I learned how to Line Dance...

This weekend was my best friends 30th birthday. There were about 20 of us who went up to Maine to the lake house. No, not the movie with Sandra Bullock, but my friend Aimee's parents house, which is on Moose Pond in Denmark, Maine. Her parents actually have 2 houses. One on a lake and the other one is an actual farm house, with... you guessed it, I farm! The party started on Saturday late morning, early afternoon. My friend Todd and I were the first one's to arrive at around 11:30 am. We sat on the dock until Aimee's cousin's arrived about 30 minutes later. We had cold cut sandwich lunches and hung out since it was raining ALL day and most of the night. At around 4:30, we got into our cars and drove 15 minutes to the farm house, where Aimee's parents, Aunt, sister and brother had turned one of the rooms into a southern theme. They had hung cowboy hats and handkerchiefs on the wall and put up white christmas lights. in the center of the ceiling was a "Woody" pinata. Get your minds out of the gutter people, this was the Woody character from Toy Story. They had all kinds of snacks out... everything from chips and salsa, to dorito's, pretzels and potato chips. At around 5:45, dinner was ready to be served, buffet stylle. Aimee's parents went all out and made several tasty dishes!! They made steak tips and sausages for the meat eaters, and they made a green bean casserole, a really good Campbell's recipe and macaroni & cheese for the vegetarians, which would be me and the birthday girl. It was reallly good!! After dinner, we had birthday cake, and then at about 6:30, we look up to see an older couple who Aimee's parents had hired to come to the farm house and teach us to line dance! We danced for about 2 hours and had the best time ever! Who knew line, merenge, and salsa dancing could be so much fun!? After learning to dance, Aimee broke out the goldschlager and the party was finally started! 1:30am came around and it was time to pass out. I know, not very late, but c'mon, 2 hours of line dancing can really wipe you out!

We woke up this morning around 9:30 and cleaned up. About an hour later, we all drove back to the lake house and had breakfast which Aimee's mother had made for everyone. A few hours had passed by and it was already time to have lunch! Hamburgers and veggie burgers - perfect end to a perfect weekend. Unfortunately, we are now back home, and it's almost time to go to bed. It's so unfair that the weekends are so short, yet the weeks are so long! Till then... See you all on Monday!
