We are just Party animals!!!

I'm tooooooo tired to write. The 3rd Cocktail Party was last night and I've had THREE hours of sleep. But I just HAVE to write about it, how much fun it was and how amazing you all looked! I just HAVE to!!!

This is what happened. A bunch of my WoWettes met early for dinner at BJs before the Party. I had decided not to "work" at this Party but to just mix and mingle and dance and have fun, so the dinner was the time to tell the ladies, the greeters and name tagers, how to do their job. How tough is that, put out your hand, smile a big smile, and say welcome to the Party and then direct them to stop at the table with the ladies making the name tags. But get a group of us "girls" together for dinner and we're just going to laugh and giggle so hard that it's going to be tough to eat the meal! One of the ladies is usually too busy to go out, one is new to Wow, one is usually too shy to go to these Parties, one is just finding out her fabulousness after a long divorce - those were my volunteers and they were fun and funny and wonderful.

So, on to the Party where the Hilton guys had set us the tables with candles and tablecloths and where one of the bartenders greeted me saying I looked "more beautiful than ever." And it gets better! The Party crowd started to arrive, the band Felonius Funk started to play, my volunteer greeters and name-taggers did their tasks happily, and it was a Party! You all looked fabulous, the guys took a little bit of time getting up their courage to dance, and after a while you all just couldn't stop! What fun is this? Oh, did I mention the most deserving Wowette met the cutest guy in the room who clearly was smitten with her. Isn't he smart! Just as I was not going to work at this Party, I insisted that my very best helper Rookie (who does her own fabulously fabulous singles events at http://www.supersinglemixers.com/) take the night off to play, but she spent most of her time escorting you gorgeous ladies around to room to meet you handsome guys! And then she and I shared one little tiny bit of wine and, three sips later, got tipsy!!! I'm soooo not kidding! But I was determined that we just have fun and let the work go to the volunteers and we just danced and laughed and danced. Did I say that the coolest guy (oh, does he look good in a suit!) came to the Party just to dance with ME?!?!?

To all of you who asked me if I will do this again? Let me think. Do I want to spend another night listening to great music, surrounded by fabulous singles my age who kiss me and hug me and look like they're having the time of their lives, and dance until I drop? Yes! Let me get some sleep first, please, and we will Party once more! Until then, let the picture do the talking!

The band played 70's grooves and like ants to a piece of peach pie the dance floor filled with gyrating bodies, flaying hands and arms, which caused a few accidental bumps as those turning torsos touched each other. Smokin!
Great fun, and a great lady who put it together. I enjoyed the series of moments linked together that weaved a thread of friendship for many throughout the night.
Ain't nothin' better than to dance the night away. Shall we?
