singing and whatnot

last night was a fun night.
my lovely friend terry came over and we karaoked like never before. we even repeated some songs, just to see if we could hit those notes that are impossible for those who have smoked as much as we have/do. and then we put on regular cds to just sing along. *sigh...* good fun. i'll post photos later. and dustin rapped, which always brings much joy.

new job still = scary.

however the weekend holds much fun and therefore makes this week ETERNAL. good ol' uncle sam was kind this year and we'll be spending saturday night in a hot tub at the super 8.
super 8. that's right, b/c when we make plans, we TOTALLY class it up. but, like my friend mike said, "the super 8 is 2 better than the motel 6."

abbey will get to have some fun swim time, and my sister is completely mental about the whole night (admit it, meg! you are!). we are acting in manner of children who get to have a birthday party at a hotel. there may even be cake and balloons involved.

growing up in our life, it was a huge deal to go to a motel and swim. it's like a vacation that costs very very little and includes little to no car sickness.

and as follow-up to yesterday's post regarding my face gaining 35 pounds, everything is back to normal. (i realized that i kept walking nearby funhouse mirrors, which also explains why i thought i had shrunken to 4 foot three inches. WHEW!)
