Bachelorette Party!

And one more from the day before the Taylor Swift concert.  Which was AMAZING btw.  Except no one would stand up in our section, which really disappointed me and ticked me off.  But I digress, here is my other blog I wrote before and never posted:

This weekend I had my bachelorette party!  It was pretty low-key because my sister knows my friends and I are not what you would call “party animals” unless you consider dancing to Taylor Swift or playing ‘truth or dare’ wild and crazy.  What?  That’s what 12 year olds do?  Well then you won’t be surprised about where we went.

First we met at my apartment and opened presents and talked.  Everyone received a risqué button like “lucky” and “flirt” and “vamp.” Rachel brought dice.  For example, one would say “dance with” and the other would say “a bald guy” but three of us were too scared to even talk to a stranger, let alone dance with or wink at one.  Before we left I got a tiara that said “Bride to Be” with a veil, a light up button that said Bride to Be, a Bachelorette sash, a shot glass necklace and a whistle.  I have no idea what the whistle was for but I wore it anyways.  Well I was wearing a silky, pink party dress that I got for $20 on sale at Deb (it could be worn for homecoming) and all the girls were wearing dresses as well.  Then we went bowling!  Cosmic bowling at 10:00.  We got lots of stares and a few comments:

            *is this a homecoming party?

            *you came because they told you I was a stripper didn’t you? (This was a 40 year old man that I assumed was drunk but it turned out he was a bartender.  I couldn’t hear half of what he said so I smiled and nodded and he seemed satisfied with  whatever I was agreeing too.) 

And my all-time, well-meaning but dumb statement was:

            *Happy Birthday! (VEIL what BIRTHDAY chick wears a VEIL?)

But at least that must mean I can pass for 21 right?  Freshly 21, but at least out of my teens.  Maybe it was the shot glass?  (That went unused by the way) Well I can understand some of the confusion, most people go dancing or bar hopping for a bachelorette party.  But we are not “most people”. 

Michelle did not do well on her bowling score but at least she looked super cute while trying! 

Jill and Emilee drove all the way up from Lincoln and braved a storm for my party.  You guys rock my socks off!
