So.....

My weekend.  After work Saturday I was too pick up Cedrik.  However, it took him a freaking HOUR to get to me. This sadly is not an uncommon occurrences (well, the hour late is, but not having to wait on him).  And while we discussed it a bit at the time, really we just shoved it under the rug and went on.

He was supposed to cook us dinner, or choose a restaurant for us to eat at.  And he wanted to cook, but didn't feel like it, so he was going to think of someplace he wanted to eat at.  But we came home so I could change out of my workclothes....and of course this led to some bedtimesexxyfun.  Once recovered, we went to Cafe del Sol for the second time.  Good food as always, great company.  Then we came home, both of us were tired, so we went to bed and to sleep.

Sunday morning, before getting up, we had more bedtimesexxyfun.  Then I got showered and went to Rutters for coffee/breakfast.  When I got home, Cedrik had come down and was having his usual breakfast of Fruity Pebbles.  He then got showered up and dressed.  I dressed while he showered.  I put on khakis, a buttomup long sleeved shirt and even a freakin' tie!  And then we headed out...to church.  

Yes, I said CHURCH!

One of Cedrik's friends and her boyfriend go to the church regularly, and she invited Cedrik along.  When he said he usually spends Sunday at his boyfriend's place, she invited both of us. And we said we'd go.

I'd never been to the church, so I looked them up online.  And i said it was a Southern Baptist denomination, which threw up a whole HOST of red flags.  And the church I grew up was not as Right-Wing, evangelical as the Southern Baptist, but things there were very formal, and staid, and judgmental, and that contributed to my leaving. 

So I waw not expecting too much out of it.  However, when we got there, it was like the opposite of what expected!  They had a band on stage of 4 guitars and a drummer.  While we were waiting for the service to start, like 6 people, including the pastor came over, shook our hands and welcomed us.  And at least two people did after the service.  And it was an opening, fun, interesting time.  I even paid attention to the sermon and had no problems staying awake.  And the entire service took less than an hour!  I did have fun.  And I would go again, if Cedrik and I want to get up another Sunday morning and go.

After the service, Cedrik and I went to KFC for lunch, and then returned home here.  I started some laundry (doing a total of three loads, that Cedirk folded because he enjoys folding clothes.) and we decided to take a walk.   As we started out, Cedrik started telling me something I was doing that was "pushing him away".  I listened to him and then told him all about something he's going that was "pushing me away" (the lack of concern about his punctuality).  And we argued (although civilly I'd say) for a good chunk of the walk.  He then noticed a bench put out by a local business and suggested we sit there.  And we did and talked more, more calmly and reasonably.  And I thought we had worked through a good portion of our mutual issues.  

Cedrik has a friend here in town he's known for years.   When we started home, he said he wanted to go visit him, just to get a different opinion on things, which sounded reasonable to me. So I walked him close to Carlos' house and then came back here myself.  

While I waited for Cedrik to return I finally started watching The Godfather. Yeah, I know, I am way behind the times.  I got about halfway through it when Cedrik returned.   He had a great talk with Carlos and we had both calmed down and stood in the Kithcen and basically made up and gotten things resolved.  Then, as he had requested, he washed the dishes I had.   I HATE doing dishes, that's why I'm GLAD I have a dishwasher now.   So when he asked to do the dishes earlier, I told him I was just gonna sit in the living room and let him go to town.  However, when it came time, and despite the hate I have for dishes, I agreed to dry them.  The best part was, we got to stand there and talk and chat and spend time together while doing the dishes. 

After this we FINALLY played that game of chest we had been talking about playing.  He said he was going to "kick my ass in chess", and while he DID win, it was close and not an ass kissing, so there is that.   After this, we were tired, so we went to bed. 

Monday morning, we awoke and played a bit, but there was no bedtimesexxyfun.  Not at that point. I went to Rutters and got coffee and breakfast. I ate before he even made it downstairs and did a lot of reading of my book.  He came down and ate and then went back upstairs to shower.  After his showering, he brought some of his stuff downstairs....while wearing only his underwear.  Naturally, this lead to another full round of bedtimesexxyfun...in my bed...that he had made beforehand.  

Making the bed, doing dishes, folding clothes, he can cook...he makes such a good lil housewife. :)

After this, we went to Wal-Mart to get something, and then McDonald's for a late lunch.  And then home, where we Nair-ed his head (yeah, he likes his head bald.  And despite my obvious love for hairthings a hot and sexy bald Black man is pretty damn sexy too...hence Cedrik).  And with that being done he set about organizing his backpacks, and bags and other things he has here: getting rid of things he doesn't really need and putting things in places more economically.  This took a while, but honestly, not as long as I thought.  And it was s job well done. 

And so after this, I took him home, and came back here and updated this.  

Despite the argument, I'd have to say this was a wonderful weekend, I quite enjoyed it, talking with Cedrik, and discovering the new surprisingly fun and interesting church and all that.
