Practice, Practice.

Last week, during one of the long nights I had to spend in the office, I had to turn to telly at some point to psych me up. What did I watch- a soap! One of the several Spanish Telenovelas on TV. Had quite long name, I can’t remember it.
Anyhow, what always strikes me, is how these guys use endearments!!! They really ‘shower’ themselves. I imagine being called anything apart from my name or the common ones!!! It got me back to one of the several past telephone conversations I’ve had with This Musoga. I remember trying that stuff on him, punctuating each sentence with ‘My Love’!!! At the end of my word parade, a long silence ensured on the other end.
Then finally, ‘Akora, are you OK? Is anything wrong?’
I think Reverse Psychology was getting to This Musoga!! Himself only says those things, in excess, nga he wants you to pull some extra ordinary feats!! But when I tried, I must have sounded like I was going bananas!!
I think I’ll limit ‘My Love’ to the screen, since it’s there on those long days.

Do you remember this last year?
Rachael, This Musoga finaly learnt to delegate. Alexis taught well!!
Imagine my shock at getting flowers on 14th. I must’ve been walking on cloud nine that day that I was even spared running the End of Day!!!

V- Day battles

I must profusely apologise for the updates drought that’s been going on here. In Ugandan- speak, it’s due to unavoidable circumstances.
V- day blues!!!
Last year, at this time, I was in mourning, This Musoga had decided to relegate the day. It would have otherwise gone unnoticed for me, except Himself decided to call a day earlier and very well inform me not to expect anything. In the end, it was more of a reminder of what wasn’t, which was quite……………. (I lack a word there!)
This year, I decided, I wasn’t going to be the one caught on the wrong foot!! I was going to beat the odds, even if Himself decided to call a day before, I was going to beat him to it!!!! The guns came out from the mid- Jan. I tell you, I was winning!!!!
Last Saturday, Max called me and was singing the calypso song “O my commanding wife…..”. Well, I was going to destroy This Musoga’s life!! There even existed a song for this battle! Winning was on my side.
But then it got stolen from under my feet. This Musoga had a bug and my big mouth landed me in problems!! I was put on katebe, eeh, I was now benching!!!
There was nothing a quick fix wouldn’t do! Be Prepared!!! As soon as the coast was clear from all issues, plan was back in action!!!
I think my efforts have been rewarded, as of last night, I was kindly informed that a stranger will give me a call!!
That stranger had better call; else, I’ll sue for leading me on!

Papa, Happy Valentine’s Day, You beat me to it, again.

And Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone else!
