The Sunday After…Plan it TONIGHT!

Well, it’s officially here. Homecoming 2007 takes place in my ‘hood this weekend. I can hardly wait to stalk all the great restaurants, ogling dresses and sizing up hairdos. And the guys – what are they going to be wearing? Ooh, the thrill of it all makes me tingle (just tell me you’re not going to Hooters for dinner, okay? Okay?)

So tonight’s all about the game and tomorrow’s all about the nail salon, frantic searches for Band-aids (for those blisters you’re sure to get while shakin’ your groove thang) and enough hair spray to seal a wooden deck from the elements. Fun!

But then there’s Sunday. I always thought of it as my Day of Let-down. After all the excitement and hoopla of the preparation, the dinner, the dance and the after-party, Sunday seemed like such a bore. What was there to look forward to now?

So here’s an idea to get you out of the Sunday Slump: how ’bout you grab The Gurlz and get together for a Picture Party? Have everyone bring their digitals to view all those candid shots and relive the night. If you took a disposable camera to the dance, run it over to the 1-hour developer and grab some Taco Bell while you’re waiting. You can totally do this with your guy too, but it’s much more fun gossiping about the other Betty’s dresses with…other Betties. For some oddball reason, guys just don’t seem to get into that quite as much. Plus, they’ll be watching football. Bleh.

My thoughts: if you can tolerate it, leave all the schlack and hair accessories in your ‘do overnight so you can take even more pics at your party. Nah, don’t wear your dress, too, if that’s what you were thinking. Your Old Navy sweats will do just fine.

Sound like fun? Hey, take some pics (Photoshop some black over your eyes if you want) and email them to me at the addy that pops up when you click my name. I’d love to feature you and your friends.

Have a great time and make it the night of a lifetime!
