Partied Out

I think I am partied out. Tonight I sat in my green chair, surfed the Internet, chatted with my wonderful friend Bethany, read a book, and relaxed. This is the life! As much as I enjoy organized fun, I think I've hit my threshold for a while!

It all began with my friend Becca's birthday dinner. We ate at a Greek place in town and watched Nicholas Nickelby (a Dickens movie) afterwards. It's more depressing than celebratory, but that's ok. There are some redeeming aspects for sure.

The next night I helped with a fall party for kids in the school community. My friend Becky was in charge, so I came and manned the cupcake walk. As you can see from the picture below, I decided to dress as a bed-head. It sounded like a great idea - put on your pajamas at 4pm and wear them for the rest of the day.


My only mistake was adding the facial mask. Those things can get a little itchy after three hours! I also went to a teacher party afterwards but by that time I was no longer white-faced. These pores can only take so much exfoliating.My roommate Kim turned 30 on Monday, so Hannah (another roommate) and I threw her a surprise party that night. We did a pretty good job fooling her and I think I might have seen tears well up in her eyes whe she opened the door.
The pic above is of Kim blowing out her candles. Hannah made lemon pies and I made brownies. We put the candles in the brownies. Lesson learned? Candles will melt into the chocolate if you put them in the brownies before they cool.

We also gave Kim gifts - 30 of something. She got 30 chocolate bars, 30 paper clips, 30 chocolate chips, 30 gummies, 30 toilet paper pieces, etc. I discovered yesterday that she is storing all her chocolate in her desk at school, so I think I'm going to begin helping her get rid of it all. Tuesday night we went to see Phantom of the Opera - in Hungarian! Note the impressive pose below. The show was awesome - great music, amazing set, and thankfully, subtitles. We had seats on the first row of the balcony which was a great view.

Last night, the youth group at my church came over for pancakes & praise and worship. I went to McCafe for a caramel latte.

Needless to say, I'm hoping the celebrating is over for at least a week. I can't take much more of this!
