Reverb10: Party
December 9 - Party Prompt: Party. What social gathering rocked your socks off in 2010? Describe the people, music, food, drink, clothes, shenanigans. (Author: Shauna Reid)
I don't like socks. I don't wear them unless absolutely necessary, which means it must be absolutely freezing and I really need to go out and oh yeah when I do decide to exercise. I am a slippers kind of girl. So the party that knocked my slippers off was the big party before baby's arrival. Some might label it a "baby shower" but we didn't do a baby shower. We didn't do any funny games that measure my huge waist at the time, nor did we do games of figuring out what is in the smelly diaper. It was a party where we invited many good friends to come and hang out with us in leisure before our lives become consumed with baby and her interests.
N took care of everything! All I did was create the invitation e-card & show up all dressed up! I was all dressed in a salwar kameez that mom had picked out and got it tailored for maternity wear and sent it along with N when he was in India in Dec before (pic below). Mom and I have very different fashion tastes and it was one of the first times where I really loved what she picked out! That weekend we had an out-of-town visitor and thanks to her N had help decorating the place up and getting things done! We owe her one! We actually relearned how to make colourful streamers! I think the last time I did was at high school dance party!!
I forget what food we had. As you see it was all gobbled up and no evidence was left behind for me to decipher (photo was taken after the party). Maybe someone who came remembers! I think some samosas were involved.
Our home was filled with so many positive vibes that night with so many fun people! Maybe one of these days we will have another knocking-slippers-off-party again!
