Tuesday night my cousin, aunt and a few other friends went down to Sandy's for karaoke. We used to do this quite frequently, but haven't for awhile. The way we do it is this.... first we get very very drunk, and then we sing. It is our 5 minutes of rockstardom - a fix, ya see. I was in a band a few years ago. Okay, I subbed for the singer for 3 months; but I did get in on about 5 gigs and it was so awesome. I'd really really like to do that again, but I do not play an instrument, nor do I have the right connections. I think that maybe someday I'll perhaps be in the right place at the right time and get in on it again. Geez, dream on, Molls! (I hope!) Nonetheless, I was a tad deficient the next day (happy 4th!), sleeping til 5:00 and getting up in time to pull on some clothes and pick up my grandma, cousin and nephew for the trip to Sterling where we joined my sister at her inlaw's for a celebration of independance day. We shot off the traditional fireworks, ate, swam, etc. (I drank water). There was a mama cat who that very day had 3 little baby kitties. aaawww! I don't think I've ever seen such tiny little felines! I was sure there was some significance to that, but I haven't figured it out yet. So anyway, I'm back to work after yet another year of freedom in the land of the free and the brave........
