Corbin’s Bday Weekend
Of course it was another great weekend with my boyfriend except this one was extra special because his birthday is next week, but I won’t be able to be with him… So, we celebrated this weekend (when his boyz wouldn’t be able to take him away). Friday night when I arrived, I gave him a golf-inspired greeting card and a golf glove (and popcorn, he just loves popcorn). We then went to Hooters (delishis wings) and the movies to see Inception. The movie was fantastic. I’m really into learning about the human mind and how people put mind over matter, especially in ways that are perceived as negative or giving them a disorder. Other movies that do this is are Shutter Island (also staring Leo) and Identity.
Saturday morning, I gave him a baseball-inspired card where the punchline was “chalk up another one” as the guy on the front of the card was chalking the baseball diamond. Attached to the card were 2 baseball tickets to see the Detroit Tigers that night. He had been talking about going to a game all season (and even made it his facebook status, lol). The Tigers ended up losing the game, but it was really worth staying through the end. That was my first time in Comerica Park. It was quite different from the Indianapolis Indians’. It was huge and a lot more people. Earlier in the day we made a random stop at Pizza Kitchen while on our way to Hood-Mart (the rat-tastic WalMart). He later made me a Salmon feast before the game! 
Sunday, we were going to go golfing at 8am, but it was still raining/wet, so we just went to breakfast. Before church, I gave him a third card with fortune cookies on it. It’s an inside joke and I wanted to throw him off the scent for the big gift. I got him a watch to replace his that got “mysteriously lost” in the mail. [After he left it in Indy, I mailed it to him and our thought is that it was stolen along the route, O_o.] He loved it! We then trotted happily to church. We visited Second Ebenezer Church at the 10am service. We didn’t get there until 10:45ish, just in time for the A&B selections. The sermon was really good by Bishop Vann (although more drawn out than it should have been) and he was finished by noon! Oh, until… he did the call to worship and wouldn’t stop calling, nor singing until 25 people (and counted them) came to the alter to give their lives to Christ. I’m not sure if he ever made 25, but it was 17 when I stopped listening. He then had 3 people in particular tell their stories, at about 10 minutes each. We were ready to leave as the clock neared 1pm. He kind of guilt-tripped people into staying saying that this was a test of “spiritual endurance”. False!! Right before offering, I left my donation and we dipped! As the dip was occurring, he also felt the need to shout out “Where yall goin?” in front of a church of at least 1,000 and many more at home or online. LMAO!! If we ever go back, it will be for a conference like I had been to previously, but I would recommend to stream that faith so you can leave as you please.
