I've been semi-busy the past week. I went out to eat with Savannah and Whitley last Wednesday; we went to Panera (where they did not have a bread bowl to go with my soup, woe) and then Orange Leaf. It was my first visit to Orange Leaf, and it was just as yummy as everyone says. Thursday night I went out to BD's with Whitley and George, and then we made a spontaneous trip to Meijer's so that I could buy some tissue paper and contact solution (and face wash...which I didn't exactly need). Then we went back to George's to watch American Idol, which I never ever watch. I mostly made comments about the people and asked questions and George was very bitter because his favorite girl went home.
Friday afternoon began the Weekend of the Wedding. This weekend had so many high points, and some low points which were very stressful. Amanda was the perfect bride, and never once yelled or snapped at anyone. She was so calm. I was not, hahaha. I'll be a wreck whenever I get married.
I had planned Amanda's bachelorette party for that night (and it was VERY stressful, believe me. It took so long to plan what we were doing and where we were going. I hate being in charge...), and one of the bridesmaids picked me up in Lexington so we could carpool to Cincinnati. We actually got to the hotel around 5, but we had to wait for Rudy, another bridesmaid, to show up with all the party supplies. Amanda got there at the same time as Rudy, so I kept her downstairs, talking (and venting about the many things stressing her out about the wedding, poor girl), until they were finished getting everything set up. Lyndsay, another bridesmaid, came up shortly after 6 also. The room looked fantastic, and we had lots of cute bachelorette decorations and food.
The night got interesting, very quickly. I had seen that there was a placed called Bar Seventy-one nearby...it sounded classy and fun on Google. You might not be as naive as me, so you're thinking...um, that sounds like a BAR. Well, I thought maybe it wasn't really a BAR but more like a bar and grill or something. We piled in the car, in our dresses and party hats, and we finally find the place. It looks kind of shady from the outside, but we go inside anyway (after walking by a group of people on the patio, clapping and yelling "HAPPY BIRTHDAY", hahaha). It's dark and empty, and a creepy older man asks for our ids immediately. I find this odd, but we all take them out (including Lyndsay, who is underage). He asked her if she was just going to hang out for a while, then leave. WHAT?! I did not understand. We told him we'd find our own seats...and Amanda did not seem very enthusiastic about eating there. The waitress gave us no menus, but asked what we wanted to drink...are we alcoholics or something? Weird. Rudy is like "We weren't sure what this place was...do you know any other places to get good food?" and the waitress gets VERY snippy and says "We serve food. I'm not sure about other places, but this place is good." So I ask Amanda if she wants to stay, and she said she didn't want to stay. So Rudy handed our menus to the rude waitress, and we left. Awkward....
We decided to go to Carabba's instead, which was conveniently located right across from our hotel. We get inside, and get seated. We were STARVING, so we immediately find what we're going to get. Our waiter was the nicest man alive, he gave me free soup because I didn't order a salad. Kim kept making her food into a penis and balls. The waiter told us that he didn't believe that one of us was really getting married because we didn't look old enough. After we ate our dinner, he brought us dessert for free. Best waiter EVER. He also didn't charge Amanda or Rudy for pink lemonade.
Hilarious: As we were walking back to the "limo" aka Kim's parents van, we realized the door was WIDE OPEN. It had been open for over an hour! There were 2 bridesmaids dresses in the van, as well as a GPS. NOTHING WAS STOLEN. Also, her battery wasn't dead. WHAT A MIRACLE. We had a good laugh over that...
We went back to the hotel (we aren't wild and crazy, so bars and clubs weren't really our idea of fun) and took ridiculous pictures...are you ready for this craziness? HERE WE GO-
Rudy and Amanda

on bottom: me, Kim, and Rudy
Lyndsay and Amanda, Kim and Rudy...
...I don't even know. Hahaha
Then the real fun began...Amanda opened her presents. My presents were pretty tame, and they progressively got more scandalous. Rudy gave her sexy undies and whipped cream from VS, and Kim...well, she gave her a fetish gift (total gag gift, people), some novelty pills as jokes, a memory book (which we used for quotes and souvenirs of the night, haha), and well--a sucker shaped like a part of the male anatomy. Yup. Plus a glow in the dark condom...wow.
What happened next we will not speak of, hahaha. It's okay though, it was a bachelorette party and at least we weren't out in public making fools of ourselves. Well, actually we did go out to get board games around 10 in our pjs, wearing our masks, but at least we weren't drunk and slutty and idiots. :) I have some hilarious pictures, but what happens in Best Western room 232 stays there.
Lyndsay had to leave for the night, and Rudy decided to head home around midnight...after we played a competitive game of Taboo and a calmer game of Imaginiff.
All in all, I think it was quite a fun, entertaining, slightly scandalous night for everyone who came.
Saturday outings and rehearsal dinner recap coming tomorrow (unless I am feeling too lazy, which is likely, hahaha). Then THE WEDDING DAY. :)
