SADIES 2.0

I just realized I never gave you guys an update about my Sadies situation! I know the dance was fortnight ago (I love that word) but I'll fill you in anyway.
A) I FOUND A DATE! I asked on of my friends who I knew would mesh well with the group. I thought he had already been asked by another girl in our group, and then it turned out he hadn't, and so I asked him. We totally just went as friends, but I was still glad I had the balls to actually ask someone.
B) My dress was super cute. I borrowed it from my cousin, and it was black with one strap and a BIG bow. I loved it. Plus, I bought these really tall black patent leather pumps :)
C) PLANNING. Okay, so I was planning the whole group thing with one of my good friends and we were going to eat at Buca. Because we were such a big group, we had to pay in advance. We were asking for money by Friday, and on that Thursday we only had ONE person pay! AH. It was really stress-inducing.
Also, a couple asked to join our group on the Wednesday before the Saturday night dance. ACK! It ended up working out, but people were just adding on like crazy and we ended up with 33 people. It was nuts.
D) Dinner was a lot of fun. I wish it could have lasted longer because there were a lot of fun peeps in our group that I would like to have chatted with longer. Either way, the food was de-lish. Anyway, then we got to the dance. We knew there probably wouldn't be a ton of people there, what with the whole grinding policy issue last year, but man, was it lame. Seriously, there was hardly anybody there. It was kind of awkward, so we went and hung out at the casino, which I found to be extremely boring. Eventually, we made our way to the dance floor and just danced like dorks and ended up having a ton of fun. That is just the way you've gotta do it! We're thinking if we do a repeat next year, however, we won't actually go to the dance but get dressed up and go out to dinner and have a DP at someones house because that is WAY less awkward. Anyway, that's all I've got folks :)
