Day 17.
Showers are WONDERFUL! The water kind and the kind that celebrate the start of a new life entering this World. Today my sister and I hosted a co-ed Baby Shower for my beautiful niece and her handsome guy as we all celebrate the upcoming birth of baby Charlotte! Now, anyone that knows me can attest that I am a worrier and figgiter (I KNOW it's not a word, but neither is TUMP, and I use that a lot!)... stay with me here....I panic over the details, the food, the presentation, the party environment.. making sure that everything flows, looks great, and is (most importantly) comfortable! By 10:00am this morning I was having chest pains (the shower started at noon at my house). I turned to my R.N. sister and said.. my chest doesn't feel good. I'm having severe chest pains..they come and go and hurt - A LOT. She rolled her eyes and told me I was fine, stop stressing and I was just feeling anxiety pains. Half a happy-pill and a hot shower later, my chest pains ceased and the party was in full swing by 12:05pm. The spread ... casual cookout-style) was awesome (not your typical church-lady group baby shower food), the games weren't lame, the house looked great, and my niece and her guy got great baby things! Yeah!!
Oh, word to the wise - I did a cute little arrangement on a tiered dish of cotton candy! Looked wonderful for about 30 minutes. Then the sugar started 'melting' and it lost it's allure. Still cute as a colored blob, though!
Missing my Soldier! He would've loved this day! Pook, if you're reading this, your gift brought lots of ooohhhs and ahhhhs. See you in 1 week!!
Happy Saturday night!
