The celebrating of my birthday went off with out a hitch... almost... the weather was pretty yucky, so driving was an adventure. Beth's marching band sounded awesome. She was the lonely little trumpet in the back row with a bunch of clarinets. Kim had every traffic nightmare you can imagine on her way to Clare House and I even got lost but I still beat her there. While I was waiting for Kim, I got the bad news that Amanda and DeeDee were both feeling sick and weren't going to be able to make it for the fun... but they're going to try to come up next week. At Applebee's, I finally got served without being asked to show ID. It was a lovely birthday gift, which I'm sure will be very short-lived. At class, Kim & Caroline made everyone sing to me & we had cake.
Karaokee was incredibly fun. Another "regular" was having a birthday last night, so it was double the fun. Lots of people singing happy birthday and I don't think she or I spent a penny. Our crew for the evening included myself, Kim C., Amy J., Caroline (but not Carolyn *pouts*), Tara, Erin & Erica... and Shawn, the boy who crashed the party... so to speak... last week we told him he could come if he wore a wig & a skirt... he wore no wig or skirt, but he was there. A good time was had by all. No sisters were able to make it, so we lay-folk had to sing Only the Good Die Young. And I made sure to sing some classic Tim McGraw for Carolyn since she wasn't able to make it. The likes of Def Lepperd, 4NonBlonds, Cher, Blondie, John Cougar Mellencamp and the Tractors were also covered by members of our group. Someone else at the bar sang Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together." It was a great flashback to my childhood and kidnapping Mom's records.
Next week, hopefully, Amanda & I will finally be able to sing We Didn't Start the Fire
