This past Saturday night, I had the pleasure of attending another bridal shower for (another) cousin who is getting married this year. Because her mother works during the day, the shower was planned for the evening (pajama party) so she could attend. Despite the fact that so many people were late (myself included) due to horrendous traffic and road closures, it was a very nice, fun shower. I'll write more about the shower itself and put up some pictures in a separate post.
I'm really looking forward to this wedding because I get to geek out at some of the cool gadgets they'll have there. The bride and groom had won the grand prize for the HP Signature Style Wedding Contest. Check out the prize list! HP gave them a whole mess of really cool stuff, including homework (homework = not so cool). A group of seven of us stayed until 1:30am for the "Assembly After Party" (to fold, stuff, punch holes, & tie the beautiful, elaborate programs that were specially designed for them (paid for by HP) and printed on expensive handmade metallic silver paper (also paid for by HP) using the brand new HP printer (not available yet on the market) that she won.
One of the coolest things about the party is that we took digital pictures and then were immediately able to print them out on (one of the) HP Photosmart 230 Printers she won. It was very cool. Instant gratification at its best.
Anyway, here's a picture of me and my bear right after getting home from the party. My friend James already told me I looked like a raver, which cracks me up because I'm sooo not a raver-chick (hey! I'm not wearing a pacifier nor am I sucking on a lollipop!). (Can you see Joz saying "PLUR"?! Ha!)
Next weekend, we all head out to Vegas for the bachelorette party. The rumor is that we'll be going to see The Thunder From Down Under and then go dancing the night away. Perhaps we will get another cheesy photo with hot, half-naked, sweaty guys to add to my collection.
BTW, I'm quite disappointed I won't get to see Krix this weekend... she's coming to L.A. for the weekend! We are going to wave at each other as we pass each other on the I-15.
