The lovely Ms. K took me to dinner at Benihana...a restaurant we save for special occassions. We made up our own special occassion for tonight, and I don't think hibachi scallops ever tasted so good. Ms. K is the happiest I've ever seen her. I've told her this before, but she's like the little sister I never had and I am so excited that things are falling into place in her life. Now, if she just follows my 2 most important pieces of big-sisterly-been-there-done-that advice:
- No regrets
-Watch the VS bill ;)
All the rest will fall into place.
As for me...I've got a plan. Don't get too excited...it isn't any life altering, mega-intelligent, she's finally gonna get off her ass and do something! plan...but, it's a plan nonetheless.
We are going to get dressed up. And we are going to get the girls together (and BGF...because like it or not, you count as one of the girls) and go to Rising Star Karaoke. I am going to drink 3 margaritas and then I'm going to take my meek little self up onto that stage and belt out some Carrie Underwood. Now you can get excited, because Ms. K is going to videotape it for us ;)
Understand that under no circumstances would I ever, ever submit myself to singing in front of ANYONE, let alone an audience of strangers, with a band and some backup singers. Also understand that I don't even like country music. But, yes, I am going to do it...because I can.
Hold on...why did this plan seem like such an awesome idea an hour ago? Oh yeah, because belting out that song in the car felt empowering when I am feeling most powerless. Naturally, it would feel 1000 times MORE EMPOWERING to do it on a grand scale, no?
So stay tuned...tequila and karaoke are on the horizon.
