Today, M (other BFF and roommate) and I went to a friend's baby shower. (S had to work, sadly.)It was absolutely adorable. Everything looked perfectly pulled together from the sparkling grapefruit punch to the precisely arranged fine silver on the linen lined tables. We did the normal baby shower things: baby games, cake, presents, etc. It made me super excited for the new baby to arrive so I will have a little baby girl to spoil. :) I'm personally too young for my own child and have a lot more to learn before I take the courageous leap into motherhood. So I shall live vicariously through my friends who have chosen to reproduce earlier than I!
However, as magical as my morning was... I had to return home to pay bills and start my Christmas shopping early. Like a big girl. Paying bills isn't fun. I guess this is what I get for partying too much freshman year and losing that hefty scholarship of mine. Go April. Anyway, I paid a little tuition and bought a few things for family. Giving is good, giving is good, giving is good.
Another thing I need to get over... the fact that I work every weekend. ALL weekend. I work in a few hours and could be there until after Midnight. Great.
But on the bright side, (!!!) working a lot means more money. Which means more rewarding myself for the good things. Such as those awesome test scores last week, early Christmas shopping, and paying off this semesters tuition soon! I had a weak moment at 1:30 AM... involving VS Online and a $15 coupon. Hey, it was a good deal.
I guess that's everything that was on my mind.

P.S.
Here is an adorable photo of the only man in the house, Milo, wanting his fluffy tummy rubbed. And then a pathetic one of him in the bath sporting his "Milo Hawk". If you don't think he is one of the most precious things ever then we probably wouldn't be friends. ;)
