuda, Peter, Emma)

Its was all so amazing, then the tequilla rounds later..........I woke up with a smile on my face still because my friends Love me.

Thank you all so much!

Im addicted to Cashews

Mood: hmm not quite sure
Munching on cashew nuts (better than sex)
Listening to: Weird Al Yankovich, “what if God smoked Cannabis”

Now Im trying to beat Rip van Winkle’s record (I know Vanila ice had a similar name). Im not getting out of bed because I don’t wanna face my problems. Yes I am an escapist so I will stay here until they go away.
Remember the track….” I cant escape this life that Im living, Im in a mix Im in love with two women….......And I dont wanna let none of them go.”
Yeah I kinda like two guys and boy are they different. That’s what makes it so hard. Anyway I watched some old Bachelor the other day and the guys mum told him to choose the person with the least things he would change about them. Good advice I think, doesn’t help me still. Maybe I should have them draw knives at each other. And just incase any of them chances on this post, This work is pure fiction, a figment of the authors imagination.J

The BBQ
I had a nyama fest at my house a week back. The same one Mr. Back to basics was talking about. If you weren’t invited then it’s obvious, we are not friends. So I will prolly not be at your wedding either, that means do not send me invites to wedding meetings. Whew! Finally out of the way!
Had a fab time I think, was too sloshed to remember but rumor has it that I had a great time. Missed out on the flirting sessions btn back to basics and older woman but Im sure he will fill me in. No pun intended. And Im having another one next weekend , yeah because I can and I will be a year younger. A lot to celebrate. Gotta spread my wings ….sweet 20 something….its my time to shine….sweet 20 something. Im sure I wont get a 6 door hammer like those rich brats. Life is soooo unfair. L

Angenoir
I went to the disco finally after 5 years. Hurray! I didn’t know what to expect, this was an entirely new experience to me. The gals would be younger and hotter. And wondering whether the guys would still be hitting on me.
I noticed one thing though, the gals did change (fresh bunch) but the guys were still the same. And I mean the very same people we used to meet 5 years ago. I’m not kidding, I just don t wanna name any names but……. Bob seriously get a life. And you too Isaac get married or something quit bugging the young gals.
Really, even when we were fresh on campus they were still older guys to us and I can’t believe they haven’t moved on. Geez!
Anyway, enuf with the beef but I will set the guys of the cross generation sex campaign on you.

I have a meeting now so I gotta go. And Tandra, my number hasn’t changed by the way. Still the same!

Letter from Newyork

Letter from newyork finally. I miss them terribly. Anyway I cried abit when I read this.

Hello A,

Hope all is well with you,

We've been having a crazy time trying to get Jo backin school. They started last week tuesday so hopefullythings will settle down soon. He's adjusted easily enough to the school bus routine.

He loves school but poor guy as if the whole accent thing isn't crazy enough he's got a very Bristish teacher who only just moved to NY and says things like brilliant and such other very british expressions. His class is also avery mixed bag of cultures and races from samoa,qatar, cambodia to native New Yorkers. It's fun for us the parents too as the parents meetings are very exciting. Oh and he's the only African and black kid so I'm afraid the dancing is only gonna get worse. (My nephew cant dance to save his life)

Natalie's fine. It's like her teeth were waiting for us to get here to come out. The bottom two came out within a few days of being here. Also we had to get her a walker as she was trying too hard to walk along furniture. Besides it keeps her safer. She's a bit of a terror even with the walker. always in the toilets trying to wash her hand in the bowl, In drawers throwing out things. I'm not that eager for her to walk. Will make my life hell. I've already dropped 2kgs keeping up with her. okay that's the positive side.

Anyway gotta go. A few errands to run. will let you know if there are any developments with the congolese.

ciao

Irene PS: Say hi to Susan and the cousins
