My Bachlorette Party Follow up (long, includes Mad Lib and a short vent about the best man)
Carmie
As I posted on Friday, my bachlorette party (and my FH bachelor party) was
this past Sat.
The bachlorette party started at a local paint your own pottery place that
my MOH and I frequent (we did this so my Mom and those who were underage
could participate--we had also done this for my sisters bachlorette party
with great success) where I was surprised with a white shirt and a sharpie
marker (so people could sign me all night). My youngest sister (I have two)
presented me with a yardstick that had a life sized photo of our middle
sister's head attached to it (Debbie lives in Atlanta with her husband, and
couldn't make it up for the bachlorette party this weekend AND the wedding
next weekend). I was informed that since I made Debbie carry around Mr..
Stud (an inflatable man) all night at her bachlorette party, I had to carry
Debbie around all night so that she could be there.
We had drinks and snacks and pottery painting for about two hours (for $25 a
person everyone gets to paint a piece for themselves (up to $15 in value)
and sign a piece for the bride and all the paint and paint time is
included), and I was visited by a very handsome young man who brought me a
rose and read me three poems from Pablo Neruda and one he wrote himself. We
were all a little disappointed that he didn't take his clothes off, but he
was very sweet. (My sister in Atlanta arranged for this with my MOH.
Apparently they tried to find a poet/stripper (I was an Eng. Lit major in
college and write poetry) but with no luck.
I was also nicely surprised with a gift from the manager of the pottery
place (I go alot, and I've gotten quite a number of people hooked) which was
a heart shaped picture frame (which I got to paint) and a photo of my FH and
I the very first time we were ever there. (We found it pretty soon after
they opened, and they were having an "Unbirthday Party" where they give
everyone who paints party hats and serve birthday cake and soda). They had
taken pictures of everyone there, and he has been telling me for over two
years that he had this picture of us and he would bring it in--so it was a
really sweet surprise--not to mention a goofy picture.
My MOH had purchased the BACHLORETTE PARTY IN A BOX kit, so in the middle of
painting the mad lib came out--(which I am recreating at someone's request):

And here's the story:
Once upon a time there lived a beautiful HAT who dreamed of RUNNING in love.
She would stare at her reflection in the LIGHTBULB and dream that her ideal
DESK would come along and sweep her off her ARM.
"My PEN has been broken so many times before," she thought to herself. "How
will I know when the right PAPER comes along?"
One day she was riding her CAT across town when suddenly she spotted the
most HANDSOME man she had ever seen. She mad a loud BING as she saw this
man approach here.
He spoke to her. "My honey, I have never seen a toe like yours before.
THey are so WACKY and SILLY.
"Thank you," she replied and her face turned GREEN from embarrassment.
"My name is EMMETT," he said reaching out his ELBOW to shake hers.
"I'm STAR," she answered back.
The couple began KISSING and soon fell BELLY over KNEEPIT in love. 33 days
later, EMMETT knew it was time to JUMP the question. he took STAR to a
quiet secluded place and got down on one FINGERNAIL.
"I love you," he said as COFFEE formed in his eyes. "I want to spend the
next 7 DAYS of my life with you. Will you KICK me?"
STAR was so happy that she PUNCH her arms around his neck. "I CLEAN you,
and I can't think of anything I want more than to be your tape!"
The couple married in beautiful NEW ORLEANS. The bride wore a lovely dress
of BLUE SILK. The wonderful couple had 47 kids, and TREATED happily ever
after.
The End
Can you tell I was at work when I picked my words!
Before the evening was through, I was also given a veil (with a small comb),
a garter (put on over my pants) and pair of handcuffs, a candy necklace, a
neon pink feather boa (which was fun--I think I'll wear one whenever I go
out) and a giant heart shaped ring that flashed differnt colors when you
presed it , to wear. Once the four of us who were old enough/had id/were
interested got to the night club after painting, I was given a penis Krazy
Straw (really funny because my FH works for the company who make actual
Krazy Straws--I am not certain whether this was one of theirs or not), a
penis shaped taffy, and a penis party blower.
Of course, My sister's head was also in attendance. (My GF Tracy, who
weighs about 10 pounds and has not been out since before her 16 month old
was born and who has known me since I was 4 and my sister since darn near
birth (we were next door neighbors) carried my sister's head around like a
totem. It was really funny because since becoming a Mom Tracy has been
pretty straight laced, but soon she was introducing everyone to Debbie,
demanding everyone say hello to Debbie, knocking over drinks and blaming it
on Debbie. She got a lot of attention--my friend Jessica said next time we
go out everyone is getting a Debbie).
The club we went to is called the Maui complex, and actually consists of
several clubs--a sing-a-long dueling piano bar (where my sister Debbie
arranged to have them play TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR for me, adn they
played going to the chapel), a 70s/80s dance club, and modern dance club and
two outside areas, one with a large bar, beach volleyball and live music.
We stayed there all night dancing, singing, a rescuing Tracy and Debbie from
all the men trying to steal them away. It was a really good time, adn we
closed the place down.
My FH also had his bachelor party that night. Tracy's husband was kind
enough to organize it since the best man "had never been to a bachelor party
or a strip club, wouldn't know how to throw one and had no intention of ever
going to a strip club". They started at Dave and Busters (which is like a
giant arcade/bar for grown ups) so that anyone who didn't want to go to
the strip clubs could still participate. (This was done mostly for the
benefit of the best man, who did say he would come, and then didn't show
up). The rest of the night they spent at strip clubs, where his friends
treated him to some wild and funny stuff.
We are wondering at this point if the best man can even be depended upon to
show up for the wedding. Frankly, at this point, I could care less.
Wedding 6 days!

school next month and the entire class goes on a chemical free adventure
that same night. His older sister has threatened to put a life size
picture of his head on a stick for the party we are throwing immediately
after graduation for the family and pose it in various situations. You
made me laugh!
