another one bites the dust

i survived another murder mystery on saturday night!! (read here for details on the last event). rosie's "tea room" was jumping!! you literally had to have "the password" to get in to this speakeasy!!

this event was a ton of fun - you've never seen this many flappers in one place!! sadly, i was too busy toting around my "juice joint waitress" tray to take any photos. but you might recognize "timmy flannagan the doorman".




and a quick photo i snapped of my "candy girl" outfit (i steadfastly refused to be called a "cigarette girl', so i offered Charleston Chews and Sugar Babies instead). sadly, i had already taken off my pillbox hat. my sister, jen (you know, the one who perfected using all 24 hours in day) *whipped up* four identical outfits for us!



and look at the adorable nametags she made for everyone, using a round deck of cards she picked up at Michael's:




did you know that "eleanor" was the 29th most popular girls name of the 1920s??

have you been to any fun parties lately?

whodunnit?!?

i'm here!! i'm back!! the kiddies are in school and i am ready to get my life back together!! to celebrate the return to normal, we went to a tremendously fun murder mystery party on saturday night. it was a fundraiser for our playground project. this is the second murder mystery party i've been to this year (i actually have a post sitting in my draft folder about the first one...)

we were back in "1985" for a "class reunion." it was just like old times for me! in fact, when i walked into the party, all of my family said "wow. you look exactly like you looked every. single. day. of senior year!!"

(i'm not convinced that's a compliment...)



matty won a prize for "best dressed!" he even managed to keep the wig on all night! click here for more pictures, and to read about our TOTALLY TUBULAR party!!
