Wandering Aimlessly

This is sad. I blogged on Wednesday. Now it's Saturday, and I can't remember what happened between bloggings! Ha ha. Let's see. Wednesday, Heather, Andrea, Scott and I went to dinner at Logan's. I had never been to a Logan's before. You eat peanuts and throw the shells on the floor! It was fun. We had a good meal for once. And our waiter was from Illinois, and got a kick out of the fact I couldn't figure out how he knew I was from Illinois (I was wearing a t-shirt, but I had totally forgotten until about halfway through our conversation, which gave him a good (extended) chuckle).

Thursday. I feel like I did something on Thursday. Gosh! I watched some of Summer Music Mania (and I must say, I melt for glasses. I really, really do. I was a big puddle of goo). OH! Duh. Amy, Andrea, Scott, Carolyn, Tonya and I went to Margaritaville to see Amy's band, Blue Stone Circle. When I say "Amy's," I mean the band she was a total groupie of last program. They are SO CUTE. Carolyn warned me I'd fall in love by the end of the night, and I did. They sounded better than the original bands on a lot of songs. AND they're goofy. Carolyn had requested Tiny Bubbles by Don Ho, half as a joke (they're a rock band), and for the last song, they brought out the "request napkin" and announced they'd had a request, and they PLAYED it! We were laughing so hard. Poor Carolyn... ha ha. But Amy had been trying to get C and I out to dance, and that did it. They switched halfway through to Rage Against the Machine, but it was adorable that they did any of the song at all.

Last night was Bowling and Karaoke Night again. Heather and Andrea came along. I'm so glad they did! So did some of Carolyn's friends from work, so we had a larger crowd than usual. It's fun to have lots of people. Nothing will ever be like our Animal Kingdom ODF Bowling Nights from my last program, but I'm ever-so-glad we still have our little version of it. Caroyln and I sang Wide Open Spaces this time. It's completely embarrassing how awful I am at karaoke. I can usually sing decently, but when you get me up there, nada. Lol. (perhaps that's because I went from being in five different choirs/groups plus vocal lessons to not singing at all for four years...) But it's too much fun to pass up. And what are friends for if you can't completely humiliate yourself in front of them?

So. Have to go to work in about a half hour. Ugh. Jessica's not there today (she's one of my Partners in Crime), and it's a weekend, so I'm going to be working with all the high schoolers. Sometimes I feel like I'm babysitting rather than working. Was I ever that irritating when I was in high school? I didn't have time for a job around all the theater stuff at school, but if I had had a job, I seriously doubt I would have acted like these kids do. I was about ready to pull my hair out yesterday as one guy spent about thirty minutes trying to decide which metal surface (counter, warmer, coffee machine, etc) scraping the pizza spatula on was the most grating. But idiots aside, I like the people I work with and I usually end up having a pretty good time there.
