This weekend I discovered that I am an awful gambler. I suppose that this is for the best, seeing as how I am an impoverished African child and all. We were at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, and I was doing pretty well at first. I just wanted to cash out and go after about 20 minutes. However, I was told that this was not “the way to gamble.” One would think that the process would have been made easier due to the fact that it was not my money that I was gambling. But no. Every 5 cents that I lost made me want cry. It was so painful. Never again. On the bright side, they have an awesome lunch buffet there (for $25:p).

Also on the bright side, the parents went to Ohio for the weekend. Ohio. I know. Who goes there? On purpose? I only know 3 people who have actually LIVED in Ohio, and all of them have since left. However, apparently this was the ideal location for my dad’s high school reunion. Mind you, he went to high school in some bush in the middle of Ghana, or something like that. So how they settled on Ohio… Who knows? And they DROVE. 8 hours. I am sure they probably drove passed at least 3 klan meeting locations during this time. I almost felt bad for them. Pray that, to bless them for surviving this journey, God will allow them to go to Ghana for a month this summer. Pray hard. >:]

I attended Dr. One’s dholki this weekend. Everything was so beautiful!! And, of course, the bride-to-be was even more stunning than usual. I still gave her a run for her money though. >:] Everyone and everything was so gorgeous. The food was wonderful. The music, lovely. I am tempted to throw one myself. But I do not have a gazebo to pimp out like she did. Nor am I engaged. Nor Muslim. All small details really. The entire backyard was manicured like some English garden… but that gazebo… Especially at night with the lights on… Amazing. As already stated, I looked good too. >:]

I should note that the photos of me were taken after the party at MY house! Which is a giant mess right now since the shipping container does not arrive until next weekend. :p Dr One’s house looked as amazing on the inside as on the outside. I think that I will move in with her. At least until her wedding. I am sure that they will kick me out for that night. >:] Eww. So jelly.
