Baby Shower A La Extreme

Last weekend was the workout I never expected. Lol. I danced so much that I can promise you I burnt at least 2000 calories! One of my uncles (not my real uncle, but I call every elder uncle) had a baby shower for his wife at a hall by his office.
By the way, I have to mention that this baby shower started at 6pm! My friend had to remind me that such isn't the norm. Lol! Only in Africa are all events classified as late night parties. I love my people sha! We got in by 8pm (Pure African Time). The hall had no A.C. As in...kpata kpata! My sister and I walked into a wave of heat, but embraced it with open arms. We had to remind ourselves to dare not forget that we come from the motherland and refused to act bougie at such a special event. I had a hunch before leaving my apartment to bring my hand fan and I was so glad that I followed it! It was ever necessary! My uncle kept on apologizing because he had two cooling units and a fan but they weren't enough to keep the room cool. We assured him that all would be fine.
The food was absolutely delicious, company was great and after a while the music moved us all to the dance floor. I told everyone that I would only engage in small shaking of the body, but #Gbedu was full blown that night! I wore a maxi dress that was made of a light cotton and after two hours of being there, I was drenched all throughout my body. I was competing on the dance floor with people, taking it down low and cautiously bringing it up (I've realized that my knees aren't as youthful as they used to be, but I must never let it show. Lol!) I was so embrassed at how sweaty I was but my girls made me feel better. They kept on saying that nobody could tell, but I knew it was pretty visible. I was just glad that it was evident that I was sweating so much because of no A.C and my continuous movement. I was even outside taking in some air and one man asked "Have you had enough?" Lol...I said "NO!". It was such an epic night and I'm so happy that we beat the heat, I even ended up having one dance partner at the end and we were both killing it!
My uncle was so glad that we could make it and thanked my crew and I for making the event a success. Congratulations to the happy couple on their upcoming arrival of their new bundle of joy!

This uncle said he must be in this photo by power by force

My girl Michelle took these photos very well. You can't 'really' see all the perspiration caused by the #EverlastingGbedu

Fried and jollof rice with goat meat never tasted this good! #Yummy
