Kroakee w/ Tina

Was very windy on the top deck...no hair ties...

Last Saturday night Tina and I went to a place called "Turtle Club" in nearby Seabrook. We had never been there before--it's basically a 2 story small floating pier, with dock stations for boats to pull in. Downstairs there was a bar, and upstairs there was karaoke (tina calls it "kroakee").

Tina so overdressed...just keeding don't cry!

  You all know me...99 % of my wardrobe is t-shirts and jeans. I intended to wear just that, with sneakers...(And who calls them "sneakers" anymore? I'm old.) When I got to Tina's to pick her up, she started crying over being overdressed...and proceeded to force me to go home and change into a top with a cardigan, and ridiculous heels....as mentioned in my weight loss blog, my back was aching from a workout injury, so walking in those heels  in a gravel parking lot, onto a swaying platform, and upstairs to karaoke, didn't help my back!

My camera couldn't capture how pretty it was atop the water across from Kemah and the bridge..but I still like these:

   Karaoke was fun, although I would've really liked to play live music at open mics. This was the closest thing. Tina was too chicken to sing, even after trying a "Bushwhacker" (what did you think it was called again!? lol) The scene was what could be expected at a karaoke bar...smoking, drinking, trashy outfits, blow-up dolls, creepy old drunk men. You know, all the stuff that's entertaining to a sober person to just observe. But my 'date' (Tina) didn't know that when you even engage these creepy old drunk men, by answering any question or smiling, you encourage them! I had to cut a few off from bothering us. I remember going out with Susan when I was young and polite and she would always tell me, "They think you are flirting if you even acknowledge them." No matter how innocent I was, it's true. Men (esp drunk creepy and old) don't take hints.

These are the few pics I got..after Tina asked a few CODG's to take our pic, and they failed lol.

The karaoke DJ lady had a couple computers set up to essentially search for any song you wanted, and change the key. I didn't come very prepared so spontaneously chose "Two More Bottles of Wine" by Emmylou Harris first, which was fun, and then "FM" by Steely Dan. Not the best song to sing at karaoke  (lots of uncomfortable dancing during the long 'instrumental breaks' lol), but it was fun and everyone seemed to enjoy it. There were some really good singers. I got a few compliments on my singing, and my "WTF" bag :) Then we headed home, but not before being solicited to buy spring rolls out of some guy's car. My back hurt so bad that night I slept with a pillow arching it up. It feels better now and I am thinking I might get back to my workout DVDs tonight, without the weights for starters.

Fixing her lip gloss :)

   It was fun to get out with Tina, but like I always say, I feel awkward and useless without that double stroller and babies, and of course I missed Johnny. :)

"Give us some funked up music...she'll treat you nice."

  Tina is also starting out as a consultant for Scentsy products. I have sampled some and like them. I just bought this snapshot warmer for my mom's bday, with a few scents I thought she would like:
