mojo lost

this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2 which then became efx2blogs). in the end, the final incarnation (efx2blogs) went down one too many times for me, so i switched to blogger. i was able to recover most of my older stuff (efx2) from archive.org. some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.

oh where oh where has my mojo gone,
oh where oh where can it be?

my mojo may be missing in action, but wifey just made me laugh so hard i cried. wifey, you see, is cuban. not even american born cuban. i'm talking born in cuba, lived in spain kind of cuban. we are talking hot latin blood to the max. she has, however, lived here since she was in elementary school. even so, she still pronounces some words with a spanish accent. i still think its cute, but i am used to it, for the most part. but tonight she just cracked me up. i was telling her about having lost my mojo and serious as a heart attack, she said to me "why did you lose your moyo, baby?" (moyo, not mojo) i think i fell over, literally. she looked at me completely bewildered and asked what i was laughing at. i explained "baby, its mojo, not moyo", but it only confused her more. she looked at me, serious as can be again and said "thats what i said. moyo" which only made it worse for me. she proceeded to tell me that it was just like the character on the powerpuff girls. you know the one. the monkey? moyo yo yo? at this point i was on the bed in hysterics. to her credit, she was laughing too and actually getting right a few times. between fits of laughter, i told her "oh i am SO blogging about this tomorrow" to which she said "i'm not speaking to you" and continued laughing and trying to say mojo over and over, and asking "did i get it right?" after each one. we were laying down at this point and as she drifted off to sleep, she was still mumbling "moyo. moyo yo yo. mojo. mo jo jo"

i swear i love that woman.
