After my delicious shower hosted by my friends Amanda and Marianne, I went directly to my bachelorette party, hosted by my supremely creative future sister-in-law, Katie. Katie rented out a hotel room in San Francisco for us and had all kinds of fun things planned.

First on the agenda? Changing my outfit. Katie gave me a bag full of stuff. The first thing I pulled out was a shirt with a picture of Mr. Cream Puff on it. It’s probably the world’s weirdest photo of him. He’s wearing a cowboy hat with a dead rattlesnake on it– some weird guy in a Dim Sum restaurant let him try it on, and he made a really weird face and made me take a picture of him. But alas, I digress.

Also included was a pink “bachelorette” tiara and a veil that Sarah helped me put on, and a pink flashy ring.

I felt very pretty (haha!). It turned out that I was wearing all white! How bridal!

Kathy and I drinking a delicious drink. I am not much of a drinker, so the idea of going out and touring a bunch of bars didn’t really appeal to me. Luckily, Katie knows me pretty well and didn’t plan something like that. There were no strippers, which also aren’t my cup of tea. Instead, she had a bunch of really fun and creative games for us.

The first game Katie planned involved underwear. She had everyone at the party bring a pair of panties, and I had to guess who brought which pair:

It was actually pretty difficult! In the end, I think I got, like, TWO right (haha).

After the panties game, it was time for more food. Everyone knows how much I love sweet things! There was chocolate and cookies!

Last week we suffered from a crazy heat wave here in California. Unfortunately the heat seriously affects children, the elderly, and…penis cupcakes:

Some of them looked as beautiful as they did right after being frosted and hair-ified, and some of them did not. They all TASTED delicious, though. FSIL Puff is obviously a very talented baker!

After the penis cupcakes, Katie announced that we were going out on the town for a bachelorette photo scavenger hunt. We had a list of a bunch of things we had to take pictures of, and we split into two teams. Below are some of my team’s successes:

At one point, we went into a bar to get a “big group picture,” when a guy in the bar made me sit at a piano that was surrounded by a bunch of people. The guy playing the piano had a microphone, and he started asking me all kinds of questions. We left after one of the (nasty) guys asked me to jump on the piano and take my shirt off. Joy. I love Marianne for quickly and effectively getting me out of that situation!

When we got back to the hotel, there were still more fun activities to be had! Katie put me in the bathroom with a blindfold on. She led me out to the main room and sat me in a chair. When my blindfold was removed, I was the only member of the audience for an amazing and shocking fashion show: Tacky bridesmaids.

They modeled some of the world’s most INSANE dresses, I kid you not.

Left to right, some of the best: Katie, Sarah, Julie and Kathy.

Me with all mah hot ladies (except for Marianne, who I am beginning to notice is in hardly any pictures because she’s always behind the camera!). Julie, June, Sarah, Katherine, Katie, Marion, Kathy and Amanda and me. I’m the one in the tiara.

It was a REALLY fun night. Afterwards, we had a slumber party in the hotel room. Thanks, Katie! I couldn’t imagine having a more fun bachelorette party.
