Act "20"

Were it not for the fun at band practice and the 'aftermath' last night, yesterday might have gone down as yet another day not worth blogging about, since I spent most of the day getting crap done around the house.

But...band practice WAS fun. This week, it's J-mo, Kyle, Jordan, Derek, and I hitting the stage. Derek's filling in for Heavy E again, who had to go out of town (that is, if you call driving down Spring Ave. with your kids in the car 'out of town'...hehe). The songs came together well, even though "America" was off to a rough start, but hopefully it will rock by Sunday ("America" by Chris Tomlin, not "America" as in "O beautiful for spacious skies...")

After band practice, we dared attend O'Charley's, which has plagued us with bad service and bad food in the past. The verdict: It was good last night. Nothing overcooked/undercooked. Took a little long for the food to get to us, but not even as long as it's taken at Logan's the past THREE visits. (I should be a restaurant critic as much as I talk about it...).

Had fun making fun of Jordan, making fun of each other, eating, and all of us trying our best to act at least 20 years old. Alas, we all acted more like we were 12. Still, it was fun...Kailyn laughed at our stupidity...so did our waitress. Only sad moment was when the waitress slid Kailyn out into the aisle so she wouldn't splatter grease from Stacey's fajitas on her. Kailyn looked puzzled, then just started crying...it was pitiful.

By the way, there were at least 4 times where the staff had to sing Happy Birthday to someone. Good grief.

FUNNY STUFF:

WAITRESS: "Oh, she's ticklish." (referring to Kailyn)
J-Mo: "I'm ticklish, too."
WAITRESS: "I'm married."

(As Jordan scoots 'away' from Jonathan):
ME: "Yeah, sit closer to Kyle. He's safe."
(she leans against Kyle)
KYLE: "Cooties!"

J-MO: (to waitress) "Jordan's here as part of our Big Brother/Big Sister program."
WAITRESS: "Oh, does she ride the short bus to school?"

(Blonde moment at band practice):
JORDAN: "I think your microphone just went dead."
ME: "No, it's turned on."
JORDAN: "Well, I can't hear it anymore."
J-MO: "Is your volume turned up?"
(she goes to check, then giggles...)
JORDAN: "Ooops...I thought I was turning it up..." (she'd actually been turning it down)

GROUP QUESTION: "So, Kyle, are you sure this girl he's 'dating' actually exists? Have you ever met her?
KYLE: Well, no...she never got out of the truck."
