Tomorrow's my baby shower!
Yes, this is coming from the mouth of the same woman who told you last month that she loathes showers of any sort. But remember I also said they're fun for the person they're being thrown for? That's me! It's my shower! It's a day for me! Fa la la la la!
I really am excited. It'll be so fun to see so many people I love at once. I have a new dress to wear that only slightly makes me look like I'm smuggling a watermelon. I'm getting a manicure and pedicure tomorrow morning. There will be so much good food (and CAKE. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I've never met a cake I didn't like.) And we'll be getting all sorts of baby stuff that we (think we) so desperately need.
One other thing I'm very excited about is the gifts I got for my shower girls -- the ones who organized this whole shebang in the first place, Amy, Rebecca and Shay, and of course, mamacita, who I told repeatedly that it was inappropriate for her to get involved, seeing as how she's the grandma and it could be miscontrued as a direct soliciation of gifts for family members. (Ugh, that sounds so HR policy-oriented.) Anyway. I got their gifts this week and I'm really excited about them. I can't divulge what they are, of course, since they are my biggest blog fans, but well, imagine something good in a small box.
