Karaoke and Grace's ears

How's that for a topic header? Justin and I went out with some friends for dinner and karaoke last night. I am not embarassed to admit that I have never been to a karaoke night before - before Justin came along, I hadn't done a lot of things... eat wings or ribs, go to a casino, drink wine. Karaoke was just another one of those things that never occurred to me. So we went and had a really fun time... one of the husbands sang a love song to my friend Michelle and it was so incredibly sweet and out of character! I was very surprised how many people were willing to get up and sing and how good everyone was. On the way home, he asked why I didn't get up to sing and told me I had a great voice (I'm such a sucker for compliments) but I reminded him that a good voice for singing hymns at church is not the same thing as being able to sing Bohemian Rhapsody. But next time, for sure I'm going to do my version of Lose Yourself by Eminem. Run for the hills everyone!

I haven't updated on Grace's ears because I was taking a wait and see attitude. This time, there seems to have been a mistake made with her other ear. It has been bleeding ever since, although everyday it seems a little bit better. I thought that maybe I misunderstood the doctor when he told me these complications only happen at most once a year... that there was no way it could have happened to Grace twice if that was the case. But then the nurse from the hospital called to check on her and was positively horrified to hear that her ear is bleeding and assured me that it's definitely not normal. Great. So I don't have too much to say yet whether this will be successful although she does seem to be hearing better already. I hope to know more later this week.

And now I'm off to enjoy a fire, a comfy blanket and the rest of that bad scrapbooking mystery I talked about in the last post.
