to be honest, it took all week to get over last saturday night's party where we danced too much, drank too much and partied too much. who the heck in their 40's parties until 4:30 in the morning. us. that's who.
back to our friend d's party - holy moly! what a crazy party! dancing with my besty c the whole night. hanging out with our friends c&b, s&d, r&d....and c&b's kids, r&d's kids, s&b's kids and all of the husbands/wives/boyfriends in between. it was beyond crazy!
we also met up with our friend v who we haven't seen for at least 2 years but were able to re-establish our relationship pretty quick. he's friends with our other friends k&b and b's brother s. and we got to meet k's daughter. she is truly beautiful. and smart.
so now for 2 saturday nights in a row we closed the hall in grand mira. not a good idea. last saturday we went to s&b's cottage after the dance and paid the price. did we learn our lesson? that would be a resounding NO!!!
after this party we all headed back to d&r's...d being who the party was for. it was a jungle. hanging out on d&r's deck, yakking with everyone, having a blast, should NOT have still been drinking! but man did we ever enjoy ourselves! and now for the last 2 days, neither of us have a voice and we have sworn off drinking FOREVER! otherwise known as the next dance!
we didn't get home until 6am!!! ugh - ye gods - HELP! sunday sucked bad as we were really hurting!
today we still were suffering but as it was 29C out - we headed to the river for some river medicine. it worked!
we love hanging out with our friends but 2 weekends in a row??? that's just asking for trouble!
here's our snacks for down at the river.
it was fun taking dips every 20 minutes and helped cleared our heads. it's only 2:00 but we are just not used to that kind of heat and i didn't want us to get sunstroked. after being sick from bug bites for the past 2 months, sunstroke is not what we need!
we need a week of detox and no more parties until september. bahahahahahah! we hope that you all had a nice weekend too!
Sounds like the dance was great. And the river or sea is always a tonic
ReplyDeleteSol - the dance was awesome! what a crazy party! but we really enjoyed ourselves so the pain was worth it! and that river is balm to our souls. thanks hon! xox
DeleteSounds like your (picnic / dipping) solution is a whole lot better than coffee and asprin... :)
ReplyDeleteDon't regret enjoying yourselves - too soon the years pass and those sorts of evenings are just a memory.
Glad you're having so much fun :D
Dani - you got our number for sure. i hate coffee (after drinking 3 pots a day for 28 years) and i don't like aspirin. a dip in the river always provides a clear head.
Deleteand thanks for that Dani. we aren't going to have too many more years of partying like maniacs...so we really should enjoy the times that we can.
we're having a blast buddy - but it hurts - bahahahah! sending much love to you and yours, always! xoxox
You are gluttons for punishment! hahaha But you had a great time with wonderful friends. Those are good memories. :-)
ReplyDeleteoh hobo - gluttons isn't even the word - more like masochists - bahahahah! these memories are going to make for great story-telling for the next 20 years. we'll be boring people's kids with these stories for at least another 50 years - bahahahahaha! xoxo
DeleteDid you kiss any fish? Maybe that's what did it.
ReplyDeletesorry buddy. no fish-kissing. i think i am going to have to rent the hall for a fish-kissing exercise and take pics for you! not a prob buddy! xoxoxox
Deleteamazing that such an isolated place has such a social life. But maybe all small "tribes" are like that. I've been watching the Animal Planet show about people who live on Great Slave Lake, and it seems like although they live fairly independent lives they are always going to parties or throwing parties.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Canadians are descended from Hobbits, since Hobbits always had parties, too.
You two are getting a big old for heavy boozing, aren't you kymber? The hangovers are so much worse and take so much longer to go away!
Harry - there are like 60 people in our 2 villages and that's counting the underaged kids! we don't have a lot of people but we do have community spirit. i've seen it all over little canadian villages - we're a party kind of people. who knows - maybe you're right that we descended from hobbits!!!
Deleteand yes we are getting too old - but heck - while we still can - we have to enjoy it! and deal with the hurt afterwards! sending love buddy! xoxo
Hey kymber,
ReplyDeleteYou need my secret safety method for not getting totally hammered, when I have a partaken of a goodly amount of beer and or rum and port I just quietly fall asleep wherever I happen to be sitting! Mind you if outdoors especially when camping it is a bit disconcerting waking up by a deserted campfire that has burned down to just embers!
Sunstroke on a pleasant 29 C day??!! you have such mild weather up there!
Sgt - thanks for sharing your secret method...do you want me to delete your comment so that no one else learns of your great method? bahahahahah!
Deleteand OMG - we can get sunstroke on a 20C day up here...we're all wimps and are way too used to our snowsuits! xox
Sweet Kymber,
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just need to have all kinds of fun and forget about everything else. Good to hear you had fun two weekends in a row with friends. A dip in cool water will help liven you up :-)
Sending hugs and love to you both,
Sandy
Sweet Sandy - we had a really good time both weekends and so did our friends and i think everyone needed it! we've been having many dips for the past week and it sure has helped! sending you much love, as always! xoxoxo
DeleteI love your sense of adventure and party ability! However it is strange how we are less able to party like its 1999! I love your cure with your water and super snacks!
ReplyDeleteoh Fiona - we used to be able to party like it's 1999 but not anymore!!! that reference was funny! but i think we are hitting the point of going to parties and leaving at 10:30 - bahahahahah! those snacks and the river water saved us for sure!!! we had a great day at the river! xoxox
DeleteSounds like 'Work hard, play hard' to me x
ReplyDeleteKirsty - i think you got it! everyone here works hard and then during the summer we play hard! but heck - it's actually hard to keep up with these people - bahahahah! xox
DeleteAnd I'm the poor sod that has to work until 4.30am dj-ing while all the party animals get more and more drunk whilst I'm sober! :D Then you all flake out and I'm left to take down all my gear and drive home! :D
ReplyDeletekids these days i tell yea, a bunch of crazies.....
ReplyDeleteEverything ok up there? It's not like you to go five days without a post?
