Since my last blog post was absolutely pointless and all it had was pictures to describe different dances that had to do with titles of songs, I thought that I would actually write in a post that has some meaning to it (if that makes any sort of sense). So, the title of my blog is called "It's Amazing" because there's so many things that I have realized about myself and "it's amazing" that it took me this long to finally see it. So, here goes nothing (oh and by the way, pictures will be added with this just for fun):
It's Amazing that after being alive for 29 years, I am still the
woman that I was when I was in high school. Not to mention the fact that I still have that spunk and it amazes me that James still loves me just the way that I am.
It's Amazing that I can still act like a kid when I am around my nephews and they find it amusing. I can blow bubbles
and no matter how big or small I make them, my nephews want to do the exact same thing. Even playing video games with them and beating a particular boss makes them smile so just to make my nephews beam is such a wonderful thing.
It's Amazing that I still love to wear dresses or the fact that I am still a "girly girl".
No matter what the occasion it is, I love wearing them. Even when I hung out with just the "boys", I still wore dresses and they (the boys) found it odd that I wouldn't want to wear jeans or shorts. Even in elementary school when it was "gym day", I would still wear dresses just to get out of doing the exercises that the gym teacher planned that day.
It's Amazing that the two occasions that I have worn make-up are my wedding and prom and haven't worn make-up since.
James doesn't really care either way. I guess I am not such a "girly girl" after all. Then again, I do love getting my nails done every now and then and wearing lip gloss isn't a bad thing, is it?
It's Amazing after being married to James for four years, we still feel like newlyweds. We haven't fought at all, still chase each other,
tell each other everything, and most of all, tell each other that we love them. The fact that he can still make me laugh when I am having a bad day or just lean on his shoulder so I can put my head on it is such a wonderful thing.
It's Amazing that I can still say that
. God has always been there for me when I am down, sad (same thing, I know), or just need someone to talk to whether James is here or not and it's amazing that He is listening when you are crying, laughing, or just thinking in your head. God is here no matter what.
It's Amazing that I still love to read.
Reading anything and everything from mysteries to autobiographies still amaze me like it did when I was in college. Granted, I was an English major and I had no choice but to read I still find it fascinating.
It's Amazing that no matter how many times I say that I won't be drinking any more soda,
I still do. Although I haven't consumed as much as I did in the past, I still drink it and I shouldn't be drinking soda period. I should either be drinking tea (without caffeine of course), juice, or water. Granted, while I am at work, I do drink more water because at the Pharmacy we have a water filter and I go through my water bottle like it is running out of style. I know that I can stop drinking soda or just limit myself to one can a day. I can do this, I can do this. I just have to keep on reminding myself that I can.
It's Amazing that I became an American
citizen almost six years ago. It seems so much longer than that. I guess it's because I have been in this country for 28 years! Goodness gracious, where has the time gone?! Although I am glad that I am a US Citizen, I still yearn to go back to Nigeria to see my brothers, sisters, and my new niece. Seeing my new niece would make my day. I have received pictures and she's adorable just like I thought she would be.
It's Amazing that I still can't dance. Going to Nigerian parties are embarrassing because they (friends and family)
stand there and watch me dance (or whatever I am doing) and find it funny that I can't do it. Even at my own wedding, I was glad that I was surrounded by my younger sister because she couldn't dance either. I mean I can slow dance (then again, who can't?) but I just wish that I could fast dance. My Mother and older sister dance very well and I guess I get it from my Father because he can't really dance either.
It's Amazing that I have lived in Ithaca, New York on and off for four years and I still get
. Just last week, I was visiting my mother-in-law and when I was walking back home, I couldn't find my way back. I had to call her on my cell phone to ask her where I was. Pretty sad, isn't it? Sometimes it's almost as if I need James to walk with me everywhere and anywhere so I won't get again. Then again, I was walking back in the dark and things look different when you are walking in the dark versus daylight right? Yup, you got it, I am making excuses and I shouldn't. One of these days,weeks, months or even years, I will know Ithaca like I know the back of my hand.
It's Amazing that I have been out of college for five years and high school for almost twelve. Last year was my 10 year high school reunion and I couldn't make it and I heard it wasn't really worth going so I am not too disappointed that I missed it. And in college, you really don't have a reunion; more like if you want to go to the Homecoming Football game you can see people there. Then again, chances are you won't see the people you went to school with unless you call them and make plans.
It's Amazing that I have been a Pharmacy Technician for four years and people (or just one particular Pharmacist) still think that I don't know what I am doing. It doesn't take rocket science to input a prescription, count pills, or ring out a customer but this Pharmacist thinks that whenever I have a question, I should go to him. When I called another store to ask a question and the Pharmacist answered it for me and instead of letting me talk to the person on the other line, he pushed the receiver button. That made me mad, but what can you do? Even when Joe was here, he really doubted that I knew as much as he did if not more. All the technicians that I work with now versus then, they would always ask me questions and I would answer them. Now, it's like a competition on who can give the better answer. There's nothing that I can do about this except for answer the questions that anyone is willing to ask me.
It's Amazing that even though I haven't seen the first two High School Musicals,
I want to see them including the latest one. Sad, but true. I have heard nothing but good things about these movies and I am always willing to give a movie a chance (especially the fact that my cousins love them).
It's Amazing that there are still celebrities out there that have morals and stand ground on them. Take The Jonas Brothers
for instance. They wear purity rings on their left ring fingers and proclaim that they are saving themselves until marriage. Even Jordin Sparks wears one. I am sure that there are many more people out there that proclaim abstinence until marriage, but you don't hear them publicly speak out like these people so go them!
It's Amazing to find a song or two called "Amazing" one by George Michael and the other by Seal. By far, my favorite one is by George Michael. And just for the heck of it, I thought that I would share the lyrics with everyone.
Amazing by George Michael:
I was mixed up when you came to me
Too broke to fix Said 'daddy get you gone, I'm missing my baby'
Still missing my baby I was stitched up by the hands of fate
Said how you gonna make it on your own If luck is a lady?
Maybe luck is a lady I was going down for the third time
My heart was broken, I was not open to your suggestions
I had so many questions That you just kissed away
Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise
The day you walked in and changed my life
I think it's amazing, The way that love can set you free
So now I walk in the midday sun
I never thought that my saviour would come
I think it's amazing I think it's amazing
I think you're amazing You tried to save me from myself Said
'Darling, kiss as many as you want! My Love's still available
And I know you're insatiable'
We're like victims of the same disease
Look at your Big Bad Daddy, and your mom
And your mom...was always acting crazy
I was going down for the third time My heart was broken,
I though that loving you was out of the question

Then I saw my reflection Saying please don't let this go
Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise
The day you walked in and changed my life
I think it's amazing, The way love can set you free
So now I walk in the midday sun
I never thought that my saviour would come
I think it's amazing I think you're amazing
Celebrate the love of the one you're with
Celebrate, this life with you baby
I think you should celebrate yeah
Don't put your love in chains baby
No no, walk in the midday sun
I though I was dreaming I think it's amazing
I think you're amazing
I said celebrate the love of the one you're with
As this life gets colder And the devil inside
Tells you to give up
Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise
The day you walked in and changed my life
I think it's amazing, The way love can set you free
So now I walk in the midday sun
I never thought that my saviour would come
I think it's amazing I think you're amazing
Celebrate the love of the one you're with
Celebrate, this life with you baby
I think you should celebrate yeah

Tells you to give up
It's Amazing that I am still going on with this blog. I should shut up now. That's one bad habit I still have; once I start writing I can never stop and sometimes it ends up in gibberish and stuff that wasn't really relevant to what I was talking about to begin with. OK, I am done. Have a good night everyone and God Bless!
