ME~OMG...I'm starving Cyn.
HER~Do you wanna wait to we get home to eat or you wanna stop somewhere?
ME~Let's stop somewhere.
HER~ Ok. Um...there's a McDonald's right there.
ME~That's fine.

We pull into the drive thru

WORKER~Thanks for choosing McDonalds. How may I help you?
HER~Baby, what do you want?
ME~A twenty piece chicken nugget with a medium apple juice
HER~Ok, I need a twenty piece chicken nugget with a medium apple juice
WORKER~We don't have apple juice ma'am
ME~Hi-C Orange then
HER~HI-C Orange
WORKER~Do you need any barbecue sauce?
HER~No but can I get sweet-n-sour instead?
WORKER~Will that complete your order?
HER~Yes
WORKER~Please pull around to the first window

ME~Are you not hungry?
HER~I am
ME~So why didn't you order you something to eat?
HER~Because I will never disrespect Chipotle lol
ME~You're such a nerd!!! lol
HER~Yep
ME~So you're gonna starve?
HER~Nope. There's a Chipotle two blocks away lol

So we pull around to the window. We paid the lady and got our food.

ME~WHAT THE FUCK????
HER~What? What's wrong?
ME~They only gave me two packages of sweet-n-sour sauce. How am I suppose to eat twenty chicken nuggets with only two packages of sauce? See, that's what I be talking about...ugh
HER~So you really that mad over some damn sauce?
ME~See Cyn you don't know the struggle because you eat Chipotle.  Wait, I know you are not talking about me when you throw a fit if they don't give you enough guacamole or sour cream for your burrito lol
HER~Hahaha!!! Yeah, that's that bullshit. And then they are gonna tell me that it's $2.00 extra. Man, they should know that I know because I've been going there ever since they first opened....
ME~So you mad or nah?!
HER~Shut up!!!!

CYN

Erica and I are at home just hanging out. It's kinda a chill day for us. No gigs, no traveling, just at home.

HER~Hey Cyn
ME~Yes
HER~I wanna cuddle
ME~Ok. Where on the couch?
HER~Yeah. If we get in the bed, I'm gonna fall asleep lol

I start singing: "Lay your head on my pillow" by Tony Toni Tone'

ME~" JUST LAY YOUR HEAD ON MY PILLOOOWS. AND JUST RELAX...RELAX"
HER~Lol Shut up!!!  You're such a goofball
ME~HAHAHA I'm your goofball though.
HER~Yes you are and that's one of the things that I love about you.
ME~Awww babe, I love you too
HER~Isn't this nice? Just to be home without anything to do?
ME~Yes gawd!!!! We've been mad stupid crazy busy since we got back from our honeymoon.
HER~I know, right! I guess this what comes with the territory of being #BREADWINNERS
ME~Yeah I guess. Speaking of being a #BREADWINNER, I was thinking about buying my mom a house.
HER~Baby, that's dope as shit. But why are you just thinking about it and not doing it?
ME~I'm gonna do it. I just have to figure out where.
HER~Oh...ok. Well, I too have been thinking
ME~Oh brother lol
HER~Wait, what is that suppose to mean?!
ME~Nothing baby. I'm listening

I kissed HER on HER forehead

HER~Anyways, I was thinking about getting another tattoo.
ME~That's what's up.  Where and of what?
HER~Well, I want to get all my sisters, brothers, neices and nephews names but I don't know where yet.
ME~Hmmm...that's a lot of names...
HER~Ooo baby I got it. I can get their names going down my spine
ME~Because they are your backbone!!!!
HER~YEESSS!!! We make a good team
ME~Yes we do. I wanna do something else too
HER~Ok...what's that?
ME~Well, I know prom season is coming up and I wanna help two girls get ready. You know like buy their dresses, shoes, do their makeup and all of that.
HER~That's a dope idea. But how are you gonna choose?
ME~Well, they are gonna have to write an essay and explain why I should choose them.
HER~Sounds good. You know that you are about to receive A TON of emails right?
ME~Yeah, you're right. Maybe I should just do the five boroughs
HER~Yep, I was thinking the same thing. So since we are in a giving back mood, there is a Celebrity Charity Basketball game that I got approached with. It's in Miami and Jamie Foxx is over it.
ME~That's dope. Are you gonna do it?
HER~Yeah, I'll do it but are you gonna do it? They want the both of us.
ME~I'm all the way down. I'll make a fool of myself for charity lol
HER~The added bonus is that our son can come with us.
ME~That makes it that much better. I love hanging out with him!!! So get all the information about it so I can make sure that it won't bump heads with all the other things that are planned
HER~Ok.

ERICA

ME~Wife

HER~Ok. Let's go upstairs and I'll tuck you in.
ME~You're not gonna stay up there with me?
HER~ If you want me to, I will. I'm not sleepy yet.
ME~Well, I'll just stay right here with you then.
HER~You don't have to stay up because I am
ME~Oh...I wasn't.  You're gonna continue to hold me like you are and I'm gonna go to sleep right here.
