Happy Ending...

Yaay!

My favourite month of the year.

Yesterday as I was driving home, I started thinking maybe I should do something different every day for all of June and end the month with a bang! The 30^th is my birthday (and wedding anniversary :)) and for some strange reason I am actually excited about it this year….I never get excited about my birthday, so I am taking this as a good sign.

So, these 30 things I will be doing…I have totally no idea.

However I know I want to alternate between things I do for myself and things I do for other people.

I am still on track with my weight loss, and I’m loving it! Minus living a healthier life, there are just too many gorgeous dresses to be worn (made) and having a good body is very essential for that. I wore my pre pregnancy jean to work on Friday, not only did it fit, it’s getting loose already! I also noticed my measurements are back to my pre pregnancy state but not the weight on my scale, which I am fine with as my goal is no longer pre pregnancy weight.

ü      Milestone 1 achievement: Fit into non stretch pre pregnancy jeans. Done!

Milestone 2 achievement: Weigh 68kg (pre pregnancy weight) - 2 kilos away

Milestone 3 achievement: Lose ALL the jiggling- Many more jiggles to go

Milestone 4 achievement: Get a 6 pack- I see you! Somewhere in the near future….hehehe

I’m off to play some tennis, then attend a friend’s wedding and end the day going to a house party.

Someone please pass me a glass of champagne….

Fat Loss 101: A Concise Guide To Rapidly Losing Body Fat

Aloha people!

*Sigh* A mum of twins!!...My inspiration right there, you can read her story by clicking on the link.

As you can tell from my title... I'm still on my weight loss journey. 2 months and counting.
I can see some light at the end of the tunnel, but the tunnel is pretty loooooong!

Made good progress so far. Eating for weight loss in Nigeria can be a huge pain.
I have a short write up that guides me...found it here.....my holy grail for body transformation, I also live on this website

What most people are not aware of, is that weight loss isn't going on a diet and working out...it is a total lifestyle change and it takes time to achieve.

You're better off weight training if you have any intentions of losing fat, and mixing it up with some cardio. (even I have a hard time sticking to this, but i try to do something every week, even if it's only 2ce a week).

There is so much confusing info online that looking for a way out is a pain. Things I know for a fact-..DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON BOOKS, PILLS, DIETS, MACHINES THAT CAN GIVE YOU GREAT ABS IN 10 DAYS! all of those are LIES!

Fact- Nutrition is 80%, Exercise 20%

You need a calorie deficit EVERYDAY...(Reduce your portions, cut out the drinks, stop all the fast food....eat things that come from the ground, no packet or cans. The more natural the food, the better for you, drink at least half your body weight of water)

In other news...my sister got engaged, so I have a glam wedding party to attend, that means a gorgeous dress, fabulous hair and great accessories.....I cannot wait (I can say this now because my body transformation has began and I have at least 7 months before the wedding to do more)...

Have to get back to work now.... that me 2 months before and after J

Polka Dot Monday!!!

Aloha!

So I might be back after all... :)

Thanks for the comments that directed me to Madam Sting's fat buster operation, very timely.

I joined the squad and you can follow us all here

As for me birthing my designs to life, that is on hold for now- my body is currently transitioning. However that won't stop me from adding to my portfolio of scrap designs and for the fun of it, showcasing my office ensemble. Say cheese! (I will need a reliable office colleague photographer at this rate ... I wonder who the unlucky person will be? I think I know already *evil grin*)

First and foremost, I am the average girl next door, most people who see me and are not close to me may argue that. But people like my dear friend Ms Caramel will tell you I'm so laid back that I'm horizontal...*halo*

Now, I am no fahionista, but I love to dress up to suit my body type (I've never really followed fashion per se, I think some trends are ridiculous), Mixing both now… Any trend that works with my style I just might adopt. Some one say polka dot/ Mono chrome

My style has a lot of fitted clothes (so you can understand my craze for weight loss) your body has to be right for fitted clothes to look good on you. Dresses, jeans, skirts etc. I go through a colour phase sometimes

Above all, I love my pumps! yes, high heels are sexy ( some people say I tend to look intimidating in them), but I prefer to be comfortable all day.

So I guess you know what the final ensemble looks like. No need to put up a full picture....hehehehe.

Have a great week ahead people!

She's backkkkk...

Well….at least for now J

It’s mid-April already, this year seem to be on a roller coaster.

I did find myself after my last post. I reconnected to Jesus and every other thing fell into place.

*Someone shout Halleluiah!

I've always had a hard time trying to figure out my passion or what I was created to do. I still haven’t figured it out, time and chance haven’t quiet made their way to me and it makes me feel bad sometimes.

On the other hand, there are things I love to do/ things I think I would love to do (but when I see how other people express themselves in those areas, I tell myself, Naa…you don’t know jack! Don’t bother, just admire them from a distance)

*That’s bad…and I know this.

So

I have decided to take my life/destiny into my own hands and take a leap of faith and NO… I am not launching a fashion line/ style house (yet) or becoming a nutrition expert (yet) and neither am I becoming a weight loss coach any time soon.

But the things I love to do, I will continue to do and enjoy them, learn more about them, become better at them and wait for time and chance to have a date with me J

As you all know the reality of motherhood is quiet heavy.

1.       You lose your body

2.       You lose “me” time

3.       You come last on the list

4.       You become a super human being  joggling life, work & family

Just to mention a few.

I never really got my pre pregnancy body back after my darling N was born. I did look super 3 months after (almost back) to my normal weight and size and somehow I lost it after that.

I tried all sorts of short cuts (silly me) and of course none worked! Spending money that I should have used on fabrics and paying a tailor to bring my designs to life. hissss

Now I am currently on the only thing that works. Sensible eating and exercise!!!

I have gone on this journey more than 2ce in my life time and the key ingredients are patience and discipline! However with my new lifestyle, those 2 ingredients are very far off (my patience is reserved for N- the most hyper active kid ever).  I decided to try one last time, and……drum roll! After 1 month I tried on my wedding dress, and I was able to zip it to the top! Yaaaay! HUGE MILESTONE.  (I did look fuller and more womanly, no thanks to childbearing hips)

Now my goal for weight loss is to get a six pack *coughs*

Timeline is 1 year.  Slow and steady they say wins the race.

I will go into details in my next couple of posts, on my weight loss journey (especially nutrition habits with Nigerian foods), exercising.

I need to do this for myself… just in case I find myself in the same boat again.

As for my love for fabrics, styles &designs. I will also post about them in whatever form I choose to.

Best believe, I will be my own model for some posts….whoop whoop!

I'm so done with remaining anonymous.

Have a great Wednesday people!!!

What did Baby ~Sirius~ say to Mama ~Sirius~

Grabs broom, inserts stick at the bottom, grabs flashlight and begins to find way to blog.

Months later...

*Phew! I can't believe it's taken the end of year syndrome or should I say new year syndrome to bring me out of my hiatus.

Well, what can I say. At least I'm here now :)

I just did a before and after examination of myself: shocking discovery (or not). My before says to my after "Sweet Jesus! Girl, what on earth happened to you?"
You used to be like me, you know: young and alive! passionate and excited (not that you don't look young) but... you look DEAD.

Alive but Dead.
No passion, no excitement, distant and lost.

Hanging my head in shame, I realize that this is true.
Not proud of it, but I just let life and its trials get the best of me.
What on earth happened to me?
*

In recent times I've been thinking about death more often than usual, I have all the bad news from 2012 causing this, and my worst fear is to die without living!

Things happen in one's life and you're not sure how to recover, you get overwhelmed by other milestones like giving birth and becoming a mother (yet to come to terms with that one till date). You hate your body and yet can't be disciplined enough to lose the last 10kilos so you can be a perfect size 10.
You lack passion for the things you love, so much so that it begins to kill the love.
You yearn desperately for something and instead it keeps going farther away from you.
It feels like the world is against you. You have no reason to try, no reason to hope, no faith to believe.

You just exist.

That sucks...

What's amazing is the fact that I'm surrounded by things that should move me, things that should keep my fire burning, however I chose to ignore them. Just because things were not how I wanted them to be.
This morning, I looked at my husband get ready and leave for work, I smiled in my head and it was warm. I have an awesome life partner.
As for our son, Have you looked into his eyes?...you will fall madly in love with him instantly, him and his bag of tricks.

I didn't make any new years resolutions, but I have began to live by the grace of God.
I am appreciating life and its moments. I will not stop yearning, I will keep my hope and faith alive.
I seize to just exist.

Life is really too short to die sad & unhappy.
I choose to live!
I choose to do right by myself and the people that I love in my life.
I choose to dream
I choose to chase my dreams.
I choose to love
I choose to love passionately.
I am eager and excited!


A little light was all I needed to overcome my dark days :)

It's 2013 people.
L.I.V.E!!!

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness......

I'm sure someone out there will read that title and it will hit them, that is exactly what they are doing.

On the contrary, I am currently not addicted to a certain type of sadness any more..... I just happen to love a certain song called "somebody that I used to know" by Gotye and that powerful line came from the song.

It's amazing how words still have a very strong hold on me.

In other news it's May! can you believe that?! (errr....of course you already do). The year is heading for the finish line and I think it's leaving me behind. I thought I would be a millionaire by now, however living from pay cheque to pay cheque is the wrong way to go about it ( or Not) *wink.
I'm sure for other people Airtel has the answer on how to be a millionaire by age 24........hissssss "fast is an attitude" my foot!

I refuse to bore you with any mummy details :) but if the young man could sprint for the Olympics he would. I thought I was the energizer bunny, you all should meet the little man. He'll wear you out in 2 minutes.

I'm loving colours now. I even wear red lipstick. And yes.....those are my loucious lips.

Colours lift your mood.....and good music too.

I miss here....

A lot has been going on around, from Boko Haram, to us Manchester United fans giving up on the team wining this season, to BBA Stargate (for the addicts), to the scam that this country is- Nothing works and we just keep living our lives while absolutely nothing is being done about it. Everything is tied to a "cabal".....hissss

I get really tired about everything sometimes

I need change. Positive change.

Loving the new blogger layout......it actually made me want to put up a post.

In other news
I want to watch Avengers o!!! Boko haram should please allow me.


My Boo has a question......

"Are you guys really sure Nigeria will get better any time soon?"


Isn't he soooo cute? *wide grin*

What Will Be Will Be

So, my 2011 was full of many highs and lows, so many that I couldn't wait to start 2012. I wanted to quickly forget some things that happened, finally get over some other things and not have to ponder on bitter sweet life changing experiences.

And so I ended the year with a bang! A full house filled with family - what more could I ask for. First christmas with the little man, I had to bring  my Mommy A-game on. ( If anyone had told me years ago that I would be married, let alone be a Mom, I would have bet my life on their insanity: that's a story for another day).
We had a wonderful Christmas and I started the tradition that my mum used to keep, leaving presents wrapped under the Christmas tree for everyone in the house. It was pure bliss seeing their faces light up as they unwrapped their gifts.  My darling husband wouldn't let me rest because he wanted to see what he got long before Christmas day. However I survived his torments, and he had no choice but to wait.

Taking a break off work to be with family was grand. I can tell you for free that juggling your life as a woman, a career woman, a wife, a mom, a friend, a daughter ain't Easy!

I am almost back to my pre pregnancy weight. *whoop whoop* even though I still have about 7kg to lose to get there, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel having lost a total of 18kg in the last four months. In other words ~Sirius~ is a yummy mummy.
I swear by Jillian Michaels. That woman's workout works on fat cells that have not moved in the last 10yrs.
After going through all this, I can't understand the how women give birth more than once.#justsaying ( Feel free to judge me)

I decided that 2012 will be the year I Live.
Live life to the fullest, no inhibitions.
Because life is darn to short.

So, you can imagine the year opening in grand style for me. A thankful heart, a prophetic word from Sunday morning service and then GEJ's wonderful fuel subsidy announcement. I say- All things work together for good for those who love Him. We shall continue to #OccupyNigeria

My life is going to be what I decide to make out of it.
And so will our lives as Nigerians. If we decide to fight this to the end, then we will not only succeed for ourselves, but for our children as well.

My little man is just too adorable to give up the good fight. He says happy new year to you all, and may 2012 be whatever you want it to be for you.

That Sh*t Cray!

* Stunting like his daddy.................in a Superman suit :-)

Too lazy to type my side of the story, but hubby did justice to it here and here.

And that my friends.....is how we say "That Sh*t Crazy!"

And there was light.....

I feel like this is my first post ever.
I think I've forgotten how to blog.
(How does one forget how to blog?)
I see I'm not the only one guilty of this crime (if I am allowed to call it that)

What's weird is that I cannot pin point what exactly kept me away from here. As for my life being uneventful, I'm pretty sure if I dig deep I would find some awesome stories to tell *smiley*

So.

It's just gone past the middle of August. Is this year fast or what? I've been married for a little over a year already. Funny how that day seems like yesterday. I still don't feel married. I feel like my best friend and I share an apartment. He's kind to let me stay and I return the favour by keeping him company; with benefits of course *wink*

I need shop therapy.

But before that, I need an additional source of income that would let me splurge on any and everything.

*
Life really does have a sense of humour.
As kids we were given everything we wanted for free, yet we wanted to grow up fast, now as adults we find out that the grass isn't as green as it looked like from the other side.

Somehow, i wish adult life came first, so that we'd apprecite being kids.

I'm rambling.....off to make myself useful.

Feeling (Not So) Damn Good...

So, two Sundays ago in the cool air of the church auditorium, I listened to a story being told from the bible. It would be the umpteenth time I'd be hearing this story since I was a kid, but the first time I would ever stop and slowly digest a character that I never really taken an interest in ever since I'd heard the story.

I'm sure most of us all know the story of the prodigal son who requested for his share of wealth from his father (a king) and blew it all up, then he became less than a servant in a land where the people were seen as less than equals to his own people.

As I sat and listened to the analogy of this story, my ears stood (like a dogs' would) when his brother was analysed.

Quiet, never troubled his father, got his share of wealth (only because his brother requested for his), never caused any trouble, calm, reserved, speaks only when spoken too.......

I felt sad instantly....not for him, but for myself.

I've always played it safe like the first son, not to say I'm 100% goody two shoes or anything like that, but for the life of me I never take risks! I wonder if it has to do with the fact that nothing really excites me, not even "supposed" milestones in life (which i see as a very serious issue).

I usually sit down and take in whatever comes my way.... things happen in my life that i don't like and i just sit there waiting/hoping/wishing for them to change. I find it really really hard to complain or express my feelings, and when and if i eventually do it means that I'm probably sick of it to the point that it makes me sick.

Going back to the bible story...

The wayward brother got the best of both worlds, not to say I'm encouraging being wayward, but....
He caught the heart of his father more than his brother did, why? Because his father (like most heads/fathers/leaders), they are not moved my people who are static, people who just say yes to everything you say, people who don't challenge other people, people who have dreams and wishes buried inside them but are too afraid to birth them because they don't want to seem rude, or out of line.........people who don't speak their
mind or take risks.

How on earth am I going to make a difference in life if i always play safe?

Gosh!

I'm tired, I'm down, I'm angry at myself....I don't mean to sound ungrateful to God, but I'm not just myself...if I were white (no offence) I'd be diagnosed with depression and I'd be feeling slightly suicidal. It's ironic as nothing in wrong in my life at the moment. I guess it's just a phase, or perhaps I'm sucking up more than I should and I just haven't realised it yet.

I'm whining .........

Have a great weekend everyone...

YummmmY......

And so, here I am again.

I don’t know what has gotten into me? (slowly saying that in my head - it sounds……..)

I can’t believe I abandoned my blog! (well, I can) Life has taken the toll on me.

Unfortunately I can't bore you with all the non-interesting details, instead I will motivate you to do something you love.....hehehe

So.

I have this friend, from waaaaay back. She does fantastic stuff with cupcakes! (Anyone who knows me knows I love cake…….and Ice-creamJ) The sad/fortunate thing is……she lives in far away Abuja. So I can’t indulge in all her naughtiness and so I defeat the scale in this battle *wide grin*

At first I was just going to put up one or two photos of her handwork. But I have something better….a blog link

However, for the lazy folks....sneak preview.

I promise to update you on all the non-interesting details...in due time. ( I hope I don't disappear for this long)

For those who are lucky enough to be in Abuja.....you should try them cupcakes. and eat for 2!

1 sheep, 2 Sheep, 3 Sheep....Randomly Bored

Boredom....an emotional state experienced during periods lacking activity or when individuals are uninterested in their surroundings.

That's how I've been feeling lately.....extremely bored.

What's crazy is that I have tons of things to do.....like read my books! (yes o...adult education ain't easy) I'm currently enrolled in a certification program (work related), 5 exams, so far 3 down 2 more to go..........someone should please tell ~Sirius~ to read her books and not fall asleep when she gets to page 2 (that's if she even picks up the book to read)

So.......I love to cook! (as much as I love to eat *insert wide grin*)

Not to blow my trumpet or anything, I am actually quite good at it. Somehow God knew all of this and blessed me with a husband who enjoys to eat. A lot. (picky sometimes) but he is a sucker for very good food, and so FoodNetwork has me drooling every now and then.

When I was much younger, my Saturday mornings were strictly to cater to my dad and his friends, I would sauté snails and bush-meat in pepper and onions for for them to indulge.

In my late teens....After my Saturday routine had long gone with the wind. I still catered to just my dad....not snails anymore, maybe some dryfish pepper soup or anything he fancied (my dad is a hard man to please when it comes to food- that's why I can manage a husband with the same standards) My dad would tease me that if I ever was jobless that I should open a restaurant- And No, I don't think I ever will.

Now, I do a lot of continental dishes, a lot of sauces.....hubby skewed me in that direction, because he loves restaurant food.

This is as random as it gets.....I can't get the images of Japan out of my head.

A reminder that we should be grateful everyday we are alive.

Off to enjoy my weekend!..hopefully read my books after I catch up on my TV shows.

This is ~Sirius~ Signing out!

Pondering....

Sometimes I find myself having these moments where my mind travels down a chain of thoughts. Sometimes they occur randomly, sometimes they are triggered by things happening in peoples lives around me.

They say Life is about choices, but then they also say that we all have a Jacklly and Hyde in each of us.

I've always wondered what triggers human beings to listen to the little red guy with horns and a pitch fork instead of the calm white peaceful dude with cute clean fluffy wings.

Granted, I am no saint. I've had days when the offer from the red dude was just too awesome to resist......and some how he always made me repay me double if not more. Nowadays I try to keep him banished.

An incident occurred in my compound, where a tenant felt the guard was rude to her, and so she expressed her feelings of dissatisfaction to the relative living with her, and in less than ten minutes our guard could no longer see from one eye.

I asked myself, why? was that really necessary?

Same goes for life generally.

What really is the essence of revenge?

We all wake up everyday hoping to have a good day, perhaps a fantastic one, with most things if not everything working in our favour. We live our lives and sometimes we forget that our actions affect other people.

We are faced with choices on a daily basis, and I understand how sometimes these choices can be difficult, but does that mean because they are difficult that we should give up or take the easy way out by hurting the people around us? Is that really necessary?

I think sometimes we act on our emotions when we make decisions (which can lead to some very bad decisions), sometimes we subconsciously/generally just take other people for granted, just because we believe they won't mind, or they might never know, or they would understand. Sometime we hurt our loved ones by our actions just because we are upset at that moment in time.......and that's how we let the red guy with the pitch fork have his way, unfortunately for us we forget that one day those people will reach a point where they would give up on us too.

I wish every time we had to make a decision or a choice that we actually slow down and listen to the voice of reason, instead of close our eyes and snatch the pitch fork from the red dude.

I wish every time we had to make a choice we would halt, and take a good look at ourselves in the mirror and ask "Is it really necessary?"

It is easier to move forward and forget about almost making the wrong choice or decision, than to UNsay those words to a loved one even though deep down we never meant them. We can never UNcheat on our partner, same way we can never UNbeat a person. Sadly, we can never tell that person how we really feel about them when their dead and gone.

I guess I'm just upset about the incident. It was totally unnecessary and unfair.

I hope you have a good week people.

Crap! I Forgot To Title My Post!

… I miss blogging.

I really do.

It’s the middle of February, and this is my first post.

I even tried the 7 unknown things about me in my head…..and I never got round to actually typing it out.

Now I don’t feel like it anymore.

*

I was reading my old posts and I couldn’t believe I wrote most of them……Somehow I don’t think I’m much of that ~Sirus~ anymore……*sigh

On another note…..A blogger saw me and expressed her thoughts on how she expected to see a “fat ~Sirius~” especially after reading posts of me crying my weight out.

Truth be told I’m actually not fat, neither am I anywhere near fat (well, anorexic girls may think otherwise- but who cares about them?) I just suffer from the perfect body syndrome (ha! I just made that up)

*

And so today is Valentine’s Day…..truth be told again. I’ve always hated today for the mere reason that a lot of lies and heartbreaks are happening as I type this. I say this because I have been a victim once upon a time and I have also seen people fall victims too.

……oh well. That phase of my life is definitely over, so in the spirit of Valentine here’s to my one true love;

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Remember I once told you

Loving you is all I’m going to do.

Happy Valentine’s day people……………

End Of Year Results

That's what I score the year 2010.

It was my perfect year.

10/10.

I had the good, the bad and some ugly. As we all know, all things work together for good.(So it's all good)

I am extremely grateful to God Almighty. He is the reason I look back at the year today, still failing to find a flaw. For that reason alone I cannot thank Him enough.

In all His perfection, He cared enough for tiny little me (even though I was not always on my best behaviour) He let me have a perfect year.

I grew older.
I grew stronger.
I grew wiser.
I showed more appreciation for the simple things in life.
I got married (To the best husband in the world)
I had the best holiday ever this year.

Above all, I have peace, joy, happiness and so much love in my heart.

At the end of the year, most of us find ourselves doing some evaluation or re evaluation on how we view things.
At the end of my evaluation, I realised all the things that I worried about at some point or the other ended up being a waste of my time, emotions and energy. Never again!

I'm now certain, that He who began a good work in me is indeed faithful to complete it.

I say. Goodbye 2010. You were indeed a pleasure.
And.
Happy New Year Blogsville!


~Sirius~ Loves you all....

Next Stop, Lagos Airport...Please Mind The Gap

Alas,

My holiday is over.

Sad but true......... I.Have.A.Real.Life.

I'm slowly coming off my shopping high, while trying to remember what's outstanding on my to-do-list at home

Being able to pound the concrete day after day is one of the few things I love to do. Quite frankly I only have a few number of things I love to do, staying indoors being at the top of the list.

Random
*Did I mention that I'm married to a shopaholic*

Going on a holiday is compulsory in my books. I preach this message to anyone I can.

Money can never buy the satisfaction of a get-away, preferably to a sane town.

As it stands, I'm ready for another bout of Lagos and its madness, having rested & topped up my tolerance for insanity.

I have 2 days left, I'm just going to lean back, relax and not think about work or anything relatively close to it.

Actually, ~Mister~ bought the PlayStation Move controller, so I'm off to play some Sports Championship and hopefully burn evil calories I got from chowing All You Can Eat buffets back to back *insert wide grin here*
H.O.L.I.D.A.Y people! spell it with me.

Happy Thanksgiving! (on the other side of the Atlantic that is)

...No, I am not leaving blogspot.

It gets to a point in the year where you slowly shutdown. I am at that point.

*

Work has been great. The company is blowing up on a massive scale. I intend to blow with them.

*

Battling with my weight. Again.

I hear when you're happy you gain weight. *KMT*

Why is it so hard to lose the last 5kg? ......So, it’s on to weights and some cardio.

*

Found myself in a bridal shower last Sunday.

The girls in Lagos leave me speechless all the time. I quickly ran back home after winding my waist to Olekun for 2 minutes *wink*

*

It’s Tv season. Fringe Rocks!!!!

Of course life can’t be complete without weekly doses from the Upper Eastside & Wisteria Lane.

*

And I believe I’ve made only 3 dresses out of my six. I really need to learn how to sew.

Tailors can be so annoying.

I am tired. I need a break. I need a holiday. I need time away from the hustle.

So………..I’m packing my bags and whipping my hair back and forth!!!!!

Nigeria At 50 Day 5; A Home Is Still A Home

Previously on Nigeria at 50
Day 4; Tisha: http://diaryofanigeriangal.blogspot.com/

A bride- to- be is full of excitement, anticipation, joy and uncertainty.
She can't wait to be one with her husband.
What lays ahead she can only imagine.
Truth be told.
She can only hope for the best.

The two become one and a house becomes a home.
The home becomes her pride and her joy
The one place she will always find peace love and joy.

That is her hope for the best.

As we celebrate 50 years of independence we can only hope for the best.

Hope that our country Nigeria will one day stand as the giant of Africa.
Hope that she will find herself good leaders to rule her.
Hope that she will provide for her people the bare necessities in life.

Today as i write this post, I am still hopeful.

Hopeful that her change will come, hopeful that things will turn around, hopeful that things will one day be alright.

As long as we keep this hope alive.

Her change will come.

Happy independence.

I Felt Like Putting Up A Scattered Post......So I Did.

One Month after the aisle....

Marriage is pretty much Awesome (if you're married to the right one)

Nope, I won't bore you with how happy I am, waking up every morning beside my best friend and Lover.....

Or how I make him indulge in healthy eating, which he likes to call grazing (because i flog his diet with fresh vegetables),

Or how we keep our boyfriend and girlfriend tradition of watching movies together at the weekends @ home: I actually have a quota of RomComs (romantic comedies) that I am allowed to watch so I don’t make him have more estrogens than he should have.lol.

This is still the easy part and We know this.......God is our strength and He will take us through to the end.

I fall in love with him each passing day.......and dude has been shot by cupid several times over since we got hitched! LOL (I'm busy loving all the extra Love)

Oh, by the way We didn't meet on blogger: just clearing the air J

Moving On......

Work has been work.......business as usual as some folks would say.

I put myself up to a challenge. 12 dresses by the end of the year with my name on it. well

~House of Double O~ ..........Caramel D gave me that name 3 years ago (I had just met and started hanging out with ~Mister~, she really believed he was The One then, Well now I guess I can say she was right!)

I'm not Fashion Crazy, but i'm the one the girls ask: is this outfit good to go? or What do I wear? Do these shoes match the outfit? will a shorter skirt do the trick?......So, I have a sense of style but it's not as broad as I'd want it to be..........That's why I'd love to live in England, London town to be precise for 2 or more months every summer........Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating when I say live in England, but the shop displays and people walking on the streets each with their own unique style just gives me ......... overwhelming joy, peace and satisfaction.

Still battling with weight gain and weight loss.............it's never ending!!! I intend to be a sexy wife o! even after the consignments arrive......please, I can't shout. It doesn't even help that I married a very sexy man, so each day I am reminded what I have to keep up with!

I haven't done much work today, so I'm off to earn my paycheck for today (how come when I work overtime I never get rewarded.....*rolls eyes*)

Why can't I win a massive Lottery????? One that would accommodate me to put up my feet for the next 5 years.......

Tomorrow is Friday, Thank God!......Have a fabulous weekend people!

Getting Freaky....

Literally.
