Labor day!!! Today is the last official holiday of the summer. Sniff sniff. I guess I have a couple more weeks before I’m freezing down to my bones. Better enjoy the warmth while it last. Every single person who has found out I’m from the South has warned me that I’m not ready for the weather and that it will be COLD. Ok… ya’ll are scaring me now. Am I going to curl up and die of frost? Oh boy!!
Yesterday afternoon we went to Sam’s house. She is working it!!! Her house is beautiful. That’s what I’m talking about. One day, baby!!! I’m trying to get where she is. We sat around for a while, until the sisters realized that it was 60 minutes night. We had to leave to make sure we didn’t miss that. No, can’t miss that!!! While we were sitting in the yard, I kept eyeing the alcohol. Here’s where I sound like an alcoholic. It had been more than a week since I had a drink. Not that I drink all the time, but I like a lil something now and then. I was on the verge of swigging back my Listerine. Just joking!!! Anyway, I was surrounded by bottles of Heineken, Goose, wines of different flavors. Awww, ya’ll killing me. I wondered how my new aunties would take to me throwing some back. I sat for a while watching all the grown folks do their thing. I finally decided… hell I’m grown and I wasn’t in their house. Give me a cup. I finally decided to get me a cup of wine. AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! I’m not sure if they knew or not what I had, but at that point I didn’t care. Finally, a drink!
I bought my ticket to go home last night. I am spending entirely too much money to go home one week after leaving. Arg. I didn’t plan on going home until next month. Now I don’t think I’ll be going back until Turkey time. Oh well. You gotta do what you gotta do. Dr. Talley gon have to hook me up or something. Toothpaste for a year or something. It’s ok though. I get to hang out for a bit. It will be nice to sneak in for a few days. I’m anxious to see a few folks. I’m scheduling my time with them now.
Today I got up kind of slow. I woke up around 9 and talked on the phone, but when I got off I rolled right back over. When I finally walked downstairs it was full of folks. Ms. L decided to cook-out. I spent the majority of my day on the back porch with food on my plate and the wind in my hair. Speaking of hair, mine has got to be done. I asked Ms. L if she would put her hands in it tomorrow. She said she would get back to me. I’ve got to ask her again cuz if not I will be seeing Kristy when I go home this weekend too.
That’s about it for today. I’m about to go get me another plate of food and transfer myself upstairs. Ummmm, chicken, ribs, potato salad. I better not put my weight back on. I’m doing so well with my weight. I plan on being fine when I return in November. Moving on… I’m downstairs right now. Ms. L turned the TV to the news and went to sleep. I’m bored so it’s time to go.
