(I still feel like crap and the day hasn’t improved, but I hate leaving the whiny post at the top.)
Something that I’ve failed to mention lately is just how amazingly awesome my friends are.
Last week, my sisters threw me a virtual baby shower. (My older sister was out here visiting, and my younger sister was back in Homestate, but they both technically “hosted.”) Older Sister was the only other person (besides me) actually in the room, but we had an amazing cyberspace turnout. They’d set up a chatroom, and we uploaded photos to another website, and dudes, people hung out in my bizarre virtual cybershower chatroom space for *two hours*. I had a fabulous time, laughed a lot, and ate way too many cupcakes with Older Sister. And we got an enormous amount of fabulous, generous gifts for H. (which are still rolling in, in the mail–the UPS guy and I have become quite friendly). In fact, here is the Pile o’ Gifts Table (I’m leaving them out until GB’s had a chance to look through them, since he was off taking the Bar exam during the shower):
Seriously. How amazingly awesome are my friends? So awesome. I feel incredibly lucky (despite my general bad attitude). My virtual shower rocked.

that sounds like such a fabulous idea! and i hope the bar went well for GB, how long does he have to wait for results?

JustMe, it took 4 months to get the Bar results last time…so I’m guessing he’ll hear sometime in June. Fortunately, he’s working now, so that makes waiting easier.

You know, when I read your happier posts I usually start chickling. But not as much as when we chat. Then some crazy chickling goes down. And the Yogini yells out from her studio that I must be chatting with you. And then I chickle some more.

Oh, I meant to tell you something about the Sleep Sheep. I’ve heard they are awesome (Corwin and Clara were too big when the Sheep came out). But if you look at the manufacturer’s other products, there is a turtle nightlight. C & C each have one and they are amazing!!! I highly, highly recommend it (they have little star cutouts on the turtle back and it projects stars onto the ceiling for 40 min, in either white, blue, or green light – seriously, I want one!)

Canada, that’s too funny–we just got the Twilight Turtle in the mail today! (You can almost see it in the bottom right corner of the picture!) I love the sheep AND the turtle.
Skycat, we should be chatting more often. I can’t remember which chat program you usually use…?

That was funnest and weirdest baby shower ever!
Bravo!

is facebook not considered a proper place to chat?

I want one of those turtles for myself now…

Lucy, the turtle really is totally cool. You’d like it.
(The stars don’t move, though–not a big deal, but apparently, based on reviews, lots of people expected them to.)

Actually, I did imagine them moving, for some reason. I think I’ve seen a night light with moving stars somewhere. That would interfere with identifying the constellations, though.
March 2, 2008 at 5:04 pm
I thought they’d move, too. Still cool though.

How totally cool! It sounds like you had a great time and what a fun, innovative way to celebrate you and the baby! I’m completely intrigues by the virtual shower. And what a nice loot, too!
