Good morning everyone! I'm really having a hard time biting my tongue this morning. *sigh*

I'm still sleepy *yawn*.

What are everyone's plans for the 4th?

Hopefully it is not something on VJ.



My sisters came in yesterday so we are going to spend the weekend doing all kinds of fun stuff

Unfortunately, it is VJ related.

Where did your sisters come from? That sounds like a lot of fun.

See the above convo on sleep...



See the above convo on sleep...

I am going to a BBQ for the 4th... Nothing out of the ordinary....



I think I know what you are talking about ...BUT hold it boo...hold it!




Oh Nagi...your a young girl too!!!

Don't bite your tongue, L.L.

ok, as far as the 4th, I have no plans but to try to keep the dogs settled from the neighbours insipid firecrackers poppin' for days on end.

BBQ's sound like fun. We are going to one, too. It's kinda like a family day in the park.


Asante, I'm tryyyyyyyying!

You really shouldn't encourage me because I'm already thisclosetolettingitout.

What kind of dogs do you have? They've already been popping them in my neighborhood. Since Monday, to be exact.

I can't with you!!!! You are tooooooooooooo funny! ...Yes, that many O's

The sisters and I are going to hang out with a friend of ours in Philly. We are going to see both John Legend and Boyz II Men

And we are going to do some wedding stuff.....I feel like it is never going to end



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

You made me laugh, L.L. !!!!
I have a German Shepherd Dog and a Beagle. Both are old, but since the Beagle was previously, severely abused, she hears the poppin' and has been known to have seisures. She is really old now and Im worried about her flippin out.
Yep, they usually start practicing for the 4th around June 15th in my culture starved neck of the woods.


Im so jealous!

Did I mention it is all FREE

You are so lucky, Zee! Motown Philly...wish I was there.

Wedding stuff? I feel for you!

And as for your response to LL, are you really surprised?

I have a rant about people stirring up sh!t on VJ....a nice long rant. I am saving it for the appropriate time

Now I'm pissed!!!





I'm scared of you, ZEE!!!

No, and now Im even more jealous. My love and I had our first dance to " I'll Make Love to You" and " Colour of Love ".

OMG, I'M ROFL!!!

Look at this little kid dancing in an orphanage in Liberia.

That's very sexy... I mean romantic...AW heck I mean both

I can't see it, LL

Zee, free wedding planning...you can't go wrong with that! Have fun..

I'm scared of Zee, too...

Sorry, I suck at posting Youtube videos...It's there now.

The funny thing is that my husband can dance like that.

Trust me, it was....

I am ROFL!!!! I would love to see your hubby do that dance!!!!


don't worry you will soon have a chance to reenact that very moment!

The best part is when the kid put his hands on his hips...LOL!

Yes, the SO is pretty good at it. Don't let him get a little alcohol in his system...he starts doing the "Liberian whop" all over the place.

Aww Nagi, that is so cute

Yep, in about anoither month???

Oh...have mercy!!!


I am happy for you, mama

Thank you! It has been a long journey. It is like a dream, and I will believe it all when he is in my arms.

I know what you mean. I felt the exact way...I think we all have or feel that way too.

That is wonderful news, Naggi! It seems to have been a long journey for the both of you. I can't wait to hear how he is adjusting once he is here.

Yep, we started our initial journey in March 2006.

It's been a long time. I understand how you feel. Thank God, he is almost here!!!!

That was long ago, but your light at the end of the tunnel is shining bright. Praise God that you journey is almost over.

I will definitely do my special when he gets here

ok so I have a funny story for you all...at my expence....

So I only live about a mile from my office, so I have the bright idea to walk...it was not too hot this morning...its only a mile...So off I go!!! I had a nice conversation with Omoba on the way it was a great walk. The last 4 blocks are a steady incline uphill, not to bad but a good little workout there at the end.

I get here to the office and my team mates are all so proud of me Great Job they tell me. I sit at my desk to log in to my puter and then I go get some water then I make a trip to the potty and holy cow!!!

You see I was sweating after my walk and it ran down my back and made a nice spot on the back of my capris!!!! OMG what the heck?? Me and my big ideas right?? It is so noticeable my capris are brown and so the spot is DARK brown. My team has now had a nice laugh at my expence... but they are still proud of me for walking.

Oh the suggestions they have given me to correct my *ahem* probelm

Thanks, y'all! Yes, I will not give us one ounce of credit, but I give ALL the credit to God. Through Him, ALL things are possible.

Boooooo, just admit it....You still pee in your pants, huh? Drank too much warm milk before you went to bed last night? You know, the first step to correcting the problem is admitting that there is a problem. C'mon, we're your friends...your secret will be safe with us.

@ LL

See, I'm not even going to laugh at you Perseverance. I too sweat easily and I hate it....It's soooooooo embarrassing!!!

I'm glad you can laugh about it though


Of course! Faith is what keeps us sane too!!!


You are too bad!

You know that's right!

Asante, her story reminds me of another story.

Ahem, I'm not getting any work done today

You too??? I thought it was just me.

It was not in the right area to be pee

It looked WORSE!!!

I think you get the gist of what I am talking about...

Happily I went back to the potty a few minutes ago and it dired I am GOOD

Yes I can laugh at myself I do it all the time...heck I laugh at everyone else why not myself???




I have a half day today

This process can really make you feel like you are losing it! It is not natural to be so far away (for long periods of time) from your mate. The feeling it leaves you is similar to losing some one who you are very close too. It evokes emotions you never knew you had.

BUT...

When they finally get close to you!!!!! There are no words that could express those feelings. Oh the joy! You are going to be there soon, my dear...and when you are there, you are probably going to take a sabbatical from VJ so you can make up for lost time...


You are dead wrong!!!!

One day I have to tell that story on VJ....I might just start a thread...."Embarrassing moments Abroad"





Slackers... tsk. tsk.

P .......depends for you tomorrow.

We had a thunder storm last night that kept me up ........it lasted forever. So I got up in the middle of the night looking at visa papers

I am just waking up.

I see you guys all had your 2. cup of coffee this morning

Looked worse? OMG...I got you

You are right...it's just as fun laughing at yourself

LL , the little boy really has talent.

I also laughed at the dog chasing the chicken in that video.


Laughing at your SO doing the dance

Ohhhh, Asante, this really makes me think of you now. ROFL! Anyway, who said your story was the one I was thinking of? You said it, not me.




Yes, please do...I'll have to include the time that I bust my butt on Liberia.




Okay!! Doesn't he??
