2010-02-28 Whassup Baby Girl?

Went to a baby shower today! I like baby showers...more than I like wedding showers. Because at wedding showers, there is the embarrassing possibility that someone will give the bride a pair of crotchless panties in front of her mom and future mother-in-law.

Lots of cute things were given. Of course my gift is going to be returned. Sigh. I saw that she had registered for a Boppy and bought her one, but I noticed in some pictures she already had one. So I rushed to the store last night to exchange it. I got her the baby bath tub instead. Yeah. She already had that too. I'm like "Woman, update your registry!" I could have just given her the Boppy seeing as how she was going to return the next gift anway. Oh well. I hope she enjoys everything -- she's a sweet lady!

This is an awesome set of towels. This baby's bathroom is gonna be macked out!

2010-02-27 Please Enjoy Some Sugar

So tonight I went to a shindig on behalf of a charity I do some work for. It focuses on providing access to healthcare and education for pregnant women in order to reduce infant mortality and pre-term birth. Its a great org, but as with all non-profits, we need money! So a local gated community is doing a triathlon and donating some proceeds to us. I went to their kickoff party expecting some kind of buffet or appetizers, but when I got there, I found this:

Two eight-foot tables of dessert.

This picture doesnt event do it justice. It went around the corner and along the ledge as well. Holy mackerel.


When I walked in, a lady asked who I was and said "Oh we've been expecting you! Come in!" She brought me to a table with the other non-profit attending the event. I thought I would politely just ignore the food, as I've been trying to cut out the sugar, but nooooo. She brought me right over to the tables and said "Now, all our residents have been working really hard and made all these great desserts. Here's a plate and some napkins..." and she brought me to the beginning of the table. I sighed and dug in. What're you donna do? You can't be rude.

2010-02-26 Out for Lunch Part 2

Had another luncheon this week -- in Junior League we usually have a lunch during the year for any past presidents. I was the only one who was NOT as past president, but they invited me cuz I'm on board this year. One of our members has an awesome catering company in Fort Myers called The Flying Pig, and she catered it. Delish! Savory crepes and a salad! And for dessert, a medly of Whoopie Pies. Sometimes it sure is worth it to leave the house for lunch! : )
