Bridal Shower Blabery

Ok, so I never mentioned it before, but today was my Bridal Shower! *crowd cheers and applauds* Which was really cool and I think a very good way to start out my real first blog on Blogspot! For your convenience, I have posted all past blogs from Livejournal, and will henceforth blog on this instead. What do you think of my awesome skin?

Anyways, back to the Bridal Shower. It was thrown for me by my two maid of honors: My baby sister, Shelby, and Amanda. It was pretty awesome. We played 2 games, though my sister and amanda planned for three. The problem was half of the party had to leave to go to a birthday party for a different friend, and Amanda, one of the hosts, had to leave to attend a wedding afterwards too... so we ran a bit short on time. But anyways, first Amanda and Shelby gave us all a list of 20 Anagrams that had to do with love and weddings and gave us 5 minutes to decode them, and I got 12, which was actually rather average as everyone was cheating off of everyone else. Cindy got 13 though so she won. the funniest one was this: ohnomoney---> honeymoon. My aunt recognized the 'ohnomoney' and thought that as a wedding-related anagram, it was awesome; but she didn't get that it was supposed to be honeymoon till near the end of the five minutes.

The second 'game' we played was cool cause I totally aced it! It was called How Well Do You Know Shayna? For this one Shelby and Amanda read a list of questions off and everyone went around and said what they think I would answer, then I said my answer and they got to see how good they did. There wasn't really a prize or anything, but I found it entertaining to see what others thought that I had answered.We only got through 12 of the 20 questions at that game. For the fun of it I'm gonna list the questions that I still remember. Please, if you read this, reply with what you think the answers are... if you leave an email address I'll write back the correct answers:

1. What is Shayna's ideal outfit?

2. What is Shayna's worst quality/characteristic?

3. What is Shayna's favorite game?

4. What is Shayna's best quality/characteristic?

5. What annoys Shayna the most?

6. What is Shayna's favorite day of the week?

7. What is Shayna's favorite movie (not including Harry Potter)?

8. What is Shayna's favorite restaurant?

9. What does Shayna want to name her firstborn girl?

10.What does Shayna do when she is home alone?


Ok! Can't wait to read all your different answers! Anyways, on with info on the Wedding Shower!

So after that game I opened up presents which was extremely odd for me because the only time I get to unwrap presents is during December... and it's still October! Well, anyways a non-complete list of what I got follows. Sorry if I forgot your present, it's not that it wasn't awesome it's just that I'm doing this on my bed with my Macbook and Snuggie and only by my memory, so please forgive me?

1. 2 Blue Snuggies (which are seriously made of awesome!)
2. 20 piece flatware set I had picked out where the stems are circular and have two circles in the design... I'll show them to you at some later point.
3. 1 oversized red indulgence blanket- which is super-soft!
4. 19 knives! - do I need to say more?
5. A Toaster/coffee maker/iron 3-in-one package
6. A Crock pot and a crock pot cook book
7. A tool box w/ hammer and screwdriver set, a nightie, and a cookbook
8. A 40-piece rubberware storage set (which is seriosuly cool cause there's only 3 differently sized lids and the containers are a bunch of different sizes)
9. A Lucky basket containing towels and soaps/lotion/bubblebath!
10. 3 Photo albums for the wedding shower, wedding and honeymoon
11. An AWESOME shower curtain that has a bunch of internet smilies on it
12. A set of kitchen towels/oven mitts/pot holders
13. A Photo frame that is chrome and as a heart cut out of it for the picture to go into

That's all I can remember off the top of my head, but basically it was awesome!

The game we DIDN'T get to play was charades. That was unfortunate as my sister put in a lot of work on that game. She had taken red construction paper (well more like scrapbook paper but whatever, it looked nice) and cut them into heart shapes, and then wrote in silver sharpie a bunch of marriage-related topics/movies that we would have had to act out.. some of them were kind of interesting, like Monster In Law and would have been funny to see acted out. But we ran outta time so.... yea!

Finally we ate cake and punch and took pictures and talked until people had to leave for their next event. Mom had bought me about 15 or so cupcakes which were arranged and frosted to look like a wedding cake. It was really cute, and the cupcakes tasted good too.

Overall, I had a blast! Now however, it is time to get back to planning the wedding and making sure I get everything taken care of in time. Specifically this week, I have to order the invitations and get those sent out probably by next week and if not then then by the week after that.

Which means... if you are reading this and have NOT sent me your address- please do so on facebook! Thanks!


Till next time, DFTBA
