Days so far....

I am still exhausted from the rush of the weekend and I am scheduled to go back offshore tomorrow! (Somebody wake me up from this nightmare!)

Anyways, I was offshore last week pondering on the choice of career over social life. You see, with this kind of job I do, it's really difficult if not impossible to have a work-social life balance. Well, it's more of work and less of social life. So my homegirl's wedding was coming up and I was offshore working my ass off. I was forced to ponder on the satisfaction of work versus the loss of social life. It seemed I was going to miss this wedding. 

Suddenly! Like a miracle, an opportunity came up for me to leave the rig for three days! Can you believe it! I was so overjoyed! Calabar here we come!

So I got into town Friday evening and all I wanted to do was sleep! I had been awake for almost twenty hours! You can imagine how I slept....Next day, Road trip! Destination; Calabar! Mission; Let's get married! I started out the journey with a another friend and her two adorable kids (They were planning on how to take over the world through out the journey! Lol!). It was a tiring journey but we got there finally.

Calabar was just as I saw it the last time I was there four years ago; clean and pretty. How I envy all who live there. Life must be really peaceful and easy going. The wedding was lovely. My friend never looked happier! Congrats Eno and Kebi!

Super tired Me!

My friend told me I looked really big in this picture. I don't know how that is possible when my collar bone looks like you can fetch a cup of water from it.

By the way, Lagos Fashion & Design Week has come and gone. I must say I am amazed at the out pour of talent! Nigerian Designers are seriously representing! Check out the Fashion Week's Highlights, Designers, Exhibitions and Awards Here .
