tomorrow

hiya... i be not having much to say except that my birthday was nice... i ate meat like i had never tasted it in all my life. my sis and hubby took me out for a carnivore evening and it iwas ballistic. i got tipsy, got home late and dived for my bed without removing my shoes.

next day, saturday, i had a book launch at church , i was surprised i was up early , my eyes flicked open at 8am and i figured i would be late. with so much running on my mind, i had to figure out renewing travel documents, get passport pictures, then go for the launch and a BBQ later... somehow i dropped renewing the docs to monday coz i was late for the launch.

it was fine but i dozed through it and realised i still had a certain amount of wine in my system.
the highlight of the day was the BBQ, i got to the venue (my pastor's home) at 6pm. and naturally, at every function with familiar people, i am usually given the turntables ( kidding, in this case the computer) luckily i had carried a gadget with music and i was asked to spice up the event with music. well this is coz peeps know my back ground of being a Deejay for about two yrs for a mobile company and i still habitually collect music. so i did my thing. now this BBQ was a do for a friend and evangelist in our church getting married to a kenyan girl (i am going to kenya for something else but it coincides with the wedding date so i might as well attend)so the BBQ was a send off and a party for those who cant travel to kenya.

it was funnnnnnnnn! we ate meat till we dint know our last names, danced and partied like rock stars and cut the yummiest chocolate cake i have ever eaten, and those chapatis, i am still tryna find out who made them. i hardly listened to the bride to be and groom speeches but ...he is good man and he is going to marry a good woman. we sat and joked about how i had 'missed' him and now he had a 'willing partner'.he is one of those guy friends who can tell me anything and i can tell anything without feeling scandalised by the brute honsty.you see, him and i have history, he was the first friend i ever had when i joined my church and he was a friend indeed, so i figured anything for him as he gets married, just like he did for me when i was new in church.just about everyone in my church has had history of some sort with each other...from being room mates and sharing a cup of porridge, to preaching together, to going to school together, crushing on each other etc...and its all this that knits everyone so closely..it feels like family and even more in a momenmt of celebration.
thats what it was like yesterday. so l get home late and walk home with another guy who lives close by from the party.

sunday and i am no where close to waking up.
i am up at 7am and i am thinking 'no way!"
so i sleep again and the next time i open my eyes, a phone call from a friend from church and she's asking about something she lost at the party, i realise its 10.15am service has started.
i got to church on a boda at 11.am attended the service while downloading stuff from someone's external harddrive coz he was leaving in a moment....

and church as usual
was good
it felt like home
like it always does

so now as i write i am planning to go home, cook some and watch the movie 'why did i get married?' i have heard that it is really nice and a good one for marrieds,i cant wait.

i travel on tuesday, got to look after my cousin after her operation, pop in for the wedding and deliver to the groom a collection of 'honeymoon music' he asked me to compile... so until the 10th May.
be good i shall fill you in on the wedding and take pics!
