Susie's Bridal Shower

Yesterday was Susie's bridal shower and it's been an extremely LONG day. I got to Susie's house at night and we spent the night cleaning up her apartment and finding recipes for the brunch the next day. When the alarm went off at 5:00am, I couldn't get her ass to get up, so when she finally got up around 8:00am we had to rush with a bunch of errands before the guests got there. That was complete chaos. We had to stop by Ralphs, get strawberries, get bridal shower favors and when we got back we had about 2 hours left to put everything together. Let me tell you I have never chopped, peeled, grated, whipped and cooked THAT fast in my whole life. Anyway, Karen was the first to come and set up candles for the candle party (she's a rep for party lite). Then Linda and the rest of the people came. We ate and lounged around for a while and opened shower gifts, then Linda, Karen, and I decided to go over to Macy's to do some shopping because we still had a bit of time but we were late to come back to Susie's when the line for checkout took forever. We had an appointment at Burke Williams Spa at 3:30pm and it was already 3:00pm. So we speeded back over there and picked everyone up in the Rover and we rushed over to the spa.

The Burke Williams spa was at the Block of Orange and it was the first time I had been to that particular one. We all had appointments to get massages but Julia made sure beforehand to tell the spa "I want your hottest masseuse...and I mean HOTTEST". While waiting in the waiting room someone came in to get Susie...and when Susie left that's when Julie said "Oh my f*cking god...is that the masseuse!?? Susie is going to kill me!!" Fortunately, the guy who came in for Susie WAS NOT the masseuse....that was relief...haha...We soaked in the hot tub while each one of us were called in for our massage and jesus christ I went into the massage with like ten knots in my back and about an hour later I came out with NONE.

After the spa we went to El Torito to eat then Dave & Buster's for drinks. Mind you, I don't drink, not can I drink, but I still got in some how. Guess it's because we all look similar. It's either some people looked young or I looked old. Either way we got in and had tons of fun. It was karaoke night and Linda & Claudia got up on stage piss ass drunk and started grinding each other to the song "Walk Like an Egyptian" while the rest of us pretended like we didn't know them until the guys sitting at the table next to us announced we were a bachelorette party on the mic so we had to sing and dance because we were all in the spotlight. Damn! Afterwards, Susie and Linda decided they wanted to go to a club nearby so we started heading over there except we didn't really know where it was so we got lost and Linda's navigation system was being dumb, but we eventually found it. To our surprise it was a teeny bopper club so we decided to call it a night. What a fun but tiring weekend. Now I need to take a nap or something because I need to go stop by work in about an hour...
