In which I attend a garden party that is held indoors. Because it was raining.August 20th, 2008 @ 4:37 pm
First off, it must be said, I am so over The Rain. It’s August. And it’s raining like it’s the end of the world. (Crap, I hope it’s not the end of the world. I do not have sufficient food storage.)
The Highlights from the Garden Party I attended last nigh with the ladies from church:
- The fajitas & grapes (Dude, of course the food is number one.)
- The woman who admitted, during a heated game of “Two Truths and One Lie”, the back story of her “truth”.
- Apparently she had participated in naked cliff diving.
- The friends she was with were upping the ante with each dive and diving off higher and higher cliffs.
- She decided to “up the ante a nipple” and jumped naked.
- Watching as the room full of nice Mormon ladies busted out in laughter will forever be etched in my memory.
- Seriously, she said “up the ante a nipple”.
- That’s comedy gold.
- The looks of confusion on the faces of the nice Mormon ladies when another woman read her list, which included, “has had a Brazilian”.
- I was shocked and horrified that nobody knew what this was.
- I’m half thinking they were just playing dumb.
- It was her “lie”.
- My friend’s husband who graciously offered to watch Babboo so I could attend and The King could get some work done around the new house.
- Just being around fabulous woman made the night extra fabulous.
The Lowlights from the Garden Party:
- Having the woman, who was sitting next to me, inform me that the baby she’s currently pregnant with has a congenital heart defect and might not live after she gives birth to him in a few weeks.
And because I don’t want to close on that note, here’s a video of my second favorite thing (not to be confused with my first favorite thing) about the new house.

Hey, we had girls night last night too! It was awesome. Though no one fessed up to naked anything. So it wasn’t as awesome as yours….

That is one huge shower, a family of four could camp out in there comfortably!

I love that game, I totally suck at it (because I am a HORRIBLE lier (spelling?)) , but I still love it.
Awesome shower!

Dude, you live in Seattle. Isn’t it always raining there?
(But just think — in 2 weeks, you’ll be sunning yourself in Spain.)
I love that there were people who didn’t know what a Brazilian was. Someone has to keep the Mormon stereotypes alive!

I. WANT. YOUR. SHOWER. Seriously, my house is a 1921 house and we don’t even have a master bathroom, much less a Shower ROOM.

That is a great game when you want to get to know people. Then again, I can never remember what the truth is when I leave, so maybe I’ve been spreading lies about people for years. “No, I swear she told me that she went to her high school homecoming dance nude!”
Much safer than playing “I’ve Never” with a bunch of Mormons. That equals a recipe for awkwardness.

I did not expect that voice. Not sure what I expected. Haven’t a clue what I expected.
i have never played two truths and a lie. I think I may be really bad at it. Not so much picking other people’s truths and lies but figuring out what about my life people would think is a truth or lie.

Um, how is it possible that a group of women exist without at least HALF of them knowing what Brazilian is…I am ashamed for them. Yikes!
