ms. anne-a-belle’s baby shower was today. i blew off a bbq at andrea’s last night to ensure that i was going to be in tip top shape. i do feel bad, but then i don’t. my nose looks like crap from all the blowing and i wanted to have daisy with me. i’m not sure that she is welcome at andrea’s new house.
anyway, miss anne-a-belle’s shower was at macarthur park in downtown palo alto. not only was it free, it was champange brunch for free. $31 per person for free. can you say, “mar and i didn’t eat enough”? anne-a-belle was showered with gifts from over 40 people. she got just about everything on her registry, and then clothes galore. she didn’t get as many little t-shirts and onesy’s as i thought she would, but she raked it in. there were three pregnant women there. anne, dina and one of anne’s cousins. i told anne on monday that i would trade places with her in a heart beat… i’d love to have children, the sooner the better…
back to the story… anne got 2 of the most beautiful handmade quilts that i have ever seen. one was a plain checkerboard, yellow and white to match the room, the other animal fabric built into star shaped squares, and then quilted with stars all around. made me feel like the blanket i’m knitting is nothing. i’m almost sorry i took it with me. then i showed it to anne’s mom. she teared up. i just love connie. she is the most wonderful woman. when mom gets back in town, i’ve got to hook the two of them up. i bet they would be great friends.
i had a good time at the shower, no i had a great time. i just have to figure out how to get out of my shell. it’s that aura thing, isn’t it. damn aura.
Look who’s talking…
