A Beautiful Day

Oh, it's a beautiful day. Today I woke up feeling so high, so elated, I literally floated out of bed. I mean, granted, I just came back from a three week vacation, extremely refreshed. And…Obama's heading to the White House…I mean, that alone. But there's something else, I can't quite put my finger on it. And all the usual factors that tend to get to me – my weight, school, work, they're all still there, all still worrisome. I don't know, maybe I'm just getting older and a little more grateful for the little things in life (like how RR#2 has picked up the term "see me trouble o, ah-ah!" after three weeks in the Motherland)? Or maybe it's the holidays? I love the holidays with all the hustle and bustle…I don't know. And why do I have to find out why I'm happy anyway? Why can't I just be freaking happy for no darn reason? I can see it now: "RED ALERT!! RED ALERT!! Happy for no apparent reason" …lol. Anyway, I'll run with it for now and if I figure it out, I'll let you know. In the meantime, enjoy some of my vacation pictures:




At Bar Beach on Lagos Island

Me being silly at the beach...did someone say "Top Model"?

Cooking a pot of rice on open firewood...it's all about the experience right?

Chilling at one of the newer spots in Lagos- Barcelos. Ok, I felt a little skinny here too...lol.

At the Balogun Marketplace...insane!

You look awesome! I am seriosuly hating and sending 'fat vibes' your way!!! :-) Seriously though, skinny much??? p.s nothing beats the slightly smoky taste of 'jollof rice' cooked on good old firewood. FUNTIMES!!! :-)
