So last week I had planned to visit my hair stylist to get my hair fabulously made today Sunday 15th 2012, but then, in comes a text to my phone at 12.26am.
Stylist: Aunty Izzie, pls dont b mad at me, can we pls make your hair next week, am so sorry for d sudden change, immediately I see my schedule for next week, I will let you know, wen I am free,pls dont be mad at me, dat way, I will b able to…..blah blah blah (yup, they where all commas, no fullstop).
When this text came in, I was in the middle of one of my favorite things to do and it is definitely not what you dirty minded people are thinking (smh). I was alternating between playing sudoku, scramble and word with friends with some random people on my kindle as I couldn’t sleep and didn’t feel like watching a movie. After reading the text, I immediately became weak and sleepy. I shut down my games and just dozed off.
Woke up at 8:05am angry and frustrated. I had taken off my weave on Friday because I needed to treat my hair in prep for the braids I was going to get. The night before, I had spent over 3 hours moisturizing and straightening my very kinky afro hair just to make sure its in a good shape for her to braide without stress and now it has all been for naught. I felt like punching someone. I had canceled church for the day because of the bloody braides (God forgive me please…my priorities are not very straight) and the twat cancelled on me. Chai….I was just about to fall into depression mode and do some kain kain stupid things when something just nudged me out of my bed.
I cleaned my house, put away all the stuff I had been procrastinating putting away and then started twisting out my hair. At 11.34am, she text again apologizing for cancelling and what not…I responded and told her exactly how I felt. Omo, i no know say na wahala I de find ooo..this girl started texting me up and down ooo, begging me to come so she can do the hair..Imagine the arrant nonsense. When I’m almost half way through twisting my hair..Na so me and her begin do text marathon o. Her begging me to come to her place so she’ll make the hair ‘even though she is weak’. Me telling her not to worry, that I’ll figure something out. This textathon continued for almost 2 hrs o. Meanwhile I had decided to go into a cookathon.
First I started with breakfast 😀 by 12:18pm.
I had been planning to make chicken parmesan as I had all these cheese at home that I didn’t know what to do. For someone who runs away from cheese, I don’t know the juju that entered me the day I bought the cheese o, because I didn’t just but one pack, I bought 1 pack of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 of cheddar cheese…(smh). Anyway, I thought today was the day to experiment on the recipe, so I hit google for recipes based on what I had in my refrigerator. I couldn’t find a fitting recipe for what I wanted, so I invented mine 😀
By the time muffin was ready and out of the oven, I was done twisting my hair. Time? 16:06pm :-D. Since I was in the spirit, I thought ‘why stop there? shey you have shredded chicken that will be good for chicken pasta?” Na so I begin cook pasta join.
All this while, Chop my money, Azonto, kukere and their brothers and sisters de play for background making for a very interesting and exciting experience. Have you ever danced to ‘kukere’ while preparing the banana mix for muffin? FUN FUN FUN…hilarious…lol…you should try it.
Anyway ooooooooh (which shortens to anywooh..hmmmm). So Anywooh, there you have it oooo (did I mention in the disclaimer that this post might be long? 😀 :-D).
I had planned for the day to go down and end up like this —>>
Instead, It ended up being this 😀 😀 =)) =)) =)) =))
I have no complains whatsoever and I hope you have a fabulous week cos I sure am!!!!! 😀 😀 😀
