Saturday Nights...

They are something else? Have you realized that?
OK, so what am I doing up at 3:30 AM? Well, let me start my tale.

I woke up late, having skipped Capoeira because I was catching up on sleep. (I'm back on the wagon next week - my muscles are getting soft!)

After being still for a while, i.e. being lazy, I got ready and headed out to my parents house so I could take my mom to run some errands. After that - we went for lunch at Red Lobster. It was great.

So, I get back to my house and make plans with Ethni to go visit a favorite Karaoke dive bar. I did some laundry and such. So I start to get ready and what do I find as I'm leaving my room? My cat walks in with a mouse in her mouth. Without my glasses I didn't recognize immediately but as it began to squirm I saw what it was and began to scream at my cat to get out, drop the mouse and repeat. I wasn't terribly imaginative in my freaked out state.

I called my mom and told her to send my brothers to deal with. I used the house phone to call since my cell phone was on the other side of the cat. I screamed at her what had happened and what I needed and I finished getting ready. (Best to not think about it.)

My brothers came over and told me that Paige had done that a lot. Also, where were their souvenirs from New Orleans. They left and so did I.

I got to the bar with my friend and we sat down trying to figure out what to sing. I had nothing, she had a few staples.

We ended up picking good songs:
Ethni picked Last Dance by Donna Summer, It's My Life by Bon Jovi and ended with Dream On by Aerosmith.

I picked Black Velvet by Alannah Myles, I want you to want me by Trick Pony and ended with Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' by Journey.

We were good. But the other people their were FUN!The DJ was awesome and rocked the mike. Literally. Others showed off their incredible talent, or incredible sense of fun. Honestly, the sense of fun was so much better. I am hoarse now - not because of the singing but because of cheering and screaming and singing along with the other singers.A guy sang Bye, Bye, Bye by NSync and he also sang Big Butts. Some girls sang My humps. There was a lot of dancing, laughing, jeering and cheering. It was great.

Afterward, we went to Jim's restaurant for food. Now I'm letting my food sit for a bit before crashing.
I'll be tired tomorrow, but you know, I haven't had an awesome night like this in a long long long time.

I am so glad for it. (Once in a while is great, all of the time? Not so much!)

Good Night/Morning!
