The 80's invasion...

Feeling very seedy today - I'm not sure if it was the 5 cocktails, the copious glasses of wine, the shot of kaluha, or my decision to break my $20 bet of not smoking (justifying it by saying I'm going to Fiji in 2 weeks time and I'll just HAVE to smoke then anyway)........ but I woke up this morning wondering who had shat in my mouth while I was sleeping and then added insult to injury, smacked me over the head!

Anyway, I don't have a drinking problem (hmmm, if I have to clarify that, maybe I do!)....

Hung out with the gals last night, and we ended up back at my place for a few more... Our poor friend Shane who lives up the road got a call at 11:30pm telling him to head on over for drinks on deck - which he was quite happy to accept despite being in bed! I got to that point where the drinks all hit you like a ton of bricks, so wandered off to our guest room for a little power nap - planning to stay there for 5 minutes and "rest my eyes" - until Hunky Hubby came looking for me quite some time later... I was in bed within minutes. Flashbacks of the night include me asking poor Shane where he got his parachute jacket and not so kindly informing him that the 80's are over - he's still speaking to me :o)

This morning Alfie, myself and 2 friends went out to Poachers Pantry for brunch - I managed to use my hang over as a convenient excuse not to be designated driver, enabling me to partake in a hair of the dog cure! Nothing like bubbles to start the day! The food was delicious, and the company even better - we were cacking ourselves about topics such as stirrup pants, remember those? Some of them even had that permanent pleat down the front? Apparently they are making a comeback, one of the girls saw them in the shops the other day! It's bad enough that we participated the first time round, it won't happen again! Although poor Alfie might have to get a pair so she can try out wearing them properly, instead of on the outside of her shoes!

It's been 24 hours of the 80's for me....Which brings me to the belt incident. One of the girls was wearing a dress with a clip together elastic belt, and when I noticed it I started reminiscing about the 2 elastic belts that I had back in the 80's, which were noice, unusual, different... Only to be reprimanded by said belt wearing friend about how she wasn't sure if we would tease her for wearing it.... Am I that much of a bitch? (don't answer that!)
