Well so far this year:

- Fulfilled a medium-sized goal by going to NYC. where I really want to go cost more and I figured why not NYC? I loved it and I intend to go back

- Learned more about myself. I have so many sides!

- Saved money for a downpayment on a house. Got my family involved and now we’re building a house! yay! God is good

- Quit a job that was depressing me, climbed out of a dark place, found a new job and went shoe shopping to celebrate!

- Bought the Sex and City DVD collection. This is not a goal but it’s helped me pass many boring hours watching these crazy/sexy/dumb/shallow ladies waddle their way through what they consider life and love.. I hope that’s not what NYC does to a person

- Listened to a lot of audiobooks. Read a lot of internet gossip and generally been less stressed than in 2005.

- Filed my taxes after a long ‘hiatus’ from doing so. I am anti-establishment. ( But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to own a Nike or a CocaCola one day ) Anyway doing so, I happily pocketed a sizeable refund. Some shoes in my closet are courtesy of the gov’t and I for one consider it money well spent ( except for the pink suede steve maddens I tossed a month ago. )

All this and it’s only July…

Well the story began with a twinkle in my… oooh ok I’ll fast forward 9 months.

I was born in Nigeria… I have since left with my family. I now reside in North America.

I work with computers but what I really want to do is retire :-) Until then I do love what I do. I like it because it’s challenging, I’m constantly learning and I don’t have to be overly agressive or worry about much.. it’s pretty relaxed is what I’m trying to say.

Most of my goals are on 43things. I am tryign my hardest at the top one’s I’ve already done a few but I want to see if they will last. I am a story still evolving so I can’t really say much….

My favourite things in the world include sleeping and relaxing ( when I’m not sleeping )

I love to eat, listen to books, listen to music, fantasize about lives I’ll never live and dream about what life would be like when I reetire. I like to think I’m a creative person. I would love to write one day… My psychic says I’ll be married one day but I’m sure she was just being nice.. besides I don’t think I’m anyone’s ideal wife… I’m not into being anyone’s slave,trophy,cook,child-bearer and all the other synonym’s for the word “wife”. Doesnot mean I don’t want to be someone’s Queen.. but when that happens he better plan on hiring someone else to do the hard labour, or do it himself.. More on my psychic later…
