USS Clueless: Earth to Timi

Up until yesterday, I couldn proudly boast that I hadn't had an [alcoholic] beverage in almost 5 years. Well technically, I still can boast. I only ate a spoonful...or two of the water ice & I think I got a batch that the alcohol didn't saturate. I had to laugh though. Only my uncle would do something so triflin. He took the gospel music that my aunt playing out of the CD player and put in Clarence Carter. He started dancing & it was all over. It was comical. My aunt was like "See...that's why nobody invites you anywhere!"

I was kinda glad that my uncle changed the music. My aunt was playing some slow hymns and it was boring everyone. My aunt is super-religious, so she objects to anything but gospel music. I said, "At least play some fast music...geez." We took a vote and decided that we'd listen to a variety of music. My cousin put on some Earth, Wind & Fire and the party got started. My uncle asked my cousin & I to sing for everybody. I'm rather shy about singing in front of people. He knows that, but he offered me $20 and I couldn't refuse. lol. I love singing with my cousin. She has a beautiful voice. She's the soprano. Im the alto. I think my voice complements hers. WE NEED A RECORD DEAL!

They had me on the grill. My brother KD said, "Oh no...WHO LET HER ON THE GRILL!" lol. I'm a selfish griller. I grill with only myself in mind...so I have no problem burning charbroiling everything. I didn't stay on the grill for long. The smoke from the grill did a number on my allergies. I took some Benadryl & I was out for about an hour.

When I awakened, we decided that we'd crash my cousin's BBQ in New Castle. Now that was fun. What was even better...my cousin knows how to throw a party. I had a great time. I had one objection though. My cousin's husband decided to have a dance contest for the little kids. THAT WAS A BAD IDEA. The kids ranged in age from 15 and below...the youngest being 2 years old. My cousin Kia was the music DJ. Kia isn't saved. She had these kids dancing to that darn God-forsaked song by the Yin Yang gophers. You guys should've seen the dancing these little girls were doing. They would've made the video checks jealous. My little 7 year old cousin did some move on the wall in which she stuck her booty out and hit the floor. I was done after that. I ended the contest. It was ridiculous and my cousin Kia was cheering them on. As if that wasn't bad, the two year won the contest. That's a damn shame.

Overall, I enjoyed the day. I love my family. Some of them need lots of prayer, but all in all...I wouldn't trade them for the world. lol. God help us all.
