Baby Showers And The Queen Of Pop
Today was a welcome break from serving snacks to my family of football fanatics... they all love the game and get way too emotionally involved. The next ten years of my life has been foreshadowed for me in the last several weeks as each weekend all the boys gather together to watch the big game, ( I should say games) down in the basement. I function merely as a waitress that they abuse by yelling "MORE SNACKS, mom!"
Not today. I got to play 100% girl and co-hosted a baby shower for my friend who is expecting in a couple of weeks. I kicked all the boys out, made homemade mushroom madeira soup with leeks... (I had heard of those before but never had cooked with them. You don't need them when you make nachos).
Anyway, I got all the stuff that I never use out and had lots of fun.
Deep down, underneath my effort to project a tom-boy persona and deny that I am a "closet crafter" I like doing the shower thing.
Tonight, I head out to an 80's decade birthday party where dressing up is mandatory. I started out thinking I could be Eddie Van Halen or Def Leppard. I'm going as Madonna - circa 1984 Lucky Star video. I know I'm too old for this.

Did you get new dining room furniture? And did I know that and forget? (Very possible!)
You've got the 80's down pat!
I didn't look that fat to ME in the mirror. My mind plays tricks on me...
Yes, new furniture. I purchased it with money my grandmother left me. I wanted to buy something that I would always have that would remind me of her. She would have definitely approved.
Now I remember! I can't believe the stuff I forget. Sheesh!
Cute bird. Does the ruler of the roost know what it is called. I think it is a redbreasted dopplewhapper. Your tables looked beautiful.
you look great! and what did you do with your old table and chairs?
...the black and red looks awesome together
