Photographic Evidence - Bachelorette Party

You guys, blogging is kinda hard.  I'm sorry I don't post more regularly - I just get caught up at work and at home, and then all of a sudden I haven't posted in six days.  Sorry about that.

But!  I make it up to you.  Because I figured out how to do a photo album!  The India one is in the works, and in the meantime, check out the BACHELORETTE PARTY PICTURES. **  I apologize in advance for all the alcohol-related pictures and writing.

My sisters organized it, and lots of friends flattered me by coming.  I had no idea what was happening that night.  There were a few plastic penises (glow in the dark!) but it wasn't too bad.  At least no icky veils with genitals hanging off of them, ew.  Overall I think it was a pretty classy, yet appropriately wild, affair.  Props to my sisters for doing it, and BIG props for my sister Ruthie, who really did the majority of the planning.  I joked with her that if I ever need a project manager for anything, I am totally hiring her.  She was organized and inventive - good characteristics when planning a party.

She made a "gin bucket" (Gin, Fresca, Ice, lemon and lime), and had plastic syringes ready for the shots - pretty fun icebreaker, since it gave good mingling opportunities.  There were also cosmos, beer, and... blow job shots.  Ruthie was nicknamed RuthLESS that night since I was plied with so many different kinds of drinks.  Personally, I thought it was hilarious.  Plus, my friend Baja was on Water Watch, so I was pretty hydrated with every drink. 

I received loads of gag gifts.  Gwen's Talking Vibrator was a pretty big hit.  "Hell, can't you get a real man?!"

And of course I had to answer a bunch of questions that Anuj had pre-answered, drinking or doling out drinks accordingly.

Run, don't walk, and check out the photoalbum!

And, if anyone has any pictures of the shower on Sunday that they want to share with me, I'd be highly appreciative.

Talking vibrator? How funny! And Gin buckets? Mmmmm.

Thank God. I was starting to think your plane crashed or something. It's a lot easier to update your blog when you're supposed to be doing research/homework/papers instead. You should take up grad school to make yourself blog more.

I have some pictures of the shower, I'll send them to you when I get around to connecting the camera to the computer... you know how it is.

[Gwen]

It was all about you having fun -- and I am Pretty sure you did! Props to your sisters for pulling together not only one of the best but most organized Bachelorette party I have ever been to! And our guest of hoor...props to her for being cheery and bright-eyed at the Bridal Shower the next day.

[Gwen]

Uhhh...typo - hoor = honor

Sorry!

[Saron]

You and your sisters are so pretty!

Looks like fun was had by all.

I wish I could have been there!

[Isabel]

I love the "shots". I've never heard of that and think it's quite clever.

And what a bunch of lovely ladies.

Looks like you guys had a fun time (even if there were a few plastic penis')!

[BaddMinton]

You and your sisters all have such toned arms! I love your blog, by the way. I found it through dooce, and am hooked!

[Katie K.]

For the love of all things holy - PLEASE Joke remove the very last picture or at least crop me out of it. PLEASE for me? PLEASE!?

[Katie formerly Katie K.]

ps. Since I'm the only Katie so far. I'd like to decree that I am no longer Katie K and I am just Katie. This past weekend I was being introduced as Katie K. and I think I like plain Katie better...

[Kim]

Looks like you had a ton of fun!
LMAO at the talking dildo!

[rachel]

[Stacey]

Great pix, it looks like you had a wonderful time at your bachelorette party! Your planners were more merciful on you than my planners were for mine: I had to carry around a 6-foot tall inflatable penis half the night! Talk about embarrassing!

[janet]

Camel Condom

Two old ladies were waiting for a bus and one of them was smoking a cigarette.It started to rain,so the old lady reached into her purse,took out a condom,cut off the tip and slipped it over her cigarette and continued to smoke.Her friend saw this and said, “Hey that’s a good idea!What is it that you put over your cigarette?”The other old lady said, “It’s a condom.” “A condom?Where do you get those?”The lady with the cigarette told her friend that you could purchase condoms at the pharmacy.When the two old ladies arrived downtown,the old lady with all the questions went into the pharmacy and asked the pharmacists if he sold condoms.The pharmacists said yes,but looked a little surprised that this old woman was interested in condoms,so he asked her, “What size do you want?”The old lady thought for a minute and said, “One that will fit a Camel!”
