When Karaoke Goes Bad
Kelly Posted on Sunday, June 28, 2009 at 12:41 AM The Boss' Party last night really wasn't that eventful. We did some karaoke, and my already epic hot flashes were made worse when I had to stand in front of everyone I work with and sing Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion.
I decided to leave when they started singing Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven. The song is obviously about Clapton's son who died and it's incredibly sad- a natural choice to sing at parties! (I had more to say about this, but Husband requested that I try to be as positive as possible today.)
I was a little shaken up when I got in the car to drive home. I blame the Karaoke. Looong story short - I GOT LOST! Scary lost. My car now smells a little like urine. The more I drove, the more lost I got, and I couldn't find anywhere to turn around. Then I kept seeing the highway I needed to be on, but I couldn't find the on-ramp.
The most fun part about being lost was ending up at the downtown Grey Hound bus station. There are always such pleasant people outside the bus station at midnight. Some guy tapped on my window and asked if we could "go out sometime". Once I finished crapping my pants, I declined his offer.
It took me 30 minutes to get there and 1 1/2 hours to get home. I'm making a vow now.
I will never drive at night by myself ever again. Never.

I think you need a GPS! haha
Oh man. I hate getting THAT lost.
I remember once, when I was about 19, driving home from Southern Illinois to my parents' home (Chicago suburb). You would think, after living here my ENTIRE LIFE that I would know the crazy routes. You would be wrong to think that.
Basically, I got so lost, that at a gas station that I pulled off to ask directions at, the guys inside looked at me and said, "Whoa. You must be lost."
Yes. THAT LOST.
