What's Good Blog Fam...?

So obviously, your favorite blogger took a much needed hiatus from Where the World Goes When I Close My Eyes... I had at least a dozen people hit me up over the weekend asking about the blog... well I'm here now... this is what I got into this weekend...


THURSDAY:
I blogged a little bit but ultimately that day was dedicated to getting everything done that I knew I wouldn't do this weekend... Mrs. Hard Work came down and it had been about two weeks since we'd last seen each other so we decided that we'd spend this weekend in Charlotte... of course, we get back to Durham Thursday night and she hasn't packed yet... LOL... too tired to pack that night, we just went to bed...

FRIDAY:
Friday was cool... she woke up early and got packed and we set off for Charlotte... the main reason to go down there was to get tattooed at Fu's Customs... so we figured if we left Durham around 9, we'd get there by 12 when they opened... get tatted and by the time we finished and got some food, our hotel room would be ready by check-in time at 3... well, we got there around 10 'til noon but some other dude had already made an appointment for a consulation (whatever the fuck that is) so they told us to come back at 4:30... so then we had to kill time which included getting lost on the freeway, going to Wal-mart and getting some food and then parking in the back of middle school to eat... LOL... it was more fun than it sounds... at 3, we went and checked in at the hotel which was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY worse than the one we're used to here in Greenville and I could tell Nicole didn't like it but being the boyfriend, I tried to make the best of it... we hung out for a little bit until it was time to go get tattoos... I got a koi fish to cover up two REALLY bad tatts from four years ago and Nicole got a custom design on her foot... (I had pics but left the damn cord in Nicole's car so be patient... LOL) CRAZY, STUPENDOUS, MAGNIFICENT SHOUTS TO THE HOMIE JOEY AT FU'S CUSTOMS... my nigga's work is fucking incredible and he will definitely be my tattooist from now on... after that, we were supposed to go to the movies and to dinner but wifey's foot was hurting too much so we just called it a night... on the way in, Nicole got into it with the lady at the front desk and immediately she wanted to leave... however, it was late and we were both tired, so rather than stay until Sunday which was the plan, we just decided to leave Saturday morning...

SATURDAY:
Before we even left the tel, Nicole's sister called from Fayetteville and said she was having a July 4th cookout and if we wanted to come through, we were invited... I was a little wary at first... I hadn't met any of her family other than her sister Stacie and I was kinda nervous especially since it was like a last minute thing... but since we weren't planning to stay in Charlotte any longer and didn't really have anything else to do, I said "Aight, let's go..." The trip there wasn't that bad... we actually stopped at this ice cream place in Anson County who have the world's best ice cream (and I'm not even an ice cream person like that) on the way there and just chilled out... upon reaching Fayetteville, we hit up Wal-mart and it was just an experience to say the least... LOL... I saw a dude shaving in the bathroom sink... homie had shaving cream and everything... LOL... then we came across this man-woman in electronics and I still don't think we got confirmation on whether it was a guy or a girl... in any event, we got to her sister's house and all my nervousness pretty much went away when I got there... everybody was cool and nobody asked me any strange or personal questions... I had a really great time... we stayed until about 9 and then we headed down the road so that she could meet my fam for the first time... that went ok even though Doo-Wop was treating me like some kinda stranger or something... unbeknownst to me, my dad showed up... and it just went from ok to REALLY fucking bizarre... he was just acting like an asshole to me... but because Nicole was there (she knows the relationship we have) I just tried to be calm and keep it cool... and she acknowledged it afterwards and said how much she appreciated me for it...

SUNDAY & MONDAY:
Sunday and Monday were lazy days for me and the wife... we just really hung out and watched some movies... on Sunday we saw Paul Blart Mall Cop and that had some pretty funny parts... it wasn't better than Observe and Report but was still pretty good nonetheless... on Monday we watched Gran Torino... Gran Torino was cool... a lot of bad writing in my opinion and some major plot holes but still a decent flick... I don't think I'll be adding it to my collection however...


All in all, it was a pretty good weekend... I'm so glad to have meeting her family out of the way because it was seriously making me nervous if they would like me or not (Nicole told me I'm the FIRST guy she's ever brought home minutes before we walked in the door which just made me even more nervous) and I'm definitely pleased with the way my tatt came out... I really cannot stop looking at it... LOL... I'm ready to get this sleeve all the way finished before the summer's out... plus it was nice to just take a break from ECU, the blog, etc... but the kid is back on his shit...
