Chiquita on Prom

I woke up at around ten, crawled out of bed and hopped in the shower. I'd talked to my hair dresser the evening before, and she'd told me to put gel in my hair when I got out of the shower, so I did that. Then my mom and I went to the bank, then we went to visit my nephews for an hour before we went to my hair appointment. Haley and I made appointments at the same time and same place so we could go together. My hair was perfect. I had her do it up, slicked by like a ballerina, then the back was in a bun with a bunch of small curls, and a braid around the bun. It was exactly like I had imagined it. I left before Haley's hair was all the way done because I had to run home to get ready to go for pictures at NoelRidge. Cory picked me up at my house and we rode together to the park. Gary and Beth and their families were already there when we got there. My dad took pictures of just the two of us until Shelby and Jason arrived, then we did all the group pictures. We filled two rolls of film. That's a lot of pictures. After that we went to Kennedy. We were pretty early for Grand March, so we used the extra time to get the posed pictures out of the way. Then we went and got in line for Grand March. Shelby and Jason weren't doing it because they had too many people to go see before dinner. We saved a spot for Gary and Beth and when they got there Beth and I went off to socialize while the guys held our place in line. Eventually it was our turn to walk. I had to tell Joey how to pronounce both of our names so he wouldn't mess it up. I only slipped a little when i first stepped onto the Grand March stage, but I don't think anyone noticed. After that we watched a few people go through, then we went out into the foyer by the gym to take pictures. I took a few on Cory's camera, then I had Jackie take the camera to take a picture of Haley and I. She dropped it and it broke. So I had to go over and tell Cory that I broke his camera. I'm getting him a new one. After that we went to dinner at Olive Garden. Our waiter was super cool and the food was great. After that we went to Jason and Shelby's apartment to hang out for a bit before the dance. When it was time we went to Elmcrest and danced the night away. It was really fun. After that Cory and I went to his house so he could shower and we could both change out of our nice clothes. Then we went to post prom, which was a blast of course. The hypnotist was really funny. I think the best part was when Patrick was made to think he had his shirt on inside out every time someone said car keys. After that we all went home and passed out because we were all exhausted! The next day I had to work at 2, and I didnt get up until one. I made it to work at 2:01. I thought that was pretty slick.

This was probably the best song of the night!
