bacheloretteness!

in meals

i am going to apologize right now and tell you that i am sorry i can’t ramble on with lots of witty commentary about my weekend.

there is just no time! i am seriously strapped for time.. let’s see:

  • monday night: blog, gym, pack
  • tuesday: work, pack, gym, get nails filled
  • wedneday: work, move to my new house!
  • thursday: work, dinner, minus the bear show!
  • friday: tan, costco, prepare food, rehearsal dinner
  • saturday: breakfast, pedicure, makeup, hair, photos, wedding ceremony!, reception
  • sunday: PEACE OUT TO MEXICO!

see? no time.

but i did want to give you a little recap of saturday, my bachelorette party day!

it all started with kristen taking me out to lunch at the wild grape.

i had never eaten at the wild grape, but i’d heard awesome things AND my roommate works there.  the menu was full of so many brunch options, it was hard to pick!

IMG_8049

i narrowed it down to the black forest omelet: ham, mushrooms, caramelized onions & gouda. served with house potatoes & a biscuit.

IMG_8054

yowza! this was quite possibly the best omelet that has ever entered my mouth. i am not exaggerating, it was just that good! caramelized onions and melty gouda were M.F.E.O.!

kristen is the biggest babe on the planet and surprised me with this awesome owl coffee mug..

IMG_8057

i love owls, i love coffee! perfection in a mug!

IMG_8059

she also had another surprise up her sleeve.. i found this out when she dropped me off here:

IMG_8084

and said, “see ya in a few hours!”

the kura door is a holistic japanese spa.  they gave me a tour of the spa, let me change into my robe, and told me to relax until my appointment.

IMG_8064 IMG_8074IMG_8061 IMG_8067 IMG_8072

i enjoyed some lemon water and had a nice, long sit in the sauna.

IMG_8077

kristen had booked the traditional javanese lulur body ritual for my appointment. WOW. this was insanely amazing! it started off with a massage and a facial, then a yogurt scrub, then i was wrapped up like a burrito, then i took a shower. then a bath. and then i got the best massage ever! it was pure bliss the whole time. thank you, kristen!!

i was thinking that if i was rich and/or a celebrity, i would get this treatment every day. no doubt about it.

after the glorious day at the spa, kristen picked me up and we went to the hotel where we got ready for the night.

i had my white houndstooth dress all ready to go! i’ve been dying to wear it!

IMG_8095

the girls made sure to decorate the room super cute (with purple! not pink, i hate pink.) and i was fully equipped with a feather boa, a penis headband AND penis wand. yes.

IMG_8129IMG_8102 IMG_8086 IMG_8100 IMG_8101

there were snacks, too! all my favorites. sun dried tomato hummus, pita chips, food should taste good chips, veggies & greek yogurt ranch dip. so thoughtful! i have no idea where the photos of all that stuff went..

once everyone arrived, it was time to open gifts. they ranged from sexy to kinky and they were all fabulous. i have the best friends! thanks everyone!

penis shaped egg fryer!

IMG_8149 IMG_8156 IMG_8160 IMG_8171

after gifts, the limo picked us up to go to dinner.

IMG_8182

woooo! bubbly in the limo!

IMG_8185

IMG_8190

we went to a wine bar called moxi, we ordered small plates.

IMG_8237 IMG_8284 IMG_8265 IMG_8279 IMG_8271 IMG_8268

after dinner it was back to the hotel for a bit, then we decided to head out to the bars.

first we went to the circle lounge and i remembered why i don’t go there. D bags all over the place.

IMG_3444

we walked down the road to a bar that is a little more up my alley, the jackalope. it is a dive bar.. i hate those fancy ritzy bars and clubs. i am all about the dives. we ended up seeing a bunch of our friends, so that was perfect!

IMG_3484

the night ended with some of the girls pushing one of the girls back to the hotel in a shopping cart.

no more saturdays as a single lady! eep!

well, i have LOTS to do. hope you enjoyed the recap and i will try to check in again soon :)

no Qs today. sorry!

Oh my gosh time is winding down! I can’t believe how close you are! Breathe!!

Maggie July 12, 2010 at 5:48 pm

Ahhh so much fun!!! I can’t believe your wedding is this weekend. Time goes SO fast!! Good luck with everything this week!

Lauren July 12, 2010 at 5:50 pm

Ahhh, it’s the final week!!!!! Best week of your life but also the most stressful. Just remember how amazing Saturday is going to be and even better…your honeymoon is waiting after it all! :)

Oh wow, what a perfect Bachelorette Party! Your girls really know how to throw a party. I love that you all dressed a like. So cute!

“All the single ladies!” Haha, so glad you enjoyed your night! :)

simplyshaka July 12, 2010 at 5:55 pm

Holy crap, that looks like such a fun time!!! I am loving the penis headband–I need to get one of those and just wear out to happy hour, I am sure it would be a conversation starter. I’m singing “Purple Penis Eater” to the tune of “Purple People Eater”

Kudos to you for blogging with all this madness going on! Go get some sleep soon :)

Laura @ Starloz July 12, 2010 at 5:55 pm

Perfect recap, looks like a fantastic night.

I love your dress & it was cool that you wore white & your friends wore black.
Im so excited for your wedding, seriously cant wait to see the pictures!

Amanda July 12, 2010 at 6:16 pm

You look really pretty. The Wild Grape & the Wine Bar both sound amazing. Hope you had the best time! It looks like it.

allijag July 12, 2010 at 6:20 pm

you and all of your friends are so absolutely gorge! what an asbolutely wonderful bachelorette!!!!!!

Carbzilla July 12, 2010 at 6:24 pm

Here’s wishing you the BEST WEEK EVER!!!! Enjoy every minute!

Abby July 12, 2010 at 6:36 pm

Just in case you get a millisecond to read the comments here this week, I want to wish you the bestest weekend ever!!! Your party looks like a typically-fabulous Janetha-based event and I have no doubt that your wedding will be everything and more.

You look fantastic, as your natural energy just radiates out, girl. However, I would recommend NOT wearing the penis headband for the ceremony. Come reception time, all bets are off…

Michelle July 12, 2010 at 6:45 pm

Looked like TONS of fun!!!!

hundredtenpounds July 12, 2010 at 6:52 pm

Fun!!! That spa looks absolutely fantastic.

Run Sarah July 12, 2010 at 6:53 pm

Looked like so much fun! I had similar cookies at my bachelorette, haha. Absolutely loved your dress too!

Holly (The Healthy Everythingtarian) July 12, 2010 at 6:54 pm

love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

lindsay July 12, 2010 at 7:05 pm

oh my gosh I never laughed so hard at that penis egg maker!!!! LOL! That looks like a ton of fun. Your friends are awesome. You deserve that spa day. Soak it up all girl, its almost time.

Faith July 12, 2010 at 7:11 pm

Aw, you look gorgeous! Happy almost wedding day!

Looks like you guys had a blast. Dives are so much more fun anyways!

Sara @ Nourish and Flourish July 12, 2010 at 7:28 pm

Ahh! What a fun day/night! The purple cookies and accessories are hilarious.

Enjoy your last week of singledom! Can’t wait to hear about the big day!

Brynne July 12, 2010 at 7:30 pm

hahahahahah LOVE it! Your bachelorette should legitimately be remembered as the Purple Penis Party.

So cool how you wore white and everyone else wore black – standing out like you should! And dive bars are always more fun than overrated, overpriced “cool” bars!

Carla in Sydney July 12, 2010 at 7:33 pm

This looks like such a fun night!! You are so lucky to have a great group of friends! Enjoy this week and try not to stress too much. My one and only tip for the big day….”make sure you spend time with your HUSBAND”. It is so easy to get all caught up in talking to guests, etc that you forget to take time out to enjoy each other’s company and focus on what the day is all about – the love and the bond the two of you share. Can’t WAIT to see the wedding pics….I know you will look gorgeous! ENJOY!!! :-)

Tay July 12, 2010 at 8:04 pm

Ahhhh how fun!!! Enjoy your last week ;-)

glidingcalm July 12, 2010 at 8:11 pm

hahaha i love it allllllllll

Andrea@WellnessNotes July 12, 2010 at 9:03 pm

What an exciting week ahead of you!!!! I’ll be thinking of you every day! Enjoy every moment!

inmytummy July 12, 2010 at 9:04 pm

Woo hoo, your wedding is this weekend. I’m so excited for you.

I had those same penis straws at my bachelorette. And a different penis headband.

elaine @ Om Sweet Om July 12, 2010 at 9:10 pm

Aww what a fun party! You are going to be one hella happy and gorgeous bride Janetha! :-)

Erin 'Ed' Donahue July 12, 2010 at 9:49 pm

I love your dress! Does it have pockets? I love pockets too :)

Good luck with your busy busy week!

lisaou11 July 12, 2010 at 11:04 pm

you are hot. your hair, your tan. your white teeth. AND your penis’s!

MelissaNibbles July 13, 2010 at 2:28 am

Oh my. I’m leaving work early today to find a sex shop that sells a penis crown. My life is not complete now that I know this exists.

I’m glad you had such a fun night. You deserve it!

hayleycepeda July 13, 2010 at 3:26 am

Ahhh the penis paraphernalia…good times. Brings back lots of memories..heheheh….looks like you had a blast!!! You deserve it! I think the penis straws were my favorite!! ;) That spa looks amazing! The pictures alone made me feel calm and relaxed. Enjoy every moment J!! I’m so excited for you!!!!

Erica July 13, 2010 at 3:42 am

WOW! What a day! So sweet that you went from brunch–>spa–>party! Looks just incredible. Love your dress….love all of the dirty treats. Your friends ROCK! Ah! Congrats on the day almost being here

Kristin (Cook, Bake and Nibble) July 13, 2010 at 5:10 am

What a fun party! You had SO many friends! I’ll be lucky if I HAVE a bachelorette party with everyone coming into town at different times :P

Love the dress, it looks great on you!!

xo

Katie July 13, 2010 at 5:34 am

AH that looks like so much fun! I love your dress AND the owl shirt you were wearing earlier.

lowandbhold July 13, 2010 at 5:43 am

It’s happening! I’m so excited for you! That dress is fabulous. I wore a houndstooth shirt yesterday and thought about you about 27 times.

I hope this busy week goes by smoothly for you my dear!

Heather (Where's the Beach) July 13, 2010 at 5:51 am

You look so gorgeous and so happy! Love that dress.

Angharad July 13, 2010 at 6:48 am

Amazing! I LOVE your hounds tooth dress. Rock star. Your friends are also lovely – that spa treatment sounds like the jam! Ahh. You’re getting married this weekend!!! Weeeeeee!!

brandi July 13, 2010 at 7:05 am

What a fun day!!! That coffee mug is SO cute, and I LOVE the dress :)

bubblegumgymkat July 13, 2010 at 7:07 am

love your dress

Susan July 13, 2010 at 7:16 am

Bahaha, I love how the recap conveniently ends once you get to the dive bar. But I have a feeling that’s probably where the stories really start ;) And I can’t believe you found a white houndstooth dress!!!

LOVE YOU Janetha!!! We’ve both been MIA but you know I’m still keeping up with the wedding craziness. I hope you are enjoying every single second of it!! xoxo

Graze With Me July 13, 2010 at 7:18 am

Loves in this post:

– your white houndstooth dress
– your owl mug AND owl shirt! in the same pic nonetheless
– that fact that you hate pink as much as I do
– the look on your face when you held up the sex position book

Enjoy your last week as a single gal, it flies by fast.

GetHealthyWithHeather July 13, 2010 at 7:44 am

I love that all the girls dressed in black and you in white. So cute!

julie July 13, 2010 at 8:03 am

um are you prepared to not be janetha b in a week?

it’s my job to make sure you’re still okay with this.

you don’t have to return the penis egg flipper i promise.

;) you and marshmellows are a match made in heaven

julie July 13, 2010 at 8:03 am

…can i say equivalent to a s’more..

Sami July 13, 2010 at 8:15 am

SOO exciting. Looks like you ladies had a ball. You deserved it! I’m totally jealous of the spa treatments!! I need a good massage.

Also LOVE the Vicky’s Secret “Let’s Get Nakie” night shirt! SO cute.

Claire July 13, 2010 at 8:21 am

Good times!! :-)cc

Tina July 13, 2010 at 8:31 am

That looks like such a fun time. From the relaxing spa and brunch to the party and penises. LOL And I love how all your friends wore black and you were in white. Such a neat idea.

karrieanne5 July 13, 2010 at 10:02 am

You look like you had a great time! Your white dress is amazing – I bet you all got a lot of attention, what a group of hotties :) Good luck, breathe, have fun in the run up to the wedding – like others have said, try not to stress out too much, because whatever happens it will be one of the best, most memorable days of your life :D You’re beautiful, and are doing such a great job at staying on the ball at such a hectic time!
