While I have been to more brunch\u2019s featuring bottomless mimosas than most, the other weekend I was involved in one that was one for the books (the blog). I joined some ladies who brunch and who do something that is a blog in the making: they take notes during brunch to send out to everyone on Monday morning. Brilliant (slash terrifying), right?<\/p>\n
Why is this so brilliant? Because everything that happens at a bottomless mimosa brunch is, at the time, brilliant. The events of a BMB are always worth remembering, but unfortunately they rarely are. The anatomy of a BMB depends on the members in attendance but I have found that there are usually some common agenda items. The first is plan making. These plans are usually not realistic (see dream vacas), will never be carried out, or will never be remembered to not be carried out. Along with plan making are the champagne induced epiphanies. I have had some of my best ideas while mimosa-ing, which also usually turn out to be my worst ideas.<\/p>\n
Aside from big thoughts and big dreams, there are also some moments I can count on. There is the moment when everyone starts to get significantly louder, the moment when everyone catches themselves blindly staring, and the moment everyone determines all other plans for the day are put to bed, which is shortly followed by everyone going to bed. Depending on the group, I also usually expect some gossiping, excessive complimenting (how do you roll out of bed looking so flawless?), reliving of events from the previous night, and sometimes, just sometimes, some groups go on to the encore to brunch – day drinking\/dancing. There is also the inevitable moment when the bottomless mimosas *gulp * stop, which is either welcomed or (again, depending on the group) protested.<\/p>\n
Regardless of the events of a bottomless mimosa brunch, I always find it to be a magically fuzzy and bubbly event where friendships are more often started than ended. And I love that these very favorite new mimosa misses I joined document the glory so that everyone can relive it from the depression of work. The once “favorite memories we will never remember” from the weekend now resurface on Monday, and I kind of love it.<\/p>\n
