Just a quick note to say the party went great!!! Michelle can vouch for me that I did in fact have fun. I soooo wanted to dance more, but I did get out there some - just had to hug the wall so no one stepped on/leaned on me. And surprisingly enough I woke up with my ankle hurting LESS than it did when the party started. WOO HOO!

Had a very long, hung-over day... but worth it and fun. And the house is almost clean-ish.

I was proud of myself too. Usually I wimp out and fall asleep early. Last night H passed out in the backyard at about 12:30 while I made it til 4:30! (yes.. A.M.!)

At one point later in the night (Michelle I think you'd left by then?) I broke out my bellydancing coin scarves. I thought it was HILARIOUS how much the guys were into the bellydancing!! Oh no.. not into watching the GIRLS bellydancing... into wearing the coins themselves and learning how to shimmy!! One guy then decided the skirt made a really great "hat" and wrapped it around his head then danced all crazy. The rest of us sat on the patio and laughed for about an hour while he danced with a pink coin scarf on his head (in between posing with him for photos!). I am trying to figure out some way to post video, you really had to be there. I taped part of it for H (he was out cold by this time) and he watched it over and over today going "Ohh man, I missed out!"

We already decided to have a New Year's party, too... H is talking about "we have to start the invites this week so people can plan!" Very cool. I love that he wants to plan stuff ahead. And of course, anyone near Sac is of course invited... Michelle will either encourage you to come or warn you to stay far far away...
