Karaoke Carrieoke
It's Friday, ya'll. Yahoo!
Guess which girl's had more to drink.....
Did I really just post that picture on purpose?
So Becky mentioned in her comment below that she spotted a karaoke machine in a few pictures. There was plenty of karaoke to go around at Anne Marie's festivities, I'll tell you what. I can't believe I forgot to mention that! Obviously I'm not living up to my nickname...I sang, Anne Marie sang, we sang our little hearts out. And I also forgot to tell you one of the funniest things that happened that night. My dear boyfriend Jacob, who is a karaoke god, told me that he was going to sing a love song to me. (The warning bells should've gone off at this point, but I had a few Miller High Lifes in me, okay?) So, I finished my rendition of Let's Hear It For the Boy (you know you love it) and Jacob gets up on stage and starts dedicating the song to me...pointing to me...gearing up for his song. And his love song choice? "Big Bottoms", from This Is Spinal Tap. Here's a sample lyric:
"Big bottom, big bottom
Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em
Big bottom drive me out of my mind
How could I leave this behind?"
You get the picture. I laughed my ass off, ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.
So tonight there's another karaoke thingy, this one an elimination round for a big contest with an $1000 prize. There's several weeks of rounds so I may wait until another weekend because I have to work at Molly's tonight and I think I need to go home and go to bed after that. But tomorrow I'm going to have a small gathering for my birthday -- nothing fancy, just food, drink and karaoke on the trusty machine I have at home. We might even knit, because it's my party and I'm planning the activities. Tee hee.
Work has been v. v. busy as I have taken on some new responsibilities, but I also am hopefully going to start being compensated for that soon. (That's my discreet way of saying I asked for a raise and have gotten the initial okay for it. I'm scared to speak in specifics about work since I'm absolutely sure Big Brother is monitoring my website. Not really, but I'm paranoid like that. So, here's a quiet cheer for my raise. yay!)
Hope everyone has a great weekend. I swear up and down that after Tuesday you will see a finished object. And if not, I'll just post more ridiculous pictures to distract you.

Good for you- I am too chicken to ask for more money... even though I am doing more stuff every day. gah.
I will say happy day tomorrow- that is right, yes?

I think one of the verses is "Talk about big cheeks..." too. I love that song - it's been rolling around in my head since way back when I saw the movie for the first time...

I love all the froth on your beer -- you'd obviously been clinckin' glass for a while by then....

Carrie, I happened to just stumble across your blog a few days ago and it is my new favorite. I love all the pictures...

I am cracking up like MAD over your hilarious pictures. We want more!

Yep, Cathy and Larissa are right, it's mudflaps. Sing it loud, turn it up to 11 (but don't spontaneously combust)!
My new goal in life is to take a bad picture of Leslie. I'm beginning to think that's impossible. See ya this weekend :)

That's the last verse (about the mudflaps). We could be embarrassed about knowing that, but it really is a good song...right? All those songs are so bad they're good. Like old episodes of Punky Brewster.

I thought it was "talk about mud flaps my girl's got em." Hm, did I just admit I knew that?
