Showtunes, karaoke and a theater troupe

I ventured out last night for a evening of karaoke with two girl friends and a guy friend.

What a hoot!!

What I thought would be a very boring evening of listening to really really bad singing and a bunch of drunk folks, turned out to be an amazingly bizarre yet very entertaining evening!! First off I was the designated driver, which in itself is the bestest idea anyone going out for drunken debauchery should always, always have unless they plan on taking a taxi! I had no desire whatsoever to even go out, I am still paining something fierce from M and I's break-up, and knowing I wouldn't be having any liquid pain killer made me second guess my promise to go out and be the dd. I am sure I wasn't the best of company but everyone got home safe!

So we walk into the bar and there was NOBODY there! It was dead. Imagine that eh? Sunday night, snowy roads, small little town don''t equal a riveting night life. There had to have been maybe a dozen of us there. I was introduced to this guy, I had met him once before, actually he was in my kitchen dressed as a woman! A very hot looking woman! He preforms as a cross dresser and his wife sells adult pleasure products. I really should have know that it wasn't going to boring evening for long!

Not fifteen minutes after arriving there, a group of people walked in. It was a mix of guys and gals about 12 of them. And they sat right there behind us. Not paying much attention to them except they were being very loud and boisterous. The cross dresser got up and sang "Under the sea" from the Little Mermaid, and the group behind us went ballistic! Hooting and hollering and getting up to dance. It was a sight to see cause that is when I noticed they had to have been a theater troupe, cause everyone of them was doing dramatic dance on that floor! They woman were wearing weird clothes, nothing too outrageous, just different and the men, the men were all flamboyantly gay! Just like you would see in some cheesy comedy!

After a few songs from Madonna and Frank Sinatra, they broke out the show tunes! All was what you would typically see in a movie! I was a riot! I went out thinking how bored I would be just to be thoroughly entertained! A wonderful, inexpensive (read free), hilarious evening! One that I don't think I will ever have the pleasure of witnessing again. :-(


Christmas here came and went. The girls got spoiled as usual. I got them a wii and we have been playing it constantly. Felica and I were up past midnight playing it one night! Midnight? I know not that late, but for someone who is used to going to bed at 9 cause I get up at 4, midnight is HUGE! I am feeling really melancholy right now. M and I met a year ago today and our first date was on New Years. Life will go on, but I just want the pain to stop. It will I know.

Until next time!

Lesson's Learned... yet still bitter

So I learned something today and we will see if it sticks.
First a bit about me and my personality. I am usually a happy person however I do tend to get a tad cranky (read as down right pissed off) when I feel someone is being belligerent and rude to me or those I care for.
So yesterday at work (I work in a manufacturing plant) this witch decided to move me and my station to where she was working because she no longer wanted to work there. It was arranged that I was going to move anyways, but that wasn't the point. She took it upon herself to move me when she wasn't privy to the fact I was going to move anyways. It angered me. She has always had a hate on for me from years ago when I briefly was seeing her son. She has made enjoying my job down right miserable and uncomfortable. I can not talk to my supervisor about this situation because she is buddy buddy with this 'woman'
So anyways as I was sitting down at the new station I muttered some not too nice words about her and female parts that begin with the letter 'C' Someone over heard me and and felt the need to 'tattle' on me. I know what I did and said was wrong and I should have controlled myself better but I was beyond frustrated at that point with the witch.
Today someone asked me how much trouble I got into for calling her that word, to which all I could reply was "damn she told on me" I knew right then and there I was going to be fired. There is a low tolerance there for any form of harassment and apparently mutter that some one is acting like a 'c word' is a form of harassment. Who knew. So all day I waited for the call to head to the HR department for my severance check, they always fire someone with 15 minutes left in a shift. I knew it was coming and those that I talked to about it also agreed that yeppers I was out of there. So like clock work at 2:15 I was called in and sitting there was our HR person and our foreman. First words out of my mouth were... "I knew I was coming, it took long enough so I'm gone eh?" To which they replied... "not unless you want to go" Seriously! I didn't get fired! Oh I got a good reprimanding and written up for my slip of the tongue. I am on a tight rope and need to behave, but I still have a job!
So the moral of the story, the lesson I learned is.... Bite my tongue!!!!!! Watch what I say and whom I say it in front of!
What a day. Time for a nice cup of baileys and coffee.
Have a nice night all!

Well now it has been awhile hasn't it??

I am sorry and really will try to update more. I should have the time now that I am newly single and getting back into the dating scene once again. That should make for some interesting posts eh?? There are some wacko's out there and am sure I will meet a few on the quest to find Mr. Right and not Mr. Right for now.

So don't be overly surprised to see some weird and wacky posts come out of here as I do plan to post after everyone of those dates! Hehehe. That is of course if there are any dates. There will be dates right??

So what happened to M and I? Everything and nothing all at once. He started a new shift two months back that wreaked havoc on our lives. Hard to be with someone that doesn't live with you when he works until two in the morning and gets up after noon. I just found it hard to feel the love.

I am truely devastated. I honestly thought this one was "the one" He still really matters to me and I hope in the future we can be friends again. He is an amazing person and I love the person I have become because of him. Who knows it may not be the end end for us and we will reconnect once life settles a bit.

So stay tuned all!
