Top 5 Signs She's About To Pressure You Into Marriage

So I came across this problem letter in the New Vision, from a guy whose girlfriend is pressuring him into marriage.  Something about her biological clock ticking (she's two years older than him) and preferring her eggs fertilized in the morning, not old and wrinkled by the time she's 30.  The poor guy is traumatized because much as he loves his chick, he'd much rather finish school first (he's in his final year) and probably sow an oat or two before settling down.

I think this chick is being very unfair.  Didn't she know what she was getting into when she started dating a younger guy?  Expecting him to put his life on hold just because she's reached a certain point in her life simply isn't fair.  I've taken it upon myself to warn the fellas, at the risk of betraying my fellow women, and give you some inside information to prevent you falling into the same trap as this hapless dude.  Presenting: Siima's Top 5 Signs She's About To Pressure You Into Marriage.

5) She suddenly becomes obsessed with jewellery.  Especially rings.  Don't be fooled- that ticklish thing she does with your ring finger is not an attempt to get you in the mood. It's not her latest bedroom trick- she's taking measurements! Sizing you up! Run, man, RUN!!

4) She keeps dragging you to her friends' weddings. Friends you don't know and couldn't care less about.  As if it's not bad enough that she's making you miss the football to attend a mind-numbingly dull ceremony, she yaps throughout the whole thing, saying stuff like 'If it was MY wedding I'd have done this, or had that artist perform, or had 10 bridesmaids instead of 11, or had a bubble machine instead of a smoke machine...'. That chick has designs on you.

3) She keeps asking who your best friend is.  And not in a 'who-is-your-oldest-friend-from-school' kind of way.  Oh no.  She couldn't care less that your boy Mose chewed vhems on your behalf in S2 when you guys were caught jumping over the fence in shule. She wants to know who you would have as your best man and groomsmen.  Watch out.

2) Her iPod playlist suddenly changes.  Whereas before she was listening to empowering songs like Miss Independent by Kelly Clarkson or I'm Every Woman by Chaka Khan, all of a sudden it's mushy stuff playing every time you sit in her car.  'Let's Get Married' by Jagged Edge.  'Forever' by P Square.  All that wedding stuff. And instead of looking where she's going as she drives, she sings along and looks at you meaningfully. Ever thought of jumping out of a moving car? I wouldn't advise it, but if needs must... Do the necessary.

1) She starts making baby noises.  And no, that's not a euphemism for her bedroom soundtrack.  I mean every time she sees a baby, even an ugly one (yes,they do exist) she makes those annoying coochie-coo noises.  She goes on and on about her friends' babies, and how adorable they are, and she asks you questions like 'would you still love me if I took months to lose the baby weight?'. Gwe, make like Usain and FLEE. THE. SCENE.

Unless of course you DO want to put a ring on it and be stuck with her for the rest of your life.  If so, disregard everything I've said.  Just know you're on your own, dude.

RIP Rosemary

I never met Rosemary Nankabirwa. But I feel so sad at her passing. I feel sad that she succumbed to a disease we are still trying to beat. I feel sad that whoever took the time to announce her death on Twitter couldn't take the time to spell check. I'll put it down to grief. I feel sad that people tried to gain cheap popularity off of her illness. I hope she knew how many people turned out, in their own small way, to help. I hope she knew she was respected and admired. I hope God hears our prayers for her and for her family. I hope. When you lose someone, the world falls out from under your feet. I hope her family is given the time and space they need to grieve and remember her, away from the media, away from those who want to use this to their own advantage. I hope we all learn more about this terrible disease. I hope our government does more to make treatment available for all, regardless of social status. I hope. Rest, Rosemary. You fought your fight.

Untitled (or, my experience in a toxic work environment.)

I’ve been feeling guilty for the longest time that I haven’t posted on my blog for AGES: I even started questioning whether I could legitimately call it a blog anymore, considering how long it had been since I was inspired to write anything worth sharing. But I woke up yesterday and came across an article detailing a toxic work environment and when I tell you I was TRIGGERED. I know that word is used so often these days, but some of the instances described in that article catapulted me back to a situation I found myself in, that I haven’t felt able to speak about publicly. Until now. I consider myself extremely blessed to have worked in different positions where I was able to pursue my passions and dedicate my talents, all the while working with incredible people and learning from the best in the business. I was transferred from a job I loved, and thought I was performing well at (if my performance reviews were anything to go by, anyway). I didn’t understand why I was being mov

Stay Out of My Womb, Stay Out of My Business.

Something happened on air this morning that totally threw me off. We were discussing whether or not a parent should compensate a babysitter, or even a friend, if their child breaks something of theirs.  Like a phone, or laptop.  My stance is, if my child broke something belonging to someone I had asked to look after them, I would feel compelled to refund them or at least contribute towards the cost of getting a replacement. Big mistake, so it would seem. A female listener called the show.  Sternly, she asked me if I have any children, to which of course I answered in the negative.  She went on to say that the only reason I had that opinion is the fact that I do not have a child, as no mother would ask another mother to pay for something broken by a child.  (Please note, she ignored the fact that I said I would feel compelled to refund if my child had broken something belonging to someone else.  I didn’t say that I would demand money from someone if their child broke so
