I know you think you have great friends. And maybe you do. But mine are better. Guaranteed. After 8 months away, they welcomed me home with a weekend place to stay, lunches, dinners, shopping, pedicures, drinks, and even a 'Welcome Home, Kady' party. I was invited to my friend Kerrie's house, and all I knew was that there would be a 'surprise theme'. I was having a hard time guessing what it could be...maybe everybody would wear a costume and we'd eat food and drink drinks from another culture?
The night came and Josette told me that I would have to be blindfolded once we got in the car. Ha! So we WEREN'T going to Kerrie's!
We were going to Otter's in Northeast Minneapolis...where all my friends were waiting with a big sign, happy smiles and KARAOKE. My favorite favorite favorite activity in the whole world.
Teri even sang me a very special version of REM's It's the End of the World as We Know It, for which she had altered the lyrics to be based on this blog.
Try to sing it in your mind to the tune of the REM song. I'm also including clickable links to the original stories from this blog so you can read up on anything that might interest you:
That's right it starts with Australia, koalas, snakes, and an aeroplane and Kady Hexum's not afraid.
Peeing in a wetsuit, listen to yourself burp - Don't forget the wombat, Tonka was the wombat. Rollin in a SmartCar, grunt, no speed, the tires start to clatter just like a moped. Pack on your back, but you bought a rolling suitcase, and an ugly stinger suit with really long arms.
Spank Me galley, smell of gas don't strike that match we might all blow up. Fale fale sugar cane, and coconut juice. Scuba diving, sun burn. Solo now.
Uh oh, brewery, hitchhikers, bicycle with a motor. Kady cooks, but serve yourself.
Hiking glaciers, listen to your finger bleed dummy with the monkey and the cat poop coffee. Right? Right. Your Thailand buses, Summer-isms, snake wine, bed bugs, waterfall photos.
It's the end of the year as you know it.
It's the end of the year as you know it.
It's the end of the year as you know it. And more to come.
Sick O'clock watch the oscars, don't get caught in Cu Chi tunnels. Slash and burn bus rides, listen to your stomach churn. Pee behind a bull dozer, Korean drinking, Seoul fooding. Eating fish intestines. Jjin jil bang naked showers. Light a candle, back in Minnesota. Mess up guest room. Watch your dad eat squirrel meat, uh-oh, this means Relax Underwear. Acted a fool at Angkor Wat. Kiss my grits I'm a waitress. My dad has a uterus. Offer me some Crocs, offer me a date after fart and I decline.
It's the end of the year as you know it.
It's the end of the year as you know it.
It's the end of the year as you know it. And more to come.
The other night I dreamt of Jen Aniston's fan light. Then I went to zip line. Diaper and high heels. Dengue fever. Granada 6. Policeman with a Cerveza. Turd burglar, I'm sick, Machu Picchu, boom! You went around the world and dreamt of Ben Affleck. Right? Right.
It's the end of the year as you know it.
It's the end of the year as you know it.
It's the end of the year as you know it. And more to come.

Such Fun!!! Great Lyric's Teri!
I don't know the tune the song is suppose to go to. Did you get video of it so we can watch it?
Sadly no video. We sang it together a second time just to get video and then we forgot to video! Youtube search:
It's the End of the World as We Know It by REM.
