On Saturday night, Tony and I went to a couples bridal shower.
At the bowling alley.
Sounds crazy, right? A Bridal Shower, at the bowling alley. WHAT?
But I'm here to tell you, it is so NOT crazy. Well, unless by "crazy", you mean "The Greatest Idea in the History of Bridal Showers."
The best part about the shower was that it was a surprise to the bride and groom to be. I'm a SUCKAH for surprises. They make me uncontrollably happy. As we were standing there in the bowling alley waiting for the bride to show up, I kept asking people "Do you think she knows? Do you think she knows? Do you think she'll freak out when she sees us? What about when she sees the guys? Do you think she'll cry? OMG. DO you think she knows?" As I was asking the questions, repeatedly, my mouth was watering (from the excitment) and I kept jumping up and down whilst clapping and squeeling because EEEEEEEEE! SURPRISE!
I seriously geek the hell out.
The groom arrived first and found a room full of family, friends and one crazed out psycho surprise lover in the bar. Everyone was all "SURPRISE!" and Oh my God, I think I made sweet pee pee in my pants because SURPRISE ACHIEVED!
As soon as he arrived, he was given a pair of pink boxers that he had to wear. (Do I need to tell you how crazy that made me inside, it was like THIS IS THE GREATEST SURPRISE BRIDAL SHOWER IN HISTORY AND IT HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET!)
After everyone explained to the groom what was going on, the girls went and waited for the bride. Once she walked through the doors, we totally tricked her. We were like "This is your shower, girl, let's bowl!" Little did she know that her fiance, her brothers, uncles and male friends were waiting for her outside. (With roses in hand! But that was supposed to be a surprise! Sorry! I can't help it, I'm so excited to tell you about this!)
As we started to put on our socks and bowling shoes, her fiance snuck in the door and surprised her with a pink ring, a rose and a pink veil. She started laughing hysterically, which made me so happy because it worked! We surprised her! Sweet pee pee! After they had their moment, the guys walked in one at a time, each giving her a rose and a kiss on the cheek and a little joy to a certain little dork sitting on chair feeling so lucky to be a part of such an awesome moment in history.
Since I hardly ever get a night out with my husband and since I am no longer a nursing mother, I decided I was going to have me a few drinks of some hard liquor.
Ha! Ha! I said "A few."
After my 3rd double rum and diet coke, my friends were like "Hey, how many of those have you had? Are you ok?"
And I was all "I'm GREAT! You just better hope that they don't turn on any music!" Because, people? When I'm drinking, it's all fun and games until the DJ busts out The Hip Hop and R&B.
Well, um, after we were done bowling, everyone decided to go hang out in the pool room/BAR. And HOLY CRAP, there was music. Sweet hip hop music. I started out calm, with just a little bobbing of the head and gentle thrusts of the hips. But then, some dude, (Sorry, Michelle, I can't remember his name!) challenged me to some sort of dance off. Obviously, he had NO CLUE who he was dealing with. At one point, he uttered the words "You'll have to do better than that."
Big mistake, dude. Big. Freaking. Mistake.
The next words out of his mouth? "OHHHHH, SHE DROPPED IT LIKE IT'S HOT." I'll let you "imagine" the move I busted out. But just remember "drop" and "hot."
What happened next marked the moment that my husband decided it was probably time to go home. We were all standing around the bar and the same dude who had challenged me before was still talking smack about my dancing, so I was like "DUDE, do NOT make me bust out The Worm, because I will."
Two seconds later, I fell to the floor, forgetting that I was wearing a skirt. And granny panties. Because WHOOPS, I was on The Rag.
Funny how liquor makes you forget little things like that.
Let me show you a little post that I wrote when I got home before I continue.
Because I love you all so much, I am going to give you some awesomeadvice.If you've had um, a great deal to drink and you are wearing a skirt and also your granny panties because haha who's goign to see your chonies? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT BUST OUT WITH THE WORM IN THE MIDDL EOF THE BAR OF THE BOWLING ALLEY.
seriously. Do not. No one needs to see all of that white chunky goodness that are your thighs and also your lower ass. NO ONE.
And when peopel call you "stripper" it's not a compliment. It's more like a HAHAHAAAA we've got you on film doing "the worm "in yourskirt you drunken dumbass.
I am goign to kick people's asses tomorrow for encourgaing me to do such things.
(But honestly? You've not liveduntil you've seen me do the worm, people. Jus tmake sure I'm notwearing a skirt when youa sk me to do it.)
So, yeah, I wasn't thinking about the skirt flying up on my first attempt of The Worm. But, I quickly fixed the problem by tucking my skirt between my legs and proceeded to show them all that when you issue me any type of challenge that involves "Dancing"? YOU LOSE.
(P.S. Attention Wimmins attending Blogher. FEAR NOT! I will not be packing any skirts! Unlike the unlucky few at the bowling alley on Saturday night, your eyes will be spared the White Chunky Goodness that are my thighs and lower buttocks!)
On the way home, Tony made me cry. He said he was mortified when the skirt flew up because (and these are his exact words) "No one needs to see your pad, woman."
First of all, no one saw The Pad. It's not like I lifted up my skirt, spread my legs and bent over. My skirt lifted up a little. BIG FREAKING DEAL. He only said that to be An Ass and to make me feel like an ass. And I did for about 2 minutes, but you know what? The same way that "No one puts Baby in a corner?"
"No one makes me feel about about doing The Worm."
(Well, except if you send me in email the day AFTER I do the worm and say "Everyone talked about the worm at the game, but no worries, it's all good!" Because that will make me all paranoid and shit and wish I had kept my worm to myself and done The Monkey instead.)
HILEROUS!
The fucking worm. HAHAHAHAHAHA
You go girl ;)
