<p>Wow, how did I miss this? Sorry I couldn’t be there encouraging you earlier, but of course, you managed to work things out wonderfully. Hope the girls had (are having? – how late does this thing go?) a great time! I wanna see the pics!</p>
<p>berurah-
I read these posts backwards (from the most recent back) so I didn’t see that you were referring to s’s gf as “s”. So when I started reading that “s” was in a strapless blue number and had an escort… I had to take a double take!! :eek: ROFL!! And I haven’t even tapped into the gallon and a half of rum that someone tried to sneak into our after-prom party (though the thought has crossed my mind…)</p>
<p>^^<strong><em>ROFL</em></strong> jym!!! I thought of that too, but I figured that SURELY there wouldn’t be ANYONE who’d read the thread BACKWARDS!! 
:)</p>
<p>Pass some of that rum THIS way…ok?? :)</p>
<p>I don’t think you want this rum… cheapo stuff. However, I just snared 2 water bottles with some unidentifiable non-water libation in them. Want to taste them for me and let me know what it is?? ;)</p>
<p>^^Sure!!! After this week, I’m definitely up for that! 
Wow…you really ARE the ATF tonight!! Note to self: NEVER HOST AN AFTERPROM…instead, send 'em to jym’s!!! :D</p>
<p>NO THANKS Berurah! Once is enough. I also had s get the bedroom down there opened and unlocked. Oh-- they were just sleeping… yeah, right…</p>
<p>Oh, I want to see the pictures! My daughter’s prom is very late this year–first weekend of June, followed by graduation the very next weekend.<br>
I spent all day yesterday making my garden beautiful in preparation (welll, potentially beautiful, after everything has seven-eight weeks of growth), and our next mission is to find or make the perfect prom dress.</p>
<p>So glad your daughter felt good enough to go, and the comment about it someday making a good story is so true.</p>
<p>I know I am new but I would love to see the pictures. Our D’s is not for a few more weeks and we still have not found THE dress.</p>
<p>Happy to hear all went well, B!</p>
<p>jym…wow, impressive finds for the home policia!! Although it does make you wonder how much you missed!? Kids.</p>
<p>Berurah, you’re kids and their friends are amazing! I’m sure your son and his girlfriend were very disappointed that he couldn’t make the prom, but they really made the best of it. What a great friend to step in at the last minute to escort his girlfriend to the prom. And your poor daughter suffering with the flu. I can’t even imagine how she was able to pick herself up to go out, but it sounds like she was able to have a good time despite being sick. Between the dismal weather and illness, this prom could have been a bust, but everyone pulled together to make an enjoyable and memorable evening. Now how long is it until your next kiddo’s prom? ;)</p>
<p>
NOT LONG ENOUGH!!! :eek: (1 year <em>ROFL</em>) </p>
<p>Thanks for the kind words, sweetie! :)</p>
<p>Hi B!</p>
<p>Glad to hear everything turned out great…Not that I doubted it! I would love to see some pictures!</p>
<p>Hi Berurah!</p>
<p>I just saw this thread and am so glad that everything turned out better than you expected. Flu, slush AND cancelled flights all at once really create a challenge but it sounded like y’all kept your senses of humor. I’d love to see the pics too. I remember that your D’s pics from last year were simply gorgeous.
I thought about you when my D and I were out shopping last week, because she found the perfect prom dress at a GREAT price. It was at a going out of business sale at one of the little boutiques, and she ended up with a $350 dress for $87! YESSS!</p>
<p>berurah~Sooooooooooooo happy that it turned out so well!! Would love to see some of the pics, and also those that you will take of PromII, when that happens!!! </p>
<p>Of everyone on CC you are always the most upbeat about a bad situation, finding a way to make lemonade out of lemons, to find the open window when the door is closed… Your kids and H are sooooooooo lucky!!!</p>
<p>Thank you for the link to the pictures. The girls looked gorgeous and their gowns were lovely. One would never guess your daughter was ill. And such handsome boys. I hope they all had a wonderful time.</p>
<p>B,
so glad that everything went well. I echo what irish said above…you are one of the most positive people here, and always so encouraging to others. I would love to see pictures too, pretty please.</p>
<p>Handsome boys? You should see the one that got stuck in Durham!!</p>
<p>Berurah, Yes, pictures please here as well!!! I’m so glad to hear that your D was able to go to go last night and that “S” ( haha knew someone would get confused about that - like jym I often read threads backwards too! ) found a great escort.</p>
<p>Berurah, hope you’re not tired of PMing the link to the photos - I’d love to see them,too! I’m so glad things turned out well. :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the update. Would love link.
LA</p>
