My fun filled first October weekend

Here I was promising to tell you about my weekend and the next one is upon us already!

Friday was a great day! I went to work as usual, came home with my adopted babysis, dressed up and went to pick up a darling friend and his guest -visiting from the US of A... We went to NTYCE for Nigeria Independence Day preParty, and at midnight we were amongst the first to arrive. Awkwardly, we made our way to what seemed like a cosy corner of the room and settled into the odd looking seats available there. So we sat there, and there was a cold breeze coming in from I don't know where, that I had to go out and get my jumper...

Things eventually picked up around 2am, and I danced like I haven't danced in years. Again, I have the to say neither the venue, nor the crowd was my scene, but the company MORE THAN made up for it. We sure had a lot of fun once the music kicked in. To top it all up, there was a surprise performance by Sir Shina Peters... At the end of the night, we went to drop off my friend and his guest, then headed home. We had made plans to have breakfast at 11am with the guys, so they could go on and shop, and I could braid my sis' hair. Well, I woke up at 1pm and it took me almost a half hour to get out of bed. When I eventually did, we made pancakes and I called the guys to reschedule for a lunch meeting. We then started braiding.

We took a brief break when the guys arrived, had lunch with them and continued. We finished just before 10pm, and had to get dressed -again- to go for a friend's birthday party across town. On the way there, we picked up my soulsistah, my sister in spirit, one who makes me laugh uncontrollably, even AT MYSELF and I just knew the outing would be fun, either way. Trust me, it was. We had a great time, the music was fun, the food was fab and the atmosphere was generally so relaxed, we could not have asked for more. At the end of the night, we dropped my friends off one by one, and headed home for a few hours' rest. Got up and headed straight to the guys' place, to drive our 'guest' to the airport and bid him farewell.. back to the US.

From the airport, we headed back to my friend's place, and I just crashed out on his over-comfy bed. He woke up at some point and cooked a fantastic lunch, and I admit I overate, but it was fingerlicking good, and my appetite has never been known to suffer any setbacks. It's now almost 2am and if I don't hit the sack pretty soon, I may not sleep at all again this weekend, we have a few things lined up! More on that later....
