the one with the most pins wins

Today was filled with two of my favorite things (okay three if you include the food). Shopping and babies.

It was Kristins baby shower today. I had spent an hour or so ahead of time at Babies R Us. My standard baby gift is a wooden box with sterling tubes inside. One for the birth certificate, one for the first tooth, and the first curl. Engraveable.

Then always one thing from the registry. Then I found this darling little stuffed animal. All wrapped up in tiers, with lots of curly, glittery topping, and the animal on top.

Her shower was great, lots of friends, lots of food, LOTS of pink. I can not wait until she has this baby. If I had not had my hysterectomy, I would have had more. I love me some babies!

At showers, wedding, baby, or otherwise, there is always the "pin" game. At wedding showers, you can't say the word wedding. Baby showers, can't say the word baby. You get the idea. You say the word, you lose the pin. Don't play this game with me, I always win.

I have about an hour before my own version of "nightmare of the living awake". Why in the world would a sleep clinic want you there at 8:30? Don't they know that's like about five hours before I even begin to think about sleep? Oh well. Tomorrow I will lay on my couch all day and watch football.

I have nine pins on my shirt.
