karmen's birthday

karmen is a fellow ALT. she's from slovenia, and she's enduring her second year as well. i don't see her too often; however, it was her birthday recently, which called for a party!

she wanted a dress-up, closed affair at one of our favorite bars in town, nicks. so, for a set price, we could drink and eat as much as we wanted. scurrying around and getting fancy, tiff and i made it to the party as soon as possible. carrie works at the same school as karmen, so she helped karmen organize the event and had gone early to the party to give a hand.

it was fun to get schmancied up for an evening and dance to good songs a dj puts out all the while sipping (ok ok ok, you got me - pounding - just kidding . . . . . . kind of) all-you-can-drink libations.

i thought it was cute of carrie yawning ... it was late after many hours of being schmancy. i don't think she was aware of me taking the picture

i have a picture of us teaching the older japanese teachers that attended the party the macarena dance. unfortunately it doesn't properly show what we're demonstrating; it's not a very good shot. maybe it was after much, um . . . . . . . sipping, screwdrivers, my drink of choice.

astoundingly, i didn't get any shots of the birthday girl. . . well, happy birthday karmen and here's cheers to you!
