You hate the fact that you bought the dream when they sold you one...

Of all the songs I heard yesterday, it's the one I didn't care much for that I woke up with in my head. I don't even know the lyrics and kept making them up in my head, actually switching it back to the original line. LOL. Had to look it up and listen to video several times while writing this post. Does it count? I actually liked Drakey drake when he first came out, but now all his radio songs sound just alike. But what is my own? It has made him a superstar abi with millions of fans and money.

Anyway, yay the weekend! I went on a mini shopping spree on Thursday and Friday. I don't know what my issue is sometimes, I am on a BUDGET. Obviously, it means nothing to me. LOL. Tired of being in deprivation mode jo. But I digress.

I went to Walmart looking to buy my succulents but of course, the Wal-mart near my house let me down as it always does. That place is just big for nothing jo. I saw some at the one next to my job, perfect size, looked great. perfect price. I didn't buy it at the time for whatever reason my reasonable self came up with.

But I went to dollar tree to pick up just a dust pan o, and maybe the tulips for my project, see here. Anyway, I walked out 13$ lighter, damn tax. I found these cute crackled flower pots that am going to use for my herb garden. (Clap for me, I picked white instead of blue). Some zen garden thingies that i thought the tray would be perfect for my succulent idea.  So, I had to have my succulents that night to see how they would look, and since the Wal-Mart at work was already behind me, I figured the walmart next to home would do fine since they all carry the same things. My mind was like, remember the half dead live christmas tree you bought from there, that place does not take care of their plants o. But no, I had to have those succulents today as in NOW.  And they fulfilled all my expectations by not having my stuff. Not even my indoor outdoor rug that i needed for my diy moroccan patio rug. But I found this super cute alarm clock for 3$. 

In adding the photos to the post, I somehow lost a paragraph. I was going on about finally receiving my silverware from CB2 (my reward for being gari and sugar free for 4 weeks), and my bedside carafe which i got cos the silverware was $10 bucks cheaper than I thought it would be. Sigh. It was such a nice paragraph, am going to miss it.

Anyway, my second, now third, alarm clock is going crazy out there. I am going to the gym on time today for once (maybe not), and then on to Las Cruces Farmer's market to see what I can see. I hope it's not a big fat disappointment. The reviews are somehow, some praising the place, some saying it's not a farmer's market at all.


In case you care, the actually song i woke up with was: it's my birthday and i'll cry if i want to, i can lie if i want to, you know. only me.

working and the medical student.

Somehow I've become a writer who can't seem to bring herself to write. Okay, so to answer a question posed by bijouxoxo ten thousand years ago. Is possible to work and attend medical school? My biased answer is hell no. Do it at your peril. Medical school is all consuming. It's a jealous beast that wants the student's mind, heart, time, life. That's my word. There's just so much to learn and so little time in the day. Medical schools are trying to improve quality of life by shortening class hours but nevertheless we still spend at least 6 hours per day in class. Enough analysis, let me break it down but keep in mind that every school is different. First Year, first semester: My courses were Anatomy (time consumer), Biochemistry, Genetics, Nutrition, Physicians Patients & Society (PPS, discussing how to be a doc, ethics, customs, etc, luckily only once a week but two hours long, in the afternoon), Longitudinal Preceptor Program(LPP; follow a doctor for 2 yea...

Ojo Monday

As I opened  blogger to write a post, the song ojo Monday jumped to my head. I mourned my unbacked up and crashed ibook immediately. I have so much music that I've lost. I haven't heard that song since 200something. I didn't even remember who did it which is a damn shame cos am a Fela stan. Anyway, rushed to Youtube to find it. They didn't have it, but there is a band called Ogun Afrobeat that did a pretty decent cover considering they don't even speak the language. Turned out it's called by its English name: Monday morning in Lagos: Anyway, all that to say it's Ojo Wednesday and I hope I survive. I worked out yesterday with my trainer. My arms are looking nice per him and me. Am still a bit weak though as in, I don't have much stamina for certain exercises. Anyway, time is already fast spent. I have to go for my jog and yet again I didn't edit my playlist. Why do i procrastinate so! PS. Turns out that I do have that song, must have bac...

Pinterest Cookbook: Recipe 2 -Cannellini & Cabbage Soup

Source: fitnessmagazine.com via oluyemisi on Pinterest This turned out to to be very easy to make, and quite delicious too. Of course I modified the recipe. I added onions to the cabbage, carrots and garlic mix and sauteed that with black pepper and curry. I was generous with the black pepper because it is freezing out here and I need to warm up. Also, I'm battling a bit of congestion.  I used a mix of beans, garbanzo and cannellini, and also added tomatillo and celery. I think I was too generous with the tomato paste, I had a can that I had opened for the black bean chili so I wanted to be done with it so it wouldn't be a waste. It took no time at all to cook, I made this after work on Monday, and it was good and filling and comforting especially after the hectic day that I had.
