A Review of Yesterday's Festivities, Tho!



Uncle Alex's grill looked something kinda like this on yesterday.

And a Happy Friday to all-a-y’all, Babies!

Hahaha! Don’t be alarmed, y’all—it’s just me. I know y’all were probably thinking: “Wait a minute—when did Ms. Viv take over Natasha’s blog?”

Well, let me assure you all that Gramma Jewel has not taken over my blog; I just wanted to keep y’all on your toes, is all.

Well, it goes without saying, but y’all could probably tell by my blog yesterday that I had a superfragitastilistic day with my family and friends yesterday in Long Beach. I was trying to spell that word from Mary Poppins and got halfway stuck, but y’all get what I’m trying to say. And I don’t know if I mentioned it or not, but I got plenty of footage for my home movie. I’m thinking about bringing it to Rust with me, just so I can show Ruby Red and Neo Theo. They’re probably gonna tease me to no end about me and my cousins performing “Give It Up, Turn It Loose” by En Vogue, but they’re probably not gonna tease me any more than my family did. Heck, even Ray had some fun at my expense.

Oh, I forgot to mention yesterday that the Wobble song came on, and Gramma Jewel once again refused to learn it. We almost persuaded Ms. Thelma to come and join in, but she declined. However, when the Cupid Shuffle came on, Gramma Jewel literally hopped to her feet and shouted, “Move over, Babies—it’s time to do the Cuban Shuffle!”

Yes, she calls it the Cuban Shuffle… and yes, we have corrected her on many times, yet and still, she calls it what she wants to call it.

And as for the fireworks display—I never told y’all that Auntie Cherri and Uncle Alex live near the Long Beach Pike, so we got a good view of the beautiful fireworks. There was one moment where one of the fireworks boomed so loudly that I jumped, and Ray was right there to comfort me… in a respectful manner, of course. I can’t lie, y’all—I got all tingly when he caught a hold of my waist and wrapped his arms around me. That’s another story for another day, though.

Well, y’all, I had best be going on account of this home footage ain’t gonna edit itself. That’s right, y’all—I’ve got a lot of editing footage to take care of today; that pretty much means I’m gonna be in the house all day. Well, I do plan on going out for a while, if for nothing but to walk to the mall and back; otherwise I’ll be in the house putting together (and laugh at) all of this home footage of… dammit, I need to come up with a title! I may have the title written down somewhere in my notebook, but right now, it’s time to review what I’ve recorded thus far.

Until tomorrow, y’all have a beautifully attractive day!

Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
