Prom 2006

I figured it was about time I showed up to this little space of mine.  To be honest I have been blahhh all week and therefore, I’m blahh in the land of Chasing Elephants.  Sometimes I get bogged down with everything that’s going wrong that I lose sight of all the good in life.  But here I am today, it’s a new day and there are lots of things to be happy for like looking at pictures from Prom 2006.  It is #tbt and Prom season after all and I can’t help at laugh at all of these. 

My prom was actually a disaster and was by no means picturesque.  Okay, so I’m being a little dramatic with saying prom was a “disaster.”  I’ll rephrase it as it wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be. 

Things I remember not being so good….

1.  My hair.  I cried when I left the hair salon because it didn’t look anything like I wanted but because I was already running behind for pictures, I had to suck it up and just hate my hair. Can you say "Mushroom head?"

2.  I was running around, stressing people out because I still needed to put my makeup on but everyone else was ready for pictures.

3.  IIIIIII asked my date to prom.  I never got that moment of a guy asking me.  Womp womp womp.  Nowadays, asking a girl to prom is a bigger deal that flipping proposing.  SMH. 

4.  My date didn’t go to our school because ya know that would be too logical.  So that was fun keeping him entertained. 

5.  Our prom was a Junior Prom instead of a Senior Prom.  Why??

6.  I was awkward.  I wasn’t one of those girls that the guys would run to type.  I’m pretty sure I turned red every time a guy would talk to me.  Can you imagine me trying to pin the boutineer on the dude? Yea,  I was a shaking mess. 

7.  I went to the school after party…LAME.  I remember it being semi okay in the beginning and then it got boring.  I actually think I passed out with a few other friends. 

8.  I had braces.  HELLO awkward smiling.

The good news is I can look back on it now and laugh, still standing by my two best friends.   Not to mention I thought my dress looked pretty damn good!  I don't want you to think it was all bad because it wasn't, I still had a great time with my friends and memories I will have forever.
We went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner because we thought that was the best place ever, not to mention they have the best bread ever.  I may have even taken a loaf or two home with me. Don't judge me.  We stopped at Wegmans (only the best grocery store ever) in our Prom dresses to get gummies in bulk.   We snapped the typical upstate pictures in front of the falls. And the best part was we danced the night away, even though it was a little tricky in a poofy dress.  

Pretty sure we were laughing here because Erin couldn't keep her dress up...

Shaking hot mess right here ^

Give me all your juicy prom stories but only if they are bad! :)
