Thanks to all those who came to my Howl at the Moon Reverse Happy Hour party! It was a very eclectic group of people. Mostly it was people I knew from Hays, Osage, or Manhattan. The most fun was meeting the friends of my friends. I invited around forty people and I didn’t know about half of them. I loved it though! I felt like a celebrity because every person who I didn’t know that got on in for free & received half price drinks because of me, would say, “Ohh! This is your party! Thanks for having me!”
And I kept thinking, “You’re welcome! I won a raffle. It was real hard work.” A lot of those people bought me drinks to “pay me back” in a way. Which was unnecessary but much appreciated. And since I won the party, I received two bead necklaces from the party promoter so that she could pick me out of the crowd and buy me drinks later in the night.
One of which I didn’t even get to drink. As I was sitting down in my chair, I pushed down on the table, which caused the entire thing to tilt and my brand new long island ice tea to crash to the ground.
I had a really great time regardless. The pianists played a 21st b-day song for MommaJ that was very embarrassing (and hilarious). “Some girls get zirconium. Other girls get glass. MommaJ gets a diamond cuz she takes it up the ass!”
I did a little dancing and a lot of singing. I was so engrossed in a table conversation that I didn’t even realize the music had stopped playing and the bar was almost empty.
Those of us not from KC crashed at a friend’s place for the night. It was a full house. BoyCrazy and her friend slept on the bottom bunk and my friend Harmonious slept on top. There was even another bed in the room where some random slept. The rest of us were spread throughout.
When I woke up (too early) the next morning, I went to check on Harmonious and BoyCrazy. Strange. Harmonious was on a mattress on the floor. I swore this thing had been a bunk bed last night. And then I saw the fire engine red metal frame standing straight up beside BC’s bed. It had completely crashed on top of her and her friend in the middle of the night.
I guess it already broken last week so it wasn’t that unusual. But as BC’s friend explains it, “I woke up. And I was like, ‘ow’. And we were trapped in a cage.” Harmonious didn’t even realize that her bed had fallen three feet and landed on top of them. “I just realized I was slanted.” It wasn’t until the random in the room said, “Get up!” that Harmonious snottily answered, “Me?” Everyone was fine except for a little bump on the head. But I thought it was just about the funniest thing I had ever heard.
Actually everything was super funny to me that morning. Like my pancake or my very bruised tailbone. (It still hurts to sit/stand by the way) All in all: very successful last weekend.
And a shout out to MommaJ’s family. Thank you for coming and thank you for letting me stay at your house Saturday night. It was like having a hotel all to myself. :)
