Smothering my Parents

The 26th was my first full day back in Nigeria. I woke up next to my parents which was really really nice.

And I slept with them the whole time I was there.

Don't judge me.

I'm usually a head case the first few days back. I go everywhere they go, even following my mom into the bathroom as she pees. My dad's going to put on the generator, I'm going with him. It's not that they're not capable of doing the same tasks they've done without me around for years; I just want to look at them. Being away for so long sucks in a way a lot of people can't imagine. My parents don't live in another state, they live in another country and it's not always easy to see them.

So I hover. Is it normal to sit on the toilet as your mom bathes? I dunno. Do I kind of feel like I'm regressing mentally? Eh, maybe. Do I care? Not really.

So I have a question for those in a long distance relationship with family; do you guys smother them when you visit?

Luckily for me, my parents don't mind me crawling into bed with them. And I dutifully told them they could tell me to get lost if they wanted to have some daddy/mommy time.

: )

I'm Home! I'm Home! I'm Home!

Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

So, my dumb ass saved my posts as docx. documents and I can't access them here. I'm going to skip the massive hissy fit I feel entitled to and go straight to being productive.

The picture above was taken from the plane when I arrived in Lagos. My flights (three stops, three planes) over was uneventful. Lufthansa's vegetarian options suck but their movie options were good.

Oh, I sat across that BET 106 & Park VJ in Canada. He's cute in person.

Back to Nigeria:

I was so happy to be home, this overwhelming feeling of relief rushed over me and

I started crying like a PUNK!

But I collected myself, thank God.

Murtala's airport is located in Ikeja so anyone flying to Lagos is going to land there. I arrived around 6:00 pm and thought to myself "yay, it's still light out! I'm totally going to get home at a decent time."

Obviously, I've been gone for a long time because it took an hour for my bags to show up.

Once I got outside and saw my parents (yay), we spent three hours in the car before getting to Alagbado, the town my parents live in. Let me take this moment to add that the distance between Ikeja and Alagbado is supposed to be an hour. But the traffic is awful so that'll never happen.

By the time we got home, we were exhausted but I wanted to see the house because it's been a while and I wanted to see the changes my parents made to their dream home. After that, my mom made me eat, I washed up and passed out in my parents bed because I'm a baby : )

Natalie Portman's Dior Cherie Commercial is Kinda Meh

No offense to Sofia Coppola, but I'm kind of disappointed. What did you guys think?

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Today is the day; I am finally going to visit my folks in Nigeria and I am beyond psyched! I have awful luck when it comes to traveling and I'm kind of leaving in a rush but I'm praying everything goes well! Either way, you guys will read about it : )

This whole thing won’t be as fun without some questions. I want you guys to ask me anything! No question is too stupid. So what do you want to know? Ask away : )
