My weekend

As most of you know I made my way to Chesapeake this weekend with Dominic in tow. We left at around 9ish Saturday morning and the drive down was not as bad as I thought it would be. We made it in good time. When we got there we headed to my aunt's house to chill out for awhile. I get to the door and my aunt gives Dominic a hug and forgets all about me..WTF!! But we get inside and I show Dom around and he makes himself at home. Meanwhile my aunt is chatting with him and making sure he's comfortable. Our plan was to take my aunt out for dinner later, but it was about 12:30 then so we decided that we were going to go grab some fried crabs. Actually, I've been talking about these fried crabs for about a year now. I couldn't wait to get home, drop off my stuff, and make a run to Eddie's. So Dom and I head out to get some crabs and make a stop at Big Lots on the way for my aunt. BTW...Dominic was dumbfounded on what the heck a "Big Lots" was. So then we get to Eddies' and I'm trying to explain to him what a fried crab is and that they come in pairs which equals one crab. We ended up getting like 8 crabs=16 crabs, and a dozen steamed crabs. They smelled yummy!!! We got home and devoured the crabs. Dom was in crab heaven. He immediately fell in love with fried crabs and suggested that we find a place in MD that serves them. I told him that I didn't think there were any b/c nobody from MD/DC knows what I'm talking about when I say fried hard crab. Then he starts talking about there has to be somewhere with the fried crabs and if not he wants to open up a spot (don't mind him guys, he's a fried crab virgin and you know how they are after they get a little taste...they are sprung).

After eating we chilled out, had a drink or two (me and my aunt) and watched a little tv. Then we decided to go visit Trina and my niece. We get there and Tiana is acting all shy like she's never seen a man before. Then she pulls me to the side and says, Aunt Tina...is that your boyfriend?" I said yeah and she said "Oh, are yall getting married?" "He live with you?" (she asks alot of questions...very inquisitive...or maybe it's nosy). So Dom is playing with the baby (Tavon) and he is strangely being very quiet. Tavon is usually crying out his lungs when I hold him. So Dom is just holding and playing with him. Thought that was cute.

Then we make a stop at my sister's house and visit her and the kids. She makes us watch home footage that she shot with her video camera (LORD). It was of the kids at random times and at Christmas with Jay trying to open his presents. That was hilarious. He was so neat with the wrapping paper. Each time he tore some off he had to go make a trash run to throw it away. Needless to say it took him forever and my sister and his father had to speed up the process. After being over there for awhile we, along with my sister and the baby, made our way back to my aunts house.

By this time it's almost 8:30 and we figured we needed to head on out for dinner. But my aunt was not ready so she said she would just cook instead. Two of her friends came over and then Kristin and her daughter came over. Oh my gosh...she just learned to walk so she was walking EVERYWHERE. It was too cute. And I didn't think I had to say this, but Girls Rule!! We are so much faster than guys as far as growth. My nephew and Brittany (Kristins daughter) are about 2 weeks apart, my nephew being older, and he still can't walk. He stands up by won't walk. Meanwhile, she is a mover and shaker!! She was walking circles around him. But I think she likes him b/c she kept smacking him in the back of the head and trying to dig up his nose...LOL. So my cousin Nicole comes over and my brother and his girlfriend Lenita (who by the way is much prettier than I thought). My aunt fried fish, shrimp, made cornbread muffins, and homestyle potatoes with peppers...and can't forget the MARGARITAS. We all ate and talked mess when we got in a very heated discussion (feeling like a family reunion). And you know since people had been drinking there were some out of the way comments made which only added to the comedy show I call my family. People didn't leave until around 12:00 and then Dom and I got ready for bed. He slept in the guest room and I slept with my aunt. We woke up early Sunday morning (b/c I had to be back in MD to be somewhere by 3:00). My aunt cooks us breakfast and says her goodbye's.

Then we're off. They whole way home we are trippin out on our weekend and my family. We literally talked the whole way. We get on the road by 10:00 and we are home by 1:00. Take a quick nap then get ready for my meeting (don't want to talk about it...LMAO). He drops me off and then comes to pick me back up. We head to the grocery store, get home he cooks dinner, and we watch the Sopranos.

So thats my weekend in a nutshell (a very looooong nutshell). I had a blast and I'm sure Dominic did as well. I don't think he thought he would have as much fun as he did. My family loves him. By the end of the night he was an honorary member of the family. He even got in a family discussion about the brother and his girlfriend, and Trina. LOL...so hopefully we can do it again.
