A Present For Aijay

I had wanted to do this for about seven months now, ever since I started blogging, however, time and events always seemed to conspire to put it on the back burner.

You know how you see people's 'names' on blogville and you sort of know them by their comments and with where they visit, Aijay was one I was reminded of by frequently seeing a car drive by with a personalised registration that closely matches her name although I had never been to her blog pages before today and our paths did not cross on blogville.

Again, a few weeks ago, I saw a post by someone I cannot now recollect, asking 'where is Aijay?', and I was reminded to write this. It took this long because the car would not 'sit still' until a couple of weeks ago when I went to make some purchases at Staples the stationers, and i saw it parked. Took a quick picture with my phone, and now, here we are Aijay, a present for you.

Mommy said...

So I was visiting someone's blog and saw the way 30+ could not contain her joy for a 'tear leather car present waiting for Aijay'. Got here and found out its not just a tear leather; it's got her name written on it...or so I am meant to presume. I'm positive getting one with my name written on it wouldn't be difficult. Or would it...Jintaaaaaa? How are you today?

Okay so truely, where's Afro?
