it was a semi-surprise party for clarissa, cynthia's soon to be sister in law. she knew that there was going to be a family bridal shower for her, but didnt' know when it would be. so she was a little shocked, but not too much.
after we had lunch, we played a couple of games and clarissa opened some gifts. she got lots of lingerie! one for every day of the week and VERY see through. haha. it was really cute, she would open the box, look, then put it back in the box quietly. my aunt would yell, take it out! really loudly, and bashfully, clarissa would hold up the slip in front of her dangling the g-string with two fingers. haha.
after the games, i asked my cousin's daughter to be one of parkin and my flower girls. little jo (pictured below) didn't say anything at first, looked at me, turned away, shook her head no, then walked away. my heart dropped to the floor. my cousin said, 'don't worry, i'll talk to her' but later i told her that i didnt' want to pressure her in any way, so we'll see what happens. it did hurt my feelings a bit tho. :(
afterwards, parkin and i went over to my brother's house for dinner. parkin had marinated some flank steaks, (he's like mr.steak guy perfecting his methods) i made a salad and my brother made this awesome zucchini soup. *yuuuuuuuummers*
we went home around 10:45 so that parkin could go home and shower. he was pretty sunburned and sticky from the walk this morning, but as soon as he hopped in the shower, he got a horrible bloody nose! poor thing didnt' wanna get out of the shower because he didnt' wanna drip blood anywhere, and it would not stop. so he stayed in the shower and i cleaned him up, then gave him a wad of tissue to hold against his nose so he could get out.
finally it stopped and we went to bed. i didnt' feel too good going to bed. that's something to talk about another time. i'm pooped tho. what a long but fast weekend. already work tomorrow. *booo*
