Where to start? I guess at the beginning and that would be with my bachelorette party since I haven't posted about that yet.
My bachelorette party was on Oct. 7, 2006. It began around 6 or so when Brandy came over toting some KFC for dinner for the both of us. We chowed down and then began getting ready for the night, as we were getting ready Stacie arrived. Shortly after Stcaie AnnMarie and then Melba arrived. Then Cindy popped in and, last but not least, Miriam and Dave (our DD) showed up. Once everyone was there Brandy whipped out the special Holly's Bachelorette Bash t-shirts for everyone to wear. They were awesome! What a great idea. I love(d) them! Unfortunately there weren't enough for everyone because I think one got messed up when the iron-on transfer didn't work? But they were awesome anyway. Brandy also handed out penis straws to everyone and instructed us that we must use them throughout the night or we would be penalized. Haha. I was also given a tiara. After a picture we hopped in the van to head to the first bar.

An Ceili
Our first stop was An Ceili. We were pretty much the only people there so we played ringtoss with the big blow up penis I was given. I named him Chester. I also opened up my bag of goodies which included a glowing penis lollipop, a shotglass ring in the shape of a diamond, a glowing stick-on button that read 'Last fling before the ring,' and fake tattoos. Oh, and a boa for me. We passed out the fake tattoos and noshed on some cannoli and had a drink. Good times. We also sent Dave out to get us candy cigarettes and rolled them up in our sleeves. Yeah, we're nerds.

Miriam liked Chester too.
So did Brandy.
Brandy really liked him.
Bad to the bone.
Then we headed to the next bar.
Broad Street Bar & Grill
We walked into shouts here but of course we were carrying around a huge pink blow-up penis so... yeah. We got drinks, chatted a little and let some drunk guys play ringtoss with Chester. We didn't stay long and soon left Broad Street, however, we ended up taking some drunk guy with us to the next place.
Our drunk guy.
Our next stop was Mickey's.
Mickey's
This place was dead, we went inside and turned right back around and left. There was no one there. BORING. So we piled back into the car with our drunk guy and headed out. Cindy went home at this point because she had to pick up Paige from her mom's because her mom had to preach in the morning.
Next up was the Best Western Grand Victorian Inn Night Train Lounge.
Best Western Grand Victorian Inn Night Train Lounge
This place was full of people. We came in and ran into a bride (and her bridal party), some friends and my mom's co-worker and her husband. Her husband bought all of us a shot. That's when things started getting a little nuts. Somehow we found out that Miriam had a couple of Sharpie markers and decided that it would be a good idea to write quotes from the night on Chester. Well, that transfered very soon into writing quotes from the night on each other's t-shirts and allowing other people, mostly people we didn't know, to write on our t-shirts. The t-shirts were such a great idea. We had an awesome time with them and reading them now is so funny. I was also given a scavenger hunt photo list of people I was supposed to get my picture taken with throughout the night. One of those people was supposed to be a member of a band. Well, it just so happens there was a band playing there that night, so I got a pictures with the band. Chester was named an honorary member. We danced to the band for a little while (They were pretty good!) and the father of the bride from the wedding party that was there asked me to dance with him. Haha.
AnnMarie, Brandy and I use our penis straws.
Very drunk guy tries to write on my shirt and then realizes he neglected to take the cap off the Sharpie.
Miriam and I with the bride and one of her friends, who apparently liked Chester.
With the band. They were The Shakes.
We spent a good deal of time in the Night Train but then move on to Alliger's.
Alliger's
We ran into another bachelorette party at Alliger's and so we hung out with them from a little while. I also played Chester in some pool and of course we had more drinks. The other bachelorette and I also competed in a game of ringtoss.
AnnMarie and I, once again, using the penis straws.
Competitive ringtoss.
Playing pool with Chester.
Brandy and Stacie used their penis straws too.
Brandy once more displays her love of Chester.
Stacie and I. Um.. yeah. Haha. ONe of the fake tattoos was actually a stick and it was a big pair of red sparkly lips. Stacie's bottom lip fell off, so I grabbed the top one and stuck it to her face like a mustache. Haha.
We were all feeling REAL good by this point and left for our final bar.
Roc-n-Doc's
Rocs was awesome. We danced. We ran into people we knew and we made new friends. I had my picture taken for the scavenger hunt with someone from my graduating class, a male member of any WHS class and doing shots with a new friend, among other things. We also ran into one of Stacie and I's co-workers (making him AnnMarie's ex-co-worked. The most probably happened at Rocs. Or the most fun was had anyway but there isn't really much to say about it. We danced, talked, got really drunk and had loads of fun. It was a great damn time.
Artistic smoking by Dave.
AnnMarie and I.
Doing a shot with our new friend Greg. He and his friends ended up buying us four shots in quick succession. Yeah, we were toasted.
Our new friend Greg licks Chester's balls.
My new friend Steve, Greg's friend. I talked with him for quite a while. He was very nice.
AnnMarie, Stacie and I with our co-worker Pat. He was also very drunk.
The epitome of a drunken pictures. You can tell it was taken by a drunk person because my head is half cut off. I have no idea what AnnMarie is doing. Bending over obviously, but I have no idea why, and I am going for the spank. Haha. (And no, she wasn't throwing up. No one threw up that night.)
At the end of the night.
After Rocs closed for the night, we headed home. AnnMarie went back to her boyfriends, which was near the bar, and Dave dropped Stacie, Brandy and I off at my house before he headed home with Miriam. Well, they left after he and Brandy went to Dandy to get pizza and some subs. Haha. We eat, laughed at our drunk selves and by 3:30 a.m. the three of us that were at my house were crashed. I woke up at 7:30 a.m. and Brandy was gone as she wanted to go to church (she's nuts). I let the dogs out and then headed back to bed as I was still tipsy. Stacie and I slept until about 10:30 a.m. and then we were fine. She headed home and I got ready to go up to my mom's house for the party she was throwing for Jeff and Sarah.
I had an awesome bachelorette party. It was such a blast. The only way it could have been better was if Bethanne (and some other friends that couldn't make it ) were there.
