On our way to Margaritaville

Last Friday was cold and gray in Brussels, but Cindy Lane's apartment was buzzing with conversation and pre-hangover happiness. 

Cindy's from Texas and knows how to mix her drinks and make her parties and Mexican food sizzle. She hosted a pick-your-own-theme party, and I decided on Margaritaville. I dressed in my beachy best, donning a sleeveless dress and flip flops in 38 degree weather, and I brought along my "lost shaker of salt."

Cindy had that 70s thang going on. Y'all should have seen her bell bottoms with the daisy appliques. Of course, she was wearing cute heels. She's no dirty hippie!

At first I was disappointed E had not turned on the flash for this photo, but you know, the bleary-eyed, out-of-focus vibe is just SO Margaritaville.

Good times.

Aww... you guys look like you had an awesome time!! I'm so bummed I missed out on a great party! I'll definitely be there next time!

Sounds like that was a <i>lot</i> of fun! I am so wanting a Margarita after right now. This is bad because it ain't Friday, and it's also not even 10 in the morning.

Looks like a lot of fun.. We texans know how to throw a party for sure...I/O

That photo would NOT be as fun if it were in focus. You guys look great.

Okay... come clean with the rest of the story! I know if you're hanging with Cindy that something crazy was bound to have happened! Yep, I've read her blog and know that she leads no ordinary life! Some kind of police was bound to have showed up... come on, spill the beans! :-D

Shirl Grrrl,

Cindy's adventures inspired many costume ideas for the party.

I could have come dressed in a suit with a skirt and shown up at the party wearing tights pulled all the way down to my ankles.

I also thought of coming in carrying a tram pass, air sickness bag and a can of Lysol, but I didn't want to induce Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.

I could have dressed as a Belgian "politie" and served her deportation papers...or dressed as an old lady carrying a poodle and a cane--the better to beat you with my dear.

So many possibilities. For those of you who want to read the whole story of Cindy's zany experiences, follow the link above to her blog and start at the beginning. Make sure you pee before you start reading and laughing.

"She's no dirty hippie!"

How fun to see two of my favorite Belgium bloggers together! I've been reading both your blogs since December '06 trying to get a feel for Belgium. I've been here almost three months now and still trying to figure it all out. Thanks for blogging!
