AK Rowdy...[Part DEUX]

Well im back from Akron,OH .. spending time with the fam was the RX I needed for my "sickness"....
Now.... once upon a time I lived in a small town called Murfreesboro, TN.... my frist job at 15 was at Wal-Mart... second was at Kroger Pharmacy.. and 3rd was at a place I hold dear... we called it KARKAR.. you call it .......


So since I have not been to Cracker Barrel since 2002 (when I left TN for good and moved back home to Atlanta)... It was a pleasure for me to go there... played some checkers and beat Flea's ass!!!! [King me B!@@#!!!!]



Finally got our name called... ordered my fave thing ever... Cabbage, Carrots, Grilled Chx, and Dumplings.. and Billy mentions that Amy Winehouse is sitting behind us....



Well not her really.. but what she would look like if she was old and just left church on a sunday...We schemed hard to get this pic.. layed the camera on the table and all... Man.. it never fails.. I love KARKAR... and the memories of the good ol Boro!!! Those were some simple, small town, good living times... times when I thought making $40 in tips at the end of the night was bank.... wish at times that things could be so simple...

Anyways... back to famo.. so Pshyco Mom aka... new mommy... aka...my favorite cuzzo Nora, had a get togthere for Ramadan at her house.. I have been protesting all Arabic "functions and dinners" for 3 years now...since every time I go to such "social gatherings" im constantly asked...the following questions:

1) So Fadyah (the correct pronunciation of my name), when are you getting married, your almost thirty...25 is not young...!! [all this with a heavy arabic accent]

2) Oh, Fadyah, I have to introduce you to my brother-in-laws, friends cousin, who is perfect for you, he owns a corner store in Cobb County... you would make a gorgeous couple!!

3) Do you actually work? Do you consider fashion work? What happened to you being a lawyer?

I mean hot damn the list can go on and on and on ....and im usually the only person in my age group...that is

1) Not Married...
2) On my 2nd child
3) Doesnt know about the big sale at Belks, Dillards, or what the hell is going on on "Dancing with the Stars"

Anyways....anything for my cuzzo... [my sister would die with happiness if she knew i went.. little does she know.. i spent the majority of it lakeside on the phone with Ree, talking about BEWS ...and my finds at the thrift store!!!]

Atleast what I got out of it is this...

1) Having a blast with Flea and Billy making fun of folks
2) Good homecooked meals
3) Watching Nora be an amazing mother,wife and hostess [who woulda thunk it]
4) Sitting Lakeside in the Ohio night and gazing at the stars which I NEVER get to see anymore...
5) And meeting my future son.... or what I imagine my son to look like...



I actually asked whos dominican baby that was...lmao.. ["X".. so this is what our kids are gonna look like eh?]
I stood corrected...100% Boater!!!!! [im going to hell for that one.]

Now its time to introduce you to my Tomato!!! This is Nora's gorgeous baby boy... and he reminds me of a tomato.. and thats what I call him and I love him and want to bite his cheeks.. and knees, and play patty cake with him...





Hes sooo freaking cute.. he had to be in pics alone..[except for my hand holding on to him for dear life] I cut everyone out.. all focus on the TOMATO!!!! AND HIS HAIRPIECE OFCOURSE and Baby Phat get up... (Nora...breath and chill.. we all know its all his, Mullett and all, as for the Rocawear wardrobe.. jusry is still out on that one...lmao) [going to hell for that one too]

Anyways.. that was the end of my trip.. had a blast and im so BLESSED to have family that I love and I can go and run to when in need of a reality check, a friendly reminder that its not about the glitz and glam, and the rise to the top, but rather the one you love and who love you and you are loyal to...success is nothing without your backbone... and mine is straight homie.. check yours...
