The day started out for me fairly early. I woke up around 8-ish in the morning, had some breakfast, and started sewing. I got both Fred and Speedboy's kilts pleated. Then had a nap, and it was about that time that Speedboy returned from school (Yup - took almost 6 hours to completely sew the things. OMG!).
I got the first text message regarding the engagement party around 4-ish, and then a call. The plans were fairly secret, and we were expected to arrive at the Mandarin Palace around 7:45 that evening.
So, as soon as Fred got home, I threw him into the shower. Meanwhile, I decided, since we were getting taken to dinner, I could make a nice dinner for Speedboy. So, I threw together baked chicken, noodles and green beans for him.
One of the more interesting stipulations of the party was that we had to bring all of our "toys" with us... Fred packed them all up in a large file box, and covered it with a towel, and we headed out the door.
We met Vlad outside at his car so we could keep the toys there since, as Fred said "I'm not walking into the bar with a box full of gently-used sex toys." We stored it in the trunk, then waited (as we were a bit early) until the all clear was given by Mishu to go in.
She'd gotten our favorite KJ to come join the party and spin for us all evening long, and had the front portion of the bar cornered with our stuff. Vlad kept me hydrated with virgin Mai Tai's all evening, and we sang lots of songs and generally had a great time.
The highlight of the evening was afterwards (at least, for me). We were escorted out of the bar and put into Vlad's car, where we drove to a nearby hotel, where they'd rented a room for us.
We were given the key and told where it was, and sent on our way with our box of sex toys to toddle down the walkway. When we opened the room, we were stunned.
Candles were everywhere, lit, as were rosepetals, strewn all over. There were hershey's kisses and 3 muskateer bites, and a vase of roses and baby's breath. On the table were two champagne flutes and a sand pail filled with cold water (I'm sure it had been ice at first), holding a bottle of Martinelli's sparkling cider.
Fred was absolutely stunned. I couldn't stop giggling. It was grand. We immediately stripped and revelled in the fact that we could run around naked and not worry about anyone walking in. Ah, privacy - we're getting it now while we can. LOL.
After about an hour or so, we ended up in bed (nice, cushy, pillow-top mattress), and I was thoroughly pounced. So much so that, apparently the neighbors took offense and called the front desk to complain. *chuckle* A half-hour after we were done, they phone rang and the complaint came through. We apologised and said we were done, then fell asleep.
We were picked up this morning by Mishu, and taken back home. Fred now has a great top hat to model his leather one after, and I still have my cute little princess crown with the veil on it.
We had a grand time, and I don't think I will ever forget it.

I'm sorry I missed it, hon. Between it being my birthday, and the wacky schedule they've had me on at work, I couldn't get it all straightened out. *hugs*
