friday at work... today it meant trying to find things to do to keep busy. i actually got out on time, gods forbid, and i changed in the car on the way to weggies for the party in the empty store. it was HOT. it was HUMID. it rained big fat rain drops that i ran around in trying to see a rainbow--after all, the sun WAS shining while it was raining. i closed a stranger's car windows. then we sat around in the hot-ness hoping for spott to win stuff that was being given out. all she got was free food. sparkling grape juice, and a key chain. kids played a game show game with the djs. i sang black velvet karaoke style because spott had promised her whole department that i can't resist karaoke...
afterward, i called dee. doing karaoke at a bar was becoming a compulsion. she was workin, but by the time spott & i went back to my omax to get my check (which i had forgotten at the end of my shift) and were on the road again, dee was on the phone. urban inn it was, 10:30 for dee.
spott didn't want to go. i convinced her that going was good so i didn't have to drive home alone or wait for dee until the wee hours of morning. that girl has been known to not get home til 5 or after, and i wanted no part of that lateness. anyway. spott came with me, we stopped for pizza for her on the way, and we got to the bar...
where we waited for a few minutes before dee's mom & .her fiance came in. they were followed fairly closely by dee herself, and not long after that the karaoke started.
i sang time after time and what's up--which i haven't done since my sister's living room january-ish. yeah, it was still really snowy outside. it was fun, though, and i think i did fairly well. besides, the dj/karaoke master is apparently a mix/sound master and knows the perfect reverb for the mic and the right balance for all his regulars' voices.
dee ended up doing... hit me with your best shot, sk8ter boi, and something else with her mommy that i didn't know. then i left, because most of the time i was in the bar, spott was outside sleeping in the car...
i don't know how that girl can work so hard she drops, but she does it, and nearly every time she does any kind of manual labor. she did a ton of cleaning and rearranging today, then sat around a hot party doing not much, then just being out late...
so we're home now and she just got out of the shower. time for bed! night all!

Oh! And just so you know - I had already resized the very photo you plucked out for use as my journal photo. I've got a few sized actually - so that when I get bored, I can change. Seems everyone's getting bored with me though.....
