The Rack of the Party

So, I drove down to NJ on Saturday, with the intent of attanding a party of people from the online dating site. I left Saturday morning at about 9:30am and about 7 hours later, arrived at my hotel. That 7 hours does not take into account the time that I spent with my Aunt when I stopped and had lunch with her. That was all driving. Fortunately, my uncle gave me a shortcut which helped cut out a lot of the traffic on the Garden State.

I get to my hotel around 5:45pm and I am checking in when I get the feeling that someone is staring at me, so I turn to look, and sure enough there's Marty. So he is the first person that I got to meet. He is extremely nice and just as funny in person as he is online and in his blog. Then I met a few other people at the hotel, LisaB was one. She is an absolute doll in person.

I went to the party and it was in a huge bar right on the beach, which was really nice. Everyone recognized me immediately and said that I look just like my pictures. I recognized almost everyone from their pictures. Everyone was really nice and very funny. I had a good time.

Unfortunately, I got sick towards the end of the party and got a ride back to my hotel and didn't get to say good-bye to anyone. I was going to go to brunch with everyone in the morning, but I got really sick (sore throat, headache, fever, body aches) (your sympathy is appreciated) and so I just wanted to go home. Fortunately, it only took 4 hours to get home, but I felt awful about not getting to say good-bye.

So, for those of you party goers that read my blog, I truly enjoyed meeting all of you and I will be happy to share my pictures with you, once I figure out what to do with them. Anyway, I do hope that I get to see you all again!! For those of you that I didn't get to meet, I hope to someday (that's you Ms. Trouble).
