I am guessing you did NOT do what I did: attend a toga party thrown by YOUR PARENTS. Boom. I bet you all feel pretty silly now.
Because I got to dress like THIS (in a bedsheet from my childhood):
And my husband and sister rocked out some wicked cool sheets for their togas and enjoyed multiple free drinks (while I enjoyed multiple free shirley temples):
I got to share a romantic dance with my husband (while he desperately arched his spine and pretended that my massive preggo belly was NOT an issue while slow dancing):
Oh, and did I mention there were PRIESTS there? (identity obscured because I don't want to go to hell):
I also got to witness my parents being schmoopy:
And my dad acting like a whackadoo:
So, all in all ... I WIN!! But I hope your weekend was lovely nonetheless (I'm not heartless).
Somehow...something just seems very wrong with parents throwing a toga party. Because I remember the toga parties I went to in college and yeah....it's not what I want to envision my parents doing. Yucky.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds AMAZING. Sadly, all I did was eat pizza and watch the antics of the insane people in the apartment pool from my boyfriend's balcony. I also nearly witnessed an amateur firecracker show burn down the building. Good times?
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! Looks like it was a ton of fun! And you totally win the most fun holiday award....because I had to work. ALL day. boo!
ReplyDeleteSAS -- well, there were priests invited, so I pretty much assumed it would not be like my college days toga parties! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Raisin Girl -- I hear you on the people trying to burn down my neighborhood thing. My dog hyperventilated from 8 PM until THREE AM when they finally quit shooting off fireworks like 5 feet from my house.
Lisa -- Haha, it was, thanks! I used to always have to work on the 4th too. In fact, I have no idea how I managed to get away scot-free (is that how that expression is spelled?) this year!
Your dad looks EXACTLY how I pictured Socrates in first year philosophy! Best party ever!
ReplyDeletenadiwoo -- Thanks! I think he's got a good look going on. He gets compared to Santa Claus a lot too.
