If i had ANY sense whatsoever, i would have taken today and tomorrow off to catch up on some sleep and some cleaning since this weekend lacked both. You guys, I am SOOOOOO happy. *smiling all cheesy* I had a Waaaaanda-ful birthday! *clapping* Starting friday, everything just flowed so nicely. TG takes birthdays very seriously, so he'd been saving for it. He had to cuz he had presentS for me everyday. lol So, here's the quick and dirty err...undirty rundown of my weekend.
Friday- Got to work and was greeted by a cute little b-day card from my co-workers. I'm very sad to report that there was no money in it. lol...But it was still sweet. They ended up taking me to lunch at La Fonda Latina. At first i was NOT feeling it. It looked like a run down hole-in-the-wall place...but u know what they say... it's always a good sign if there's a lot of people there. And La Fonda's was PACKED. We pretty much had to park on the street and walk to the restaurant. The place had lots of character but I wasn't too impresses still. lol. All 14 of us walked in and looked around the cramped spot and decided to go upstairs to the patio. Once up there, I began to feel better. I love being outside. We sat down and enjoyed the scenery and each other. I looked over the mexican-cuban based menu and chose to go with the quesadillas bistel (with rice and beans of course. lol) and it was surprisingly delicious. I mean, REALLY delicious. I wanna go again. lol. Anyway, they sung happy b-day to me and we were finally back at the office about 2.5 hours later. I ended up leaving work a little early because i was bored and anxious to start my weekend. So I sped home...only to be greeted by traffic. YUCK! I ended up getting home about my normal time. lol... I guess it was good i left a little early or i would have been behind schedule. Anyways... i showered and did my thang. I couldn't wait to see TG. With our schedules the way it is... we pretty much see each other on the weekends only...so by friday, i can hardly wait to jump into his arms and be showered by his hugs, and kisses, and I love you's. I finally managed to get so fresh and so clean, clean. My huuur was laid. I looked stunning if i do say so myself. Too stunning to be just going over my baby's house to put on some pj's, eat cookies and cream ice cream and watch all our favorite movies. lol. But when i saw him, that's all i wanted to do. I didn’t wanna be out and about. I didn’t wanna share. I wanted us to enjoy US. And we did just that. I got there with my overnight bag…and he looked amazing. He was just as decked out as I was. I kept thinking to myself… “I did GOOD!” *pat on my back* lol We embraced each other and that was all she wrote…within 10 minutes we were curled up on the couch watching Diary of a Mad Black Woman and eating ice cream. All plans…cancelled. That moment was priceless.
Before bed he told me he wanted to give me one of my presents then…since it was technically my birthday. After his whole “I love you and adore you” speech that left me in tears, he made me cover my eyes before revealing a dozen beautiful multicolored roses. NONE of which were red. I don’t like red roses. Ugh! (sorry delta’s) Here's a pic... sorry it's not a good one. *shrug*
He also gave me a beautiful gold bracelet-watch. I was so happy. I wore it to bed. lol (sorry no pic… I don’t have that one on today)
(edit 8.2.05: i do have on the watch today...so here's a pic. k,bye)
Saturday- I was awakened by the most tender shoulder kiss I’ve ever received. I felt every ounce of love he felt for me in that kiss. It was so deep it woke me out of my sleep. Smiling, we gazed at each other for a while and then he told me happy birthday… again…for the umpteenth time. I forgot to mention that Friday, he had a birthday countdown. lol. Every hour on the hour from about 7am Friday morning, he’d text me “happy birthday, ___ more hours!” along with some beautiful words expressing his love. *dreamy sigh* He’s good. After I said thanks, he took me by the hand, and we prayed and thanked God for life and etc.
Our first outing was waffle house. I jokingly told him that no birthday is complete without waffle house. It seems that every year, I manage to wind up there. This is the first time that I was glad about it though. A sista was HUNGRY! lol.
We went apartment hunting. I found one I kinda like, but I’m still looking. I got plenty of calls from people I wasn’t expecting one from. Isn’t that how it always is? The people that you just KNEW was going to call…didn’t. But the ones you didn’t even think knew or remembered your birthday…did. My good friend Mr. Poop sent me some pretty daisies. (note to self: I have GOT to get a better camera phone… this camera sucks)
Around 2:30, TG popped another gift on me. lol We were in his car jamming to Commisioned and he told me to open his glove compartment. There was a long kay jeweler’s box there. I smiled excitedly and opened it. There lay a beautiful diamond and topaz colored bracelet. (TG loves blue) I tried to take a pic of it just now, but again, it’s not clear and does the bracelet NO justice. You can't even see the beatiful blue stones. *frowning at pic below*
Anywho… I’m in the car jumping up and down excitedly and thanking him by grabbing his neck and pulling him over to me so I could kiss his cheek and neck. Um…I forgot he was driving. *looking down in silence* Aaaaaaaaanywho… he managed not to crash…and vowed to NEVER give me a gift in the car again. lol (sorry u can’t see the beautiful detail and color. It’s really pretty though)
Well…I HAD to wear the bracelet to dinner that night with him and the family, so I convinced him that we needed to go to the mall. lol We looked and looked for a blue or black outfit to set off my newest “bling” but we were rushing cuz it was now 3:30ish…and we had to swing by our group rehearsal @ 5 so they could say happy b-day to me and gimme my "present"…and then dinner was at 6:30 and neither of us was dressed. So I reluctantly gave up my new attire search and decided to go to his house and put on the cute dress I originally had planned to wear. But before we could go… we made a trip to Zales. I showed him the ring I had been eyeing…but before I could get someone to help us, we both saw the perfect ring. I MUST HAVE IT. I have never seen anyone with this ring. It was truly unique…and we both loved it. I think we’re getting that one. We got the specs and price and after I tried it on and made love to it with my eyes… we parted ways with my ring…and rushed to his house to get ready for my b-day dinner.
We went to Maggiano’s for my b-day dinner celebration. I introduced him to the rest of my family… he finally met my uncles, and my crazy cousins. He was right at home. The highlight of dinner is when he turned to my grandmother and said “U need some help with that Grandma?” My heart melted. I look over at him helping her with some mash potatoes and I felt a tear form. I’ve never bring guys around my family. But he just fits. I loved it.
More presents. I was excited. Yay! My parents bought me a watch too…it’s the silverly watch in the pic with TG’s bracelet *scroll back up*. I was like, “what ya’ll trying to say? What? I’m always late or something?”
They also bought me some clothes. Actually, the funny thing is that the one blue outfit I DID see at the mall earlier but decided not to get due to time constraints and the horrendous line due to “tax free weekend”… my mom bought me. lol So it all worked out.
TG brought out another small box. I couldn’t take it… this brotha was showing OUT. lol. He brought me some beautiful diamond studs. I have them on now…but u can’t see the pic well but…these are they.
Everyone else gave me money. (YAY!)
Sunday- church…then dinner with friends. I think I wore TG out this weekend. He was doing a whole lot of planning and driving Saturday…And even though it doesn’t seem like it…I only gave u the highlights. A lot more happened. lol. By Sunday afternoon…he was looking tiiiiiiiiide.
After dinner, he gave me another rose and a card, took me to his house and we napped til 10pm. lol. Then he took me home and called me once he got back in. We talked for about 30 minutes... then we went to sleep. We had a loooooooong weekend. And I enjoyed it. I had a GREAT birthday. I spent it with my loved ones. I got more than I could have imagined…and no orange bras were exposed, no guilt from kissing an ex…no exposed cheaters with girlfriends in different states, no spending my birthday alone and crying. Thanks God. I really feel blessed!
