An American Way of Life: Leaving Party

Last Saturday was our leaving party - which we had in true Miller Style, at home. It was supposed to be only a couple of weeks til we left, but unfortunately we are still waiting for our interview date from the US Embassy in London, so we are at a bit of a standstill! However, we kept the original party date as lots of people had arranged to come and Sarah and Andy were travelling from Norfolk for it, too!

It was really nice to see lots of our friends and family turn up. Unfortunately there were a few ill people who couldnt make it - but I'm hoping that they will make it to my leaving do out in Leicester (which will ALSO be early!!)!! This will be less civillised than the party - I'm sure!! - but I DID spend most of Sunday feeling very ill trying to recover from the Long Island Ice Teas which I have become infamous for making!! They had to come out that one last time ....... ! We eventualy got to bed about 3:30am and I was up at about 7:30am with the twins so lack of sleep probably helped to account for how I felt the next day.

Of course, much drinking and eating was followed by Buzz! (in which I came a pitiful 8th out of 8!!), and then Singstar. Singstar ended up being me, Sarah and Sarah, vs Geoff, Pete and Michael. Girls vs Boys. People seemed to scarper a bit when the mics came out. Hmmmm ..... I wonder why????? I was particularly dissapointed when Paul went home as I was hoping to get him singing!! Pete and Michaels duet of The B52's 'Love Shack' was particulary entertaining, especially as Petes voice seemed to go about ten octaves higher during his girlie bits!!!! Unfortunately I didn't have enough forsight to video it but it IS saved on my PS2 memory card! The pictures aren't great but a few were taken so I've put some on!
