who's with me?

Ok. Baby showers are supposed to be about 2 to 2.5 hours max, right? (Unless they're at a bar. You know who you are! Thanks again - best shower ever!!!)

You go, you have sweets/snacks, drink the punch, play the ridiculous don't cross your legs/say baby games, guess at the contents of the diapers and how many jelly beans are in the jar, collect your prize if you've been so lucky, smile and demure when the mom-to-be opens your gift, eat the cake, and we're out, right?

Maybe I should have known from the fact that an entire email account had been set up that this was going to be an unusual party.

It began at 1. MasterP and I left at 4:30, having just about come to the end of what you can expect from a 8 month-old, and they hadn't even cut the cake. Even more disappointing than that, they hadn't put out the fruit for the CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN. Sigh.

And I don't even know if I won the door prize. Bath and Bodyworks, y'all.

Now that's a bummer.

No chocolate fountain? Now THAT'S a bummer for sure! How disappointing. Was there at least a take-home gift? Personalized cookie?
