Blogblond Rules
okay, gang. here's the update:
blogblond -1
giant video thing -0
not only did she spend the night alone in the cold basement, we forced her to show a children's video before bed. to add further humiliation, we let the kids play mario brothers on her. take THAT, video wench!
on to better and brighter news, i went to anysara's shower last night. my five year old really did ask me, "mommy, are you really going to take a shower with all of your friends?" yeah...
anyway, we went to a place called "you're fired!" nope, no donald trump nonsense for the blogblond and co.- this place was where you pick out a piece of pottery (ceramics? glass? misc. hard white substance? i'm sure photochicklet will be able to set us all straight on this...) and paint it. then they glaze it and throw it (gently, i'm sure) into a kiln to make it all shiny and pretty and usable. everyone made anysara a something to use in her new home- from serving pieces to doggie bowls- and it was all reflective of our individual pesonalities, and all full of love for anysara. it was so much nicer than the run-of-the-mill shower where you have to sit and fake smile while the bride-to-be has to sit and fake smile when she opens her fourth crock pot. not that i have anything against crock pots, it's just all the cheesey fake smiling that makes me want to gag. oooooooooooooooooooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! those oven mits are SO PERFECT!!! they match you brother's eyes!! how perfect!!! and this computer keyboad cozy- how original and thoughtful- did you crochet this yourself? oh, it's knitted, not crocheted- so sorry... it's all the rage in bangladesh and hungary right now? wow- i'm so lucky to have a friend like you!!! large fake smile...
anyway, you get the picture...
but anysara's shower was the unshower. it was only people who really care about her- no courtesy invites. it was all the stuff women love to eat when they don't have to impress non inner-circle friends by eating veggie puffs with a dainty toothpick. it was all the easy joking around that happens among real friends and no discussions of the latest china pattern that people seem to think brides want to talk about. it was totally anysara through and though, and i have to say that i think it was the best shower i have ever been to.
so, that's all the news for now. i'm off to make something special in honor of martin luther king day. okay, really i'm going to guzzle some coffee and make my baby some oatmeal with applesauce mixed in. i was just trying to be pretentious.
have a great day!!!!!!

Unrelated comment (well kinda related - u did mention coffee there): My doctor told me to swear off of caffeine. I have been cold turkey 5 months now. Still in withdrawal. I think you, BB, need to do it too out of solidarity and other reasons.

hey dimmy- let me know the "other reasons" and i'll let you know if i'm in solidarity or not...
and for the recoerd, i don;t think you are cold or a turkey...
p-chick- you could be the definitive arbitrator of what in the heck those objects were that we painted. i know, for example, that i painted a serving platter of some sort, but i am at a loss as to what they are called collectively. so that's where your art degree comes in.
and the happy- that was just excitement about being out of the house!!
