Party Like it’s 1985 NYE Partay

FINALLY.

Lack of internet kinda hurts my blogging. In the next few months I’m going to decide between internet and cable or an iPhone. I’m thinking the iPhone will win since I don’t watch much TV and if I reaaaalllly need to blog I can go to Mars Cafe, to the library or do it over lunch at work.

anywho… Kelly posted pics from the awesome totally 80s NYE party.  And they’re awesome.  I need to buy a point and shoot camera, but I’m trying to revamp my budget right now to allow for an iPhone or internet/cable.

Okay no more mentions of budgets or iPhones. BLOGGING.

The party was pretty fun, but as per usual we kind of petered out around 11 PM. I went to Kelly’s to help setup. While she was cleaning, I put up the backdrop for the “official” prom photos.

Kelly got most of that fabric from work...blue tulle was from Senior Portfolio night almost 2 years ago.

Anyway, backdrop was awesome.  Kelly and I started getting ready. Since I recently just chopped off my hair, my hair style consisted of me flipping my head upside down and spraying the living bejesus out of a can of hairspray all over it.  Kelly opted for a side pony with the same treatment and some crimping.  I overdid our eyeshadow (Maria’s BF, Marty, said Kelly’s looked “postapocolyptic”…like Mad Max style)…I think we both ended up with 4-5 shades of eyeshadow and some black eyeliner. Awesomeness.

People starting arriving and changing into their attire… with exception of Meredith who was literally sewn into her dress because somebody had been sewn in and cut out of it previously.  Awesome.  Oh, and Maria came already dressed because that’s how she rolls.   Carol had 2 dresses so she did photos in both, as did I.  Although, I couldn’t quite zip the one dress (and by couldn’t quite, I mean there was a 4-inch gap).

Anyway, party ensued. Everybody mixed their drinks and I did 4 shots of tequila rose (I feel like I’ve mentioned that before…I’m not a big drinker, so I guess I’m proud). Kelly and I opened a bottle of raspberry wine, which wasn’t very good…so she opened her one of 2 bottles of her favorite wine and we each had a glass of that.  I had a glass of champagne around midnight and spilled some of each of my drinks on my dress (which now needs to be dry cleaned).

Most of the night was spent arguing over whether Carol should move to Iowa or Texas. I think Iowa, but hell, I’d love to move to TX myself where it’s warm most of the year and where I can wear my hair as big as I please all year round…oh and drive a friggin’ truck.

Anyway, good times had by all. Music was good.  Friends were great. I even got a kiss at midnight.  Reluctantly by the boyfriend since he’s super allergic to felines and Kelly’s apartment still had a layer of cat fur embedded after vacuuming..so it was kind of a snotty New Year’s kiss. Oh well. I was drunk, so I didn’t care.

Anyway, here are some gratuitous photos of us from our 80s prom.

notice the postapocolyptic eyeshadow. Oh, and the awesome bow.

Cuz that's how we roll.

I swear to God it fit 3 pounds ago. 3 friggin pounds extra=4 inch gap.
