Oh yes it's ladies night, oh what a night!

OK, I have sucked BAD at updating my blog lately. It's not always easy being on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook AND running a blog. Phew!

But hey, I'm here now and I have something fun to share. This Saturday I hosted a girls night at our place, with seven other lovely ladies attending. For those of you who don't know this about me, I am a planning freak. I almost love planning more than I love actually doing the stuff I plan for (I know, I'm a freak). So my Ladies Night had been carefully planned out for months.

And I wanted it to be more than just sitting around sipping wine and talking about stuff (not that I don't appreciate just doing that). So, when I sent out the invitation, I asked the girls if they had a special party trick, a fun game or something else that they wanted to bring to the party. An activity for us all, if you will.

My friend L, who is the girl I have known longest in the bunch, is a sommelier (which basically means she knows everything there is to know about wine). She brought four (!) bottles of champagne (the real stuff, not just sparkling wine) and we had a real wine tasting. It was so cool and she really does know everything there is to know about this stuff. We were all curled up around her in a circle, listening like she was Santa telling a story on Christmas Eve.

Champagne, as you might know, tends to make you giggly and happy. But thankfully, not that hungover the next day (awesome!). So the mood was through the roof all night.

I treated my guests to snacks and a drink and arranged for two activities. The first one was a pop quiz about all kinds of famous women (I slipped a little feminism in there too, hehehe). The girl who got the most correct answers (which was E2), won "The Girlie Bag", which was a pink gift bag that I filled with: a pink, plastic cocktail glass, a lipgloss, a mirror, a perfume, an eyemask, candy, bath bubbles in a container shaped like lips and of course, chocolate.

My second activity was a pre-maid "Truth or Dare" game, that my best friend Em and I prepared months ago (like I said - I like the planning). This was very much appreciated mainly because of two factors; 1) it meant that the girls got to know eachother better (most of them had never met before) and 2) it made them feel like seventeen again.

Among other hilarious things, we all took turns making goofy dance moves, pretending to cry or die dramatically, shaking our booties and burping, Barney style.

It's fun being silly.

After a couple of bottles of wine, me and Em were asked to put on a show using my X-pole. So, we showed them some tricks and played around for a while. Some girls wanted to try a spinn, but others asked to come back and try it sober (smart ladies, my friends).

We also ate pizza, talked about EVERYTHING and wrote fun stuff in my "Pink Guestbook".

I think it was 3.30 AM when I went to sleep.

Such an awesome night.
