I've never been to a bridal shower, so had no idea that there could be such a thing that the guests were asked to write down some advice for the mom-to-be. Glad to know nobody asked you about it again and that you met a welcoming bunch of people as well as eating lovely food and drinking wine.

Yo...Brooke said it first - but I completely agree! You would definitely have been able to give some fantastic, scrapbook-worthy advice to the mother to be.

This one sounds tolerable, as such things go. Wine for the win!<br /><br />Also, I know that pad of post-it notes must have touched a tender spot in your heart, but I've been reading your blog long enough to know that you would give as good or better parenting advice in some regards than many people who have living children. You didn't get to bring Katie home, but you know all the important stuff anyway--isn't it all about unconditional love?

I don't drive -- and at any rate, we only have one car, so dh dropped me off & went out for lunch himself. I thought he would hang out at the local mall or something until I called him, but he showed up early...! loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-11224091658584745542015-02-24T02:46:11.767-05:002015-02-24T02:46:11.767-05:00Mhmm, clearly I'm a foreigner, but why didn...Mhmm, clearly I'm a foreigner, but why didn't Dh come along? his family was there as well, he drove there anyway?<br />Well done for surviving and taking care of yourself.
