Mamma Mia - I'm Getting Old!

My birthday isn't until tomorrow but my awesome friends threw me a great party this past Friday night. The theme was Mamma Mia, as in the musical. I've seen the live musical in Las Vegas as well as the movie. The live musical was much better than the movie but that's beside the point. After seeing the shows it is my dream to one day perform in a production of Mamma Mia...which will probably never happen since I really have no acting skills, although my friends and family tell me I'm quite dramatic at times. Well, I kind of got to live that dream at my party. Bethany and Kathy had written a script (which was quite hilarious) and Dorian recorded the soundtrack to sing along with. I didn't really know the plans beforehand (except for one accidental e-mail Bethany sent me!) except that I was supposed to dress up in 70's style. I did the long, straight blond wig, fake eyelashes, huge hoop earrings, pink sparkle glasses and feather boa's attached to the bottom of my bell-bottomed pants. I felt a little silly when I got to the party and was a bit over dressed compared to the others. I whined enough though that Dorian went home and changed into his 70's garb. We had a lot of fun and it took my mind off the fact that I really am getting old! Thanks guys!

Fun pictures. Sometimes it is sitting down and reading you blog that I get the whole story because when you are telling me I get distracted. So thanks for writing it down. It is part of your history as you get "older". Fun pictures of all of you and your friends. It does look like it was a fun party.
