I *despise* baby showers. The games, the crappy hors d'oeuvres, the ridiculously stupid games, the oohing and ahhing over all the gifts. The worst part of it is being forced to socialize with people that I don't really care for. I understand why alcohol isn't a regular thing at baby showers with pregnancy and all, but it sure would be a lot more pleasant for us guests if the punch was spiked a bit.

When it comes to these things, I'm glad I have few friends so I don't have to deal with it. This girl is lucky that I pretty much consider her to be like a sister. There are only a couple other people that I would travel 2 and a half hours to endure 4 hours of hell.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day...

 

i'm just seeing this now but i agree 110%! there is absolutely nothing fun about a baby shower.

i remember i went to one once and they were "guessing" how big she was by cutting off a ribbon and then putting it around her stomach to see who was closest to knowing her width. the winner then got a centerpiece of flowers

 

I did end up getting a free plant out of it. More importantly, I've managed to not only keep the plant alive, but thriving (I'm going to have my mom transplant it into a larger planter next weekend). This is a record for someone that manages to kill unkillable plants.

I just saw that I listed games in there twice. They really are awful lol.
