a list, i stole it from katie

my sister's face, i miss it.

Wearing: grey cooton pj bottoms from jcrew and a t-shirt sus made for Celebration #14
light blue with yellow writing (haven't brushed my teeth yet...)

Laughing: at Cameron this morning, came into the room, and had his computer in tow, and he can type something and a robotic type voice reads it, he uses it for school, but instead he comes in and types into it and it says "i am a robot and i can't help what my programmer does to me, i can only say what he types b/c i have no brain, i think you are a fartknocker.... S-H-U-T-U-PPPPPPPPPPPPPPP (but it spells all that out so it is say pee pee pee)" Anyways, i tried not to laugh at all the things he was making it say, but i couldnt help it.

Reading: John Grisham's The Innocent Man, i like it so far. Set in Ada, OK

Eating: Starbucks Sumatra Coffee donated by Wes Gentry with Pumkin Spice creamer, and a homemade by the due in 2 days Julie Holly biscotti.

Wanting: to go shopping for lots of cool stuff, but realizing that I can't. Also wanting to finish the
edges of the quilt. Wanting to clean the house. Wanting to decorate for the baby
shower I am hosting. Wanting to get everything ready for that.

Avoiding: cleaning the house and brushing my teeth.

Worrying: trying not to but: about the baby shower and making everything for it,
and wanting to impress people at work with how cute my house is and how
great the shower is. i sm sure it will be fine, but still.

Starting: to get stressed about all the things i have to do today, so i better go do them. but
also starting to thank God that I only have to work 3 days this week!! Yeah for
no more bonus days at work for awhile!!!!!

QUESTION: if you have had a baby shower thrown for you, or been to one:
what is the best or worst thing about it,
what games did you like/dislike
what food did you enjoy/not-so-much
were there children, and was it good or bad
what kind of cake (i am making carrot??)
what kind of drinks... punch?

let me know asap peeps!

love baby showers. love everything about them...except those pastel baby mint thingys...but alot of people like them. anyway. the best punch i've ever had is grammy freda's gallery punch. it is AMAZING. had it at ben's dedication. it is orange though. not sure if that would go with the colors. are you having colors? if your friend would like it, at a shower i threw i brought tons of stuff and had everyone scrap a (blank) page for the mama. everyone did more than one and she had a great (empty) book to fill ready to go!
also. the iron-on onesies were fun. i say go for activity instead of game. love you!

An easy punch is sherbert and ginger ale and you can chose which sherbert based on the color theme (raspberry for girl, etc). I agree with the activity idea vs. a game, although there are those easy cheesey games like bingo during gift opening or match celebrity babies with their parents. Love the carrot cake idea (mmmmmmmmm....carrot cake!) Your house is adorable, so you don't need to worry! We've had kids at almost all of our baby showers and it has worked out fine.
