Slumber Party

This was Kaylyn's last weekend in DC as a single person. In order to celebrate, I threw a bachelorette slumber party. There was only one rule for the evening: you must were pajamas. It started out with yummy artichoke dip, pizza, Italian soda, oreos, chips, and lots of chocolate. It was a girls-night-at-home paradise.

The party games started with Kim sharing her version of MASH. Instead of using paper, she used a deck of cards. You had to pick four men that you would be interested in. The the other women would ask you questions and you had to pick which person you would do that thing with. A few of the favorite questions were:
"Who would you have had a crush on when you were in high school?"
"With whom could you talk about anything?
"Who would you like to kiss under the mistletoe?
After you go through all of the cards, you read about your fortune with each person (heart= love; diamonds= money; spades= fighting; club=number of children.) The game proved with some very positive matches.....and the cards don't lie.

Then we moved on to truth or dare.....a classic slumber party game. It started out easy with people choosing truth. However, Ms. Beal made it more interesting by choosing to do a dare. She was dared to throw rocks at a guys bedroom. She followed through and it was very loud. Jenny was dared to knock on a guys door, in the West Virginia housecoat I bought, and sing a song for him. She chose "All I want for Christmas is you." It was amazing. Then Mary agreed to run up and down the Melrose corridor screaming "I am crazy." Millie was next dared to sing/dance with a broom outside of the Melrose. As we were walking out for Millie's dare, Arlington's finest were walking up. Here was the interaction with the police officers:
Officer: Are you why we were called here tonight?
Me (in my green pj's): I don't know officer...am I?
Officer: We received a phone call of noise disturbance.
Me: Oh. Maybe it was us. We have been going in and out to another one of our friends.
Officer: Hmmm....you don't sound very loud to me. Enjoy your night. (exits the Melrose)

We stayed in the house for the rest of the night and watched the edited version of Love Actually. There were two young men, that will go nameless, that did try to crash the all-girls slumber party. They were quickly dealt with and the party continued. It was a delightful night full of dancing, singing, laughing, and female bonding.
