Tribute to Habs(a Ba)

Helena, or Habsa Ba (her name in Bababe) is moving on to bigger and better things. Early termination of service is when people decide the clear and sunny skies of California, or other places in the US, are better than the dusty winds and 130 degree heat of Mauritania. In other words, the people that ET are probably a bit more sane than the rest of us. Hence, Habs is ETing.

Why I will miss Habs:

1. she actually knows something about health, so she keeps me informed
2. i like having pulaar contests with her- despite the fact that she always wins...actually, i will miss competing with her, but am glad that my pulaar is going to be waaay better than hers in 17 months
3. i will miss reminiscing about the strife of Bababe and all the ways we kept each other sane
4. i will miss watching her hair change from long and flowy, to mohawk, to crazy shaved-ness.
5. lastly, i will miss her amazing mix of being chill and a get 'er done-ness.

(love ya, habs. take care over there- and send us lots of packages.)
