Weekend fun

On Friday during the middle of the day at school I started sneezing, and by that afternoon, I'd come down with the full cold/flu bug. Enter nausea, head and body aches, scratchy throat and runny nose. I pretty much passed out in bed that night, and unfortunately I didn't get much opportunity to sleep it off as I had to be up early the next morning.

On Saturday I went to an engagement party for two of my friends from school and church, Polly and Alex. I was feeling better, but still sick. They had a champagne brunch, but needless to say I steered clear of the alcohol! I think I would have been on the floor if I'd had any, thanks to the combination of sickness and tiredness!

This is how I spent most of it- tissues at the ready!

We did manage to snap one nice photo though- if you don't look at my red nose too much!
Here's Keisha, me, Polly & Claryse at the party.

That night, a younger girl from our church had her 18th birthday party, so we all saw each other again later. The theme for the party was cocktail and black tie, which was lots of fun because it's not often that I get the chance to really dress up! It was great to see everyone in their fancy clothes too.

It was a beautiful night, great weather for a party outside, but I only stayed a few hours because I started to feel feverish and sick again. It seemed a bit of a shame to waste my hair and makeup efforts on just a few hours at a party, but it was still fun to go out and see everyone.

Here are all the people that went from our church- the birthday girl is at the top left.

And then on Sunday... I slept in!
