You Can Dance If You Want To...You Can Leave Your Friends Behind...

This pic is for "Humpty".


There is quite a resemblance between our "friend" from Karaoke night and the characters from Alice in Wonderland. For the rest of the post, and pics from Karaoke with "the sober girls" in St. Louis, visit Sarah, Courtney, or Kasey's blogs.
I know everyone thought that Tequila Mexican Karaoke was a total dive, but trust me, Charley's (our first attempt to find a Karaoke bar) was much worse. The glass was tinted, and there was a Pawn Shop, a Payday Loans, and this next door.
We peeked our heads in, saw a cloud of smoke and a dart board and NO signs of Karaoke, so we booked it back to the car before we could be assaulted by any of the creepy gold chains lurking in the parking lot (luckily Kasey had her pepper spray ready to fire). Our search continued and we ended up at Tequila Mexican Restaurant. See? Next to a Dental Office and well lit. Much better. Much Safer.

The chips were stale, the DJ was like a distorted version of Jack Black's character in Orange County (distorted because he had clothes on, but otherwise the same guy).

But... they kept the Dr. Pepper coming, and therefore we got funnier and funnier as the night went on, and my singing got worse and worse. Take my advice and never attempt "Baby Got Back" on Karaoke Night. Bad news, but still SO MUCH FUN!

Or maybe it was the mint chocolate pirouettes...

WHoa bAbY! Jerushia gone WiLd!

We discovered 3 things on this trip.
1) Kasey snores
2) I talk (yell, actually) in my sleep
3) Jerushia gets migraines from both (sorry about that J!)

It is really a miracle we even got out of bed the next morning. We managed to hunt down some FABULOUS bagels (the food just kept getting better and better), spend WAY too long in the best dollar store on the planet, stock up our bag with (more) candy, and enjoy the Denim Jumper Fest 2008! Oops, I mean Time Out For Women. I'll leave you with one more pic...

Quick Sarah! Take off your shoes!

I will have you know, Little Meg, that I started to unfasten my seatbelt on the way over that bridge - and then I refused and passed over it - fully buckled - shoes on - windows up and ONE hand on the steering wheel. I gave that bridge the finger. And for all of you other readers - that is water that I am drinking. I have been dry off of Diet Coke since
Sept 29, 2007. Almost to my year mark!!!! Woot!

really funny! You gals looked like you had a freakin' blast! I have come to the conclusion that a few friends, little Dr.P or coke zero with lime (my drink of choice) and a dive bar will get you more loopy then the "HARD" stuff!!

You forgot to mention that Jerushia snores, too. ;P We all took turns sleeping those two nights, and I'm still catching up. Good times.

P.S. (I have the rest of your 'cigars' at home.)
