So, I got roped into going to Hubby's cousin's baby shower...I normally try to skip anything baby related (just not my thing) but this time, apparently the "women are talking about me" so I have to go. The cousin throwing the shower is kind of neurotic, so, since I said "alright, I'll come" I have gotten an average of 4 updates/month!! Nothing meaningful just "oh, by the way, the mom to be is now registered at Target" and "Oh, by the way, the mom to be will be flying home, so if you want to buy her anything big, mail it directly to her..." "Oh, by the way, mom to be has added some things to her Babies R Us registry." ENOUGH ALREADY!! I feel like writing her back and saying "sorry, I would like to be taken off this baby mailing list because I just got her a gift card and even then, I felt a little nauseous walking into the Babies R Us" I have an issue with throwing big parties and receiving ridiculous gifts for something you chose to do and others have done for millions of years without making their friends drink out of baby bottles and "guess the mushed up candy bar in the diaper". I am going to be the only CFCer there, so that immediately makes me a spectacle...plus, the mommy to be's best friend, who crawled all over my husband at mommy to be's wedding, stating "you aren't married..." (we were dating at the time) is going to be there in all of her snarky glory. Anyways, the whole point to this is...I'm just over baby showers...I really am...
