Hey my peeps, thank God its Friday!!!
Yay!!!! July is here, my birthday month, I am actually crazy about my birthday(I dunno why???), I look forward to it(no special reasons, other than its my b-i-r-t-h-d-a-y).
Its countdown to the 13th, well I am not one to hold parties on my birthday, but one thing is sure, I give myself a treat on my birthday no matter how busy I am on that day.
Prior to my birthday, I write a thank you note to God in my journal(this yr the journal is replaced with a blog), a prayer-point and gift ideas(this is for hubby so that he does not "mis-buy"...lol, he is at liberty to choose whichever one he wants from the gift list). The items on the list are like the major stuffs on the TTB List .
The day aint ready until there are new clothes to wear and a birthday present from myself to moi(yes ke!don't ask me why). I am not a fan of surprises, as I am too curious and impatient for surprises, either by hook or crook I must know what is up the sleeves..Let me digress small, I remember asking one of my friends getting married on the morning of her wedding where their honeymoon was(I can be an amebo sometimes) and she said she didn't know, that her husband says its a surprise, in my mind I was like forgerrit, if it is me ooo, I will snoop around,ask questions till I have a clue...lailai in my life will I wait for any surprises. (You can be sure I knew my honeymoon location,booked the hotel sef before the wedding day, no room for surprises + I am too much of a planner to let anything just drop on my laps) .
Back to the birthday gist.
Since, this is first birthday as a Mrs, as usual, the excitement as the day approaches still stays(this includes constant announcement to hubby about countdown to the 13th), I have drawn up my prayer-point/gift ideas, then the thank you note is going to come up on blog-ville(not written that yet, but I have a song already which I will post on my birthday), what's left? Birthday clothes and Birthday present from myself to moi.
I decided to put up a list of my prayer-points/gift ideas, and explain why I want them(I always have an explanation for each gift...lol!). So here we go:
1. Prayer-point: I
want all the stress my hubby is getting at work to end,all the harassment and target chasing and ensuring that the organization still makes profit should end. Don't they know he's newly married. (lol!) This work issue is stressing him out, he does not even have his Saturdays in July free, 'cos of work, meetings and networking. They should not allow me to start quoting scriptures for them o. Dear God, you know I don't like when my husband is stressed up, Help his company to do well and make profit for the investors.So we all can be happy Amen!
2. Gift Idea: Vacation- Here I don't mean something elaborate or expensive more like a weekend getaway. This getaway I know will afford the opp
opportunity of all a Lady loves, like- a spa treatment( u know). Infact by this weekend getaway, I am not thinking of where we have to travel by an airplane before we can reach there, I want somewhere we can drive to, a resort or something maybe like Ikare camp or akodo beach in Epe Lagos state or Miccom golf course at Ada, Osun state or whispering palms. I am not so sure of this gift though 'cos of the busy weekends hubby is having in July, this maybe postponed to say August or after.
3. Gift idea: A new car- Not like I am crazy about this or its really necessary, infact buying one this year is not exactly in our budget, but you know a new one won't be a bad change from this "thank God" one I am driving. I can pass on this sha!
4. Gift Idea: E71 or Samsung omnia- This is one likely gift I can expect from hubby, considering the fact
that I lost my E71 last month, and I have made so much noise about missing the phone. The
only thing now is that I am kinda changing my mind about the E71, its all over Lagos(not like Its an issue) but everyone seem to be E71 compliant these days. I was thinking of samsung omnia, though I'm not a fan of samsung, courtesy gsmarena.com, I can see it has features I want in a phone, but I read a review on the phone and I am kinda skeptical about it. We will see sha.
5. Gift idea:Wristwatch- This is most likely present from myself to moi,(If hubby is picking this,then I have to think of something else for moi) I love wristwatches, If someone wants to get me a gift and you don't know what exactly, don't crack your bra
in to hard just buy me a wristwatch:thin strap,metallic strap,small face,large face, named,nameless..I love them all! I am thinking of any of this swatch wristwatches. I hope swatch shop in naija has any of it.
6. Gift Idea: Flat Pumps- I love pumps on casuals, they are so comfy, after rocking heels throughout the we
ek, your feet in a pair of flat pumps.... babe you can never go wrong. This one here is from faith , but I would like to have it in like 2 colors: black and brown(any shade of brown) . This is gift is thrown open to my fanlist. Remember if you are buying this, then buy the two colors...ok?
Not so bad for a birthday gift list abi??? other gift ideas may include, perfumes, jewellries,chocolate(I am watching my weight o!),sweet smelling bath gels etc and of cos birthday wishes.
BTW, remember hubby gave me a gift on his birthday, now I'm thinking what I will buy for him...see me see Jesus! I am planning that I won't give him the gift until a day or 2 after the 13th (when he's probably thinking he's so romantic for giving me a gift on his own birthday....lol!)
****its also going to be my dad's birthday on the 7th and dad-in-law on the 12th********
Alright peeps, do have yourself a great weekend.
ciao
