With all these thoughts about prom, and looking around google for extra ideas. I camealong to this picture… I could help but to think to myself how unbelievably random it was to find a “prom dog” on google.com I guess that anything could happen though!! Use this for the quick laugh! Let it make your day!!!

Prom! Pfff… No big deal right?!

Are you kidding?! This is the main high school event for many of us teenagers. Once its here, that is. before hand though, there is quite a bit of planning. Some on the girls, but also for us guys! First and foremost, the date. Who do we want to an entire night with? Pick carefully. It has to be someone that you’ll for sure have fun with. I’ve done a lot of thinking about how i was going to do the asking. I had creative ideas, and then not so much. For example, last year ( i was a junior) i decided that i was going to ask my date on her birthday. So i planned everything out, balloons, window paint, signs… the whole thing! Than her birthday came I had to act like i knew nothing about anything. But basically, I left my lunch period and took the keys to her car and began my “work of art” I put balloons around her car and wrote Prom?! on the back window. Not so bad eh?! This year though, was a different story, I was running out of time.. I needed a date. So I took my lady friend and asked.. Nonchalantly and asked her to go to prom.. I got the “yes” that i needed to hear. Good thing this whole planning will get easier!! :)

Technically date-less

So here I am talking about not having my prom dress and I technically don’t even have a date yet! Yes, I have a boyfriend and we both assume that we are just going together, but I haven’t actually asked him to go with, yet. I want to think of a creative way to ask him, like you see in all those reality t.v shows. The problem is I’m not that creative. some of the ideas that I have are kind are cute, but they have been done before. Maybe I just won’t ask him like that.

Oh where, oh where is my prom dress?

Prom. Yikes! It’s a month away already? My dress hasn’t even come in yet. It was suppose to be here four weeks ago, I’m a little worried it won’t be here in time for me to get it fitted. How come prom this year is so much harder to plan than it was last year? Who knows. Maybe it will get easier.

Here’s a picture of my prom dress. It is the purple one in the middle.
