Party Day!

So, saturday was my shower.   I got up early to work out then go have my hair blown own.    Well, I arrived at the salon, and my girl wasnt there.  WHAT.  I was beyond furious.   So, her husband works there, and says Ill do it.   Fine.   OMG so bad.  My hair was a mess.    I was going to go home and wash it, and just do it myself, but I literally had 20min to get dressed.  It took him over an hour to blow dry and curl my hair.   Ugh.   So, so bad.    I cringe at every picture.  :(

Anyhoo, my shower was at a really swanky restaraunt.  The food was great.  There were about 25 people, it was a nice crowd.  My aunt from VA came up!   I got some really awesome gifts, including a Dyson Animal Ball, and a Kitchenaid Mixer.   Yay!  I had a great time. 

Then my MOH took me to Bloomies to have my makeup donw for my Bachelorette party, that same night.    After I  arrived home to a house full of girls.   they had a great set up!  snacks, drinks, gag gifts... and my dyson all set up.  I insisted on vacuuming before i left. 

One of the girls brought apple pie shots.  I dont drink shots.   Ever.    And she was insistant.  "cmon its apple pie, just try it"  so i sipped one shot over 2 hrs, to taste it.  It was yummy, but that was enough.     The limo picked us up at 9, and took us to Hoboken.    This is where I black out.    The "cmon its only apple pie" shot.....was everclear.   I literally remember pieces of my party.   :(    Fom what I understand, everyone had a great time, and we danced and had a ton of fun together.     I'm pretty sad I dont remember my party though :(    oh well, at least everyone had fun!   (and i looked hot!)

All in all, I think it was a good day.    I didnt get any dishes, utensils or the toasting flutes I registered for, but now I can shopping!!   (after i vaccum) 

Re: Party Day!

  • Sounds like a great day/night...minus the blacking out part!!

    I like shots and anything called Apple Pie sounds yummy to me!

  • Haha, oh gosh.  I hope I don't black out for mine, but let's be honest, I probably will, haha.  Sounds like you got the big ticket items instead of the little though!  Score!  Come vacuum my house please! :)

    This actually makes me feel much better.   I never get to the point where I absolutely cannot remember what I did, so in addition to the massive hangover I had Sunday, I felt a little ashamed.    FI said "it was a bachelorette party, what did you think they were gonna do?! " and he laughed it off.   My MOH said "hands down, craziest bachelorette party Ive ever been to...it was awesome!"   So, nobody seemed to care about it but me.      Happy to hear Im not the only one! 
  • Trust me, you aren't the only one that blacks out.  The first time I went out after turning 21 (a month later), I don't remember a single thing expect the ride home really (with my friend and a random dude taking us home) and the 2 day hangover!  I haven't drank like that since, it was horrible.

    Definitely get that recipe, it sounds yummy and I have some friends that would love to black out off that, lol.

    I'm normally not a shot person either, but if it's fruity (jell-o shots or Washington Apples), I'm down!
  • OMG, what a crazy night! Sounds like The Hangover lol!

    I would have been pissed if my friends did that to me, but that's because I'm a control freak and I rarely, if ever, get intoxicated to the point where I'm not in control of myself. I just hate that feeling, that's just my weird quirk. But it sounds like you handled it well and didn't do anything too crazy! :)
  • Glad your shower went well.  Kind of sucks about the party.  If it makes you feel better I think we've all probably been there once or twice.  :)  I was pretty careful for my bach weekend not to get too drunk.  I didn't want to have a horrible hangover while out of town. 

    Oh and post that shot recipe on here. :)

  • I'm glad you had a good time!  Ugh...I think I threw up a little while reading your apple pie experience.  I can never, never do that again thanks to a friend who said stuff right along those lines to me...however, I don't think it helped the fact that I guzzled later thinking it was juice.  Gotta love our errors in judgement when we go out! ;)

  • Glad to hear you had a good time!  Sounds like you got great gifts...gotta love KitchenAid Mixers and Dyson!

    I do NOT do shots either!!
  • that is awesome, and even though u dont remember it, at least you had a great time for the time being.mmmmm  apple pie shots!!! i looove shots!!  What restaurant did u go to? Where in hoboken did u go?? i need ideas for my b~party!
